Grotsmasha Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I know it's already been done, but I've always wanted to do a series of 40k chess sets.

Olis Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 40k Cluedo. Which one of the guests is a Chaos cultist? :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252613-which-board-game-would-you-give-a-40k-reskin/#findComment-3064764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vortex Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I love Arkham Horror and would've suggested it myself if you hadn't. I'd also like to see 40k Trivial Pursuit, or some take on the Game of Life (if anyone remembers that), only instead of going to college and getting married, life is short and brutal and simply whoever survives longest wins. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252613-which-board-game-would-you-give-a-40k-reskin/#findComment-3064775 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Ciaphas Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Hail! I would love to see Twilight Imperium given a re-boot. Imagine having the ability to crush entire Eldar Craftworlds, lay siege to Holy Terra, explore Necron Tomb Worlds and so on... Could be utterly fantastic!

Vodunius Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 No contest. Imperium just begs to be redone with Tau replacing Earth and the Imperium (1,000,000 worlds) replacing the Imperium (4,000 worlds). I actually wouldn't be surprised if the boardgame actually inspired the Tau (GW was the official UK distributor for GDW in the early 80s, even going so far as printing some things under license - so the game was likely known to the old hands) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252613-which-board-game-would-you-give-a-40k-reskin/#findComment-3070165 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 How about a 40k version of Monopoly? You could have Forgeworlds instead of Stations and the chance deck could have an Inquisitorial sanction card instead of Get out of Jail Free.

Watcher in the Dark Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Risk. And to be frank, I can't believe that no one has done a version with 40k in mind. From the Imperial point of view...I have to think that the High Lords command the Imperium's armies just like that too. And Arkham Horror gets runner up too. What a fantastic game (FFGs is THE board game company, nuff said), and the mechanics of the game could easily translate over to 40k.

Cyrox Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hungry Hungry sqiggoths?

Ordo Machinum Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Why not Scrabble? Call it Codicier! Connect 4? Call it Connect Chaos! Inquisitor & Heretic battle to align or prevent the four seals of Chaos from coming together! Rubik's Cube? Now, it's the Rubrik of Ahriman where you have to realign the chaos runes!

thade Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Alien the boardgame. Oh wait, it is called Space Hulk now. :) Actually, my first thought was Descent: Journey into Darkness...I like the game system better than that of Space Hulk by a mile, tho otherwise their presentation is rather similar. Also, multiplayer is way cooler.
