Introduction

So basically Space Marines: The First contact is a boardgame based on miniatures and lore from Gamesworkshops "Wharhammer 40.000" universe. The idea came up around 2007 when me and my friends Måns Waldenström and Martin Lindblom (http://amongtheway.blogspot.com/) were discussing what kind of games we wished someone else would make.

I personally, have always loved skirmish games such as Infinity, Necromunda, Mordheim among others, but alot of the times I would get frustrated with the rules of the games. But I knew that it was within this genre of boardgames i wanted to work. One of those games that I used to play was Space hulk, really a too bad that the game kinda sucked cause i really like the idea of the game itself. So what happend was that I started working on a new version of the game. The idea was to make a tactical boardgame that would border on rpg. Sort of Space Hulk advanced.

In the beginning the progression was sort of fast. Alot of things were done. I finished the beta rules fairly quick, working of a gamesystem I made for another game in the past. We ordered tons of miniatures and some really nice molds from http://www.hirstarts.com/ in the States for the terrain.

And then... well I suppose most of you noticed the rerelease of Space Hulk from GW. Well it kinda threw a shadow over the whole project. I wanted to do something new, fresh and exciting, but if I would promote the game meanwhile the new Space hulk came out I would just look like a ripoff trying to change a few things around from the latest GW release.

Matter a fact is though, that the game I've created is nothing like the original game from GW. So I have recently resurrected the the project, but now I am working alone and because of the progression is slow. In this blog I will post pictures and make updates along the way showing of ideas and WIPs in general.

I hope you enjoy
