So... looks like I'm late to the party, having been out of the country for a while... a couple questions-

Have any of the contents or rules changed since the last edition?
If there are changes, are the dataslates compatible with the old edition?
Anything else I should know?

Thanks!

Take that back!!!

KISS is the Games Workshop of the heavy metal world.

Picked up the new edition, looking forward to adding new rooms to my Hirst layout and building a few boarding torpedoes.

Any chance someone could scan the 2014 exclusive tiles and put up a PDF? I wouldn't mind printing them on some photo pater and mounting them on some mat board

The new stuff is:

New tiles- Turbolift, Boarding Torpedoes, both only used in one mission each
No new minis
Two new missions

So in theory, the dataslates are all compatible. There's a full summary of the changes here:

What he said.

I do wonder how much the models would go for on ebay and if it's worth buying a set just to get the tiles and sell the models off. They're nice models, but I'm never going to get around to painting them.

On Ebay, the 3rd edition models sold for more than the game originally cost. Some of the terminator figs I saw go for $15 or so each.

Yeah, it's tempting. I haven't been wanting to get it partly because of the high Australian price and partly because I think it'll just sit on my shelf because I have so many other things I want to paint first. If I can just sell off the models for more than I paid for the boxed set in the first place it might add motivation

Surprised yesterday seeing a dozen copies still at my flgs. Full retail, but in stock.

The free art print was a nice touch. Going to spend the evening converting my angels from Blood to Dark!

I sold 8 of mine (Each in a separate auction) for $116 total. They sold between $10 and $20, average was around $15

The terminators sell for £5-£12 each depending on which one.
I guess you can make £150+ for the 22!! if you have the time and patience.

Just look at previous listings.

Complete Terminator sets can sell for about £100.

The 22 genestealers are in less demand but still make about £30 -£40 for the set.

So if you get a copy for £150 and relist the minis the tiles are yours for free!

Panic...

They weren't even assembled

Mine were unpainted, but the hammernator was primed black. Even had his bling over his head snapped off. Still sold for $20. All 11 termies went for $125, total. Sold the Libby to a friend for like $10, even though I could have sold it on eBay for double, easily. Those termies paid for my copy this go-round.

Yeah, I'm wondering if they won't be worth as much this time around since it doesn't seem quite so limited now.

Ah well, I don't have any spending money on me at the moment anyway, I'll see if it's still for sale next week, if it is I'll pick it up, if not... I guess I'll be buying those Panzer IV's, Tigers, T70's and T-34's to play Battlegroup instead

I've taken some of the old Tyranid Attack tiles into photoshop and made them look a little more up to date. They should be sized correctly and fit with the current Space Hulk tiles, although I haven't printed any to test it out.

Nifty!

Sorry, as cool as that is, the copyright on those tiles still belongs to GW, and so we can't allow them to be shared here in case of potential legal repercussions.

...My bad :(

I'm very tempted to sell on the SH terminators and just buy some old (25mm based) terminators to use in place, will nearly net me a free game. Just the terminators are going for £100+ on ebay as it is, that's mental.

In Beast of War's weekender they mentioned something towards the end of the show about Space Hulk possibly having "issues", but as I don't have a backstage pass I missed out on that part. Anyone know what they're talking about?

Backstage is tomorrow. Interested to see what they mean, so will let you know.

I assembled mine, but with care and detail. Are they worth less, I wonder? Not that I'd ever sell them. I bought the game to play it, after all.

Did you watch Backstage to see what the issues were?

Not a Backstage member, but I can't possibly imagine there being any 'issues'. I've assembled my 2014 set and punched out the card. No problems, and the rules are the same they as they were 5 years ago, but for a couple paragraphs for the new tiles and missions.

Nothing was said in xlbs about the space hulk issues I think that was put to bed in the comments section with a couple of people saying it wasn't the case.

There is one quasi-major difference in the rules. Overwatch used to be a MUST shoot sort of thing in the right conditions. That is if the GS player did the right things, the Marine player was forced to always shoot with associated risk of a jam---even if he didn't want to. Now Marines MAY shoot under those conditions so it's more advantageous for the Marines since they can choose to ignore GSs who don't pose a threat to avoid risking a jam.

Oh, that's pretty big, yeah. Thanks for noting the change.

Why is this still in N&Rs? Shouldn't this be in the board games or 40k section now? It's no longer news or a rumor.
