- Ready the assault cannon, check your promethium tank, and sanctify your wargear - IT'S BOARDING TIME! In the lethal confines of a derelict Space Hulk, Terminators from the Dark Angels Chapter do battle with the terrifying Genestealers!
Join Tom and me as we play the final mission (Mission Six: Unknown Lifeforms) from Games Workshop's 1990 Space Hulk supplement, ‘Deathwing’.
Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio
Hi everyone! This post comes with an exciting announcement for you all. Here in Minisodes HQ I have been quietly plotting to dedicate more time and energy into the channel, giving you more Minisodes and finding more ways to share with you my love of the golden age of Warhammer.
As of today, for the cost of a White Dwarf magazine circa 1997, you can access my new Patreon. I already have a podcast up for your listening pleasure, in which I (amongst other things) give you the inside scoop on the channel, future plans and a commentary on one of my favourite bits of 40k short fiction.
This Patreon is very much inspired by this wonderful community and I can't wait to start engaging with patrons and hearing all about what you'd love to see from the channel (as well as having a good chinwag about all things 2nd Edition). Hope to see you over there.

"What is your name, new brother marine?"
"Barrels, sir!"
"I am sure we will find a role for you"
'Come! Show me what passes for fury among your misbegotten kind!'
And the crowd goes wiiiiiiiiiiild
Ezekiel is basically Doom Guy at this point - I love these retro game videos!
Haha! Yes. I was listening to the soundtrack on the commute to work the other day as it happens...Ezekiel is metal as hell!
@@edpaintsminis it's a great hype soundtrack!
Malum Caedo vibrates distantly.
Hahaha! Uh oh!
Ezekiel would eat Doom Guy’s brains for breakfast
Please play the whole campaign! This was fantastic
Seconded!
You are the oldhammer equivalent's of Play on Tabletop. Keep them coming
*Please* do, these are brilliant
that might have been the cleanest marine win I have ever seen in a game of space hulk
All i want is for GW to publish a new edition of Space Hulk. We have new sculpts! Hell, at this point I'd take a reprint of the current edition. It's such a shame it's OOP.
Brother Barrels is doing the Emperor's work!
He loves his work.
It was a rare sight to see the Marines win back when we played it as kids. Good game and keep it WEIRD!
I do my best.
that clutch forcefield thrown right in front of the pursuing stealers was so satisfying!
Wow, what a great battle report! Both the actual battle was great with some surprising twists as well as being very well shot and edited.
Really appreciated! Honestly I couldn't have hoped for a better outcome - it's always a bit of a concern that you commit to filming and editing a game that doesn't deliver in the end. Some lovely story beats emerged out of this and that's why I love Space Hulk! Peak GW
I really thought that last rush of stealers would be too much for Ezekiel, and he was about to go out like a lion dragged down by hyenas. His victory was a great reminder of how satisfying the uphill battle for the Terminators could be in first edition Space Hulk - outnumbered and out-clawed, but he kept his cool and played his wargear smartly to snatch the win.
He trusted in his wargear. From such games 28mm miniatures become heroes.
I love Gary Chalk's artwork on the tiles for Space Hulk.
Thanks for another fun glimpse back in to the grim darkness of the future past.
I considered using the 2nd or latest edition tiles for all of three seconds. The Grim Darkness of the Future Past shall live on. :)
i left my 1st ed spacehulk, deathwing and the other one back in the UK@@edpaintsminis , so only have 3rd ed. its just not the same. The Grim Darkness of the Future Past is just the peak, and its been sliding down into normality ever since.
You still make the most engaging battle reports. Good fun.
Space hulk bat reps, a glorious thing to witness
This is everything my 12-year old self wanted when I drooled at an unaffordable Space Hulk box set at my local game store back in the early 90’s. Thank you.
30 years later and it’s still unaffordable 😂
That introduction was a glorious hit of early '90s nostalgia.
That’s the best Space Hulk battle report I’ve watched on TH-cam (and I’ve watched a good few!). Good work. I hope you do more.
Thanks so much! It was quite a bit of work - 40k batrep is likely to be the next one!
Brother Darius is a legend!
I hear that he is actually two space marines in a single suit of armour. 💪
Le meilleur rapport de mission que j’ai vu ! C’est super bien filmé avec une jolie table! Les commentaires sont top et le montage vidéo parfait! Merci et hâte de voir les prochaines missions!
That was easily the best battle report I’ve ever seen! The image of the genestealer swarm in turn 9. Wow!
Ezekiel absolutely malleting them there!
The Emperor protects ! What an epic battle. Loved the atmosphere, the narrative and the action. Please run the complete Deathwing campaign...
