## Description
Get ready to dive headfirst into the Space Hulk expansion, the Deathwing Expansion! If you already enjoy the base game, this gem brings a host of new features to make your missions even more tense and exciting. The setting is classic: the Dark Angels, the Emperor's most brutal warriors, arrive to recruit the best of the best. And who are these lucky few? Future Space Marines, of course! But the elite of the elite, the bravest of the brave, join the Deathwing, the Dark Angels' terminator company. This expansion is not a standalone game, so you'll need the original Space Hulk to play. But look, the extra fun is worth it! We have new characters, like the Marine Captain and the Librarian (yes, the psykers!), each with their unique abilities. Weapons also get reinforcements: Assault Cannon, Grenade Launcher, Power Sword, Thunder Hammer, and so on. The action becomes more dynamic with multi-level maps, full of traps and ladders, and new rules for ambushes and teleportation. For those who like to plan, there are pre-defined squad sheets and a mission generator that ensures no two games are the same. Oh, and for the solo players out there, there are solo rules and a new campaign with six missions. Details like crates, rubble, and cryogenic tanks make the environment even more immersive. If you're a fan of Space Hulk and want more tactical and thematic content, this expansion is a must-have!
