New storage trays just for Space Hulk

Sheesh

Well, I did preorder my copy of Space Hulk the day it was announced. Long story short, it's here in Indianapolis at the Fedex location, but won't get here till Monday. Dang, that would have been my whole weekend! *sigh*

Space Hulk 3rd Edition!!!

My thoughts on 3rd Edition Space Hulk
Likes:

- Awesome models. Not too sure about the non-standard bases, if one was to call them that. I like that they are using new models, both on the Space Marine and Genestealer side.
- New tiles. And they even look like they will work with the old tiles. A boon for me since I've never picked up multiple sets.
- Entry point markers. Great idea, but I'll most likely replace mine with Litko ones.

Dislikes:

- No 3D terrain. I know it would have made the set at least twice as much, but I was still hoping. I'm working on my own set. More info on those to come!
- 1st edition Flamer rules. Common guys, make up your mind. I'll be using 2nd edition rules for this.
- Sand timer? Too small to see across a table, and I have my own digital one in the works.

Overall I am excited, just over the attention & intrest the new release will create. The BBG boards are lit up like a xmas tree!

WooT!!!!!




Well, another year has come to pass, but all I can say is I HAD A BLAST! Was able to get into Troy and John's Gencon session, and actually completed the mission!!

Yes, my camera still sucks! One day!

Update: BTW, I think the 2 cases I had this con of minis falling off thier bases had alot to do with me leaving them in the truck during the hot day...
