First we have a close-up of the Space Hulk board game but at an odd angle and on a strangely textured "table top".
Back out and you can see the whole board, blips, genestealers and terminators.
Back out further and yes, that's my refrigerator!
Proof of my insanity? or my obsession with gaming?
I figured I needed something for those long road trips or when I'm visiting a friend in NY. The idea of a travel version of Space Hulk hit me. I'm doing the entire game in Epic scale with magnetic bases and tiles!
The genestealers are painted in the colors described on the Space Hulk box.
The termis are painted a pale olive drab which I happen to like, with their knees and buckles done as red gems to add some life.
For a close-up of the terminator go to

Next step in the project is to redo the board now that I have a color printer.
Then I need to locate a box for one of those magnetic chess sets to use as the playing surface/storage box for use in the car or on the plain.

Let me know what you think.

PS. @ 'Random Person' I'm sure Vince is a perfectly good looking chap and doesn't 'ming' in the slightest.

It just goes to show that genius can come in small packages - and, err - stuck to a fridge... Bellissimo!

I always thought Space Hulk looked intriguing, but always gave it a pass. I remember you'd done this and I've been looking into Space Hulk, so I had to look it up again....this is so darn cool!

great idea. but epic minis are a bit tiny to play as individual pieces. id like GW to start making epic on a 15mm scale (like flames of war), you will still have the big battles but with better looking figures. good work. 8/10.

The paint job is definately good, though not overly impressive. But is it a cool mini or not? Yup! 10
