Genestealer Cult Forces in Space Hulk

December 2017·pp. 106–108

THE SHORT VERSION

Cultists add shooting, psychic support and several kinds of hybrid to Space Hulk while retaining its streamlined action system. Blip values become recruitment points, simplified weapon categories avoid importing the full complexity of Warhammer 40,000 and special rules distinguish leaders, shield interactions, heavy-weapon failures and the resilience of Aberrants.

Your Free Game Cards

The magazine introduces its Christmas cards for three games: an alternative-art Healing Potion for Shadespire, a festive Blood Bowl Special Play card and twelve additions to Shadows over Hammerhal. The latter mix skills, treasures and campaign support, with instructions later in the issue distinguishing cards shuffled into decks from special rewards earned during adventures.

Elf Balls: Soulstone Ball

This optional ball lets Elven Union players draw on the abilities of teammates already removed from play. A carrier can temporarily borrow an eligible skill from the Dead and Injured box, or gain an unsettling presence when no such teammate is available, turning casualties into an unusual tactical resource without permanently changing the player.

Mercenaries

Mercenaries provide temporary help rather than becoming permanent, fully developing heroes. They cannot use destiny dice or gain normal advances, leave on the next return to the surface and generally retain their own earnings, with specific exceptions for campaign artefacts and excess gold keeping important rewards in the party’s hands.
