About the game
Hey there, Space Hulk: Death Angel fan! Ready for an upgrade to your squad? The Deathwing Space Marine Pack is that expansion that arrives to shake up the base game, bringing a brand-new set of Space Marines to replace the originals. With them, you gain access to never-before-seen abilities, like 'Hellfire' and 'Trail of Destruction,' which will add extra spice to your battles against the dreaded Genestealers. But it doesn't stop there! These new guys know how to make the most of Support tokens. Think of an Apothecary using these tokens to heal wounded brothers, or an Interrogator-Chaplain distributing them to boost any Marine. It's pure strategy to optimize every action! If you enjoy the cooperative and challenging vibe of Death Angel but want a pinch of novelty and more tactical options, this expansion is for you. It not only changes the look of your warriors but also the way you approach each mission, requiring you to explore new synergies and use the available tools more intelligently. Get ready to face the xenos with a renewed look and abilities that will test your teamwork and planning skills. It's time to show who rules the dark corridors of space!
