Space Marine Adventures sounds like what a family friendly Saturday morning cartoon about 40k would be called, I like that.

Looks like it comes with a velvet bag. Could be a blind token drawing mechanic ala warlord games.

A light sci to dungeon crawl in the same vein as space crusade sounds fun.

From that pic it looks like the necrons are card tokens.

yeah, I wonder if that is going to reflect in the price...

This week on Space marine adventures Chapter master Barney learns the benefits of friends, family and purging the enemies of mankind with nothing but a sharp piece of fruit.

I'm sure it'll be a budget price tag. These are aimed at indy stores as introductory games for newbies.

What's odd is that the general snaps from the toy fair show it with necron miniatures. Could be that they just had them out for show but I'd find it weird if GW made a game where only half the units in it were actual miniatures. Not ruling it out, but it'd be odd.

Blitz Bowl, bah!

They should have gone for the good old Street Bowl, smaller teams, narrower field than normal BB has.

This does use smaller teams. Pitch looks smaller but I'm not a BB aficionado so can't be sure on that. Never heard of Street Bowl. Was that a fan made thing?

Dungeon bowl, wasn't it?

Yep, they've been promoting it for a while. I'm not in love with the dice-pile mechanic they've chosen, but I'd play it if someone wanted to - love role-playing games and don't get to play them nearly enough.

Also, worth noting...the mechanic seems to be based on rolling numerous D6s with a 4+ needed, a 6+ providing a double "success". Tasks would require X successes depending on difficulty etc.

After seeing that I realized that some packs of dice from the Betrayal at Calth box would fit that almost perfectly; each provides two "scores", and one "critical score". They also sell for dirt cheap. I've got maybe 30-40 of them. While you could use normal D6's, a little more icons add some atmosphere.

Imperial Guard is playable so it's got my interest. Was worried this'd be all marines all time too.

I guess it's time to link the tales of The All-Guardsmen Party again: http://www.theallguardsmenparty.com/

I love that tale

In fact, our current 40K DM must have taken cues from this, as we've played a year long campaign getting our characters from measly teenage boys to full fledged Space Marines (through an ork invasion of our home world, to citadels besieged by chaos), until we were finally of sufficient rank and stature to start our adventure proper...

We basically played a year long introduction!
