I'm a lifelong Space Hulk (and Alien(s) fan, obviously) and I'm very interested in the rules you guys used for movement (and pretty much everything else) in this game. Is that information available to Patreons, or in the Discord maybe? If it is, then I'm getting my credit card out...
One thing I loved about Aliens is that the marines were actually pretty effective considering the insane and horrifying odds they were up against with absolute no adequate intel or preparation.
@@matthewskorupski4106 They actually had above-average equipment. Explosive rounds, flamethrowers, infrared goggles, motion detectors, a pair of smartguns and a few shotguns. Didn't help that they were forced to operate in a... volatile environment where guns were, basically, a surefire way to get nuked, but all things considered, they should've kicked ass if they were fighting conventional enemies. Unfortunately, their encounters turned out to be far too close for comfort.
The child had just managed to scrape most of the goop off of themselves in the escape pod when something blotted out the light from above. They had been trying not to pay too much attention to the noise outside, but now they could make out the horrible screaming of those...things as well as something...mechanical? Suddenly, a massive glistening black mass is shoved into the escape pod. It writhes and screams as a large mechanical claw pins it against the floor. One of the soldiers is calmly piloting a cargo lifter, barely managing to hold the giant alien down as he winds up the other claw for a strike. The child is terrified, not only are they mere inches away from the creature, they are strapped in, and in their panic it is difficult to unlock the belts. As they finally unfasten the restraints, they feel a hand on their shoulder and a voice shouts over the din "Don't be scared! Everything is under control! Let's get you buckled up!" The child turns to look and sees a man, torn in half, with wires and tubes sticking out and covered in a white, milky substance. The child screams.
@@anathardayaldar There's nothing expensive on the board.. 2 - 2.5 kg of filament (including bases) and some paint. Imo max €75 in material. $200 for a printer. And huge amount of a time.
@@sodafied7988 omg lol, I don't know why but as someone that's been around and watching Yogscast for a long time it's always entertaining when newer fans don't recognize some of the originals like Simon or Lewis. Especially if you're more familiar with their older content and then jumps in to watch some of their newer stuff. Anyway don't sweat that you don't instantly recognize someone. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that it's nice to see this community grow.
You have a pretty optimistic view of the Alien universe if you think Weyland Yutani serves beef to their customers at McWeyland's, lol. The poor scrubs would be lucky to be eating ground-up insects, but Soylent Green seems far more likely from corpos as evil and profit-hungry as Weyland Yutani. Honestly, alien eggs would be a step up.
I have to say, congratulations on making videos where the audience needs to know nothing about the rules. You communicate the importance of dice rolls, and we get to feel that tension without knowing all the nonsense mechanics. Impressive editing and storytelling!
I've never seen this pointed out before, but this is such an excellent point. It really captures a key part of what makes these videos so engaging and easy to watch for the viewers: the accessibility serves to enhance the entertainment value in an intentional and well-conveyed way (it's ironic when you consider their main series of TTT is so much the opposite; it's extraordinarily hard to follow for new, or even returning viewers, alike.). It's genuinely some of the best content the Yogscast have ever made.
I love these half hour summaries full of story narrative. So much more viewable than the two hour "battle reports" where they go into every excruciating move.
I did this 35 years ago. Aliens with a focus on the players as Colonial Marines working their way through their careers. I still have a bunch of the stuff I designed for it as well. Promotion system, training and campaign ribbons. It morphed into DND meets Aliens meets WH40K. Best experienced on a Friday night with pizza and alcohol!
Using Space Hulk as a base for this game felt absolutely right! I mean this is really what Space Hulk was based on so it feels like it’s come around full circle for its purpose
If this was an alien movie, the ship coming to rescue the escape pod (the one with Jenkins and Jorkins on) would have the little chest-burster babby clinging to the landing gear!
Oh, no. No need for that. We have a whole fresh batch of aliens brewing for the sequel, and this time it’s on a whole Corp space station… The hubris of man is truly our greatest folly…
Imagine on the Corp space station, the Queen is now all chained up with guns and lasers and missiles all pointed at it and it's forced to keep laying eggs. Endless human reinforcements, mechs and lab coats. Then you're playing as the little chest burster that sneaked on, on a mission to screw with the humans and rescue the big mama herself.
This has got to be one of my all time favourite Battle Reports from Games Night! The amount of adrenaline-fueled action straight out of Aliens, the horror of surprise facehugger attacks and alien queens emerging from the darkness, and the endlessly hilarious and exceedingly creative decisions from Ben, Lewis, and Tom had me hooked from start to finish. This would have genuinely made for a fantastic Alien movie; it's incredibly entertaining content that continues this channel's status as being the best board game report content on UA-cam. I can never get enough of the amazing work that Ben and Co. do on this channel. I love every single video they put out!
part 2 of this needs to be a Jurassic park 2 style game where the queen is loose in a city and the players have to lure her to a ship/ put her eggs on a ship and send her back into space before she lays too many eggs and kills all guards. Another great episode, always love watching these and often go back again and again
As a Very long time Alien/s fan, and an avid wargamer, that bat-rep was FREAKIN AWESOME. The special effects were to die for, and made my experience as a viewer way more immersive. Thank you guys for that.
