help Space Hulk FAQ
What are the two playable factions in the Space Hulk miniatures game?
The game strictly features two opposing factions from the Warhammer 40,000 universe: the Blood Angels Space Marine Terminators and the Tyranid Genestealers. The asymmetrical combat forces the slow, heavily armed marines to survive against endless swarms of fast aliens.
How many Action Points does the Space Marine player get per turn?
The Space Marine player receives exactly 4 Command Points at the start of every turn, which dictate how many actions their squad can take. The player also rolls a single die to gain one additional, temporary Action Point for that turn.
What happens if you roll a "Jam" result on the dice during combat?
Rolling a Jam result on the assault cannon die temporarily breaks the marine's weapon, leaving them defenseless against the Genestealers. The Space Marine player must spend a Command Point to clear the jam, or another squad member must step in to defend them.
What year was the original Space Hulk board game released?
The original *Space Hulk* board game was published by Games Workshop in 1989. It was designed by Richard Halliwell and quickly became a cult classic due to its tense, claustrophobic mechanics.
