Classic Warhammer game gets a Genestealer-fuelled new release that’s Necromunda meets Space Hulk

For people of a certain age (ie. my age) there's no bigger Warhammer baddie than the Genestealer. Sure, the forces of Chaos are canonically the arch foes of the Imperium, but I grew up playing Space Hulk before I ever got my hands on a copy of 40K and there's just something classic about the thought of purple-skinned 'stealers swarming through shadowy corridors.

You can imagine my delight, then, when Necromunda: Hive Secundus was announced. I was an avid player of first edition Necromunda and while I've only dipped my toe into the most recent edition a few times, this looked like an excellent way to get me properly involved. The game pits treasure hunters from Necromunda's technologically advanced House Van Saar against a Genestealer cult and even features a new adaptation of the beastie: the Malstrain Genestealer. Lovely! (Actually, they're horrible, but you know what I mean.)
