There are all sorts of different ways to experience the vastness and violence inherent in the grim darkness of the far future, from games of Kill Team and Combat Patrol to massive games of Warhammer 40,000. New players can now dip their toes into this dizzying universe with an exciting new board game, exclusive to Target stores in the USA.
Space Marine Adventures: Tyranid Attack! is a fast-paced game for one to four players which pits a squad of Space Marines against a horde of ferocious Tyranids that have infested a derelict space hulk.
You’ll tackle each level of the space hulk in turn, taking on ever-increasing odds with your friends and teaming up to tackle an epic campaign. This requires you to triumph against all three levels in one marathon game that will test your skills to the limit as you battle waves of enemies before facing off against the Tyranid Prime.
The game comes with five push-fit Space Marine miniatures in variously coloured plastic: Sergeant Maximus of the Ultramarines, Brother Raphael of the Blood Angels, Brother Vorne of the Iron Hands, Brother Adrix of the Salamanders, and Brother Lukas of the Space Wolves. The box also comes with a card for you to use Lieutenant Titus if you already have him from the Space Marine Board Game.
Also included are three double-sided game boards representing the maze of corridors in the space hulk, plus boarding vessel tiles, counters for bulkheads, objectives, and Tyranid creatures, alongside all the cards and dice you need to play the game.
This game is currently only available at branches of Target in the USA, but you’ll be able to purchase it in other territories later in the year – keep an eye on Warhammer Community for more news.
