This is a mainstream title aimed at a low barrier of entry. It’s also necessary to consider that the five Terminators are much higher quality than standard board game miniatures. No sacrifices were made in that regard and the Marines would fit right alongside your 40k regulars. For the tokens there are two compartments on this insert. A larger compartment for the round ones, and a smaller one for square tokens. In addition, there is a compartment for placing the dice. The miniatures here are also focused on ease of entry as they’re push-fit and simple to assemble. You still need sprue cutters and a bit of patience, but the instructions are clear and easy to follow. As we’ve seen in the past, just because these miniatures don’t require glue doesn’t mean they’re cheap or soft in detail. In actuality, these figures slap like a Power Fist. The poses are dynamic and the edges crisp. They’re a joy to paint as well.

Each round, players draw cards that dictate the actions of the Necron enemies and may also provide benefits or obstacles for the Space Marine Terminators. Players must work together to strategically use their abilities and weapons to defeat the Necron enemies and complete objectives.

It’s Warhammer 40,000 Universe, with iconic Space Marines, "grimdark" mood, and conflict-oriented philosophy, has attracted a legion of fans around the world. Even though the IP is older than most of its players, it has resisted the "greying" of the miniatures hobby.

Overall, Space Marine Adventures: Labyrinth of the Necrons offers an engaging and challenging cooperative experience for fans of the Warhammer 40,000 universe and board games alike. While the debut release, Labyrinth of the Necrons, was a solid introductory dungeon crawler, the newest entry is a more traditional tower defense structure. In Rise of the Orks you and up to four others are cooperating to repel an onslaught of greenskins who are assaulting a crucial shield generator on a war-torn planet. The game includes miniatures of the Space Marine Terminators and Necron Warriors, as well as a modular game board and various cards and tokens. The game is played in a series of rounds, where players move their Terminators through the labyrinth, exploring new areas and fighting off waves of Necron enemies.

Marketability: Normally, I would say that anything set in the Warhammer 40,000 Universe would have a built-in fan base. But the nature of SMA:LotN is such that it targets potential fans rather than existing ones. While that may open it up to an even wider audience, it also means that the game has to stand entirely on its own, with only limited support from its bigger cousin. The game does offer an entry-level introduction to the universe, and may be better viewed as a gateway to the Games Workshop hobby.
