Good find.

It reads to me similar to that of the baording actions in Badab made into a full expansion. Ill read the rules through when I get chance, but sounds fun

It does seem cheap though considering its discription implies that its 60cm by 60cm of 3rd terrain ? I say cheap , I mean cheap by a GW standard

Its a 2x2 board piece effectivly, and its £98 compared to the £70 of the existing forgeworld RoB board piece of the same size.

Might have to get one when they get pictures for it. Might work well for Necromunda games as well, and at 1x1 sections its easy to transport

I've read the rules, It does just sound like the boarding actions expanded into there own mode. I know the rules for boarding games was the only reaosn I was tempted by Badab. I like that close range nitty fighting.

Great find! This is very interesting. I would definitely be up for this. I'm thinking Space Hulk as well as Necromunda.

I think the sample Zone Mortalis Layouts should give us an idea of what to expect from the 4 tiles. I shouldn't think it'd be too difficult to create something similar, though I'm sure less detailed, to the FW pieces. Less detailed and without the reasonably hefty pricetag

Why FW, why do you tempt me so?! The rules do look like fun, would make for some fun small point games, maybe introductory stuff for felllow gamers just starting out!:cool:

I wonder if this will be released as part of the "celebration" weekend?

Might be a bit expensive for the tiles if you want to make a bigger board, but I'm sure it will work just as well using the space hulk bits and pieces

Hmm 4x 1' by 1' sections to make a board... and it involves boarding actions on a spaceship or fortress... sounds like the old Space Crusade game to me. Which would be pretty awesome. Always loved that game.

That is expensive, I will not be getting it. So much money for so little bit that we can make for cheaper, if we put our minds to it.

If I had money (damn funemployment) I'd probably pick up a bunch of the forgeworld stuff for my space hulk.
