Looks cool.

This and Deathwatch... freaking fantasy flight, taking away my 40k and dnd time....

Looks kind of meh to me. The art doesn't look astounding by any means, and card games don't often intrigue me. The concept seems okay.

i'll wait for a review before jumping in (either here or BGG) but they've at least got me watching. i especially like the fact that it's coop 1-4 players instead of players vs GM.

My only thought is - why?

ditto.

wtf would anyone want to play that lol???

Yeah, I was thinking, if I had a buddy over and there was just 2 of us, why wouldnt we just play Space Hulk instead! Ha!

a)You can play it alone.

b)There is a market for Space Marine themed games.

yeah,
A few obvious reasons stand out for me. It can live in your bag and played whenever the opportunity arises e.g. Taken to the Pub and if you bump into a 40k buddy play a quick game of space hulk!

Also It's one player... not many games you can play solo while your waiting on someone.
I'm a big fan of non-collectable card games. anyone who's played Citadels or Grass will know where i'm coming from.

It looks interesting to me I like how the game on the table kinda looks like a hulk!

Panic...

Pocket Space Hulk? Bully!

Space hulk.. in your pocket? My word!

because it isn't out of print, doesn't cost $100, and doesn't require an hour minumum to punch/assemble properly the first time (and dozens more if you want to properly paint the minis).

its step one in there plan to release space balls hulk the lunch, or space balls hulk the action figure

or space balls hulk the flamethrower

Yeah!
Because no one here likes painting minis!

"Death Angel"?

Really now..

Not sure why there is so much hate on this. It's up to 6 players - last time I checked there weren't many 6 player GW-themed games you could finish in about an hour. It's by Corey K, so should be good gameplay too.

I really like FF's Silver Line games for their value, so I'll be picking this one up for sure.

Mez

doesn't llok to bad to me, cheap, sinle player and playable in an hour. I'll be picking it up.
