codex battlezone : space hulks
i'm thinking of writing a battlezone codex for boarding missions on ships and in hive towers (ect) for engagement raging from 5 terminators right up to apocalypse sized battles (eldar craftworlds or large imperial vessels do get that big)
is anyone interested in getting involved? the project will need somone who can produce artwork, someone who can produce (or has) sample gaming boards, somone with the IT skills to write it up and as many people as we can get to playtest it before a final copy is produced anyone who wants to help can iether post on this board or PM me, all ideas will be considered and any help i can get would be greatly appriciated

Re: codex battlezone : space hulks
they did a game called space hulk, and a codex battlezone for cityfights. i am talking about very dense terrain, surgical raids on buildings entering at hundreds of metres above the ground, deep space assaults on enemy capitol vessels
i haven't heard that they were doing anything like that

I'm up for this.  I love boarding actions. In fact, my IG army is space themed.  Like, they live on a Frigate.

Re: codex battlezone : space hulks
Yeah...
Space Hulk was good, but it'd be better coming up with a supplement for normal 40k of battles within ships. Maybe make it star wars battlefront 2 style, where there are areas on the ship to be destroyed to disable certain features. There are excellent ideas for games...

Re: codex battlezone : space hulks
The problem is that depicting a Boarding Action requires radically different terrain. Whereas Cityfighting is essentially just using a lot more ruins than normal, Boarding Actions have to be fought in corridors and through rooms, neither of which are easily put together using your average terrain set.
So, short of playing a 40K game on a Space Hulk board, I don't see any situation where this proposed ruleset would ever be used...

Re: codex battlezone : space hulks
the boards would be a problem, say use a serries of strips about an inch high with a small base for walls. we can include a tutorial for how to make them. problems like that can be solved easily.
3v!l, luy22 are you in? anyone else, post here or put a PM in my box ;D

Re: codex battlezone : space hulks
As I said in the PM. I'm not too good at making up rules. Fluff, however, yes, I'm good at.
I've read a few Forge World books and loads of codices so I can do that quite well.
