Yep that video has totally nothing to do with anything

Interesting, I guess what with the release of the 2 video games and it being the 25th Anniversary they decided to do a re-release after all. I can't think what else that video could have been referring to.

I'm assuming this is just a straight re-issue of the 2009 3rd edition set? No that I can think of anything else they could do to improve it.

Anyone remember how much they paid for the 2009 game? I think it was £60 I paid for mine, does that sound right?

Ok, yeah, it's Space Hulk. That was all Space Hulk artwork.

That's great though: Bitz sites will soon have an abundance of spare tiles!

God damn it I just bought a second set of Tile (plus all the tokens and doors) this week end for £20...
New art / adjustments on the tiles would be welcome but I just hope the tiles jigsaw/connect with the 3rd edition ones, So that I can now make three set mega hulks.

I will buy this just for the extra missions/whatever.

I wonder if they would release and 'upgrade pack' for folks with the 3rd edition so they could get the new tiles/missions without having to buy the rest again.

that would be perfect... thus unlikely.

Panic...

Happy owner of the last release, but Ill purchase a copy of this if the Marines are Vanilla.

Yeah, it is going to have to offer *something* significantly new/different to the last time around in order to get me to buy it!

It has some different tiles. What more d'yer want?!?

I'm gonna buy it even just for the minis.

Will use my wolf guard in game and save the figs for ebay in about 6 months time.

I don't believe I am going to say this.
I would like to get duplicates for most everything. I would love all of those tiles for Zone Mortalis, Never have enough Grenestealers, I just don't need anymore Terminators right now

If the info above is correct, expect the same figures from the previous edition.

I wonder if they are finally actually gonna make it in quantities, or is this another 'limited' moneygrab?

With the 1st Edition they released some rules for using regular Marines in a White Dwarf and I think a supplement with Scouts. IIRC

New tiles?

I am both happy and angry about this.

Yeah, that's the 'different' I was hoping for/going to need - vanilla Termis!

I'd be surprised if they didn't. The 3rd Ed Hulk tiles, despite being quite a bit thicker than their older cousins, have the same connectors as 1st Ed Hulk, 2nd Ed Hulk and even Tyranid Attack.

Sounds like another GW cash grab. If rumors are correct its just the same game as the last release with some new tiles, counters and missions. It also appears to be a "Limited Run", which means (if the past is any indication) there will be no continuing support for the game.

I don't really get it. Make a game and support it..or don't. 1edition Space Hulk was huge, two expansions plus mission books, WD articles, rules for using other forces...etc.

So then there are going to be some differences between this and the 2009 release? I'll wait and see what the extra missions are before making a decision.

I never tried regular Marines ingame, but just from reading the WD article (it was published somewhere between 115 and 120, IIRC), they were pitifully weak against Stealers (-2 to the CC roll, IIRC) and when shooting (1 dice instead of 2). They had a neat choice of grenades and missiles, though.

As for that new edition - if I hadn't bought the last edition I might be tempted... seriously, I'd probably preorder it (which I usually don't do for anything).

But although I'd like a few new missions and various counter/tile bits, I'm really not enough of a LE/Premium collector to get another set. I'd rather try and get a decent edition of Space Hulk Campaigns online...

Yeah, giving Malibu Stacy a new hat doesn't make me want to re-buy the whole thing.

I never understood the demand for 'continuing support' to a stand alone board game. Publishing a few extra scenarios online or in White Dwarf seems plenty. It isn't designed to be infinitely expandable like 40k, it is just a board game. Just like with other board games out there, folks are free to tinker with house rules and add other forces and so on. GW doing so or not doing so shouldn't hamper anyone.

GW of today is a vastly different animal from the company 25 years ago.

How rare is Space Hulk Campaigns (the yellow book) these days? I've got a copy (sorry I've no interest in selling it) and I'm just curious.

Support for a game is huge, just trying to fing a pick up game of Epic. Yeah good luck with that. 1st edition was well supported and was pretty popular getting numerous expansions and WD articles kept the game going.

Not supporting games is why many players won't buy into them. I sure as hell would never have bought into Necromunda if I had known GW would stop supporting it, same reason when all my friends bough gorkka morrka I didn't by in, I knew the investment of hundreds of dollars would be wasted in just a while.

I have every version of Epic scale/Space Marine. First couple of editions they supported really well, the last one was gone before they could even finish it. I would not buy a new release unless I knew they were actually going to support it. I've seen too may GW games just disappear.

GW of today is a vastly different animal from the company 25 years ago.

Yes I know, GW used to create multiple games and support them, now its all just how can we kick the 40k horse over and over.

Epic was never intended to be a stand alone board game, it is a very crappy comparison. The rules in the latest version had force lists for armies not included, very clearly indicating the box set was a starter, just as a 40K box set is.

Necromunda and Gorka Morka, same things, they were never intended to be a stand alone board game.

Huge difference in starting a new system (like Epic or 40K) and buying a stand alone board game (like Space Hulk).

I guess I also don't understand the inability to play or enjoy a game like Necromunda because GW quit supporting it. It is either a fun game to play, or it is not. It honestly cannot be too darned difficult to stat out figures for your gang if you want to add to your gang. To consider buying into a fun game a waste because someone no longer force feeds you New Better Shiny just doesn't make sense to me.

Then again, I generally don't play a lot of systems that focus on a single company providing The Only Figures You Can Use, I tend to get either rule systems for which I can build armies I like from figures I have or want regardless of the company, or I buy board games that are pretty much self contained (like Space Hulk...)

I hope it's not limited this time... I just spent nearly £200 on FW models for my pre heresy Raven Guard so can't afford it this month but I'd love to own it in the future.

I'll only buy it if the Marines are Deathwing.

I always find that eBay is fair reflection of market value.
Seems there are two buy it nows currently for sale for £65-£95
But looking at completed auctions most sell for between £15 - £45

Panic...

I'll probably end up buying this one even though I bought two in 2009, although I did sell one set of terminators for more than the price of one box I guess I'll have a ton of stealers and three sets of tiles to make super hulks
