It was a limited edition run. Hence why I asked if what you are asking for is another Space Hulk run, so that you could buy it again.

It's still available for basically RRP on Amazon anyway. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00NO61D4Y/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all

Honestly, no. I'd like another run of it myself to be honest, I missed it back in 2014 too. Though, I don't think it's what OP was asking.

I would for sure join the Tau v Tyranid hype train. I would also love a Tau v Necron set. Basically, Tau v Anyone would be awesome.

On that same train, I would love a Sisters v Someone box whenever that new model line drops. I promised I would buy sisters if they ever came out in plastic. So I need a cost-effective way to do that lol.

I wasn't asking for Space Hulk per se, just suggesting a Terminators vs Genestealers box could be fun. Maybe it could have some new 40K missions around space hulk boarding etc.

That's basically space hulk.

Luckly I've got one


Anyways.

I'd just like one godamn box that DOESN'T have IoM in it. to the point I don't really care who the sides are.

I know the IoM are the "main characthers", but for the love of god we long passed the point of absurdity that the "backfoot loosing last stand of humanity" has more stuff than everyone else combined.

can neither confirm nor deny I lost track of what I've got right now.

Red Sisters of battle vs Black Sisters of Battle.

Released after the full plastic line comes out, each side of the box has a completely different, non-overlapping content along with including 2 totally new HQ models (one for each side) in addition to a generic Canoness and a generic Prioress. All at significant discount.

This way I could buy 20ish boxes of these and save a buttload of cash on building a huge sisters army

Now, I'm not really a lore guy but I'm like 99% sure that the imperium DOES have more stuff than everyone else combined.

Would probably never happen but an Eldar vs Dark Eldar box would be amazing.
Could have new much needed models on both sides.

I would say it's impossible but we just had a Khorne Daemons vs Slaanesh Deamons box so I guess anything is possible.

My dream box would be:

GSC vs Adeptus Mechanicus

GSC side:
Acolyte iconward
abberants
clamavus
10 acolyte hybrids
wich ~translates to 300-320 points melee focused


Admech side:
tech priest manipulus
Kataphron breachers
skitarii
the new transport
wich would translate to ~320 more shooty focused

I think this would be a reasonable balanced box
(and people that want to kitbash their GSC to a more admech variant instead of a IG type can go nuts)

Price range would be ~125 euro

Depends on how you define "more stuff" and "everyone else combined". On raw numbers Tyranids, Orks, and Daemons probably have them beat, if you define "everyone else combined" as top-level factions rather than specific factions the Eldar definitely can compete on number of different unit choices. And it's sort of a silly argument when GW's focus on the Imperium of Man ends up having them do self-contained Codexes for things like the Adeptus Custodes (never more than ten thousand) or the Space Wolves (Adeptus Terra dislikes using that gene-seed to make successors, which means there might be two or three thousand floating around). If you applied that level of granularity to the Eldar you might get "Codex: Dire Avengers".

Balanced Game: Noun. A game in which all options and choices are worth using.

You could go historical and do a Place of Union box. New Kroot Carnivore/Hound/Krootox/Shaper box, new Knarloc box, plus Fire Warriors and an Ethereal versus some updated more modern Orks.

The original xenos conflict, orks Vs eldar. Two very different armies, both in look and style, for a nice contrast.
Chuck in some new boys and rangers, new autarch skyrunner would be nice too.

I like the imperial vs traitor guard. Do a planetary civil war where the AM stationed there fight the pdf.

On a greedy take I'd go for drukhari vs emperors children.

New DE HQ that acts like a lt.
10 kabalite warriors
Ravager
5 or 10 new pureborn with augments like havocs got.

Vs

Dark apostle
10 csm
5 new noise marines
New sonic dreadnought

This would be before EC get their own codex. After should have more new stuff but im sticking to the format.

Steel Legion vs Orks

New plastic sculpts for steel legion - 10 man Infantry Squad and a 5 man Company Command Squad box, give them a Chimera, and maybe a unit of Ogryn, to break up the monotony of a bunch of regular infantrymen.

Orks could get a new customizable Warboss, maybe one in Mega Armor, toss in some Meganobs, a unit of Ork Boyz, and maybe one of the new buggies.


Xenos vs Xenos - Ideally involving Tyranids, Orks, or Tau (Ork v. Tau, Octarian Wars, splinter fleet entering Tau space, etc)

Tau: a new unit of Mercs (new Kroot, plastic Vespids, Tarellians, etc), Merc HQ (one that matches the type of merc), and then base the rest of the kit on existing Tau proper units that will complement the mercs so it isn't a hodgepodge mess (a Tau HQ, then possibly a tank, or suits, etc depending)

Nids: Hive Tyrant, Tyranid Warriors, possibly a new low tier troop unit based somewhat on the xenos they are facing in the box, plastic Lictor.

Orks: Plastic customizable Warboss, in light armor/'eavy armor, Nobs, a Battlewagon, and a unit of Killa Kans

I'd love to see something Coven-focused, so maybe:

with the Groteseques being new plastic versions.

Let's try to imagine a beefier Tau force to match that, something like:
1 Commander
10 Fire Warriors
3 Stealth Suits
1 Broadside

I'd be all over that box set.

I'll admit to wanting to see something kinda stupid:

Marines:
A new space marine Captain in Centurion armor. Seige Drill with Melta on one arm, Heavy Bolter on the other, choice of Hurricane Bolters or Assault Launchers.

Assault Centurions.
Storm Raven.
Min squad of Infiltrators so it's a legal patrol.

Orks:
BigMek in mega armor
Morkanaught
Meganobs
Kommandos
Grots so it's a legal patrol

Theme is basically one really heavy unit responding to scouts spotting another really heavy unit.
