For many, Space Hulk is a title synonymous with the best of Warhammer 40k. First released in 1989, this two-player game sees Space Marine Terminators hunt through the ruined corridors of colossal spaceships while beset by ravening aliens: the Tyranid Genestealers. Cultist Firebrands are absolutely deadly at mid-range, and they also inflame the zeal of nearby Cultist hostiles. Their bodies are swollen with infernal power… so let’s just say you don’t want to be standing close to one when they’re killed… Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower combines the dungeon crawler coreof HeroQuest with the character persistence and upgrades of tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons. Filled with stunning Warhammer models and colossal dungeons that never have the same layout twice, Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower is a board game that swiftly can take over your life with dungeon-delving goodness. The great Craftworld Aeldari Farseer Eldrad Ulthran boarded the fortress, attempting to remove the taint of Chaos and return the fortress to Aeldari control. As the fortress had been possessed by a portion of the mind of the Chaos God Slaanesh, Eldrad's body was destroyed, but his mind remained trapped within the construct. The Primaris Psyker Aradia is able to use her precognitive abilities to make other players more effective. Her unique action, Psychic Boost, will help your team succeed on crucial actions. Mind over matter and all that.

This is also something of a minor issue. The length of play is somewhat unpredictable. Some Combats wrap up in 15 minutes. Others take closer to an hour. And there are Encounters that do things like separate the party or even result in one Explorer singled out to fight in a mini Combat Encounter on their own. Playing the game solo, which is awesome and second only to Gloomhaven in this genre as a solitaire option, alleviates this matter. But when playing with a group this somewhat uncertain duration and possible downtime may abraid some sensibilities. Expect a single expedition or stronghold assault to last 2 to 3 hours. After years of collecting, buying and selling, building and painting, we realised that we had amassed a small library of Build Instructions, Assembly Instructions and User Guides for various Games Workshop products. The length may be an issue, as noted...I haven’t finished the “full” game, I’ve only gotten through three strongholds so there is one more and a hidden vault left...and it actually kind of doesn’t end. There is a sealed finale, but even that is not really an endpoint. Hence the Roguelike comment. For those who love the mechanics of Warhammer Quest but need something a little more narrative-driven, Cursed City ranks as one of the best Warhammer board games around. It also helps that, like previous releases, this version of Warhammer Quest comes loaded with some of the most beautiful models Games Workshop has released. From leaders with Warhammer-themed special abilities to special objectives that can grant game-turning rewards to the player that completes them, Risk: Warhammer 40k isn’t just Risk with a paint job. Even the map itself has been designed to encourage battle – fitting for a Warhammer board game.

Shellhead, thank you for mentioning EEAaO. Watched it last night and it was an enjoyable and unexpected experience. Girlfriend and I talked about it quite a bit afterwards. Having a bit of lighter fun with people at the local club playing Forgotten Waters. The only disappointment is that because there's around 20 people playing different games in a pub's function room...

As if the ground disappearing beneath your explorers’ feet wasn’t bad enough, there is another new threat to your explorers – the Guardian Drones. We’ve already seen the awesome new models , but what can they do in the game? Well, they are armed with a selection of weapons that make them deadly at every range. As well as reinventing some classics, the set features a host of Chaos worshippers never-before realised in plastic (if at all), including Traitor Guardsmen, Rogue Psykers, Chaos Beastmen and the Negavolt Cultists.

I can't remember the exact moment, but I think in season 2 he just really lets his anger get the best of him, beating people up on the sidewalk for the most trivial stuff. Just his explosive temper,...
