Silver Tower is, well, as the title suggests, a bit of a romp. It's certainly in the tradition of a dungeon crawl, but simple and easy enough that it's a very casual experience.

We've Got Movement - Space Hulk Review
When Games Workshop mentions cinematic, what they're
talking about is some dumb randomizer or making up rules on the spot for
a handicap, or taking as many fully painted models as possible, or
conforming to some silly requirement, or being able to take an army of
whatever hodgepodge you want to because it sells better, or ignoring the
fact that even rough point values make better balancing mechanics than
nothing.
What I think of when Games Workshop mentions cinematic is Space Hulk.
With the reprint here, I felt it was finally time to get some thoughts down on Space Hulk. Despite its typically overwrought Warhammer 40,000 stylings, I consider this game basically as close as one can get to a minimalist masterpiece while still being a wargame.

Free Prize Inside! - Review of the New White Dwarf Format
So, this was my first White Dwarf issue purchase since, IDK, early high school?
I bought it because $9 for a magazine and a $30 model (that I could sell to make back the cost if I didn't like it), seemed completely risk-free. Plus, I do generally enjoy GW's board games and wanted to check that out.

Lost Their Way - Lost Patrol 2016 edition review
So, this game's like Space Hulk's younger, lamer brother, much like the featured Blood Angels Scouts are Terminators'.

By the Book - Space Hulk Blood Angels
I'm not actually sure what more I can add to my comments on the Space Hulk set... "they're still some of GW's best"?

Guys, Look What I Found! - Continuing Space Hulk 1st Squad
I think they were going with something more serious, but that's about all I can see when I look at Goriel (on the left with the Genestealer head).

The Holy Grail of Board Games - Space Hulk Dead Captain
I can say pretty definitively that I've never spent more time on snap-fit minis than on my Space Hulk set.

...then I guess it bounces around, harpooned, for a while? Sedition Wars Doors part 2
Well, I didn't really plan on a "part 2" to my Sedition Wars door terrain post, so I don't exactly have any movie quotes for this title... you try coming up with things about doors.
