“Step, turn, tap, shuffle, BANG, BANG, BANG . . ."
The Genestealers’ invasion of the Imperium proceeded distressingly well. “We must boost morale in the Legiones Astartes or perish,” said Chapter Master Vespasian after the fall of the planet Necromunda. He drummed armored fingers on his Command Throne.
“Perhaps we might present some merry entertainment to lighten their mood,” said Brother Promatix of the Administratum. Vespasian scowled. “A Legionnaire needs no entertainment. He lives to kill and to die in service to our glorious Emperor. No, we must publicly humiliate the Genestealers. We must prove we can move among them at our will, with impunity."
“Aha!” Promatix snapped his fingers. “I believe we may arrive at a constructive compromise."
This marked the birth of the Space Marine Recreator squad.
The Recreator squad
The SPACE HULK Recreator squad combines the finest warrior skills with the sharp sense of rhythm and lively humor needed to entertain the galactic empire's armies. The Recreators brave Genestealer strongholds to slaughter and amuse, wreak havoc and provoke a sigh. In short, the Recreators enter Genestealer Space Hulks and dance, just to prove they can. A squad’s broadcasts to Space Marine chapters throughout the Imperium demonstrates its courageous triumphs over the enemy.
Squad Composition:
One Sergeant with storm bolter and power sword.
One Marine with thunder hammer and music unit (see below).
One Marine with power glove and either assault cannon (one free reload) or heavy flamer.
Two Marines with storm bolter and power glove.
If you use he DEATHWING set's Terminator force list, a Recreator squad costs 10 points and offers the following options: Replace the Sergeant with a Captain armed with storm bolter, power sword, and power glove with grenade launcher (three points). Replace one Marine with a Librarian, psychic mastery level one, with storm bolter and force axe (three points); increasing the Librarian's psychic mastery costs three points per level (maximum 4th lewel). Replace one Marine’s power glove with chain fist (one point). One or two assault cannon reloads (one point each). One heavy flamer reload (two points).
New actions
The Recreator dance steps involve many actions omitted from the SPACE HULK game.
The Recreators’ special armour, customized by the Imperium’s Adeptus Mechanicus, gives the waist flexibility they need to perform their lumbering but strangely majestic dances.
