A Space Hulk will drop out of the Warp at Hurricon 2016 held in Orlando, Florida this weekend (September 22-25) at the International Palms Resort and Conference Center.

From the Game Grid…

The Space Hulk identified as the "Pestilent Host" has dropped out of Warp threatening Imperial Space. Forces sent to bring Retribution have gone silent. Ordos Hereticus has taken an interest in this threat as well as other forces of the Imperium. Command elite members of the "Emperor's Will" to subdue this blasphemous intruder. Death to the Heretic! Death to the Xenos! Launch Boarding Torpedoes!….the "Emperor's Justice" must prevail! This will be a 28mm narrative miniatures assault into mayhem vs. the GM featuring 3D modeled Hulk passages and rooms.

See you there!

Wow! Do you have any more pictures of the parts?

Awesome!

Are those drop pods, boarding torps, or power sources? (The big orange things) Whatever they are they look fantastic, as does the rest of the board.

That is really impressive.

Thanks… the objects in the first picture are in fact Savior Pods overrun by Genestealers.

The picture below is a Boarding Torpedo disgorging a squad of Deathwatch. The Savior Pods were made of Pop Up plastic sprinkler heads with foamcore fins attached…. the torpedo is a larger sprinkler head with foamcore fins and glue stick fuel tanks attached. The walkways and rooms are black core foam core, vertical PVC pipe for supports, granny grate for walkway grating and bamboo skewers for perimeter piping. The layout consumes about 30 square feet (2-6'x30" tables) and was really super cheap to build.

Are those glue-stick thrusters I spy?? Really beautiful layout. Looks like loads of fun.

That looks fantastic. Now I wish I was going to Hurricon.

This kind of thing is what wargamers dream of. That is an absolutely top notch set-up.

Only thing better is seeing his work in person!

Brilliant use of lawn sprinklers!

JSchutt22 Sep 2016 9:49 a.m. PST

Thanks Guys! I plan on taking a lot of pictures during the two games I am running at Hurricon! Look for them to be posted early next week.

By the way did anyone notice the use of treble fishing hooks to simulate boarding grapples on the Boarding Torpedo??

goragrad23 Sep 2016 5:42 a.m. PST

Just back from HURRICON and the pictures do not do the set up justice! Absolutely amazing! Hollywood has nothing on you Jeff/
