As a fan of the original Board game, This game ended up being nothing less then what I expected. But, not a great deal more either.

I had a bunch of friends in High School who got really into W40K and so I bought a few models myself. While I loved building my armies, I could never get into the game, It was far too complicated and time consuming. However, the tight claustrophobic, squad based battles of space hulk were loads of fun to me.

If you are looking for a game oozing with atmosphere, while being as simplistic and easy to understand, then this game is for you.

If you want pages of charts and stats, and a steep learning curve that take months or years to master then poke on over to something else. While the game has many weapons and abilities to aid your strategies, it is still at it's heart a board game, meant to be easily understood, and enjoyed in quick bites.
