      I'm a lifelong Space Hulk (and Alien(s) fan, obviously) and I'm very interested in the rules you guys used for movement (and pretty much everything else) in this game.

    The child had just managed to scrape most of the goop off of themselves in the escape pod when something blotted out the light from above. They had been trying not to pay too much attention to the noise outside, but now they could make out the horrible screaming of those...things as well as something...mechanical? Suddenly, a massive glistening black mass is shoved into the escape pod. It writhes and screams as a large mechanical claw pins it against the floor. One of the soldiers is calmly piloting a cargo lifter, barely managing to hold the giant alien down as he winds up the other claw for a strike. The child is terrified, not only are they mere inches away from the creature, they are strapped in, and in their panic it is difficult to unlock the belts. As they finally unfasten the restraints, they feel a hand on their shoulder and a voice shouts over the din "Don't be scared! Everything is under control! Let's get you buckled up!" The child turns to look and sees a man, torn in half, with wires and tubes sticking out and covered in a white, milky substance. The child screams.

      I've never seen this pointed out before, but this is such an excellent point. It really captures a key part of what makes these videos so engaging and easy to watch for the viewers: the accessibility serves to enhance the entertainment value in an intentional and well-conveyed way (it's ironic when you consider their main series of TTT is so much the opposite; it's extraordinarily hard to follow for new, or even returning viewers, alike.).

      A Xenomorph when in that type of frenzy, makes a lot of noise, especially the claws on the metal, which you can definitely hear in that eerie silence of the 'dead' ship, kind of why in the movies the people are always looking about scared, cause they're hearing these very faint noises...
      I think the Xenos can enter some form of 'stealth' mode where they are more silent, but obviously not as loud, however I don't think it was the case with this one.

    Excellent video all around! Solid audio quality, great camera angles, cool special effects, great close ups for the kills, excellent editing to remove all filler, all the players made good decisions and brought great personality. I can't find anything to nitpick. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for the battle report!

    Well done! I was never sure what the dice rolls meant (good? bad? hit? miss?) but the players reactions were so excited and genuine that it didn't really matter. And a big +1 for the visual effects of fire, exploding aliens, and melting troopers! Great stuff - Subscribed :)

    Alex, you've made a terrific board for the boys to play xenohulk on! I'm a bit curious though, are those TV7 miniatures for the humans?
    Also, I like how you have to account for the acid splashback if you kill a xenomorph right next to you, as well as how facehuggers can be mistaken for cats. That's a nice little rule considering how stealthy the blighters can be.

    A while ago in a D&D game I sent the party to hunt down a stealth/ambush themed monster that was hiding out in the city sewer system. Sadly, nobody in the group noticed that the map of said sewer system was a copy/trace of the floorplan of the Nostromo.

      They're painted. They're from a table top game called "another glorious day in the corps".
      It's a table top game based on the Aliens film. It's pretty good. Its kinda like space hulk.
