3''Death Angel'' is a {{card game|s}} by Creator/FantasyFlightGames in 2010, based in the board game ''TabletopGame/SpaceHulk''.
4
5Just as in the original, in this cooperative game the players take the role of a squadron of [[Characters/Warhammer40000Astartes Space Marines]] in the [[MemeticMutation Grimdark]] world of ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' who have boarded a [[GhostShip space hulk]] and cleanse it from the very VERY dangerous [[Characters/Warhammer40000Tyranids genestealers]], while fighting in the narrow corridors of the ship.

8!!This game provides examples of:
9
10* AnyoneCanDie: It doesn't matter how powerful a character is or how many support tokens he has, one bad roll and he'll turn into genestealer's food.
11* TheBerserker: Brother Claudio on Heroic Charge. He automatically kills three genestealers, turning him incredibly useful in tough spots, but if you roll a 0, he dies.
12* {{BFG}}: Brother Leon's assault cannon.
13%%* ColdSniper : Brother Deino.
14* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu : [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Intimidation]].
15%%* EliteMooks: Broodlords.
16%%* KillItWithFire: Brother Zael.
17%%* MightyGlacier: Sergeant Gideon, big time.
18* MoreDakka: The Full Auto action, allowing brother Leon to attack three times.
19%%* OhCrap: Happens a lot more than you would think.
20%%* PowerFist: Brother Valencio.
21* SoloTabletopGame: Playable either co-operative or solo, since the events are determined by a deck of cards and genestealers automatically attack.
22* WithCatlikeTread: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Stealth Tactics]] involves moving silently on armour that weighs more than 200 pounds.
23%%* WolverineClaws: Brother Claudio.
24* ZergRush: One genestealer usually isn't a threat. Pile up three or four of them and [[OhCrap things quickly change]].