That would be quite an undertaking!
Absolutely amazing! Love seeing a Space Hulk battle report, and honestly one of the best ones I have seen yet (trust me I've watched them all). Had a great holiday myself getting to play through all the original missions, deathwing, and genestealer with my younger brother. Something we hadn't done for 20+ years. Hopefully you'll make more awesome SH battle reports!
I thought that the Marines were doomed halfway through. 😱
Thanks so much! I completed almost every scenario and campaign I could get my hands on with Tom a few years back. Some of the most wholesome and memorable gaming I can remember.
@@edpaintsminisThat's awesome! I'm looking forward to the next time I see my brother (likely December) so we can work our way through the SH campaigns book and the White Dwarf published ones too. Really hope you make more battle reports because you're excellent at them for Space Hulk!
Thanks for that , was a great reminder of how tight the rules were in this game
This was the coolest battle report I have ever seen of Space Hulk.
Thank you so much - Not the most crowded of markets, but super pleased you think so!
This channel is underappreciated
Excellent battle, Space Hulk is always worth waiting for.
Man, what an incredible game. Awesome announcer work, I could honestly watch these as episodes of a greater show.
What a game! I was on the edge of my seat. And that intro/outro is terrific, I love me some FMV.
Thanks so much - I owe it to White Bat Audio and the wonderful FMV and live action stuff from Gamesworkshop's days of yore.
Greetings my Lord! I really enjoyed thus one. I played a lot of Space Hulk back in the day. I have a set of the original metal Terminators, and they and the old plastic Terminators still serve in my Space Marine armies. True veterans indeed! Thank you, all the best from Billi.
Cheers Billi! Glad you enjoyed it! You're very fortunate to have those classic metals - beautiful sculpts.
Awesome watch, despite playing 40K since 96, never played or watch a game of Space Hulk, need a rerelease now! Thank you
Lovely game and great editing! I've only ever really played second edition Space Hulk, so it was interesting to see the slight differences in how it plays. Certainly an interesting and well-tuned mission - I was certain towards the end that it was all up for the marines, but somehow they managed to push through to victory!
Thank you so much. What I appreciate about 1st edition is that it applies cool RPGesque elements to an asymmetrical puzzle foundation. It's a super cool mission. The Captain, TWO heavy weapons and forcefield generator give the marines all the tools they need to get the job done. This would be insane with a regular squad i think!
This was amazing! Ive been playing 2nd ed space hulk this winter, what a great game
Simply put this is the best thing I’ve seen in a long while.
Cheers Rob!
Just added that captain to my collection. Lovely model
One of the first models I ever had - so evocative.
This was cool. Space hulk is such a thematically cool game.
Go Darius Go!
Really enjoy these retro 40K minisodes!
That was sooo good! The music and the old school models really hit me in the heart.
Thanks for this, liked and subscribed!
Thanks so much and welcome to the channel! Glad you found it!
I used to watch all the Space Hulk games on Scorpion82's channel, and knowing how hard it can be to win for the Marines I gotta say this game was INCREDIBLE! Awesome bold strategy and some glorious runs of dice rolls for mighty Deathwing of Legion I. Love it brother keep up with the great content! Fave hobby channel on youtube!
YES! Great to hear from you fellas. This was indeed a seriously clutch game and I could not have hoped for a more tense demonstration of one of my all time favourite tabletop gamres. Playing conservatively will inevitably lead to getting nowhere I find - gotta capitalise on the when the Genestealers are depleted or out of position. Thanks for you kind comment - means a huge amount! Looking forward to your next pod :)
Thank you brother!!!! @@edpaintsminis
So good! The blips seem genuinely terrifying as he moves them lol
Cheers sandman! It was lots of fun to film. Loving your content and so awesome to see your channel go from strength to strength!
Space Hulk really was that awesome. Very good video about a very good game.
Probably the best battle report I have seen, makes me want to try space hulk!
Recommended. Such a good game.
More space hulk content please! You are delivering your batreps concisely and effectively & it really suits the clutchy nature of the game :)
Here we go!
Thank you for posting this excellent battle report
Really enjoyed this - a very dramatic game for both sides, and the mini’s looked great!
amazing battle report yet again!
I wish my own Warhammer experiences were as good as this.
Make it so!
Loved this game, thanks for doing the vid. I thought Deathwing rules were peak 1st ed Space Hulk - I felt like Genestealer added complexity without making the game more fun.
Couple of quibbles - I think you should have given yourself 2 more CP as long as the Captain was alive? And I think the movement rules in 1st ed allow the marines to move diagonally, and let them fire at a wider front arc. I kept wishing the terminators would fire at more doors!