I realised half way through this that Ben is none other than one of my childhood friends that got me into 40k. This dude had the best basement tabletop and his imperial guard would always destroy me. Sup Ben good to see you doing well!
Might be in the members only vid. But from what I could tell they mostly used the Hulk action points system, just replaced the old square grid tiles with a standard X inches of movement per action point spent,, and using 1 AP or a command point per round of shooting/grenade toss. But Ben was also allowing some extra DM approved actions outside the norm, like the flamer guy choosing to blowing himself up to wipe out the horde
So many of those various d6 rolls... "I can't lie to you about your chances, but you have my sympathies." Lol. Fantastic match, Alien is one of my favorite movies of all time so it was a joy to see it hit the table.
0:21 "I'm almost certain it's something more sinister, so is everyone down for just telling the boss everyone was dead and going for a space pint instead?"
I know you guys already have a lot planned, but at some point I would love to see you guys play Quar. It's a inde miniatures wargame that refers to its setting as both grim and whimsical... "grimsical".
Ben and Tom are both aware of the Quar Wars, not sure they quite bought into the premise enough to buy in, but at the very least they were confused and entertained by the concept. 😂
'Or something more sinister...' - 'It's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere, I'm all alone, more or less, let me fly, fly away from here.....' Is what popped into my head...
Imagine my surprise finding this cool video on my recommended page and then seeing my childhood youtuber legends popping up out of nowhere. What a great channel to find.
Nemesis is basically an alien game in everything but the name and is freaking awesome. Their figurines that come with it are really good, but I 3D printed some that look like alien franchise for even more immersion.
Absolutely love this! Also very glad that its 'partially' co-op, makes the game flow very well! Great job, Ben, Tom, and Lewis! And everyone else involved lol
I am glad that these videos are quite popular! I imagine the amount of work it goes into planning, filming and editing this is a lot, and I appreciate everything :)
Perception checks should absolutely be a part of the main game, imagine rolling a 1 when a xenomorph pops up and you think you found a survivor so you just don't shoot as it approaches you
A Xenomorph when in that type of frenzy, makes a lot of noise, especially the claws on the metal, which you can definitely hear in that eerie silence of the 'dead' ship, kind of why in the movies the people are always looking about scared, cause they're hearing these very faint noises... I think the Xenos can enter some form of 'stealth' mode where they are more silent, but obviously not as loud, however I don't think it was the case with this one.
Great video. Great game. Great board and great minis. You could also give each team a "secret mission" for added mystery. Maybe Ripley wants to shoot Burke for revenge, for example.
I love that of course the Corpos brought a flamethrower into a highly pressurized environment, like was their plan always to just burn the ship down... probably yeah.
Alex, you've made a terrific board for the boys to play xenohulk on! I'm a bit curious though, are those TV7 miniatures for the humans? Also, I like how you have to account for the acid splashback if you kill a xenomorph right next to you, as well as how facehuggers can be mistaken for cats. That's a nice little rule considering how stealthy the blighters can be.
I'm not familiar with the rules being used, but I'm a huge Alien fan and a huge tabletop rpg and board game fan. This was engaging and entertaining without any of the boring details, congrats! Amazing!
Well done! I was never sure what the dice rolls meant (good? bad? hit? miss?) but the players reactions were so excited and genuine that it didn't really matter. And a big +1 for the visual effects of fire, exploding aliens, and melting troopers! Great stuff - Subscribed :)
Excellent video all around! Solid audio quality, great camera angles, cool special effects, great close ups for the kills, excellent editing to remove all filler, all the players made good decisions and brought great personality. I can't find anything to nitpick. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for the battle report!
Every time there is a new video. I think it's their best one yet. And every time Ben knocks it out of the park. Using space hulk rules is such an ingenious idea for an aliens game.
The end of this had me laughing so hard i woke my whole family up. Thanks for this amazing video, been a a fan of this channel for awhile and having just discovered mystery quest a few days ago was glad to hear y'all have another alien TTRPG video up. Thanks for making such amazing content for me to enjoy after a rather bad day at work. Cheers from the US
I have never seen anything like this before!! Terrain-brilliant, minis-brilliant, effects-brilliant, rules-brilliant, story-great and excitement top notch. You excelled yourselves really well this time guys. Thanks for really entertaining video!!
