So like the title says i want to get some new miniature/board games. I already have zombicide seasons 2 and 3, the latest spacehulk and will get super dungeon explore soon. Do you recommend any of the expansions to super dungeon explore right away? And what are some other must gave games to add to the collection and the never ending line of miniatures i have to paint?

Knowing what types of game you prefer might help with suggestions.

Well that's the thing, aside from the games i listed i don't know any others. As long as its a fun game with miniatures i will take a look and see if i add it to my list.
I also play Xwing and 40k, used to play fantasy so im not against anything like descent.

Gears of War is a lot of fun and has quite a few minis. Dreadball has a large variety of figs (and Dreadball Extreme is a blast with 6 people.) Descent is another dungeon crawl style game you might like or if you want a sci-fi setting you might look at the new Star Wars Imperial Assault.
Lastly, if you want a more of a minis game I would recommend MERCS. Nice models with a low model count (forces never have more than 5 guys a side) make it easy to get into without breaking your wallet.

Thanks for the tips, i was looking into descent but i heard the new star wars imperial assault was basically the same game with revised rules so why not go for the new one. Unless i start finding bad reviews.

Just discovered I can't delete my account in DakkaDakka, so will be erasing (as much as I can) all traces of my presence here.

If you're looking for an adventure game, you could look at Merchants and Marauders, great ship miniatures and as a pirate themed boardgame it is unlike anything you've listed.
If you want something that combines the tabletop and boardgame world, you could look at mantic's deadzone - which is compact, but with brilliant rules that make it something like a first-person-shooter. It has an interesting mechanic in that the goals of each side may be completely different, making for a lot of variety in gameplay.

New as in recently released, or new as in not listed in your post?  'cos Necromunda is no-longer supported by Games-Workshop but is a lot of fun. It's a Skirmish game where the players control small gangs. Download rules free from the Yaktribe Vault and lots of inspiration/alternate models/etc on their forums.
A game I have read about/watched battle reports of/etc but not yet played is Warmachine/Hordes (commonly knows as Warmahordes). It looks quite stream-lined and fun, and teams from both games can fight against eachother as the rules overlap. Thay have quite an interesting miniature range - I quite like the Undead Machines that the Cryx are  . Check out their stuff at privateer press. (There are sub-forums on dakka about Warmachine and Hordes.)

Shadows plays like most other dungoen crawl style board games and adds a small bit of role playing by having characters earn XP and adding an " after adventure step" where you buy new equipment, tend to wounds (my Marshal has internal bleeding so he's living on borrowed time) and, if the adventure ended in failure, see if the town is in any kind of condition to be able to help you (the town can be attacked and some services may not be available for a time.)
Party composition is important and there are definately some characters that make better support choices than front line fighters early on (Marshal and Bandito come to mind). Poor choices early on will make it difficult to get your first few advances.
