I call BS. There's not chance GW would put 20 terminators in a single box set.

**cadbren**

With 20 termies it gives the option of playing against other marine factions or allying with does it not? Didn't the older sets come with different coloured termies so that teams could be used?

**JohnHwangDD**

Too many Termies to make this believable. Even if they're the AoBR monoposes (which I'm sure they are). 10 Termies & Librarian against 30 Stealers & Broodlord makes more sense.

**Brother SRM**

Box contents aside, I can't fathom 20 terminators in one Space Hulk. Maneuverability is hard enough when you have 5 Termies in a cramped hallway; 20 is ridiculous.
If he said 10 Termies, a Librarian, 20 Genestealers and a Broodlord, I'd be more inclined to believe him.

**Alpharius**

You're right, of course.

So, maybe that's what he meant to say.

I guess that means slightly less force on the kick to the head then?

Of course, if this isn't true at all, it is more like a kick to another region...

**Cheif Librarian Vaako**

I would like to apologise to all members of Dakka it is indeed 10 terminators not 20.

**deadratman**

Space Hulk is a great game! A bunch of terminators groping in the dark and turning around just in time to shoot a sneaking genestealer! That is vaugly simalar to the video game "doom"

**Ketara**

Is that the result of a sudden conversation with him in the last 3 hours, or you changing your mind?

**temprus**

The broodlord is supposedly the one previewed at a few GDs but not yet released, first I have heard that it would be metal.

**Alpharius**

Looks like someone else is going to get a kick to the head...

Still, thanks for the rumor, and I hope it plays out true!

Given that it was a regular-sized sculpt, rather than a 3D render or 3-up, that one was always going to be either metal or a Forgeworld resin piece.

Unless it can be cast in one piece, though (which looks possibly doable if a bit tricky) I still can't see it as part of a boardgame release.

**Cheif Librarian Vaako**

Don't worry i have already done it lol!

**AgeOfEgos**

Did he mention that they were pre-paints?

**Cheif Librarian Vaako**

No he didn't sorry

**number9dream**

You should probably edit the first post to prevent more confusion!

**Cheif Librarian Vaako**

Ok will do that now

**Cheif Librarian Vaako**

Ok anytime you want a game when you get back just pm me ok

**LunaHound**

I think :

Terminator would be at most 10

Brood lord will be plastic.

I cant see GW been lazy to the point that they will recycle
models from current range to push a new game.
(especially its a board game )

Also +1? C'mon people, this isn't the first time we've dealt with news and rumors around here. Sheesh.

Btw forgot to say, I really hope this turns out to be true and thanks for letting us know

**Cheif Librarian Vaako**

Glad to help

**NAVARRO**

Its going to be great... Its like when I started back in the day, all over again. Best GW product ever.
Lets hope they dont mess it up... the classic is back!
Thanks for the confirmation mate.

**Hordini**

Ten terminators sounds a lot more realistic.

I'm not really that concerned with what actually comes with it (although plastic corridors would be pretty mac), I just hope the rules are still solid. I've never played the old versions of Space Hulk, but I've read the rules. I really hope they bring back the timer for the Marines' turn. That would be so cool. If I'm gonna play Space Hulk, I want it to be tense. You know, get the blood pumping and all that.

**Lagduf**

I doubt there will be any metal figures in this box.

Should all be plastic, as it's a hobby board game designed to be more or less playable out of the box.

Realistically the only thing you should have to do is glue the figures to their bases ala the Blood Bowl Box Set.

GW makes great board games, I wish they would release more - though the stuff coming out from FFG using GW's IPs looks good. I just wonder if FFG will be able to make a 40K game that isn't Dark Heresy/Rogue Trader.

**BrookM**

I can't wait to see the actual kit contents so we can decide whether or not to use it for Rogue Trader ship boarding scenarios.

**Steel Rabbit**

Let's hope it's more like 1st ed Space Hulk, and not 2nd ed.

**Panic**

yeah,
Ok let me be the first to say I hope they copy litko systems blip counters and make the new ones in glowing green plastic.

I also want to see plastic corridors and game items... at the very least I want Plastic Doors and bulk heads to hold the tiles Like WHQ
Jam and hit Special Dice have to stay.. a plastic/metal C.A.T. mini will Kick ass.

I hope they stay away from weapons tables like in 1st edition. Second edition plays better.
I'm hoping they make this edition even more StreamLined.

Now i have to think do I want to keep my old copy or sell on eBay...
I guess you can never have enough 'nids...

Panic...

**Ian Sturrock**

I will be happy enough to get the figures, and some new board sections, counters, & so on, to use with my 1st edition SH (whose components are starting to get a bit tatty, but whose rules are still absolutely fine).

**Alpharius**

So, after all this, has there really been a confirmation of anything yet?

**Kilkrazy**

I don't remember any weapons tables in first edition. It was a super simple game for rules though rich in tactical complexity.
