Firstly, 1st Company marines wear either power or terminator armour. The Deathwing (1st Company of the Dark Angels Chapter) is an exception, in that they only wear terminator armour. The Deathwing is also an exception in that they are the only memebers of the Dark Angel who are privy to the Dark Angel's dark secrets. It's refreshing to see the Dark Angels do something without their dark secrets dominating it.

Why don't they just send the Gurad in? Sure you'd lose a lot, and have to deal with lots of infected Guard, but still better to lose them than marines and terminator suits.


Anyhow, is there anywhere I can download the older game directly based on the Space Hulk game? (I have that game, mostly to get my hands on the plastic Terminators, which have recently been replaced) My old copy I got from somewhere doesn't want to work, although I at least get to hear Genestealer noises. Although the bolters don't go "Dakka" or even "Brakka".

Oh, Genestealers are different from "Aliens" style aliens in that they don't hatch out of your chest, they infect you, are your mind is taken over and your kids are hybrid creatures. After a few generations of hybrids breeding then you get Pure-strain Genestealers, although they might have inherited traits from their host, such as being bigger, having lamprey like mouths with feeder tendrils, extended carapace, or flesh hooks which shoot out of their bodies and hook on to you and drag you to them (or help them climb walls). Stealers also have four arms, if you notice, the upper pand a 3 clawed hand, the lower fairly human-like. And is there any mention of the Tyranids at all?

IIRC, there was no connection between the stealers and the 'nids back then.

hey,

does anybody know where to get space hulk 2: vengeance of the blood angels?

[The Fifth Horseman]

Nope, and don't ask about it - to our knowledge, the game is still ESA-protected.

Hi,
I can't manage to enable the sound in that game. I run it in DOSBox and tried the other listed programme (VDMSound) and still nothing.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

As a matter of fact, yes. First of all, try changing the soundcard emulation (in dosbox.conf, more on that here) to SBPRO2.

If that does not change anything, please tell us exactly what you did in DosBox to run the game and post your Dosbox.conf.

Well, I didn't do much. I just assigned drives in autoexec part and nothing more.

I changed to sbpro2 but still no change (tried also other settings).

Here are contents of my dosbox.conf file:

[sdl]
# fullscreen -- Start dosbox directly in fullscreen.
# fulldouble -- Use double buffering in fullscreen.
# fullresolution -- What resolution to use for fullscreen: original or fixed size (e.g. 

1024x768).

scaling.
# output -- What to use for output: surface,overlay,opengl,openglnb,ddraw.
# autolock -- Mouse will automatically lock, if you click on the screen.
# sensitiviy -- Mouse sensitivity.
# waitonerror -- Wait before closing the console if dosbox has an error.

I remember that somwhere under the Space Hulk directory there was a driver sub-directory with files for PC Speaker and Sound Blaster. You changed between the two via replacing those files.

Does your problem occur with other games in DosBox or only with Space Hulk?

Only with Space Hulk. What are the names of those dirs?

Thanks for help.

[The Fifth Horseman]

I don't really remember... but they are there. You're looking for a subdirectory with very few files in it (I think 2-3 was all) and two further subdirectories containing the same filenames.
