Yes. You are.

If only there was a range of 3D space hulk style corridor scenery made by some third party company!

Where abouts?

Can anyone see any proprietary dice or have any clue about the rules?

Scenery isn’t plastic (or vac-formed thankfully) but I’m still interested in this. I still don’t understand why it is limited edition.

Realistically this game is a good buy for the value of the models alone.

I shan't be getting it though, as I have plenty of 1st edition Spulk.

I would have been tempted if it had plastic scenery.

I do believe that I can help you there, good sir! There's this wonderful company called Litko Aerosystems. They produce top-quality Industrial Towers and Space Corridors.

So do these guys come as red and black plastic then? I'm looking at this image, http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m410448a_60010699001_ENSHContents_873x627.jpg and I swear I can see the librarian towards the right as a bright red model. It certainly isn't blue and I don't see another model with a big ass axe like that.

As Yakface pointed out, there are 5 normal D6's in there, no proprietary dice, and from the looks of the templates (and the timer) it could be very 1st-Ed-ish.

Bit difficult to vacu-form card-stock.

George Spiggott wrote:I still don’t understand why it is limited edition.

I could tell you, but I'm swan to secrecy.

Can anyone tell how many different poses the Terminators have?

I'm a bit disappointed by the tiles being cardboard, but the miniatures look better than I expected.

Go to the Astronomican(sp) section of the website if you are registered....

the dice don't appear to be proprietary, as in normal D6

So GW can produce a 6 x 4 moulded gaming board for £146.80, but making a plastic SH board is beyond them? Well that's one sale lost. At that price, this box set has to be up there as one of the biggest rip offs they've ever done. Card board tiles... my arse!

After a second look at the entire contents laid out, I predict the purchase of many little zip-lock bags to keep those cardboard counters in order.

I think you may be correct there, well the 2nd ed space hulk came with stealers in blue plastic so why not.

I think this box is an amazing set TBH, with those minis being brilliant, why do they still bother with metal with plastics like these? However from a cost point, considering how much they have claimed making initial moulds for plastic costs i'm not sure they arent making a loss on this set if its really limited to 5000 units as we've heard, which could be the 'first time ever' thing we're hearing bout ''hey guys we've made a product, then limited it enough that we can never profit from it, yaaaay''????

Will definantly be buying one of these.

Well, I've bought mine!
I'm sure that I will get more use out of it than I would a Baneblade.

Not sure what to make of this bit of info, from the highlight bit that flashes up newest products etc.

I wonder if this will be fully compatible or contain the older add ons?
Will it be another GW copy/paste cockup?
Time will tell, time will tell!

Wait.. wait.

Have you heard of ***** ****systems? They make fabulous Space Corridors!

And don't stop there -- why not accesorize your board with some of their amazing Industrial Towers!



/sigh.

In other news, these models are mind-blowingly fantastic.

What scale are they though.. wait... wait.

True-scale marines, for once?

sA

The models in this are full of awesome.
I might have to get this for the models alone (and give HBMC the rest )

Never mind my question, they appear to be all individual poses (and the website also says so).

Minor drawback that they are Blood Angles, but not the end of the world. Nice way to promote your upcoming codex in advance GW

Sigh... ordered even though there's no plastic corridors. I'll probably shelve it for 6 months, then float it on EBay before they do a second run. Or I'll crack the pack and enjoy a great game and around 180$ worth of miniatures I bought for 115$.

I will be buying a set. Still torn as to whether to file off the Blood Angels bling & replace with DA bling... I guess it *might* be worth going from having 30 Deathwing terminators to 40... and 1st ed SH was all about the Deathwing, so it'd fit. But then there's the option of starting a Blood Angels army... hmm.

No! No more Genestealers... I will however 'liberate' the board sections for you.

Deathwing was all about Deathwing. Both previous Space Hulk releases had BA's on the cover and BA's as the main protagonists. Deathwing were only added later.

Personly i think its ok for the price but i am younger then space hulk but i do like the mins speicaly that broodlord

So yea, the only lies that have been told were by GW themselves. Nice shirts guys.

GW: We are introducing a "Mystery Box" game...ooooooo
Fans: Is it Space Hulk?
GW: No, its something we have never done before! It will be awesome!
Fans: You sure its not Space Hulk? Cause that would be cool.
GW: No, its not Space Hulk.
2 Months later:
Fans: I think it might be Space Hulk.
GW: ITS NEW! WE'VE NEVR DONE SOMETHING LIKE THIS!
Fans: Sheesh! Fine we give, what is it?
GW: Ok you got us, its Space Hulk!

I'm just curious why this was so hush hush. It was supposed to be announced at Germany and they got nothing (like Chicago), but instead opt to send out a rinky-dink newsletter (which hasnt come out yet I might add). You'd think the con would have been the place to expose it for the hype value.

Appears I might be wrong about my 'three sprue' theory. Pics at the website show us a Lightning Claw Termy, there's 1-2 Thunderhammer Termies, the Sergeant, killer awesome Librarian, a bunch of Storm Bolters, a Heavy Flamer, and an Assault Cannon.

At least.

Probably more.

I'm impressed with the minis, with a little lick of paint they would turn up pretty ace. But for $165 AUD i will not be buying it, that's a wee bit too pricy for me, might just see if i can bitz buy some models if i need em or maybe to just paint them to add to a model collection.

hoooray!
I just ordered 4 copies of it, so it looks as thought I will be starting a dirty Blood Angels army, and finally doing the actual core units to go with all my big bugs!
I'm quite pleased, except that now I have to wait again!

I really, really like the whole set-up. The mini's are very nice, varied, and not pre-painted (and hopefully 40k scale.) The chits and board look to be thick and durable, but I'm not sure what to make of the scoreboard. The price is significant, but in a weird twist, if there are any expansions for me to spend more money on I'd think it was a great deal. By itself, its a really want, but maybe pass maybe not at the moment. Any clue to what edition this is?

I'd like to see a final rumor scorecard, who got what right, what was wrong. The rumor mill worked overtime on this, and so much rumor and speculation was taken as fact (or at least passed around to the point of being accepted) that a timeline might be interesting. I wonder if there is any data to be gathered on the behavior of internet communities.

Another GW lie.

The first edition Spulk rules were good until the introduction of Librarians, then they went steadily downhill.

The reason for still producing metal figures is because plastic is only cost effective if you make a large number. In this case, 100,000 Librarians have been made, which is possibly more than all the other metal Librarians in the world,

I like the marines, especially the dead one in the chair. Maybe they'll release a box seperately online? That's what they do now yeah? "Online exclusives". Because otherwise they're shooting themselves in the foot by not making the miniatures more widely available.

Jawdrop at those Terminators.

i dont care what the arguements and sad faces are about, i never got my hands on the old copies of SH. so looking at the old set now compared to the new set i am still excited. its a board game i can play with a complete beginer, with good looknig models. How can you go wrong bar the rules which we dont know yet?
so its a bit pricy but consider its a one off release (wait a year and that'll be a lie due to deman and strongly worded emails ) i am happy enough paying. Makes a break from "roll for deployment type... ok.. damn i didnt go second!!"
