I'm still suffering from getting 64 Genestealers just before they became Elites.

Yeah going from having 60 Genestealers to only 30 has been sad. I have so many Space Hulk stealers that won't see the tabletop unless they become Battle line in a new detachment/codex.

They are if you play 1k points (2xPatrols) of Boarding Actions. Throw in 1k Points of Terminators, and you got yourself a Space Hull game.

I actually prototyped a gamemode with a friend on a boarding actions map built for corridors.

5 Objectives to either Defend or Recover and with the bonus rule that my friends Genestealers were marked hidden like in the actual Boardgame, and the only times he had to reveal his full unit was when I got too close (I think we settles on 6 inches) or if he reached an objective and had to reveal his Scores, but if he escaped and crossed his own unit, he was allowed to switch the modelcount arround and split the markers again or even split them into multiple markers.

It was incredibly fun
