Subject: Space Hulk (Re)Release 9/2014 - vid and contents in OP

There are more rumors flying from normally accurate sources than I've seen in months.
Something is certainly at the center of all this smoke.
Here is the very accurate Arthurius11 from Warseer (almost 100% accurate since WFB Dark Elves were released)
The only thing I have heard about at this moment for this month is space hulk which is not fantasy related anyway.
That's all we have, so it could be anything from a re-release, to something more elaborate... It also puts the "Alien Invasion" tagline from White Dwarf into a new light.
I know Big red has rubbish accuracy but think Arthurius11 is 5 for 5 on his rumour accuracy....
Video seems to confirm this is up for pre-order on 13th Sept-

I very much doubt they'll be rehashing Space Hulk again. They've dropped all their Specialist Games which means Space Hulk won't be returning any time soon except in digital format.
It's only been 5 years since 3rd Ed Space Hulk and despite it's success since then GW seem to have given up on anything stand alone especially after the Dreadfleet debacle.
They now prefer to leave any stand alone board/card games based on their IP up to FFG. However FFG won't be able to release a version of Space Hulk as the game can't be played without 28mm miniatures, meaning it's not part of their licencing agreement. Iin a way this is a shame as FFG have sofar done an excellent job with the GW IP and would almost certainly do Space Hulk justice.

It's probably an expansion for the board game which requires the board game to be played, which means a really small target audience since that came out a few years ago and was a limited run.

Hm Doesn't seem likely. Coincidentally, I was one of the lucky few to get a copy- still haven't painted them up yet sadly.
Popped over to Warseer to see if they had anything thing and saw this-

I heard a while back (and have mentioned a few times - though I wasn't certain until Arthurius said it) that they would be re-releasing exactly the same box this year. So that's what to expect AFAIK.
I'd be happy with that, missed out last time it was released.

Space Hulk was never a Specialist Game. In fact it pre-dates the entire concept of "Specialist Games" by quite a margin.

I'd be curious to know what you'd class it as then..
I doubt it's an expansion. I know Genestealer and Deathwing are both collectibles but I found in game terms they broke it and bogged it down. Space Hulk is at it's best with the simple core set.
There are two Space Hulk video games being released soon. Ascension and Deathwing. Is it possible that talk of the release of these has been misinterpreted as talk of the release of a new Space Hulk board game?

Personally I'd classify Space Hulk as a stand alone board game. Same as Talisman, Warhammer Quest or Advanced Space Crusade.
Whereas 'Specialist Games' are traditional tabletop wargames produced by GW that are not one of the 'big three'. So Necromunda, Warmaster, Epic, BFG and the like.

If you are not shooting for the minaitures to be compatible, which is the situation FFG would be in, they might as well make it 15mm.

I know it's futile, but I really, really want this to be true! SH Terminators are the best out there, and I missed them first time around (started 40k a couple of weeks after it was released/sold out).

Meh. They could easily re-release it - and it makes sense given the way that they're pushing at everything like mad recently to prop up their sales figures.
Regardless of how well/badly Dreadfleet sold, Space Hulk proved it's worth last time around, and given the amount of time between editions, what's to stop them from doing another run in order to make another pile of cash.
I'd certainly throw some cash at GW if they rereleased SH.

Too good to be true, really. Space Hulk is a hugely desirable thing for GW to re-release. If they do, it'll probably be £150 and limited to 1,000 copies worldwide, with half the model count of the previous one, or something.

Then the whiners come in and complain about it, then the GW apologists will come along and say how the community hates GW no matter what they do.

Specialist Games was more than a concept when Space Hulk was released. The 2006-2007 catalog has them all in the Specialist Games section.
However Space Hulk wasn't a Specialist Game. It was just a limited release game.
^nevermind the above comment. I was corrected below.
