This weekend the local HMGS-South group played a game of Space Hulk. The mission for the Space Marines was to find an artifact at the far end of the table and return it to one of the entry points. First edition (1989) rules were used, with a few additions from the expansions.
The objective artifact is hidden in one of the bio-engineered rooms at the top.
The left squad covers Genestealer entry points on the left while the others move toward the objective.
No casualties so far, but the right squad is nose to nose with some Genestealers.
The Space Marines take significant losses before reaching the objective area.
The captain orders the survivors to escape if they can….
… while he holds off the hordes.
There were only four marine survivors, and the artifact was not recovered. A complete Genestealer victory.
