The Game Board

The game takes place on a board representing a small section of a gigantic space hulk – a huge derelict space vessel. Games are played as missions, recreating the Terminators attempts at eradicating Genestealer threats to Human worlds.

There have been many such missions and campaigns created in remembrance of the bravery and honour undertaken by the Marines sent in to secure the integrity of the space regions held by Humanity.

The game board is made of small modular sections, representing corridors and rooms that can be fitted together to form almost infinite number of different layouts. Custom board pieces can be used to expand on the available selection.
