If we get a new Space Hulk, I hope it reintroduces the advanced rules from Citadel Journal #7 "Space Hulk - The Designer's Cut" Previous editions have always left it out, yet it was made by late Richard Halliwell himself, so can be considered to be a "canonistical" addition to the ruleset

I think that would be a very nice thing to do.

The stealer looks a lot as a model from the last spacehulk minus the terrainpiece the model where attached to.

To be fair all stealers look like they are from Space Hulk - they are one of those models that has had very few revisions over the years in terms of changing their design.

Not many but there have been some. Modern stealers have more of a central ridge on their backs, this guy is more in the style of the old-school design.

Yeah and at one time you could add some armour bits or take scything talons instead of the hands. but in general they've remained very faithful even though the army itself has gone through some pretty big redesigns over the years

You are not wrong. Especially considering some of the changes to the tyranid range, stealers have remained relatively constant. This guy is a mix of old and new. He’s got the old back, but more modern defined head ridges.

He's absolutely what I want Genestealer Cult 'Stealers to look like, so hopefully more are forthcoming either in Space Hulk or a separate box.

Given that they got a new box last year, I wouldn't expect a new kit right away, unless it were for a dedicated Space Hulk game.

If there's going to be a new Space Hulk, I wonder if they'll finally go full 3D with the board.. Arks Of Omen style. Would make the boards differ from the classic 30mm squares of old to be sure, but I'm sure you could make things feel almost as claustrophobic with the AoO tiles or similar..

Would they do a new Space Hulk game? I wonder if they're planning to re-releasing the current game instead. Although, a new version with updated Terminators and malstrain Genestealers would be pretty awesome.

Space Hulk with a detailed 3d board would be a must-have game for me

I hope not. I like the Malstrain, but Space Hulk should stay pure(strain).

A connoisseur of an instant noodles diet, I see.

If they were to recycle Space Hulk again, they'd have to upscale the tiles anyway, since the 4th ed. scale Terminators from the previous edition already didn't fit on the tiles with regular bases, and now Terminators have been embiggened even further.

3D Space Hulk would cost a fortune, there's no way to get that into a box people could actually buy.

Best case is to go the Barnes & Noble Route and make Space Hulk into an AoS game. Sadly, I doubt they'd go with it since it is bigger than both Lost Patrol and Bloodchosen combined. There's also a problem in making the Sigmarines similar to termies(Skaven would be a no brainer: make Genestealers into Stormvermin).

Polite reminder the Barnes and Noble releases aren't available worldwide.

Polite reminder that some GW releases and magazines aren't available outside the UK.

Polite reminder some hero of the people that needs to stand waaaaaay back when going to the lav created a Facebook Group to address inequity of availability 🤣

Oh, which are those? Because Hatchett seem to release to the US a year or so later, Barnes and Noble seem to stock in the UK... never?

Besides the fact nobody in the UK is asking specifically for geo-locked releases, whereas I was replying to a direct request for that, albeit likely of innocent ignorance.

Blackstone Fortress has reappeared on the Warhammer site but is "available while stocks last".

In my opinion GW's best game to date, and well worth it if one is a Chaos Marine player. Treat yourselves if you haven't already.

Interesting, too bad none of the expansion stuff is there as well. Are a couple of those sets (like the Archivist) that I wish I would have gotten back when it was still around, but not enough to pay current ebay prices for.

Last I checked, WHW exclusives were available at the "Warhammer Cafe" (or whatever it was called, down in Texas), so please try again later.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why we advise you not to post on Dakka when you're drunk. Sheesh.

Last I checked Gibraltar is closer to the Tottingham Street Store in London than Grapevine is to the East Coast US. Unless they do mail order exclusives.

You are seriously underestimating the difficulty and practicality of going to Texas for a spot of shopping. The Warhammer Cafe is something I'd check out if I happened to be in Dallas on other business; it's hardly something most of us would go literally halfway across the country for.

Most people in the EU don't understand the actual size of the U.S.

I also wouldn't drive 9 hours straight south to buy one of the Exclusives.

Ok, time for a little math. Assuming 3.48 a gallon of gas, and an average of 25 MPG, driving to Dallas, Texas (780 miles)...

Round trip will be 1,560 miles

Calculating Gas Cost:
1. **Total Gallons Needed**:

\{Total Gallons} = \frac{\{Total Distance}}{\{Miles per Gallon}} = \frac{1560 \{ miles}}{25 \{ mpg}} = 62.4 \{ gallons}


2. **Total Cost of Gas**:

{Total Cost} = \{Total Gallons} \times \{Price per Gallon} = 62.4 \t{ gallons} \times 3.48 \{ dollars/gallon} \approx 217.66 \{ dollars}


Estimating Travel Time:

The driving time can vary based on traffic, speed limits, and stops. Assuming an average speed of 65 miles per hour:

1. **Total Driving Time**:

\{Total Time} = \frac{\{Total Distance}}{\{Average Speed}} = \frac{1560 \{ miles}}{65 \{ mph}} \approx 24 \{ hours}


In Summary,:
- Total Gas Cost: Approximately $217.66
- Total Driving Time: Approximately 24 hours (not including breaks or stops)

I think I'll just buy one second hand.

Valrak summary of marine stuff:

has heard that a new Darnath Lysander (Imperial Fists) model is on the way.
has heard that some "changes" are coming inside the Raven Guard (may not be accurate), but will also receive a new model - unclear who / what.
has heard that the Iron Hands will be receiving a new Terminator model; unclear if character or unit.
has heard that White Scars will be getting a new bike character; will allegedly be a jetbike.
has heard that a new Vulkan He'stan model (Salamanders) model is on the way.
currently hearing whispers regarding new Space Marine units; working to get more confirmation before discussing further.

also had some total war warhammer 40k stuff:

has heard that no Warhammer games were affected by the restructuring / shuffling that took place at Creative Assembly at this time, but that both the Warhammer and Star Wars teams were reinforced.
has heard (from a trusted source) that Friends and Family testing has recently taken place, and is targeting June 2025 for an official announcement.
soft launch / open testing in February 2026, with full release in Winter 2026

has heard that campaign map will be both galaxy (system) and ground; unclear if space battles will be available at launch, but most likely.
new mechanics being introduced; dogfighting (for aircraft), framework for walkers. Dogfighting originally designed for cancelled WW1 Total War.
factions; Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines, Orks, Eldar, with sub-factions available.

And you were using that model to try to prove your point that certain models aren't available outside of the UK. The possibility that it may be awkward for you to get to the venue outside of the UK where the model in question is available doesn't make your point valid, Major.
