Silent Death Night Brood 2.0 Call for Playtesters!

[BlackWidowPilot]

After far too long we have some real news here at Metal Express! Available now for downloading are the proposed (Beta) revised rules and ship displays for the alien Night Brood ships for Silent Death: The Next Millennium!

That's right, loyal fans of this classic space fighter board game for miniatures, at long last, thanks to the generous time and talents of long time Silent Death fan and playtester Adam Peszel, we have overcome a major production hurdle and can now offer up our first new ship displays in far too many years!

Further, we have ship display sheets for *ALL* of the Night Brood ship miniatures available, including those six ship minis that never previously had a ship display of any sort! That's right, there's now a ship display for the Skree, the Bright Thorn, the Scarab, the Eel, and massive gunboat crunching Monarch, and the insidious Worm Pod! There's even a set of fast playing Boarding Action rules to enable the Worm Pods to do their vile job of neutralizing Terran escort vessels by delivering a dozen Blood Worms into their hulls, unleashing these horrific Brood bio-beasts to hunt down and rend their hapless crew members into cat food! 

This is a major overhaul of the Night Brood, a monumentally powerful Deus Ex Machina alien faction that fans of Silent Death can attest were clearly not playtested thoroughly enough in their original form, and they grossly imbalanced the game accordingly. This is the first serious step in the process of bringing the Night Brood down to earth as it were, and we're asking fans of Silent Death to step up, download the PDF file, and provide us with some playtesting feedback on the Metal Express Forum.

The new Night Brood rules and ship display sheets can be found on the Metal Express home page here:

So grab your flight helmets people! It's time to kick the tires and light those fires and take on the Night Brood in all their weird and vicious alien glory! We want YOU to join the fight to relight the fire of this classic space fighter board game!

Yes! Do so, and please be so kind as to join our Metal Express forum and post your feedback! So far the response has been very encouraging, and we're garnering feedback from at least two groups already, but the more the merrier to help us get the kinks out of our beloved icky bugs!

So grab your flight helmet, kick the tires and light those fires, and always watch yer six, 'cause if you don't, I can guarantee you that some Grub fighter Scot will be watching you, just preening his mandibles at the very idea of yet another "noisy" Soft One just asking to be blown into radioactive goo!
