The one that was released in a limited run a couple years ago?

Also, why do people refer to it as 3rd ed Space Hulk? Was there a 2nd edition one? I know there was a 1st edition one from the late 80s I think...

I recall it being 150ish AU, so find what the equivalent price bracket for your area is and you should have a good estimate.

2nd ed came out in the mid to late 90's. Had the swivel-waist plastic termies that became the standard plastic termies for 3rd edition. Other than that, I don't think it was hugely different from 1st ed, but I never played either so am not 100% sure.

It was indeed the 3rd edition of Space Hulk, because like said above, the 2nd edition had multi-part plastic terminators, rather then the one-piece sculpts of 1st edition Space Hulk and Advanced Space Crusade/Tyranid Attack.

I bought one copy when they were available, and here in the US it was $100.

The rules of Space Hulk changed as follows:

1st Edition introduced the game.
Deathwing expansion introduced some new special weapons and some psychic powers, for the new metal Terminators that were released.
Genestealer expansion introduced hybrid Genestealers with guns, ruining the point of the game.
Space Hulk Campaigns had additional rules for marines, including standard power armour.

2nd Edition simplified the rules, requiring non-standard dice, and reducing the amount of strategy.

3rd edition brings the rules back to a combination of 1st edition, with minor changes, together some of the Deathwing rules and one special Genestealer without a gun.
