Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
Deathwatch Overkill
The miniatures are great. The name is kinda dumb.
I've always loved the genestealer cults. And this would go nicely with Space Hulk. Been very curious about these GW board games. I'm sure they're not great but they may be good enough.

Got six of them primed
Looks like there might be some replayabilty since most missions the Marine player has to pick and choose out of the 11 which marines to take and they do vary widely in abilities. On the genestealer side more luck of the draw since the force composition is determined by how the broodmind deck is constructed and what cards are drawn.

The genestealer patriarch, primus, and magus also have two hit points but don't get an option to heal. All other 'stealers have one hit point but can recycle as endless hordes.

Space Hulk is also all about the one hit-one kill.

The topic of genestealer cults came up during a discussion of a future Necromunda gang and the cultists models in this game look incredible.

It's really simple and fast. As mentioned above, there isn't any chipping HPs. Get hit twice, and an SM goes down. Shit gets bad quick but it is more balanced and only a little more complex than Lost Patrol. There are three combat ranges and that kind of determines what wargear your SM/GSC is using for the attack, and there's a lot of different stuff. There are also jump packs, an assault bike and a special ability for each SM.
The GSC player has secret spawn cards that double as event/buffs, so their game is very different. One of the smart things they did was to give SMs two attacks in the round, which balances out the huge number of models the GSC tends to have on the board.
Production is stupendous, of course. The DWSMs are amazing, each one is totally unique and has a distinct character look and chapter-specific detail. I think these are like$25 figures individually. The cultists come in several varieties and the Primarch is awesome.
Yeah. It's expensive, but it's REALLY fun and you get a TON of models. I think any old school GW fan would be impressed with it.
