DEATHWING Battle Report - Games Workshop’s 1990 SPACE HULK Expansion 

Hi everyone! This post comes with an exciting announcement for you all. Here in Minisodes HQ I have been quietly plotting to dedicate more time and energy into the channel, giving you more Minisodes and finding more ways to share with you my love of the golden age of Warhammer. As of today, for the cost of a White Dwarf magazine circa 1997, you can access my new Patreon. I already have a podcast up for your listening pleasure, in which I (amongst other things) give you the inside scoop on the channel, future plans and a commentary on one of my favourite bits of 40k short fiction. This Patreon is very much inspired by this wonderful community and I can't wait to start engaging with patrons and hearing all about what you'd love to see from the channel (as well as having a good chinwag about all things 2nd Edition). Hope to see you over there. www.patreon.com/Minisodes

"What is your name, new brother marine?" "Barrels, sir!" "I am sure we will find a role for you"

'Come! Show me what passes for fury among your misbegotten kind!' And the crowd goes wiiiiiiiiiiild

You are the oldhammer equivalent's of Play on Tabletop. Keep them coming

Ezekiel is basically Doom Guy at this point - I love these retro game videos!

Please play the whole campaign! This was fantastic

Wow, what a great battle report! Both the actual battle was great with some surprising twists as well as being very well shot and edited.

Brother Barrels is doing the Emperor's work!

that clutch forcefield thrown right in front of the pursuing stealers was so satisfying!

It was a rare sight to see the Marines win back when we played it as kids. Good game and keep it WEIRD!

I love Gary Chalk's artwork on the tiles for Space Hulk. Thanks for another fun glimpse back in to the grim darkness of the future past.

that might have been the cleanest marine win I have ever seen in a game of space hulk

You still make the most engaging battle reports. Good fun.

This is everything my 12-year old self wanted when I drooled at an unaffordable Space Hulk box set at my local game store back in the early 90’s. Thank you.

That introduction was a glorious hit of early '90s nostalgia.

Brother Darius is a legend!

Absolutely amazing! Love seeing a Space Hulk battle report, and honestly one of the best ones I have seen yet (trust me I've watched them all). Had a great holiday myself getting to play through all the original missions, deathwing, and genestealer with my younger brother. Something we hadn't done for 20+ years. Hopefully you'll make more awesome SH battle reports!

Go Darius Go!

I really thought that last rush of stealers would be too much for Ezekiel, and he was about to go out like a lion dragged down by hyenas. His victory was a great reminder of how satisfying the uphill battle for the Terminators could be in first edition Space Hulk - outnumbered and out-clawed, but he kept his cool and played his wargear smartly to snatch the win.

This is my first video of yours that i've watched and Brother Darius killing those 3 Genestealers at 17:58 earned my subscription.

This channel is made with so much love and soul, that I could feel warm fuzzy nostalgia when opening another video. And I've played 40K only during 6-7 ed, for I'm too young to have witnessed OldHammer myself!

This was the coolest battle report I have ever seen of Space Hulk.

Lovely game and great editing! I've only ever really played second edition Space Hulk, so it was interesting to see the slight differences in how it plays. Certainly an interesting and well-tuned mission - I was certain towards the end that it was all up for the marines, but somehow they managed to push through to victory!

This channel is underappreciated

Greetings my Lord! I really enjoyed thus one. I played a lot of Space Hulk back in the day. I have a set of the original metal Terminators, and they and the old plastic Terminators still serve in my Space Marine armies. True veterans indeed! Thank you, all the best from Billi.

Thanks for that , was a great reminder of how tight the rules were in this game

The Emperor protects ! What an epic battle. Loved the atmosphere, the narrative and the action. Please run the complete Deathwing campaign...

Never seen the terminators ever win one of these, nice work!

What a game! I was on the edge of my seat. And that intro/outro is terrific, I love me some FMV.

These battle reports are so great! Reminds me of reading the ones in white dwarf as a kid

Awesome watch, despite playing 40K since 96, never played or watch a game of Space Hulk, need a rerelease now! Thank you

That’s the best Space Hulk battle report I’ve watched on RU-vid (and I’ve watched a good few!). Good work. I hope you do more.

That was extremely well made and... actually very cool. Loved nostaligic touch. Stayed and watched everything instead of cooking dinner :)

Wow I have no idea how this game works but I really enjoyed that. Fantastic presentation and storytelling!

More space hulk content please! You are delivering your batreps concisely and effectively & it really suits the clutchy nature of the game :)

This was amazing! Ive been playing 2nd ed space hulk this winter, what a great game

man there's something Iconic about the old pewter Terminators, I got one of those from a game shop as a kid, and still have it sitting around, and its small and kind of almost derpy looking but there's a charm to that era of Warhammer 40K

Loved this! The growing terror of the genestealers was amazing. And your video production is too notch!

That was excellent!!!! ... Original Space Hulk was so tough, Marines did very well here.

Excellent battle, Space Hulk is always worth waiting for.

Loved this game, thanks for doing the vid. I thought Deathwing rules were peak 1st ed Space Hulk - I felt like Genestealer added complexity without making the game more fun. Couple of quibbles - I think you should have given yourself 2 more CP as long as the Captain was alive? And I think the movement rules in 1st ed allow the marines to move diagonally, and let them fire at a wider front arc. I kept wishing the terminators would fire at more doors! Anyway, minor stuff - I hope you do more Space Hulk, of any edition. Love the miniatures as well!

Brilliant Batrep that! Old school space hulk looks so fun to play!

Just added that captain to my collection. Lovely model

Here we go!

This a great all time game. By the way, a Terminator captain entitles a +2 Command Points bonus for the marine player each turn is on the board. Awesome video.

