Arriving towards Autumn/Fall GW will be releasing a new 40K board game.

The big takeaway from this post is that we should be looking at an Autumn/Fall release date. Keen-eyed readers pointed out months ago that all of the Space Marines were from the previous Japanese exclusive Space Marine Heroes:
Personally, I’m just looking forward to seeing how this new board game works. Surely, there is more to the board than that one tiny tile, right? I mean, we can all kind of see how this is going to work – probably similar to Lost Patrol. The Marines start on one tile and are looking for their objective or the exit. The Necrons spawn in and it’s a quick-playing run-and-gun style game. Then again, maybe it’s 40k Heroquest, which would be kind of awesome in it’s own right – but based on the play time I don’t think it will be.
Space Marine Adventures – Totally Not Deathwatch!
More ‘unique’ Marine Sculpts and (probably cheaper) Necrons? What’s not to like!?
