I never unwrapped the last one (not because of collector's value or anything, I just never got round to playing it) so I'll probably pass, unless there's new sculpts.

Obvious cash grab, GW are running out of ideas.

Or quickly toss it on eBay and buy 1-2 new ones

Yes, but as for a Cash Grab, this looks to be a good one.

GW's putting out Space Hulk again and we're complaining about it? Geeze.

I'll fault GW for a lot of things, such as their lack of any creativity lately.. but selling models is what they do, at least it's not another BOOK but actual decent models.

I wish they did this more often. I would love fore them to remake all of there other ones this way. If they sell out quickly, they might start making/Re-Releasing more of there old stuff.
Imagine Necomunda or Mordhiem with this kind of plastic models.

Makes me feel bad for doubling my money on two copies (one of which was open and had been played with extensively) from when it was last released.

More an observation. I've already got Space Hulk, it'll be good for people who haven't. Perhaps this should be a wider lasting release, get it into the wider market and not just dedicated game shops. As it is, rereleasing a one shot again after only a few years does smack a little of short term desperation. Clearly they're looking at the profits and have decided they need some cash fast and pushing out the limited release that did well a few years ago is just the ticket. If they refuse support and limit the release so as to be difficult to obtain, they'll just make the same mistakes again.

Hope its the same as the last one, I ruined a few of the terminators, could do with another set.

Got to love how they give the people what they want, yet the bitter still moan on !!

Just sold one for 160 US a few weeks ago, used.

I felt a little guilty. Now I feel kind of bad for the buyer.

Guess I can pick up this version as well, and let it sit in my closet for years on end before I decide to get rid of it, and start the process anew.

Still would prefer WH Quest, but I guess I'll take what I can get.

You are in luck. I cannot confirm, because it's not "go loud" day yet, but rumors have it that it's the same models, different missions, different boards. I of course am just repeating crap i heard on the intrawebs and not confirming anything i'm not supposed to talk about.

It's not 125.00 US either, making this up.

I'll be grabbing one. I used to love Space Hulk back in the day. I would hope it wasn't going to be a limited release and that they would get it put in big market stores.

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.

It doesn't stop me, I still play Necromunda when I can, and am currently working on terrain and miniatures for it.. The real problem is that most people do have a problem with it....and so finding someone who wants to play, much less scour ebay for either their own copy of the rules/official figs/terrain, is rather a pain. They want a game that is officially supported and getting frequent (or at least steady) updates and new shinies to add too. Doing everything custom is an option, but again, a significant time investment in converting/building new terrain....Luckily, at least for Necromunda, there are some core 40k products out now that can work...but again, I think it's more a mental thing...it's the "if I put all this time and effort into this, will I even have anyone that wants to play it 2 months from now?" conundrum.

The way this relates to Space Hulk, a stand-alone board game (as people are putting it), is that back in the Golden Era of GW ( I'd say the mid-1990s ) All of their games got continued support, if not with official expansions or miniature waves, then in articles in White Dwarf (I just bought my first 'new' WD last week....boy what a sad comparison to the hobby mag from the 80s-90s). 1st ed Space Hulk had many articles published showcasing Terminator units/missions from the 'Big Four' (Ultra Marines, Blood Angels, Dark Angels, & Space Wolves). These gave a little fluff backstory, some custom board layouts, and occasionally a new rule, or new tiles to add to the game. Eventually these were compiled into the Space Hulk Campaigns hardcover book that is much sought after by collectors these days. We even had 2 expansions, Deathwing and Genestealer. Even when 2nd edition was released, they had several mission articles in WD to support the game.

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

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

I'd love to see Deathwing done up in the new edition of Space Hulk. The original 1st ed expansion box was what got me into 40k, and my first army (Dark Angles).

I'd defiantly pick up space hulk. I missed it last time it was released,

IMHO space hulk should just be something that's in stores (GW and anywhere that sells minis board games or RPGs) as a gateway game.

By diligent scouring of ebay (and refusing to buy any priced over acertain amount) I have ended up with almost all 2009 terminators. If this re-issue helps me acquire the Librarian or the Lightning Claw guy without spending £15 - 20 per model, then I say bring it on.

2009 is a hell of a lot of terminators dude

I managed to pick up a second copy with a badly damaged corner (from a drop) for the original retail price ($100) a couple years back...I wanted the extra tiles and extra genestealers...I was in the process of converting the original BA terminators to Deathwing, and had no need for the second set. My best friend, whom I get to see maybe once a year, collects BAs though, so guess what surprise he got for his birthday?

I owned the 3rd edition Space Hulk, so my opinion has a vasted interest. Having said that, here's my reaction to the Rerelease of Space Hulk:

1. I really hope it is NOT a re-release of 3rd edition with same models, GW back in 2008 promised its a one off release of the boxset. I will reflect negatively to those customers who purchased it based on the limited avaliability.

2. I hope it is a new Space Hulk 4th edition, with new models, tiles and missions.

3. I do wonder the pricing of the boxset SH 3rd was sold for $118CAD back in 2008. I wonder what price set 4th will be. My guess it will be at least the price of stormclaw, at $150CAD.

Sure is! (I need to proof read...)

I didn't really see it as a complaint at the fact SH is coming out more so just a statement of the fact.

My local Store (not GW) have been 'Conditionally Allocated 3 copies" and no more. They've advertised it on their FB page (no Piccies or details) First come first served!

Really? Dammit, if that's true and it's extremely limited again I'm unhappy as I'm not going to have money this weekend to preorder it anyway and so I'll more than likely miss out on it... yay.

Literally just sold my copy [without terminators] on Sunday, dunno what made me put it up on Ebay, just saw it collecting dust and thought it was time. Feel a little bad for the bloke who bought it.

Hope this is a completely new edition, if it's pretty much the same as last time it's gonna piss a lot of people off. Wonder if the release date being around the same time as Operation Icestorm is coincidence?

darn my 2 boxes from the last version are in storage... no chance to put them up on ebay

My usual online indie has posted up he's getting 24 copies only , I may bypass online discounters and just get it from GW this once as I can see demand being massive.

Sorry , the only people who this annoys are the speculators killing the hobby.

The important decision remains: One copy or two?

Got two last time; one fairly cheap at a local comic book store.

Two sounds about right. Let's buy two copies.
