This worked well for the majority of the game since it is fairly streamlined. While watching the video was very helpful to get a sense of the game, it did not clearly explain any of the game mechanics, as they simply played through a game. I was pleased to discover that GW partially remedied this by creating a video on their YouTube Channel, playing the first scenario. It is a common trend in the boardgame industry to post a pdf copy of a game’s rules online (via the company's website or even Boardgame Geek), but this is something that Games Workshop has not implemented. Not having a copy of the game myself, I tried to find a copy of the rules on Games Workshop’s website, but was unable to find them. To prepare for the gaming session, I wanted to read through the rules beforehand so that little time was wasted messing around with mechanics. I wanted to let people know what I think of it based on those games. A longtime friend, and fellow Warhammer 40k player, recently purchased the game, and we played a few of the missions last weekend.
Instead, today I wanted to talk about the actual game included in the set. But, we talked about much of this before, discussing the the tactical marines and the terminators in previous blog posts. And this enthusiasm was warranted, since the set is significantly cheaper than buying the resin equivalents and most of the models are superior to the resin versions. This was largely because it provided plastic versions of many miniatures that had previously only been available in resin from Forge World. When Games Workshop released The Horus Heresy: Betrayal at Calth last year, there was a lot of excitement surrounding the set. 'They are dead, they will not live they are shades, they will not arise to that end you have visited them with destruction and wiped out all remembrance of them.
