Games Workshop announced an introductory game called Space Marine Adventures: Labyrinth of the Necrons at the New York Toy Fair over the weekend. Like the Battle for Vedros set, this game is targeted more toward new-comers to the hobby.
The Space Marines miniatures are from the Japanese Hero Figurine sets, and they include some of the more common Space Marine chapters - Ultramarines (blue), Space Wolves (grey), Salamanders (green), Blood Angels (red), and Imperial Fists (yellow).
The Necron figures are cardboard and the game looks to be fairly simple. However, based on a close examination of the picture, one can make out "Do Not Open" on three packs of cards. Might this indicate a more complicated campaign approach, or even a legacy-style game mechanic?
Space Marine Adventures allows 1-4 players to join forces and attempt to
break into a Necron labyrinth. Choose your hero and use each
character’s unique skills to battle various deadly hazards, not least of
which are the Necron guardians themselves. The easy-build nature of the
kits and intuitive game make it suitable for players aged 8 and over –
good for anything from family games nights to a quick adventure for a
regular gaming club. While this set is a great introduction to the 41st
Millennium, each Space Marine in the set is also a unique and dynamic
sculpt, making them great additions to an existing collection, too.
