Space Hulk: Death Angel Round 5

When you're playing solo like I am, coordinating actions into awesome combos is very easy. However, when you're playing with others, it gets a bit more difficult because marine actions are chosen in secret. I've not played this game with anyone else so I'm not quite sure if discussion is allowed in-between rounds.

Phase 1: Choose Actions

  • Blue - Intimidation (Support) - 11
  • Yellow - Heroic Charge  (Attack) - 18
  • Black - Litany of Hate (Move+Activate) - 7B

Phase 2: Resolve Actions

1. Black - Litany of Hate (Move+Activate) - 7B
  • Metraen will change facings and face right.
  • "After resolving this card's actions, change the facing of up to 2 Space Marines (belonging to any combat team or teams) in the formation." Claudio will change facings and face to the right so he will no longer be flanked.

2. Blue - Intimidation (Support) - 11

  • Deino will move up from 5 to 4, face the left, and Activate the Door, bringing the total number of Support Tokens on it to 2.
  • "After resolving this card's actions, you may roll a die. Shuffle that many Genestealer cards (of your choice) engaged with your Space Marines into the smallest blip pile."
All 3 Genestealers from swarm L3 are removed from the swarm and put into the right Blip Pile.
 3.  Yellow - Heroic Charge  (Attack) - 18
  • Goriel attacks swarm R2.
Cue the slide trombone.

  • "Instead of attacking with Brother Claudio, you may slay up to 3 Genestealers within 1 range of him (ignoring facing). Then roll a die. If you roll a 0, Brother Claudio is slain." I remove 3 Genestealers from swarm R2 and then I roll the die and hope for the best.
Sigh of relief.

Phase 3: Genestealers Attack
  • Swarm R2 (Strength 1) attacks Claudio

Another sigh of relief.
Phase 4: Event Phase

Well balls.

This brings the blip piles back to what they were when we traveled to this location. That really sucks.

  1. The Door gets a Minor Spawn and a swarm of 1 appears at L3.
  2. There's no terrain card that matches the 3 orange bars so I ignore that one..
  3. The swarm at L3 has a tail symbol on its card, and the curved arrow signifies that the swarm flanks the Space Marine it is engaged with.
