One montage of Marines moving through sweaty, damp tunnels later...
...Sarge we've got movement
Focus on the mission, Marines. Let's get to those colonists
Outstanding CPs!
But Marines are cautious
Marines blast open doors and go on overwatch
We got contact, Front!
Its a bug swarm, Sarge
Braaaap!, between pulse rifle and smart-gun fire the bugs are brought down
Meanwhile, out of sight more bugs infiltrate the area
And more...
These colonists are too far gone, burn this place down
They're all around us Man!
Whoosh!, Burn Suckas!
Uh oh...
Bugs pour out of a side tunnel and CHOMP, Marines down
They got Phil and Mark man, those filthy bugs gotta go down!
more CPs, time to go big or go home
Aaargh, facehuggers spawn from un-burnt eggs
More bugs swarm forwards
Stay Frosty, Marines.
Burn baby, Burn
Almost, facehuggers makes it through the flames
Marines fall back in good order
Watch your arcs, Marines
Yay! CPs
Lt. Kinsey finally makes the call. Fall back on point Zeta for pick-up
Its a long drive
But a longer walk in bug-infested terrain
Meanwhile those facehuggers that survived the flames attack
Bringing down a Marine
Braaaap, Click. Oh Noes, a jam
CHOMP, ex-Marine and CHOMP, another ex-Marine
Marines are in a tight spot here
And finally I remember where my on-fire markers are
Only a few Marines surviving so far
The APC uncovers a big sneak around
Bugs charge towards the APC
Time for desperate measures. the flamer Marine burns the last remaining quarter of the main room (using old SH rules I divided the room into quarters for flamer templates)
APC bounces more bugs
Under the cover of flames the Marines get out of Dodge
Nearly, the bug moves max APs leaving none left for combat. The bugs suffer in reinforcements, for the last couple of turns they have only had chits for 1's
Bugs swarm to get at the Marines
Steady...
....Step back, and...
Braaap! Splat!
Flamer Marines runs for it
APC KO's bugs swarming over it
Flamer blocks the corridor
Noooooooooo! One bug got through
Bugs lurk rather then face plasma cannons
Lt. Kinsey dashes out to open the door for the Marines
So close...
So very close
CHOMP, the flamer Marine goes down
Bugs race to assault the exposed officer
Run, Man, Run!
Bugs mass behind the wall of flame
Missed a photo, the Lt., Sarge and a Marine make it back to the APC, the Smart-gunner goes on overwatch to cover them
Bug...
...Stain
Plasma cannons mop up behind
Game over, Man, Game Over!
The survivors: Rifle Marine, Sarge and a Smart-gunner
Wow, this was a quick and deadly game, Space Hulk is a fun bug-hunt rule set.
Bonus! The result from this wasn't too far from the film. Hicks, Hudson and Vasquez survive. I also had three plus the APC crew. Hmmm, perhaps the Medlab should be the next game...