This was absolutely fantastic, poor alien shenanigans. Also Tom just coming up with fun extra dice rolls reminds me of the old Necromunda series, good times.
I recently got into content creation starting from zero and you guys are really pulling something special off here. I love how you're able to bottle the fun and excitement of games like this in a cinematic-like fashion. I love the set and lights and everything. Too notch 🎉❤
Please!!!! Make more of this Alien themed stuff guys! Absolutely loved it. 100% entertaining the whole way through. Sincerely yours, a new just now subscriber 😊
A while ago in a D&D game I sent the party to hunt down a stealth/ambush themed monster that was hiding out in the city sewer system. Sadly, nobody in the group noticed that the map of said sewer system was a copy/trace of the floorplan of the Nostromo.
Watching this gave me a cool idea for a RPG game like DnD but instead of controlling a single character you control a squad. You talk, quest and whatever you also get to do tabletop war gaming in combats
So Brilliant! Amazing Board!!! Never know i needed a Battle Report about Aliens XD Next AvP: The Hunt or Masters of the Universe Battlegrounds as Battle Report ? Even Resident Evil 1,2,3 would be intressting. Games Night ,you brought up some good ideas XD ( The Container used seems the same i have in Battle for Macragge ).
My buddy and I made our own "Aliens" pen and paper rpg when we were teenagers. Spent much more time making it than playing it. Probably only played two or three times but it worked well
A couple years ago me and my buddy made an avp table top game in 32mm. We ended up turning it into a universal system and added Star Wars, Halo, 40K, and even dragon ball plus many more

I'm a lifelong Space Hulk (and Alien(s) fan, obviously) and I'm very interested in the rules you guys used for movement (and pretty much everything else) in this game.
Is that information available to Patreons, or in the Discord maybe? If it is, then I'm getting my credit card out...
These are awesome! Is there a good site to learn the rules?
@@cheetor_sho3box I am also very interested in the mechanics of the game and would love to see and/or purchase a set of rules.
Needs a part two from when that ship gets to a civilian space station but has the queen and 6 aliens on board. This time one of them plays the aliens.
These are the most effective troopers in the entire alien series.
One thing I loved about Aliens is that the marines were actually pretty effective considering the insane and horrifying odds they were up against with absolute no adequate intel or preparation.
@@TheCoolCucumber Yeah fair, like for humans with normal guns they preform decently well.
@@matthewskorupski4106 They actually had above-average equipment. Explosive rounds, flamethrowers, infrared goggles, motion detectors, a pair of smartguns and a few shotguns.

@@matthewskorupski4106I mean…pulse guns are not normal guns but otherwise agreed.

Thank you for telling us the child screamed. I wasn't sure as I couldn't hear it.

A while ago in a D&D game I sent the party to hunt down a stealth/ambush themed monster that was hiding out in the city sewer system. Sadly, nobody in the group noticed that the map of said sewer system was a copy/trace of the floorplan of the Nostromo.
Alex is an absolute legend, such an intricate and beautiful map.
Great video as always, loved it.
this video deserves 500k views
Add a couple of million to that number, and I'd agree. The quality of these battle reports cannot be overstated.
That looks gorgeous. Nice job on the tabletop stuff.
Bro i want so much this board game
The production is off the charts! I am in awe. Love this! Keep it up.
Amazing game as always! Thank you tall Alex for making the board
The set/board looks amazing!
Watching this gave me a cool idea for a RPG game like DnD but instead of controlling a single character you control a squad. You talk, quest and whatever you also get to do tabletop war gaming in combats
So cool, amazing board. Thanks for putting this all together.
This raises the question: How many Aliens movies could've been better if they'd been about a floating cat sanctuary instead?
that board is beautiful
So Brilliant! Amazing Board!!! Never know i needed a Battle Report about Aliens XD Next AvP: The Hunt or Masters of the Universe Battlegrounds as Battle Report ? Even Resident Evil 1,2,3 would be intressting. Games Night ,you brought up some good ideas XD ( The Container used seems the same i have in Battle for Macragge ).
Very entertaining! The board is fantastic!
My buddy and I made our own "Aliens" pen and paper rpg when we were teenagers. Spent much more time making it than playing it. Probably only played two or three times but it worked well
One of the survivors should have chestburst in the escape pod!
I love the Aliens franchise. The first and second film will always be the best ones. F everything else. Loved this and the FX on it.
This and the last video were two of the best games I've watched on UA-cam keep it up!
Absolutely loved this. Gave me ideas for trying a game night with mates.
You ran this so well.
this is very fun. I love the board and the "blip" mechanics. can't want to get further into it.
A couple years ago me and my buddy made an avp table top game in 32mm. We ended up turning it into a universal system and added Star Wars, Halo, 40K, and even dragon ball plus many more
