Warhammer 40K Strategy Turn-Based Sci-fi +
Currently £18.99 on Steam, but has been much cheaper than that in the past (though I don't think the standalone game has been this cheap before).
No idea if the game's any good, personally - it's in my steam library, but it's one of the 400 or so games that I've not yet had a chance to try. Most of you know how that is... ;)
I enjoyed the ZX Spectrum version, back in the day, but that's pretty irrelevant!
The blurb:
WE ARE THE VANGUARD OF HONOUR. THE CUTTING EDGE OF THE BLOOD ANGELS. WE BRING DEATH."
The legendary Space Hulk returns to Windows PC and Mac in this epic turn based strategy game. Set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, an intriguing story of legendary battles and heroic actions unfolds. Play as a small squad of fearless Space Marine Terminators who attempt to reclaim their honor by mounting an assault on a derelict space hulk infested by hordes of vicious tyranid Genestealers.
Take control of the Adeptus Astartes of the Blood Angel chapter and guide them towards glory, while battling fierce Xenos and uncovering ancient relics in the infested confines of the massive Space Hulk named “Sin of Damnation”.
The game is a 3D digital turn based strategy game that recreates the classic claustrophobic board game experience in both singleplayer and multiplayer.
Key Features:
The first Space Hulk computer game in 17 years! Available on multiple platforms. Set in the hugely popular Warhammer 40,000 universe! Official license of the legendary boardgame from Games Workshop.
Turn-based tactical strategy game! Based on the popular and iconic board game mechanics.
Blood Angel Terminators! Fight the ferocious Genestealers with heroes of the mighty Blood Angels.
Fearsome Genestealers with challenging AI! Meet unforgiving hordes of Genestealers! Thematic 3D environment! Experience the dark labyrinth of a Space Hulk as never before.. Single player campaign based on the "Sin of Damnation" space hulk! Take on the Sin of Damnation campaign, which includes 3 brand new prequel missions and the 12 missions from the classic board game.
Multiplayer head-to-head recreating the board game experience against a friend! Get in the hot seat and battle it out with a friend.

This'll do you if you're looking for a computerised version of the board game, because that's what it is, albeit with pretty poor production values. Great price if that's what you want. If you're looking for anything else you'll likely be disappointed; the game isn't good enough to be attractive to anyone who doesn't have a general idea of what they're doing from the start.

Don't expect cutting edge graphics but the strategic nature of the game is excellent with all the frustrations of the orginal board game (yes that beastly thunder hammer / lighting claw guy did just die to the first genestealer etc...)
Great price. I have both this and Ascension and prefer Ascension. I used to play the board game. My mate had a full set of figures he painted. You would be lucky to get the board game for £60, pre-owned, nowadays.

Been playing this game this morning, great fun! I think you really need to have played the board game (or similar board games) before though to really get what it's all about. Thanks for posting! :smiley:
