Unpopular opinion: These freshly assembled, unpainted minis have an aesthetic of their own. You can see every detail clearly, without distraction. Of course, I will eventually paint this one too, but figures in the infamous grey never cease to amaze me in their own unique way. #Warhammer #SpaceHulk

Finished these three converted Thousand Sons Saturnine Terminators to add to my Horus Heresy force. In my head assault cannons are the archetypal terminator weapon, so I grabbed some off a Land Raider for this conversion.

For fans: The flamer ended his turn. The squad has 6 command points. The Marine spends 4 AP, plus another 3 CP to open the door. The flamer needs 2 CP for the final shot. If the Marine moves forward, he is still blocking the way. Moving backwards diagonally would require 2 CP, but he only has 1.

Round 2, Genestealers win by extremely narrow margin:
The Marine (center) has 8 action points. That’s enough to reach the target room and open the door. But he blocks the flamer’s line of fire from above. He lacks exactly 1 AP to move aside! In the next turn, both are overrun. #SpaceHulk #Warhammer

Very exciting: After a flanking attack by the Genestealers, all seemed lost. But the second flamer manages to turn the tide. The first one breaks through and destroys the target rooms with its last ammunition. The Genestealers' interception attempt comes one turn too late. #SpaceHulk #Warhammer

We didn't just rebalance the difficulty in BioMenace Remastered, we also made it possible to switch difficulty - you can start on hard and go down to normal later, for example. The playthrough will be marked as "mixed difficulty" on the leaderboards.

Some changes in BioMenace Remastered are very obvious, like Snake's skin color, but we also made many subtle enhancements. E.g. this floating platform which now has animated blinking lights (static in the original). And it only blinks while moving 😎

IndieDB is one of the few places where relatively small games like mine actually stand a chance of rising to the top. I am here, once again, to formally ask you to vote "Cyclopean: The Great Abyss" for Indie of the Year.

I don't have the original dead Space Marine from the third/fourth edition of #SpaceHulk, so I improvised one myself. Beside him are the remnants of his foes from his last battle. The artifact to be retrieved is not a goblet, but his shield instead.

Go big or go home. If the large #SpaceHulk maps don't fit the table, well… we'll just built a second one. 😁

On the fourth attempt, they finally succeeded; this time the dice were on the Space Marines' side. After a massive carnage, the flamer reached the target room and burned it out. "Your mission was a glorious victory." #SpaceHulk #Warhammer

The second attempt also fails. This time, the genestealers receive a large supply of reinforcements and overwhelm the flamer's escort. He takes out three genestealers with a single shot, but is then caught in the back and killed due to a lack of cover. Mission failure. #SpaceHulk #Warhammer

I am starting to fill in some of the content in the northern part of the Dreamlands. I will do another pass after all the cities and dungeons are done, but this is roughly what the game will look like. #CRPG #TurnBasedThursday #Lovecraft

Sunday, hobby time:
After a serious tactical error, the flamethrower is caught by a genestealer just before reaching the objective and killed in close combat. Mission failure, game over. #SpaceHulk #Warhammer
