Posted up on Warseer not to long ago.

I must say the models are gorgeous and from what I can tell NOT pre-painted (though I never figured they would be with GW)

MODQUISITION ADDED PICS NOTE TO REFLECT COOL STEALERS

Damn near almost bought two. Then my obsessive compulsiveness took over and I realised my mind would never cope with owning an extra Broodlord and an extra Librarian... that and I own Space Hulk. Both versions. And both their expansions... twice over.

So I stuck with one.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
This boxed game contains: a 23-page Rulebook, a 47-page Mission book and 35 finely-detailed, plastic Citadel miniatures, including: 11 Space Marine Terminators, one Space Marine Terminator Librarian, 22 Genestealers, and one Broodlord.

Also included are: 105 gaming counters, 24 corridors, 10 rooms, eight crossroads, eight T-junctions, six corner sections, four dead ends, four end pieces, 20 doors with plastic stands, one mission status display, and three plastic mission objectives, including: a dead Space Marine on throne, a Blood Angels artefact and a Cyber-Altered Task Unit. Plus a sand timer and five bone-coloured dice unique to this game.

Those Genestealers are awesome. I hope they're the standard for the next 'Nid codex.

how many people are gona be upset thats its cardboard corridors, and not the much hyped and rummoured plastic corridors????

I'm still trying to work out what part of this has never been done before, aside from charging $165AUD for an all cardboard board game with single part miniatures.

Give it 2 weeks atleast after the excitement dies down.

Not me, that's for sure. I wanted cardboard corridors, and looking at the pics the joins appear to be exactly the same, so they'll fit with the old tiles and the old old tiles, and, for those of you that remember it, even the Tyranid Attack tiles.

That's 100% what I wanted out of this, and I got it. Another cool thing is this version won't be in French like my copy of SH 2nd Ed.

Oooh, a thread I started is being made "official SH thread"...

Hmm, now do I pay my cell bill on Wednesday or buy SH (payday is wednesday)?

Do I really need to talk on the phone when I'm not home painting?......don't think so.

Nothing about it hasn't been done before. GW were lying through their teeth and out their asses simultaneously - did you expect anything less?

Oh my. Those models are gorgeous. Am I going to be able to mount them on 40k round bases and still play SH?

what chapter are the space marines?

Blood Angels it looks like to me...

Me, but that didn't stop my excitement.

Damn, all I want are those minis :(

Really? Was that not obvious? Was it the Blood Angels iconography all over the models or the vampire teeth on the librarian that made it difficult for you?

Not really a fan of what I can see of the stealers and termies. I like dynamic poses, but not dynamic poses that everyone who buys the game will have.

I also don't really like Blood Angels.

I will stick with using my old SH board and some of the many new generation stealers and termies that I have to play on it with.

That is, assuming that anyone I know is a) getting it and b) wants to play it.

No one I know has been interested in doing so since the last time it was released, so hey...

I'm not so sure about the road-kill stealer, but I'm loving all the other poses so far. Also, I'm happy that I've finally managed to get a copy of SH as I could never afford it the last two times around.

Someone needs to do a diorama of that flamer terminator hitching a lift from a Land Raider

There's letting the rumour mill work itself into a frenzy and there's outright lying. So yeah, I am surprise. And a little butthurt, but that'll heal.

The shirts did mention that everything we knew was a lie.

AND REMEMBER KIDS: DAKKA HAD IT BEFORE BoLS!

Everyone has stuff beofre BoLS, BoLS just collects rumors and consolidates them

I bet you if GW is confronted about that, they'll just say "Oh... Ahem! Uh, we were talking about, um, the mystery box! The mystery box has never been done before..."

That lie is what made this dramatic unveiling so anti-climactic.

Unless the order form is broken it looks like Australia's out of stock already.

I'd say so far the positive responses and posts saying "i preordered" show it isn't such an anticlimatic unveiling afterall

Oh sweet, they also added the release date: 5th of September. Meaning two weeks from now, give or take if GW's Mail Order Trolls are as generous as always.

They could have said "Space Hulk is coming!" and then revealed little bits over the next few weeks, or even just a picture (like that great box art) and slowly revealed little bits of it over time - a new part every Monday or whatever.

But no. We got lies and self-important bullshittery from the monkey-feths at the GK studio instead. Bravo.

Still - cardboard tiles and a big honkin' Broodlord!!! Can't complain.

Quit yer bitching and bounce in your chair more!

I'm not bitching. Dude, I sprinted - actually sprinted - across my apartment to grab my wallet the moment the page loaded.

AGREED

I'm more curious as to if the iconography is sculpted or painted on(the stuff like Bael, that is).

Because otherwise?
