Space Hulk (Second Edition)

Players command squads of armored Space Marines clearing derelict, alien-infested starships of fast, lethal Genestealers. Gameplay uses action points and custom dice to resolve movement, shooting, close combat and weapon malfunctions, with marines fielding a limited number of figures against swarming foes. Scenarios present specific mission objectives and victory conditions; players must complete tasks or risk squad losses. This edition removes the real-time sand-timer mechanic from earlier versions, adjusts command and activation rules, and adds mission content and dedicated combat dice to streamline resolutions.
