Space Hulk is here!



Due to a stroke of luck, I was able to net myself a box early. Good thing too, since the local shop only had one more box and I am sure that would have disappeared by next week, when I was planning to purchase it. Barely able to curb my enthusiasm, I dove in.



This box was heavy! I handed it to my wife, and we debated whether it was heavier than our daughter was when she was born. I thought it might be about the same as she weighed now, but not as heavy as she was when she was born (9 lbs 6 oz). We put it on the scale, and it came out to weigh 8 pounds and 8 ounces! Wow! I'm not sure what 3.6 kg converts to on the scale, but it is entirely possible some settling may have occurred. I popped it open and took a snap of the sprues before I went crazy assembling.



Here's the results of the first bout of assembling... just look at all those terminators! Those alone are worth the value of the box set. I especially love the Librarian.



And finally, the Genestealers that will double as the basis of my Tyranid army. From pictures I saw on the net, I was worried that I would have trouble distinguishing the Broodlord from the regular 'stealers, but in person there is no trouble. He is considerably larger than the rest, and has a pretty menacing pose.

Well, the Mrs. and I plan to try out our first game tonight, I'll post results for all to see afterward.
