First, A Shameless Disclaimer:
For purposes of full disclosure, my love affair with all things Warhammer 40K began in the latter half of the 1980s, when I stumbled upon the first edition of Rogue Trader and a box of plastic Crimson Fist Space Marines at my local hobby shop. Since that day, there has been no turning back.
For the next decade, I was an avid player of the table top game. I fielded large armies of loyal Space Marines, Imperial Guard, and at one time, I even dabbled with the Eldar. Although I no longer play the game on a table top with minis, I am still hopelessly obsessed with the universe, reading as much of the fiction as I possibly can, and pre-purchasing any game released electronically on PC or console.
Despite the above, somehow, I still managed to avoid buying or playing Space Hulk, the board game. I knew of its existence, but I suppose I preferred the wide open table-top battlefield to the confined corridor style maps encountered in a game of Space Hulk.
So, while I am admittedly biased towards loving everything Warhammer 40,000, I am a relative neophyte to the world of Space Hulk. This, combined with my faith in the Emperor, I hope will permit me to approach this review with the love of a dedicated fan, but with the objectivity of a newcomer.

Space Hulk
Suffer not the unclean to live.
Lead us from death to victory,
from falsehood to truth.
Lead us from despair to hope,
from faith to slaughter.
Lead us to His strength and an eternity of war.
Let His wrath fill our hearts.
Death, war and blood;
in vengeance we serve the Emperor
in the name of the Primarch!
In the name of Sanguinius!

The Abyss
Almost seventy-five percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by her oceans. At its deepest, the blue expanse is more than six miles below sea level. These vast bodies of water serve as living space for the overwhelming majority of life on the globe. It is a fact that most creatures that call the sea “home,” exist within its darkest depths. To those who study its secrets, this deepest brine is known simply as the Abyss.
