Regulars to this and other boards may recall sometime ago that a small, independent development team in Sweden (?) had developed a turn-based game very similar in look-and-feel to a certain Games-Workshop-title-that-involves-chasing-aliens-through-the-hulk-of-a-space-craft (TM).  At the time, GW issued a "cease and desist" order and demanded that the program be modifed to respect copyrights and trademarks.
Well, I just re-visited that site and found that a new version of the program - retitled Alien Assault -  is available for download.  I am so far enjoying this new version as it makes from some quick but satisfying play.  Looks like this new version has an editor, but I haven't checked it out, yet.

Now, the problem is, how to divide five Afghans from three mules and have two Englishmen left over.

Looks interesting. Also made me think of the old 'Laser Squad' game.
'We few, we happy few, we band of brothers'

'Clip those corners'

Recombobulate the discombobulators!

OOooo!  I see a pre-production section for Alien Assault 2.

I didn't know they were gonna make a fresh one.  :D

There are also a ton of mods available to quickly turn it back in to Space Hulk.

FWIW...I am finding new version very difficult.  Even some the tutorial missions are hard to complete.
