Space Hulk Original version

[PaulRPetri]

I have no idea why I did this project I had never played Space Hulk ever in my life but a strange whim took me so I decided to see if I could make a game out of nothing. I was able to find all of the original rules and expansions: Deathwing and Genestealers on line as free PDF's. Step one completed. I then won some Ebay auctions and obtained some original figures and some second edition metal figures. I created the game boards using Hirst molds, https://hirstarts.com/molds/moldssci.html and dental stone to cast them.
Now a few shots of some games.











The games are very fast and fun to play with a ton of tactical decisions to be made in each contest. I still have a bunch of terminators still to paint but not as many figures as I normally have with one of my insane projects.
Thanks for looking

Space Hulk is one of the three best games Games Workshop ever relesed; the other two are Blood Bowl and Mordheim. I have the old SH game and play it sometimes with my son. I also use their original tiles for my 15mm games.
I love how you painted your minis with bright colours just like in the old days, and the terrain is terrific. Congratulations!
PS. I dreamed once about doing one SH with the tiny Epic range on the magnetised board.

Thanks Javier! I did go for the old school look of things because I am old school!

Not suggesting you buy these st files & go mad painting, but what this guy doesis impressive (& possibly a little crazy).

Very very cool! Not my usual ‘cup of tea’, but still very cool!

I've seen that and it looks fantastic but his voice is so annoy-ing!

Really? Eons of Battle (he has a real name but I forget it) speaks a little fast for me but I don't find his accent remarkable - a lifetime spent watching American movies & TV?

I am fairly uninterested in Warhammer, which is all E0B covers, but I watch his videos sometimes because I like his enthusiasm & although our painting styles are world's apart, I still sometimes pick up a useful hint. Particularly on products.

I was talking about him to my son. EoB evidently doesn't have a "real" job but my boy assures me you can make a very good living off of YouTube if you produce a large number of popular videos.

I am gobsmacked & envious in about equal proportions.
