We have a fight. Brave boarding party hit enemy's ship on their cestus ram and...
End what next? I mean in every novel we seen same gak. They rushing toward decks like it's running stadium. Yeah there not so brave defenders. In most cases just some hobos. But wait? What is it? iTS A BULKHEAD DOOR!!!

Sarcasm a said where all that ol' good hermetic doors? It's a space ship in an age of constant war and it'll shall be logical to shut them to prevent oxygen leak(and dead bodies leak from hole in hull, which we seen in every damn space battle . Imperial ships do not have emergency protocol which shut all doors locked? It's have and we see it in Cain novels. So how many meltas mines do boarding party can bring with them? And how many doors on mile long corridor? How long it took to cut them all with meltas torch? What's happening with brave boarders when they stuck before next door...

P.S. sorry just read another groks product in novels and get a bit frustrated

The fun of something like a Cestus is you can, with a lot of luck and some pilot skill, arrive somewhere the enemy crew really don’t want you to be. Engine Room, Warp Drive or Bridge.

From there, you’re likely deploying specialist units. For instance, Terminator Squads with Chainfists, which make a mockery of flesh and bulkheads whilst being all but immune to counter fire. Power Armour with Boarding Shields with Las-Cutters and Melta Charges distributed within the squad and Bolters for squishing enemy crew.

I do wonder if there’s an Eldar Aspect dedicated to such actions. But Warp Spiders would be an absolute nightmare to face in such close confines. Why go through a door, when you can short range teleport, and then soup anyone on the other side in the blink of an eye.

Orks? Don’t worry about doors, that’s wot Dragnatz’s head is for, and the Nobz’ power klaw.

There is genestealers cultist boarding RT ship. No fancy things. But instead of shutting doors they fight endless swarm...
I'll wouldn't whining if there is all that fancy guys. But most times there is tacticals who have single melta-bomb... I understand that if they close does novel ended at that page, but God-Emperor how it's stupid.
