Man those Terminatours look AWESOME! I can't wait to get them! I have never played the Real Space Hulk (aka board game) so I can't wait to try!
I really hope it's going to be avaible in other ways than only Direct Only. If not, I'm gonna make a crusade to hunt off someones head...
So whos with me?

No its not direct only

I'll call one of the local game stores first tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised if I can just order one there without having to pay in advance.

yeah,
It's not like direct only is a bad thing...
You click on a few buttons and it arrives at your door...

If your complaining about postage... suck it up your apart of the ebay/amazon/directOnly generation...

PAnic...

My local shop got an email this morning asking them to place orders as soon as possible, making them available
to non-GW shops.

$100 for a fething board game. No board game is worth $100, especially this one for what little it comes with, and god-damned cardboard tiles?

Yeah, feth you GW. "Everything we've been told is a lie", "Something we've never done before"...indeed.

Enjoy your worthless cardboard and low-quality, single-pose figures. Sure, those painted versions look nice, but so did the blastscape...

Anger much?

Every fantasy flight game is cardboard and amazing quality.. those sell well and also cost 70-100$..

What little it comes with? as said before those terminators + character are worth a lot and so are the genestealers.. The board game part is basically free

lol low quality miniatures.. did you look at the pictures? even stuff from AOBR is higher quality than virtually every other company..

Besides blastscape which I will write off as a fluke GW makes very very high quality stuff..

No plastic corridors is fine with me. They add very little to the game, make it longer to set up and models may not fit well

Litko aerosystems joke.




My god those genestealers look incredible. I hope I'm able to get one soon.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure 5 minutes per model with a file and a little green stuff and they can be any chapter you want. Only slight issue may be removing the shoulder insignia without too much damage.

Artist's Impression:

As far as the cardboard vs plastic goes I'm all for the
cardboard. The main reason is it allows me (and others)
who might already have the older SH sets to make
larger and different maps. As far as the price goes I
think $100 is more then fair when you look at what you
get and if you had made the board plastic the price
would be reaching much higher.

Anger much?

Oh no, I have no reason at all to be angry. It's not like I was lied to or treated like a child or anything genuinely infuriating or anything like that.

OH WAIT.

Every fantasy flight game is cardboard and amazing quality.. those sell well and also cost 70-100$..

$70 actually would have been a much more realistic price point, but then they wouldn't make as much money from their limited production run, eh?

This could easily be made into a permanent item and used to recruit people into the hobby. You could sell this gak at Wal-Mart for god's sake. Someone tell me why that's a bad idea?

What little it comes with? as said before those terminators + character are worth a lot and so are the genestealers.. The board game part is basically free

The only reason they're worth more is because GW overcharges for the gak in the first place. And the board game part should be basically free considering it's made of cardboard.

lol low quality miniatures.. did you look at the pictures? even stuff from AOBR is higher quality than virtually every other company..

No, I didn't look at the pictures, because my eyes were just ripped out by angry raccoons a couple of minutes ago you insensitive jackass!

But yeah, I know what you mean. Pictures never lie, right? They've never showed off one supposedly high-quality product and sold us ass instead. Never.

As for your claim about AoBR being much higher quality than every other miniatures company in the world, prove it. Otherwise I'm not impressed because I can make claims just as baseless.

Like it's been said before, there's a world outside GW.

Besides blastscape which I will write off as a fluke GW makes very very high quality stuff..

You can't claim that everything they make is high quality, and then just write off the stuff you don't like.

No plastic corridors is fine with me. They add very little to the game, make it longer to set up and models may not fit well

Very little? Since when was having more terrain a bad thing? Could no one but me find a good use for plastic walls or tiles? Not only that but they most definitely would add something to the game, they would make it much more interesting to look at and play, and most importantly, make it worth the cost. I, personally, can't justify $100 for this game, but if you can then more power to you. In fact I hope you buy two of the fething things, because apparently without people like you GW would probably just go under.

