Seems a new ruleset with matching FW Realm of Battle plates.

Huh, neat, though I am sceptical, this is FW and this will be overpriced.

edit.

Oh, I see they're now warning that there might be tiny holes in them.

Pictures. I demand pictures damn it!

The page lists 98 pounds.

Like I said, overpriced.

Ignoring the 98-pound cost, the rules look wonderful.

It's like Space Hulk 40k.

Everything is super-lethal.

It's like a hyper-random and unbalanced version of Infinity.

Oh god I love those rules.

Aye, and I think they want you to buy 6 sets for a full board too.

Depending on what the tiles look like, it shouldn't be too hard to find suitable (and affordable) replacements.

Yeah, stuff like the City of Death buildings, or the various 3rd party 3D Space Hulk sets will get you far. Or if you have an Anphelion Base lying around or something.

I hate it when they use Greek letters and then get the order of them wrong (alpha, beta, gamma, delta!).

BTW not sure how they will look (I'd buy an Anphelion Space Hulk on sight), but it seems that Ziterdes had a viable alternative:

The set comprises of four 1' x 1' squares. I also demand pictures.

I can't pull up the rule on my phone, can anyone. Confirm whether they are the same or similar to the boarding rules in IA9 (or 10?).

Aye, the PDF document even makes a reference that these are the reworked Zone Mortalis rules after feedback from IA9.

OH boy!

I'm guessing from the diagrams in the rules that the 1x1 blocks will mirror those - so a couple of corners, some straight lines, and lots of 'blank' space. Mix'n'match to your hearts content.

I think it's a good idea, I'm a total junkie for terrain, and especially space-hulk-ish terrain.

Good excuse to buy these...

Didn't Kyoto do a review of those?

Aye, I'm guessing they're in the same style as the first FW Realm of Battle plate, so you can use that one as the entrance to the Zone Mortalis. I'm curious how they'll look.

Another re-release of Space Hulk by the looks of it, just using the 40k ruleset for the kids. Meh, It'll give me an exscuse to play games on my mates Space Hulk tables more often, but that's not to say that I'd fork out the money for the book (they've already given us everything we need in the PDF ¬¬).

Isn't Power Armour "Void Hardened"? The Mk3 was made specifically for boarding actions, as do marines fight in space in the fluff often (one even survived for a few millenia in hibernation out there).

Where on earth do you get that from? The 'fighting aboard a ship' stuff is from the Badab war IA books, and this is just a terrain release to go with them and a PDF of those rules put out for free. It has nothing to do with Space Hulk, re-release or otherwise. And for 'the kids'? What does that even mean???

I know that its part of the IA release, I'm just commenting on that it seems to just be an updated version of Space Hulk. The kids comment was me referring to the complexity of the Space hulk rules, and these being relatively simple.

It is ever so difficult to convey a sence of sarcasm over the internet. ¬¬

This looks like a lot of fun!

Nice rules. Want pics NAO! Some of the alternative terrain systems in this thread looked kinda nice..

Ah. Thankyou.

Let's wait and see how the (significantly more expensive) FW version compares.

If these look anything like what I am imagining my wallet it going to hate me!

I don't want to post in that thread out of fear that Xenohunters would bust my Necron ass.

However, that is the most comprehensive and useful review I've ever seen of a miniatures product.

Kid_Kyoto is my hero.

Page is offline now

This looks amazing. I cant wait to see the FW product.

Worth a go!

I won't be buying any terrain though, bit too simple to make your own imo!