Really enjoy these retro 40K minisodes!

Love the SpaceHulk content! Please do more 👍

That was a really great bat rep! Expansion seems to give marines much more options, from what I remember in the base game, they are one bad roll from being overwhelmed. That is a well earned sub.

What a fantastic battle rep! Genuinely the best the of the best

I used to watch all the Space Hulk games on Scorpion82's channel, and knowing how hard it can be to win for the Marines I gotta say this game was INCREDIBLE! Awesome bold strategy and some glorious runs of dice rolls for mighty Deathwing of Legion I. Love it brother keep up with the great content! Fave hobby channel on youtube!

Space Hulk really was that awesome. Very good video about a very good game.

I've never seen a man thrown so many sixes. Poor Tom!

So good! The blips seem genuinely terrifying as he moves them lol

Excellent ! What a nostalgic trip to the Space Hulk !

I have this!!! Owned it since first edition and loved it.

Easily earned a sub guys. Brilliant stuff! Spectacular models and committed storytelling!

Absolutely love it! Really like the way you create that amazing atmosphere. We want more!

Really enjoyed this - a very dramatic game for both sides, and the mini’s looked great!

Probably the best battle report I have seen, makes me want to try space hulk!

This was cool. Space hulk is such a thematically cool game.

Outstanding game! The tension was palpable, the whole thing felt cinematic. Loved it right up to the last moment. Great stuff

That was sooo good! The music and the old school models really hit me in the heart. Thanks for this, liked and subscribed!

This is excellently put together, great work! Hope to see more like this =)

Okay, this is good. Seriously. I have watched _several_ Space Hulk boardgame videos on RU-vid and this one was by _far_ the most enjoyable! Real suspense and everything! By the Emperor please keep them coming!

I played Space Hulk tactics and I swear Brother Lazzaro would STACK BODIES with his assault cannon. It was like that opening scene from Saving Private Ryan.

Love it from start to finish such a nail biter.❤

This was an awesome video! Hope we get to see more Space Hulk battle reports. Big edition one player myself so really appreciated this.

Please keep up the new uploads, really love your stuff!

Great video! Painted minis add so much to a game. You really could picture your Death Wing creeping down the corridors of the hulk. Also, I now really want to get hold of a copy of Space Hulk!

Le meilleur rapport de mission que j’ai vu ! C’est super bien filmé avec une jolie table! Les commentaires sont top et le montage vidéo parfait! Merci et hâte de voir les prochaines missions!

I enjoyed this so much! Thank you for sharing :) Cheers!

That you guys, that was really entertaining, wonderfully engaging to follow along and fantastic narration

So cool to see this old stuff that I wish I started there.

This was so entertaining ive never played space hulk but this made me want to give it a try. I just found your channel today and have watched almost all of your videos. Great stuff

I have lots of first edition space hulk models, but I've only played third edition. Still lots of fun!

What an amazing game! Thanks for sharing. Space Hulk blew right past me when it originally came out. I'm not surprised they go for so much online. That games is a blast!

Thank you for posting this excellent battle report

Brilliant episode, thanks for sharing it! Honestly if I had the captain with the dead nid from the Leviathan box I would use him to honor captain Ezekiel :D

The algorithm brought me hear, and I am glad it did. Simply a fantastic battle report, for a great game. Subscribed on the strength of this content, alone. I purchased all the first edition Space Hulk stuff on initial release, and had so much fun with it. Stupidly sold it all, years ago. However, I missed it so much, I ended up crafting a 15 mm version of the base game, using Khurasan Miniatures for the models, some 20 years ago. I used their marines, and their “Alien” aliens range for the miniatures, giving the game a decidedly “Aliens” feel. Still have it, and break it out every now and then for sh*ts and giggles. Damn. Now I want to craft all the expansions, as well… :) Cheers,

I really like how you narrated this. Simple, short, and thematic! Great job!

I wish my own Warhammer experiences were as good as this.

Incredible, the space marines won! Well, most of the time, the tyranids/genestealers win. Anyway, fun to watch, with this heavy dose of nostalgia...

Such a great game! Ezekiel went wild and Brother Darius too! Absolutely loved watching this and can’t wait to see what is up next!

wow! great game! excellet battle report. Thanks!

I enjoyed this and the paint jobs are great!

An absolutely brilliant Battle Report! Thank you!

I’m astonished to see the marines win, whenever I play the video game I’m clapped 6 ways to Sunday

The retro intro is kick ass!

I amalgamated 2 sets and used to play this with my mates, we included space marines and the old style 90's Dreadnoughts which were not allowed into the corridors, hours and hours of fun! BloodBowl, Dark Future, Talisman and Hero Quest where also worth a look, I'm sure there was one called Titan? The annoying thing is I would still have all of these in near mint condition had our garage not flooded.

your content always makes my day. Such a good storytelling and gameplay - felt like I was back being a kid on the floor of my bedroom

Simply put this is the best thing I’ve seen in a long while.

the first of the genestealers to cross the hallway ought to step diagonally into the assault cannon marine's corridor. If it lives, it can stay there and the other two can run behind it, out of LOS

That was a cracking play through. I really should get my set on the table.

Well that was brilliant. Brutal.

Watching this as a dark angels player praying for a deathwing victory

Wonderful video and presentation! One day I hope that I can recreate this game with my son as we're both obsessed with the idea of Space Hulk.

Absolutely brilliant report

Top work Ed!! Love the channel and your contributions to Tabletop Tactics so far!

great video man! love these old school gameplay videos \o/

Such a great game! Curse those dice! Barrels is truly the Emperor's chosen. Keep those videos coming!