The only reason the figures wouldn't fit on it is if they purposely designed them not to, which would be pretty damn slowed if you ask me. And I don't think it would take that much more time to set up than cardboard would.

I'm liking the apothecary terminator, myself. I'd like to get closer shots of all the models.

The actual models, not the 'Eavy Metal painted ones.

Anyway, I don't really care, I guess. I knew it was Space Hulk, I knew they weren't going to do plastic corridors and such for it, the only thing that peeves me is the fact that GW jerked us around with it in the first place.

Not only do the minis look awesome and tbh i'm glad they used cardboard corridors it fits the theme better.

Now all I have to say GW is where the god damn hell is WARHAMMER QUEST, thats by far my favourite GW board game.

I gotta say that if I'm going to spend that kind of money it's going to have to be something that supports the game I already play. I don't want to make another investment into a new game that may or may not have a few models that can be converted over to work for both purposes. If the models are in scale with 40K modles then it would be a good investment (you'd pay more for 10 terminators). If not then I'll pass.

They are in scale from what I understand.

So yay, I guess.

OK, I placed my preorder on GW's site.

For me, it's well worth it because I don't yet have enough TH or LC termies, and the only librarian termie I have is one from 1st ed Space Hulk era (came with the Genestealer expansion), and the other termies are would certainly be usable in bigger games, and I fancy a tyranid army at some point. But it's *also* worth it because the game is brilliant in itself, and is certainly at a fair price point when compared to Euro-style boardgames, board wargames, etc., when you consider the quality of the components.

I'm a Blood Angels player, and I approve this boxed set!

It will be interesting to see how different the rules are.

Has anyone been into their local GW to see the actual miniatures yet? Ithought all shops were getting ones to paint? They still look small to me... (which could explain the never been done before- 20mm 40k...)
Mick

OKay... crap... I'm not reading NINE pages of posts from TODAY. LOL

Let me just say that I think it looks great, but there is NO WAY GW will get my money for this at $100 a pop. It simply isn't worth it to me.

The operative words there being TO ME.

Not to my knowledge. On Saturday our Battle Bunker didn't even know it was going to be Space Hulk so they most definitely didn't get the minis to paint.

GW website has just crashed, or the server slots are all full, I wonder why

I will personally wait and see if I like the models, they're very nice and I hope they release them normally, but I'm not too certain I like them that much

*claps like an impressionable youth* ooo ooo do one in black armor and grey hair? pretty please mr. magician man!


seriously though, I might have to order a box of these, just for the minis.

Also, could this be a hint at blood angels getting more love down the road? let the xenos rage begin

I'll have my copy by the weekend, and can size them up,...and then play 'demo' games all night with my new red and blue buddies.

Maybe this IS the love and attention that BAs get in 5th Edition...

Lets hope so!

And like the previous poster, I have to figure out what to do with my FW BA shoulder pads. Hmmmmmmmm

I was implying that maybe BAs will now have to wait until 6th for updated rules.

Win. Ordered. Now back to your regular programme of forum Whine.

Mine is already pre-ordered! I'm not sure I need more 'Stealers (since I have all of them from the original 3 Space Hulks) but laying my hands on those Blood Angel Termies will give me a wonderful excuse to finish off my BA army in style!

Not impressed.
*Card* board tiles = flashback of 1995 card terrain!
I thought (hoped) those dark times were long past.

I would, gladly, have paid £100-150 ($150-250) for a SH with plastic (Cities of Death compatible) terrain.

As for people buying several copies thinking they will make a buck on Ebay - wake up!
Even though an unopened box of *the original* SH is somewhat valuable, this new edition (if really printed in 25.000 copies (!?)) will hardly sell over the original GW price tag. Ever.

This said. I am really pleased that SH is rereleased.
Will start building a massive 3D board (fixed corridors - but with ways to create different maps by blocking paths).
It shouldn't be too difficult getting hold of spare rulebooks from players who bought 2 or more copies for massive map games).
