Games Workshop - Space Marine Adventures (Boxed Game)

Product Information

With the matching foam topper, everything stays safely in place, even if the box is upside down. On the topper there is still enough space for the cardboard tiles, as well as for the bag. Five miniature-precise cut compartments accomodate your Space Marines. These lie separated from each other in soft foam. This avoids collisions and the rubbing or chipping of the colors of painted figures. Just pop your Space Marines off the frame and push fit their pieces – no clippers or glue required! Space Marine Adventures: Labyrinth of the Necrons is a fun and fast dip into the 41st Millennium. New players and teaching players don’t need to worry about lengthy explanations or example turns. Nearly everything a player needs to know about how to use their Space Marine can be found on their character’s card, and it even has a handy reverse side if your character becomes wounded. In all our cases of teaching a new player, they were ready to go after just a couple minutes of explanation. All of the item, character, and enemy cards have the same great art fans of Warhammer 40,000 will be familiar with and the space marine character cards actually depict that character as a fully painted model (you know, like the ones you got with the game could be). I do wish the enemy necrons were models, like the Space Marines, but I assume the decision to use tokens instead was to keep this game affordable. While the debut release, Labyrinth of the Necrons, was a solid introductory dungeon crawler, the newest entry is a more traditional tower defense structure. In Rise of the Orks you and up to four others are cooperating to repel an onslaught of greenskins who are assaulting a crucial shield generator on a war-torn planet.

The real thing that makes this game shine is the feeling of well-earned accomplishment after a clean evac despite the growing hordes of enemies. In a way, this game almost feels better played with all players giving input on how to use their collective team and items to complete their objective as opposed to playing as four individuals. There are no solo or personal objectives, just the one goal of the group. Managing whether it’s the right time for the heavy weapons expert to clear a path for the group or if the fastest Space Marine should try to dash to the terminal before the next wave of enemies, these are the decision that will spell victory or defeat for your team and they are best made together.Space Marine Adventures: Labyrinth of the Necrons is a cooperative board game that can be played with as few as 2 players or as many as 4. An average game can last, in our experience, anywhere from 15-30 minutes. Surprisingly Labyrinth of the Necrons has more in common with a puzzle or logic game than Warhammer 40,000 proper, but more on that later. You can have the same game experience with any number of players, but we’re all for having more brains to get out of tough situations. The game includes miniatures of the Space Marine Terminators and Necron Warriors, as well as a modular game board and various cards and tokens. The game is played in a series of rounds, where players move their Terminators through the labyrinth, exploring new areas and fighting off waves of Necron enemies.

Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine Adventures: Labyrinth of the Necrons is available exclusively at Barnes & Noble in the U.S. (see " Games Workshop Offers Three Intro Games"). The set fits exactly into the original 'Space Marine Adventures: Labyrinth of the Necrons' board game box from GamesWorkshop.

Labyrinth of the Necrons pits you and up to three friends against the terrors of a Necron Tomb in a game of heroic action in the far future. [1] Find everything you need to battle through a Necron tomb in one box, with models, rules, game boards, accessories and more. Space Marine Adventures are available in select independent retailers in the USA and Germany. [1] Images Thanks to the clear storage of the accessories, you can keep the overview at all times, save time when setting up the game and no token gets lost. The miniatures here are also focused on ease of entry as they’re push-fit and simple to assemble. You still need sprue cutters and a bit of patience, but the instructions are clear and easy to follow. As we’ve seen in the past, just because these miniatures don’t require glue doesn’t mean they’re cheap or soft in detail. In actuality, these figures slap like a Power Fist. The poses are dynamic and the edges crisp. They’re a joy to paint as well.
