Heretical Gaming is my blog about my gaming life, featuring small skirmishes and big battles from many historical periods (and some in the mythic past or the far future too). The focus is on battle reports using a wide variety of rules, with the occasional rules review, book review and odd musing about the gaming and history. Most of the battles use 6mm-sized figures and vehicles, but occasionally 15mm and 28mm figures appear too.

Space Hulk: Suicide Mission

Space Hulk is a really fun game, especially with children.  Just saying.


My 6-year old had a tremendous time with this.  We played the first mission "Suicide Mission" co-operatively and used a very simple system for determining Genestealer action: enter the board as close as possible to the nearest Marine and charge!  It worked just fine...


This was the position at the end of the game: two Marines were taken out by the Genestealers but the Flamer was successfully used against the target room - great fun!

  1. Space Hulk is so much fun! I played it a lot of times in the 90s with a friend who owned it. Alas, we fell out after a few year and I have never played it since :-( but I still remember how great it was to play.
