Well, this should be more of a fair fight.  Also flags underground – really?

 

Back in the day, GW did something similar with Space Hulk, eventually releasing rules for a variety of forces fighting in those dark cramped corridors.  It looks like they are reviving the concept for Deathwatch Overkill to give the game system more variety.
