And I stopped making models when I was 11 or 12, even when I had a brief foray into Warhammer Underworlds I assembled two packs slowly (and got very bored) then palmed the others off to one of my gaming mates who does Warhammer normally, so that would stop me cold anyway.

We knew the minis had to be removed from the sprues and assembled, and she has done some assembly for Space Hulk (though she never finished the painting process, and I've never actually played the game ...), but this does sound somewhat daunting. She did a good job with the low-detail Mansions of Madness base game minis, so I'm really only concerned about her frustration level on what's supposed to be a fun activity.
These minis are more fiddly than SPACE HULK. I’m almost done with the Marines. Fuck the aliens, I’ll just use tokens I’m so frustrated. This is gonna piss off a lot of people.

If you use tokens, you can use screen shots of the character's faces on the tokens. Here, this will get you started:

Well done everyone! I'll just pull down my shelf toad SPACE HULK 3rd Edition and rekindle my fondness for it.
MB & Co. - this is a bit of a deep dive, but how would the ol' MB/GW joint "Space Crusade" hold up in 2020?

I played it last year and it was reasonable fun still but for these times probably lacking missions. I think if GW are in on it the price of the game, for what you get, because of their minis may limit its uptake. I think they would need to be allowed to put it out with more normal minis to keep the price down a bit.drewcula wrote: ...

The Space Marine Adventure games are the real descendants of Space Crusade- but modernized and streamlined a bit with son nods to current trends. They are really fun, not of them, and capture some of the same conceptual ground as an Aliens game should.

- some guy doesn’t know who this “joker” is
- I played the game wrong. (Note- I did not)
- Some other people liked it so what does this guy know
- I’m talking out of “both sides of my ass” when I state that the game succeeds as fan service but fails to deliver the gameplay I want from an Aliens game
- I rated the game a 2 on a 10 point scale (although we have a 5 point scale)- therefore, lower than Tic Tac Toe
- OMG you have to glue the minis
- numerous posts discussing the nuances of the BGG rating system
OMG that fucking site...