Anyway, minor stuff - I hope you do more Space Hulk, of any edition. Love the miniatures as well!
Thanks so much for the comment and I agree with you on the 1st ed rules. Good shout on the Command Points! Ezekiel is augmented with so many rules I think I let that one slip.
Veteran tip: if the first stealer survives overwatch and the following stealers have enough APs to get in cover or attack someone else, then you stop moving. You block LOS and the others pass without a chance of overwatch. The marine will still have to deal with this stealer with his own APs but the others are safe.
That's extremely crafty! I like it!
absolutely wonderful video, i find myself rewatching these over and over
Outstanding game! The tension was palpable, the whole thing felt cinematic. Loved it right up to the last moment. Great stuff
An absolutely brilliant Battle Report! Thank you!
My pleasure - thanks so much! and THANK YOU!
Absolutely brilliant report
Never seen the terminators ever win one of these, nice work!
new terminators are OP
Yeah. Space Hulk never really took off at my store due to too many bleak outcomes. Sure you can blame the dice. But players at my FLGS just got discouraged early. A shame really.
Thanks for the spoiler my guy...
@@don_bernacz Maybe instead of doomscrolling you should watch the video instead
@@TheKsalad I'm not doomscrolling, you're the top comment, and on mobile it just shows your comment. I accept your apology
wow! great game! excellet battle report. Thanks!
Awesome... brought me back to playing this!
Great to hear - it still holds up!
I really like how you narrated this. Simple, short, and thematic! Great job!
Thank god. I thought you stopped the channel
I have this!!! Owned it since first edition and loved it.
Please keep up the new uploads, really love your stuff!
Excellent content! Gripping battle, tense combat, and plenty of explosive heroics
Okay, this is good. Seriously. I have watched _several_ Space Hulk boardgame videos on TH-cam and this one was by _far_ the most enjoyable!
Real suspense and everything! By the Emperor please keep them coming!
we definitely need more of these battle reports
These battle reports are so great! Reminds me of reading the ones in white dwarf as a kid
Well that was brilliant. Brutal.
This channel is made with so much love and soul, that I could feel warm fuzzy nostalgia when opening another video.
And I've played 40K only during 6-7 ed, for I'm too young to have witnessed OldHammer myself!
What a fantastic battle rep! Genuinely the best the of the best
An absolute blast, fantastic production!
I absolutely loved this battle report you have a way of reinterpreting what happens on the board into a gripping story. It would be cool if you did a series with this squad or something
Fantastic report. Love 1st ed Space Hulk. Still a fun game and Deathwing is a great expansion. More, please!
We'll have to see...:)
Great video! Painted minis add so much to a game. You really could picture your Death Wing creeping down the corridors of the hulk. Also, I now really want to get hold of a copy of Space Hulk!
What an amazing game! Thanks for sharing. Space Hulk blew right past me when it originally came out. I'm not surprised they go for so much online. That games is a blast!
Best batrep ever
Excellent ! What a nostalgic trip to the Space Hulk !
Loved this! The growing terror of the genestealers was amazing. And your video production is too notch!
Top work Ed!! Love the channel and your contributions to Tabletop Tactics so far!
Such a great battle report. Thank you!
I've never seen a man thrown so many sixes. Poor Tom!
He simply cannot roll dice.
The amount of sixes were outrageous!
Incredible, the space marines won! Well, most of the time, the tyranids/genestealers win.
Anyway, fun to watch, with this heavy dose of nostalgia...
So cool to see this old stuff that I wish I started there.
Tom’s mistake was going right in for the attack with the closest gribblies on that 2nd to last turn. He should have flooded the hall in front of the final door and then staged those just out of reach for attack in front of Captain Courageous. Delaying the onslaught for a turn, but hedging his bets.
great video man! love these old school gameplay videos \o/
Brilliant Batrep that! Old school space hulk looks so fun to play!
brill video. exciting and tense!
Love it from start to finish such a nail biter.❤
That was excellent!!!! ... Original Space Hulk was so tough, Marines did very well here.
Somehow this felt and sounded like something that would be on the 'History Channel'. I would binge watch that channel.
That was a really great bat rep! Expansion seems to give marines much more options, from what I remember in the base game, they are one bad roll from being overwhelmed. That is a well earned sub.
The music was definitely the glazing on the donut
Absolutely love it! Really like the way you create that amazing atmosphere. We want more!
Yay more minisodes! Absolute nail-biter!
Can’t wait for another episode of this game.
Great stuff. Rewatching
Great presentation, a very entertaining battle report
Such a great game! Ezekiel went wild and Brother Darius too! Absolutely loved watching this and can’t wait to see what is up next!
More, more more :-)))
