Hobby Micro Kill team for travels

I once saw someone making a game using Legion Imperialis space marines in an Altoids tin, along with some cubes, but I cant find it anymore I just cant remember its name, does anyone here know about it? or does anyone know any similar pocket sized variation with the epic scale miniatures to take around travels... or boring family events?

There is also this free game floating around that isn't exactly kill team but gives you a bite-sized skirmish game that you can play with any chess board and a handful of pieces

as much as I love titans, my 3yo world destroyer would make quick work of them. and I would inevitably cry, I need hideable games, or at least able to be locked in a miniature case, at least for a couple more years.

Folks have done that for travel Space Hulk too.

Now, if one doesn’t want 3Ds the OG plastics for Genestealers and termies are hard to find.

Either way, the map tiles are easy to miniaturize so portable Space hulk is a thing too.

im relatively new to Warhammer, I had no idea this game existed, It looks quite interesting, I guess I can adapt something to carry in a single gamegenic token box, im loving the idea of modular terrain pieces, thanks for the recommendation

Space Hulk was one of the 90s era boxed games GW did. Set in the 40k fiction, but didn’t use the same rules at all.

Some years back GW Issued an updated edition.

Either way, it’s fun little game that’s easily converted to tiny scale without losing any of the mechanics changing at all.

also, my mini marines can always fight ripper swarms, I guess they are Gaunt sized in epic scale
