Recovered (almost) + Space Hulk Card Game

Well, after a few days taking it easy, the back has almost settled down and I've been fit enough to return to work. I've just this evening finished reading the the last of the Gaunt's Ghosts omnibus trilogy, 'The Lost'. What a great read, and I now I feel strangely sad having got to the end, wishing there was another couple still to read (sigh). The Space Hulk card game 'Death Angel' arrived in the post yesterday. I've skimmed through the rules, and I can't make any sense of them at the moment ! LOL. A more detailed read is required along with watching a couple of the vids on U-Tube on this subject. Here's one of the better ones:

Laid Up With A Bad Back - Reflecting On Stuff

Today after waking up with a bad back I went into work hoping it would ease off like yesterday. However... it didn't. To cut a long story short my back went into spasm and it became so bad I couldn't sit at my desk. I ended up lying on the office floor for over half an hour and one of my colleagues ended up giving me a lift home (I was in too much pain to drive).
Installed on the sofa with a fistfull of pain-killers and muscle relaxants inside me I can now at least sit up, so it seemed a good opportunity to do a blog posting and reflect on the last couple of weeks.
They say things come in threes; first I'm struck down for almost a week with a bad dose of man-flu, followed by last night with me having an accident with my son which end up with his head hitting my mouth and giving me a badly split lip. Now the back goes..... Hopefully this is the end of this run of bad luck....

Managed to get a game of Space Hulk in just after X-Mas. For the first time ever I used the solo play rules which I have to say worked really well. Continuing on the Space Hulk theme, after reading several good reviews I've gone and ordered myself a copy of the Space Hulk - Death Angel card game which should hopefully turn up in the next day or so.

Since I posted on 22 Dec I've continued reading the Gaunt's Ghosts omnibus books. I've now finished 'The Founding' and 'The Saint', and laid up this afternoon I've now started on 'The Lost'. What a great series. As a frustrated sci-fi writer myself I can only read in awe at the scale of the stories and landscape that they are set in (deep sigh). My favourite character so far has to be Master Sniper 'Mad' Hlaine Larkin :)
-
For the Company of Heroes players out there the big news is of course that the Version 3 of the Blitz mod was made available for download on the 24th Dec. Several new vehicles are included, my favourite being the German Sturmpanzer IV 'Brummbar'. Expensive to buy, and you can only have one, so it does poses some downsides to the alternative which is up to three Grilles. For offensive actions though it is as tough as nails and that 150mm Howitzer round does a huge amount of damage.

Space Hulk - The Novel by Gav Thorpe

Space Hulk - The Novel by Gav Thorpe. Picked up a copy last week in the Peterborough Games Workshop. The action is totally contained within a Hulk and follows two squads as they cleanse the opposition. Although a fan of Space Hulk for years I must confess I haven't been familiar with a lot of the 'fluff' surrounding Blood Angel Terminators; for instance the fact that a Terminator is over 8 foot tall was a surprise to me. What I did love in the novel was the constant references to each other as 'brother' to 'the Angel' and to what are almost prayers the Characters keep coming out with during the action, such as:
"Praise to the Angel for he shall guide my aim".
"In the Angel's eyes we shall know victory"
Not a long book, and I finished it quite quickly, but a good read all the same for fans of Space Hulk, and very reasonably priced at only £ 3.00.

First Games Of 3rd Edition Space Hulk

At the Huntingdon club tonight I introduced one of the other members (Chris Lowe) to Space Hulk. Over a three hour period we managed to get four games in, and had a great time. For the first time I was using a Sgt with a Thunder Hammer and Shield. On both occasions he did rubbish, so even though he's meant to be a close combat specialist, in future I'll keep him out of the action for as long as possible !

Space Hulk - 3rd Edition

My copy of Space Hulk arrived yesterday. There are far better reviews than I could write of the product on The Miniatures Page (TMP). Suffice to say, the game is of excellent production quality and I am very pleased with it. My only word of caution is on two accounts.
1. You need to be careful geteting the models off the sprues. A good set of clippers is a necessity.
2. The models are quite fragile and will need to be casefully stored if damage is to be avoided.

Space Hulk & Club Night

Finally succumbed to the buzz about the re-released Space Hulk and went on-line to order a copy direct from GW. I was amazed to find them out of stock, so I ended up ordering from a small company called Stafford Games. Just waiting for it to arrive now... Provided work commitments don't get in the way I hope to have a game at my local club with it next week. Talking of the Huntingdon club, I went down on Thursday night and found it was the start night of a new Blood Bowl league. 18 teams have been entered which should make for a great tournament. I would love to have joined in myself, but with work and family at the moment I sadly can't guarantee regular enough attendance to make the kind of commitment required.
There was a very tidy game of 25mm WW2 underway using the Crossfire rules, which I watched for a while. Here's a couple of photos.

Space Hulk - By 'Teardown'

Found out from a posting on the Space Hulk Yahoo group that a team of Space Hulk enthusiasts called 'Teardown' have been developing a PC version. Check out their web site for more info. In the meantime here is a small movie of the game. This looks excellent, and could be brilliant as a PBMEM game. Fingers crossed they find they can release it when they eventually finish the programing.

Warhammer 40k: Space Hulk - Stop Motion Movie

I thought today I'd embed a link to, IMHO one of the finest stop-motion movies you will find on U-Tube. Made by a guy called Conlan, this is a great piece of work. Enjoy
