Ferocious boarding actions rage through the corridors and strobe-lit chambers of voidships. The fires of this age of war burn just as fiercely amidst the stars as they do on any planet's surface. Fighting for each hatchway, every corridor junction and vital data console, your boarding parties will be tested against the enemy, and their mission parameters.
Miniature Review
I've always enjoyed the tighter, more confined battlefields when playing games in the 40k universe. The Boarding Actions sets, all introduced via Kill Team with a number of Killzone terrain sets. These sets are designed to be modular, allowing you to create a variety of different layouts, reminding me of the old Space Hulk games.
Although from a distance the terrain pieces seem fairly plain, when you look closely there is a huge amount of detail on them. Skulls (as always), pipes, monitors, fans, lights and various other details. Not only does the layout and rules make for great games, but they work really well as interesting backdrops for photos.
As I have such a large backlog I decided to buy a painted set on eBay. This way I can always add my own additions to the set in the future, but in the mean time I can use them for games and photos. The set I purchased included:
- 04x - A1 Long Wall
- 04x - A2 Long Wall - Pillars
- 04x - A3 Long Wall - Hatchway
- 04x - A4 Long Wall - Hatchway & Pillars
- 04x - B1 Short Wall
- 04x - B2 Short Wall - Hatchway
- 08x - B3 Short Wall - Hatchway & Pillars
- 10x - C1-C5 Killzone Gallowdark
- 06x - D1-D3 Killzone Shadowvaults
- 08x - E1-E2 Killzone Soulshackle
- 02x - Killzone Into the Dark Overhead Pipe
- 36x - Pillars
- 04x - Wall Ends
I really like the use of two colors and I think it will make for somme interesting games and gives more options for backdrops for photos.
Painting Techniques
I'm not fully sure on the colors used, but I will update this section if I find out or try to replicate them in the future.
Roundup
I'm really happy with these pieces, and will be sure to post a board with it all set up soon!
