Where is the all new tiles info?

Pictures would help. I am intrigued by new tiles, missions, and doodads.

I'd be much more interested in a few new minis. But still probably getting a new copy. I love Space Hulk.

I'd be interested in a (my first) Space Hulk, but if the limited run thing is still happening... as mentioned, it's pretty damn silly. For a company sorely in need of sales, actively stopping people from giving you money... /facepalm

Dungeon Saga, Imperial Assault etc. have all gotten me in the mood for some boardwargames.

No new minis=no sale from me.

On a side note, I was just looking at my SH minis and noticed that every single skull on all the bases have bullet holes in despite the genestealers not having guns of any kind. Perhaps this mystery could be the start of a spin-off whodunnit type game? Someone had to kill all those guys after all!

Lol. Cluedo 40k edition.
It was Colonel Straken in the reactor room with a laspistol!

Im not very familliar with the models, but is it possible that someone, or something kind of drilled that hole to suck the brain out?

All imperial children are shot in the skull at birth to determine how good they can take a bullet as a tank shield.

I never unwrapped the last one (not because of collector's value or anything, I just never got round to playing it) so I'll probably pass, unless there's new sculpts.

Best sell that thing now cause come Friday its gonna drop drastically in price.

Meh? I'm not interested in fleecing anybody. I have my Space Hulk, if I ever want to play it I'll play it. End of story.

Space Hulk reprint? Sign me up.

Should tide me over to til the BA release...only downside is I just dropped some serious hobby cash on a new carry case...if only I'd known this was coming...

D

Sold! I love Space Hulk.

However, I have to say, a new edition of Space Hulk makes complete sense if you consider GW's current predicament. They have no idea what 'we' want (we being 40K fans in general). They probably don't know why Space Hulk sold while Dreadfleet flopped. So, in order to get a desperate injection of cash, they'll repeat the successful Space Hulk formula with a few tweaks. They dare not try something new ala Dreadfleet as that represents a risk. If only they did some basic market research, they'd understand why it flopped. It doesn't take much effort and it boggles the mind that they don't try even in slightest way. Even a simple leaflet in each box of Space Hulk saying "If you liked this, tell us what else you would like to see by visiting gw.com/tellus". It's cheap and they'd end up with a bunch of responses that says that literally shout back "Warhammer Quest!", "Necromunda!", "Adeptus Titanicus!", "BFG!" or "Blood Bowl!".

Cluedo wouldnt work in 40K:

Inquisitor turns up, sends Colonel Mustard to the Penal Legion, he is useful you see, executes the other five. Problem sorted, now on to the next task.

My sentiments as well.

I'm not going to discount it entirely, of course. But the chances of a purchase drop significantly without appropriate plastic enticement.

Damn it. I can't help myself when it comes to space hulk. But I have no money! Started new job so no pay till the end of the month!

A bit of notice would have been lovely, then I could have budgeted for both SH and Infinity. But Infinity piqued my interest about three or four months ago with their cheeky little hints and such and I've already pre-ordered/paid for O:I.

That doesn't work. GW's extensive market research (ie: They asked Kirby, and he said so) says that if you know about the release more than 3 minutes before handing over your cash, you'll lose interest and go google 'Pokemon' (whatever that is) or something instead.

Agree on that one - however as a long term Space Hulk fan I'm sort of going to have to have to get one just fro the very small amount of new tiles and missions, I think many people will do the same but I'm guessing we'll see a whole load of Plastic arriving on fleabay before too long. I'm not sure I'll need 20 Marines unless GW have actually been clever and made some of the later missions to be more than the 2 squads in the box.

Just Pre-Ordered my copy from my LFGS. On their notice from GW, 12th September is the ‘Go Noisy’ date, ie. When they can officially advertise / talk about it, actual release date is TBA. The box art on the email is identical to the last version released, but this may not be the box art for the new version. There will be new counters, new ‘3D Board’ and new campaign / missions book (16 of them). No mention of new models, and I can’t remember the model count the GW notice stated. It is a limited release.

Oh and new tiles include 'boarding Torpedoes'.

I know that topic gets a lot board space but it's still absolutely, eye wateringly ridiculous and probably will be until the internet is but a distant memory and mankind has evolved to state of pure energy.

I'm also a huge fan. I missed the last version (2009?) as I was out of the hobby and been for a number of years but despite my grand standing and pontificating above, there's a very good chance I'm going to get this... Siiigh. We move house in three weeks and every penny is counted for. Looks I'll be on bread sandwiches for lunch for a few weeks.

Sigh... and I totally was going to try to not buy anything by way of models for at least another month

pics on there -- looks nigh on identical, first glance anyway.


Wee bit busy right now, would link to here otherwise.


Please do not host them on Dakka. Thanks.

I do hope it's not a re-hash of the last edition with just a tiny tweak here and there. New shiny dollies please!

Some of those look like missions that were printed in White Dwarf for 2nd edition Space Hulk. New board sections spotted as well. Definitely got some new stuff in including what looks like the disposal chutes, Pitfall counters and air ducts. Interesting

Looks pretty much the same to me, slightly different font on the front of the box? Not got mine out the cupboard in a while. I'll pick up that WD for the extra mission though for sure!

Not enough for me to justify spending £75 on more or less exactly the same game but with a couple of extra cardboard bits though. I can't help thinking I'm not alone here; I guess GW hope that people who don't have SH and want it now outnumber those who bought it first time round and would have bought it again if it had some new stuff in it.

Yep - very little extra added.

Based on the picture in the article linked above, it looks like with a PDF of the rules/missions, one could use any extra corridor tile (or even just line up his terminators) at the designated entry point.

turbo-lift tile on "Disable the shields" mission

Two new tiles - turbo-lift and a bigger 5x5 room that appears to be open to space (the back of it appears torn away) - plus two boarding torpedo tiles. Can't tell if some of the regular tile artwork is new.

Phew. By the look of it, as I already have the previous one, and this one looks nearly identical, i won't be buying it. My wallet is very pleased, mean s i can focus on my PA GK army.

I'm having one, bought 1st edition many years ago and missed the intervening rehashes whilst being 20-30.... Now I'm back doing 40k, Bloodbowl & Carwars I may as well do Space Hulk too
