About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're already a fan of the classic Space Crusade and looking to spice up your battles against the aliens, this expansion is for you! With these new rules, the Imperium's marines can now don the heavy armor of Terminators, command a fresh squad of Scouts, or even lead a horde of Ork Boyz! On the alien side, the xenomorph gets reinforcements with Genestealer Hybrids and the fearsome Tyranid Warriors, making the alien threat even more dangerous.
To use these new additions, of course, you'll need the corresponding miniatures from the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Fans of White Dwarf magazine will recognize this gem, originally published in issue 134. The pack also includes the necessary Order and Equipment cards to bring Ork Boyz into play instead of the traditional Space Marines. It's a chance to relive and expand tactical missions in this iconic setting, adding more variety and challenges for long-time fans and for those wanting to start exploring this universe of space combat.
