Quake - Space Hulk 256
Level Design Competition
June till SP Day QExpo 2008
______________________________________________________________________________________
You are the slipgate warrior. You've travelled for what seems forever,
in search of that one gate that will take you...home. This time round
you seem to have landed on a floating fortress under attack; both
insurgents and defenders ignore their animosity long enough to rid the
battle ground of your presence. They will fight each other if goaded,
but mostly they want to kill YOU!
OK, get amongst it!

Inspired by:
- Quake (thanks Id)

- the 100 brush competition concept (thanks Aardappel et al)
- the (out of print) board game Space Hulk (thanks Games Workshop)
