Games Workshop - Space Marine Adventures (Boxed Game)

Product Information

Each round, players draw cards that dictate the actions of the Necron enemies and may also provide benefits or obstacles for the Space Marine Terminators. Players must work together to strategically use their abilities and weapons to defeat the Necron enemies and complete objectives. Space Marine Adventures: Labyrinth of the Necrons is a fun and fast dip into the 41st Millennium. New players and teaching players don’t need to worry about lengthy explanations or example turns. Nearly everything a player needs to know about how to use their Space Marine can be found on their character’s card, and it even has a handy reverse side if your character becomes wounded. In all our cases of teaching a new player, they were ready to go after just a couple minutes of explanation. All of the item, character, and enemy cards have the same great art fans of Warhammer 40,000 will be familiar with and the space marine character cards actually depict that character as a fully painted model (you know, like the ones you got with the game could be). I do wish the enemy necrons were models, like the Space Marines, but I assume the decision to use tokens instead was to keep this game affordable. Overall, Space Marine Adventures: Labyrinth of the Necrons offers an engaging and challenging cooperative experience for fans of the Warhammer 40,000 universe and board games alike. With the matching foam topper, everything stays safely in place, even if the box is upside down. On the topper there is still enough space for the cardboard tiles, as well as for the bag.

Find everything you need to battle through a Necron tomb in one box, with models, rules, game boards, accessories and more.Five miniature-precise cut compartments accomodate your Space Marines. These lie separated from each other in soft foam. This avoids collisions and the rubbing or chipping of the colors of painted figures.

The game is designed to be replayable, with different scenarios and objectives to choose from, as well as different difficulty levels. It is intended for players of all skill levels, including those new to board games or the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Of course it’s possible some may be disappointed to find the Ork horde represented by two-dimensional chits. At the game’s price point however it’s completely expected. This is a mainstream title aimed at a low barrier of entry. It’s also necessary to consider that the five Terminators are much higher quality than standard board game miniatures. No sacrifices were made in that regard and the Marines would fit right alongside your 40k regulars. Marketability: Normally, I would say that anything set in the Warhammer 40,000 Universe would have a built-in fan base. But the nature of SMA:LotN is such that it targets potential fans rather than existing ones. While that may open it up to an even wider audience, it also means that the game has to stand entirely on its own, with only limited support from its bigger cousin. The game does offer an entry-level introduction to the universe, and may be better viewed as a gateway to the Games Workshop hobby. Space Marine Adventures: Labyrinth of the Necrons is a board game developed by Games Workshop and released in 2019. It is a cooperative game for 1-4 players, where players take on the role of Space Marine Terminators tasked with exploring a labyrinth on a Necron Tomb World.

The miniatures here are also focused on ease of entry as they’re push-fit and simple to assemble. You still need sprue cutters and a bit of patience, but the instructions are clear and easy to follow. As we’ve seen in the past, just because these miniatures don’t require glue doesn’t mean they’re cheap or soft in detail. In actuality, these figures slap like a Power Fist. The poses are dynamic and the edges crisp. They’re a joy to paint as well. Labyrinth of the Necrons pits you and up to three friends against the terrors of a Necron Tomb in a game of heroic action in the far future. [1] Space Marine Adventures: Labyrinth of the Necrons is a cooperative board game that can be played with as few as 2 players or as many as 4. An average game can last, in our experience, anywhere from 15-30 minutes. Surprisingly Labyrinth of the Necrons has more in common with a puzzle or logic game than Warhammer 40,000 proper, but more on that later. You can have the same game experience with any number of players, but we’re all for having more brains to get out of tough situations. For the tokens there are two compartments on this insert. A larger compartment for the round ones, and a smaller one for square tokens. In addition, there is a compartment for placing the dice.

The game includes miniatures of the Space Marine Terminators and Necron Warriors, as well as a modular game board and various cards and tokens. The game is played in a series of rounds, where players move their Terminators through the labyrinth, exploring new areas and fighting off waves of Necron enemies.Just pop your Space Marines off the frame and push fit their pieces – no clippers or glue required!
