Space Hulk is a board game for 2 players, recreating the battle fought between Space Marine and Genestealers (aliens). one player command the space marines as they carried out deadly missions in the darkened corridors and rooms of the ancient space hulk, and the other commands the horde of genestealers opposing them.

this boxset is produce in limited quantity, and it's sell as 'while stock last' basis. i manage to get 1 of this boxset because of the person pre-booked earlier cancel his order. =.="




first thing that i notice when i hold on to this box set - it's HEAVY! i brought it back home, put it on the scale machine, and the result is almost 4KG! i didn't open up the box set to check the content because i wanted to keep the box sealed for now. So below are some of the content of the box set pic that i taken from GW official web site.





the main thing that attracted me to this boxset is not because of the game, but the space marine miniature that came in this box set.

there's a lot of info about space hulk in this month WhiteDwarf magazine (GW monthly publish magazine). infact, WhiteDwarf itself is pack with lots of information and nice picture.





the section that i like most in this magazine is the 'Eavy Metal painting masterclass, where finest painter in GW showing the tips and techniques of painting the miniature the Eavy Matel way. (Eavy Matel is an elite team of people in GW where they are consider the best among the best painter!).
