jimbo13 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Hey folks, Like the title says, does anyone use the space hulk tiles for 40k/30k? If so how do you adapt the rules on the boards and missions as well? Thanks guys. -Jimbo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318502-space-hulk-tiles-for-40k30k/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_F_H Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I think I've heard of folks using them for zone mortalis. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318502-space-hulk-tiles-for-40k30k/#findComment-4283593 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slips Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Yep. Played 2+ Games on my own Space Hulk tiles and it works pretty great. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318502-space-hulk-tiles-for-40k30k/#findComment-4283623 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo13 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 What point levels do you play at? Also pointers on ideal levels? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318502-space-hulk-tiles-for-40k30k/#findComment-4283638 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 1.5k is the upper limit we played at since it was a bunch of tight corridors on a 4x4 table. Especially with how deployment works in ZM I wouldnt go any higher.

GodEmperorOfMankind Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 A couple of the frater have used the space hulk sections ( two sets put together if I remember) and did a few batreps, seemed to work well. Not sure how well it'd work now with 32mm base sizes for everyone, but you could say that about the zm tiles themselves Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318502-space-hulk-tiles-for-40k30k/#findComment-4283652 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 ZM tiles are narrow, yes. But we allow for 2 Marines to stand side by side whether or not their bases spill over the tiles. Terminators are Space Hulk Style: One in front of the other. Dreads are, obviously one in front of the other.

Atia Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 ZM works with 32mm bases pretty well ^.^ Edit: Also, i've played a ZM game using SH tiles - lets say it was doable, but i ordered my real FW ZM after that game xD Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318502-space-hulk-tiles-for-40k30k/#findComment-4283675 Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathspectersgt7 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I use Space hulk tiles also. You will enjoy. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318502-space-hulk-tiles-for-40k30k/#findComment-4283692 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 What Space Hulk Tiles lack in space vs FW Tiles it makes up for in the pure brutality such confined spaces create. Its nigh-impossible to spread out for Templates in these types of corridors vs FW Tiles who still have a fair bit of leeway in being able to mitigate them. It also makes combat a fair bit harder since with Terminator Heavy Armies, since they can only go through the board/map in a Single File, you'll be fighting 1-2 at most at any given time if you position yourself properly whereas power armored bodies will be able to get in 2-4 depending.

Atia Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Also will just dropp this here - its not mine, but from a dude on warseer (http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?218330-Nedius-3D-Space-Hulk-Anphelion-Base), and just an example for what awesome stuff you can do with a bit scratch building - maybe you could make a "broader/true scale" SH board which fits both for ZM and SH games with 40mm bases? http://www.freewebs.com/nedius/photos/3D-Space-hulk-Board/Space%20Hulk%2033.JPG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318502-space-hulk-tiles-for-40k30k/#findComment-4283785 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastor Krieg Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I'm just going to quote myself: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316353-help-with-zone-mortalis-with-alternate-tiles/?do=findComment&comment=4237972 Played today, board looked like on the pic below. We've agreed that we don't mind bases spilling over "into the black", which effectively allows for two 25mm or 32mm bases side by side. We've also agreed to use the doors in the "Accessible" mode and that the doors can be used as makeshift barricades, where the controlling unit opens them just a bits, sticks weapons through the slit and fires. That's be the "4+ save, GtG give +2" case. All the space gave 6+ because of the nature of the hulk, hiding partially behind a wall gave 5+ save. It all worked really nicely. We've also put down some "barricades" using some markers and the door stand bits. The "Aquila" markers could also be used this way. http://i.imgur.com/n7nDT9M.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318502-space-hulk-tiles-for-40k30k/#findComment-4283864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastor Krieg Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Another good idea is to use the Battle for Calth and Assassinorum plates, as well, for variety. They do not fit perfectly, but are great "open areas" where you need them.

jimbo13 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Kastor- good idea. Will definitely give this a whirl at some point. Thanks everyone for the ideas.

the jeske Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Doesn't it make non meq armies almost unplayable and removes alll the counters for invisideathstars from the game as neither WK nor other GMC fit on to a SH board ? Seems to be very unfun to play. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318502-space-hulk-tiles-for-40k30k/#findComment-4284892 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't deep striking a bit difficult on this board? Just curious.
