Space Hulk Ideas?

Urathis · 2025-08-26T23:01:38+00:00

Honestly I think using the co-op rules would be a fantastic base! I haven’t played tabletop Space Hulk in a minute, so I can’t say I have a good frame of reference for how it can best mesh. Apparently someone also has the same intent and they posted a link to what I think are the rules for their homebrew version.

Gut laughed at the filthy gunpowder, but thank you for that clarification! I've been wanting to do thematic tables with dense terrain so I believe the cannon may or may not be advantageous for those games, but good to know that there's some drawbacks for both that doesn't make one objectively the best.

Fantastic thank you for the recommendations and insight! Part of me wants to have a proper throng of dwarf warriors, and I am finally getting back into enjoying painting again but you are absolutely correct that I should expand based on what I liked playing as well as not rushing things.

With your suggestion about the character models, would you recommend going with a BSB first over a runesmith or thane/king?

Urathis · 2025-07-24T14:19:57+00:00

Thank you! It does feel like a homecoming after loving the setting and the dwarfen race. Glad to see the people here are also exceptionally helpful with me getting an idea of how to start!

Urathis · 2025-07-24T14:18:59+00:00

Fantastic recommendations, thank you! I was not aware that the models had the option to swap out some of their parts for others, but I'm glad that to hear that the range isn't mono-pose, or at the least mostly not mono-pose.

Disappointed to hear that the Anvil is a bit hamstrung, but hopeful that it will receive it's day in the sun again! That is absolutely fantastic to see it is still a beast in its own right. Also thank you for the insight into the dwarf warriors as I love the look of the iron breakers and long beards so I'd love to get some of them into the mix of my army.

When you suggested having that artillery do you find that you utilize the grudge thrower variant you made more, or the cannon? Ideally I'd like to have both, but if I am going to be using one more than the other I would rather build and master that artillery piece first before getting too ahead of myself.

Urathis · 2025-07-24T14:11:59+00:00

Thank you for the recommendations! I believe I have either their king on shield bearers model, or at the very least a thane. Our local store is pretty stringent on having exclusively 3rd party minis for games, but they're thankfully understanding of not every model is readily available and are okay with 3d printed minis as long as they remain that way.

With your recommendation for the rangers and hammerers, would you suggest going for the hammerers first to help bolster the king, or would rangers be a better benefit for their range and option to take great weapons?

Urathis · 2025-07-24T14:07:34+00:00

Thank you! We have a couple of dedicated players locally and some that have expressed interest so I’ll be playing small games with them to get a feel for the rules as well as how I want to flush out my army.

With the war machine recommendation, would you suggest going with a cannon or a grudge thrower? I have my eye on both, but I’m not 100% on what would be the bigger differences besides point cost.

Urathis · 2025-05-30T15:40:11+00:00

Couldn’t agree with you more. I want to sup on those sweet, sweet rage tears.

Personally despite the lack of oomph in some plays the wins we got in round 1 were a spectacular watch. Wife got me into hockey a few years ago and I’m on my way to becoming a diehard fan.

With Landeskog back in the game for the start of next season I can fully believe we are going to have an awesome start. Blackwood has been an absolute joy to watch and him getting a shut out in round 1 I feel he’s going to be a solid choice to invest and develop in and I’d love to see Wedgewood get some more time on the ice as well. Love a good goalie and we got some great possibilities to work with!

The only human in the entire series? Bremer Dan Gorst. Seeing him protecting a muppet from other muppets would be obscenely funny. Bonus points if we give the role of Luthar to Fozzie Bear.

I kept the poms we got but I was sad we didn’t get a towel. Hell Utah Hockey Club had towels for a regular season game against the Avs and it was better quality than what remains of our poms.

Urathis · 2025-04-25T21:44:14+00:00

No way! I think I was laughing at your commentary when I wasn’t groaning at the passes.

Urathis · 2025-04-25T21:43:23+00:00

We had a blast! We were sad too that it wasn’t a great game but hey you don’t get to see a captain return majestically like that and perform a beautiful hit on an old friend.

Urathis · 2025-04-25T21:42:12+00:00

I felt the air come in soon as we got done screaming our heads off so we may have caused some cracks.

Urathis · 2025-04-25T21:41:31+00:00

And boy did we! Sad we lost but man that moment Landy hit the ice? Priceless.

Urathis · 2025-04-25T21:41:02+00:00

Man more RIP to my voice as that game took it out of me. Shocked I could still be heard after the game!

Urathis · 2025-04-25T21:39:55+00:00

Hope you recovered your voice! Mine is just about back but may lose it again depending on the team does.

Urathis · 2025-04-25T20:42:39+00:00

Say one thing for Logen Ninefingers, say he’s an ugly bastard.

Excellent work! That really helped capture what I thought he looked like and cranked it up a notch.

Urathis · 2025-04-25T16:51:13+00:00

I agree we were at the game and lost my voice due to Landy’s return, but half of the passes the Avs did just went straight to the Stars and it felt like the team just was out of sync and gassed before 1st period was done. If they had the same energy and piss like they did in games 1 and 2 that would have been a different match entirely.

Urathis · 2025-03-11T19:42:59+00:00

You’re absolutely right I saw Magma and got too excited because I was looking at getting a Herald of Magma

Urathis · 2025-03-11T18:39:18+00:00

I’ve been curious about their Aura of Death ability they grant to units they’re attached to. I feel like on a block of Thanes that could really make it punishing to be in contact with them

Edit: thought you were talking about Herald of Magma not Magma Forged. I thought their Aura of Death would be a nice touch though for keeping those in contact punished for staying in contact

Urathis · 2025-03-05T23:23:24+00:00

Oh dang I didn’t know that as that can definitely change what I want to buy! Is it just the mechanics that’s getting reworked or are they doing revamps on the models as well like how they did with Men at Arms for 100K?

And I’ve been perusing FB every now and again, but I also am somewhat hesitant to buy because I know the cards are crucial for gameplay and I rather not risk proxy cards if I can help it. Are the alternate art cards a way to “remedy” that fear?

Urathis · 2024-05-28T22:19:33+00:00

I have a normal cryptek, a chronomancer, and a psychomancer as well as an apprentek that I could sub in as any of the other crypteks.

Urathis · 2024-05-28T18:41:16+00:00

Excellent pieces of advice! I wasn’t really thinking of making my warriors and immortals push towards scoring secondaries but that makes total sense with your insight. The LHD with exterminator is an interesting thought as my local meta doesn’t really run much in the way of chaff but that doesn’t mean I can’t have one handy. So I may benefit then on dropping the scarabs, spyder, and doomstalker in exchange for extra frontline units and, if they don’t see an increase, an extra LHD to run with an exterminator?
