Space Hulk Is Back! Full Contents & Details Within [Updated]!
September 9, 2014 by brennon
A new teaser appeared on the Games Workshop What's New Today page showing off a teaser for what is now certainly a new print run of the Space Hulk board game. We've had a bit of rumour mongering but now the actual information and contents have popped up online...
As you can see above the contents of the box are very much the same as the 2009 version of the game and once again you're getting a very nice looking and indeed quality product. I think my own version of Space Hulk is still certainly rock solid tiles wise and miniatures wise and those Terminators are still amazing. I have seen them pop up in plenty of different armies with their Blood Angel iconography filed off and changed to fit different Chapters.
In the new White Dwarf it appears as if the focus is on running the Beachhead mission and it shows off the tiles and everything very nicely indeed. As you can see there is even the Boarding Torpedo tile next to the one linked to the other tiles. Very neat.
Above shows off some of the tiles in the game including one of the new ones that is part of the Hard Vacuum mission. It represents a breached section of the Space Hulk that your Terminators must trudge through and it does have a nice design and feel to it giving you a claustrophobic feel.
As well as the actual release there is also a White Dwarf Exclusive mission that's called Disable the Shields. Looks like another neat little bit of content for the game and could serve to push on the longevity of the game more.
What's inside...
- English Only Re-Release of the 2009 Version
- 4 New Scenarios
- New Counters including - Boarding Torpedoes, Breach Counters, Damaged Control Room & Turbo Lift Tiles
- 32 Easy Fit Models including - 22 Genestealers, 1 Broodlord & 12 Space Marine Terminators
- 189 Board Sections + Gaming Counters alongside the rulebook with 16 scenarios.
So there you have it. A new run of Space Hulk complete with some added extras. Do you think you'll come down on the side of the Space Marines and run with the Terminators or side with the stealthy hordes of Genestealers. Also don't forget to check out the poll below!

Will you pick up Space Hulk this time around?

Fantastic! I hope it won’t be another limited edition though. They should either reprint the last one (maybe with new bits) or do a new one, and keep it on sale to replace the LoTR stuff as the other choice of games to buy from GW.
Great news :o) I missed out on the last edition and have not been prepared to stump up the cash on ebay for it…
I’d be surprised if it wasn’t a new edition since it sold out fairly quickly and is still very much in demand. I managed to get a copy of the latest edition and don’t care if they simply reprint it. It’s not a collector’s item to me, it’s a great game you play so get more copies out there for people to have fun with!
Unlikely variants on the game No2.
Space Sulk
Marvin the Paranoid Android is given the job of janitor aboard a huge abandoned ship with GPP doors from the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation
Bi-annual limited edition :o))
I don’t know why i feel a bit sad about it. It seems whenever GW needs a new flush of money, they sell Space Hulk :/ . How long will it be supported till they drop it again. Or is it another Christmas only “Space Hulk, Deadlfeet” sell thingy? I do like Space Hulk don’t get me wrong, but somehwo i have a “meh” feeling about it.
About time.
Limited edtion “as long as stocks last”.
Pretty bleh, but money saved then as i have it allready.
seeing as the last edition was so excellent and also had a ridiculously low print run, I would not be surprised if they simply reprint it.
Making new plastics is after all hideously expensive.
hmmm, I’ll be keeping my eye on this one 🙂 always loved space hulk 🙂
… will be interesting to see if it’s just a reprint, or has new minis ? 🙂
… considering how long GW works on their plastics before release ( up to 3 or 4 years sometimes )
it’s possible that this was being worked on long before the recent financial woes started ?
… either way, even if it’s just a simple reprint, then it will definitely make some people happy anyway 😉
The genestealers in the last box were brilliant – far better than anything for the table. Could have lived without the Blood Angels though – as a veteran of the original I yearned for something more neutral or for Deathwing (even if the fluff for them was unrecognisable compared to the curren)
It was confirmed now as a reprint, 4 new scenarios. box price is €100/£75/$125.
This week sees the release of a brand new edition of the iconic boxed game SPACE HULK.
•Contains everything you need to play 16 scenarios, including 4 totally new ones.
◦35 easy to assemble Citadel miniatures that do not require glue – 22 x Genestealers, 1 x Broodlord and 12 x Space Marine Terminators.
◦189 board sections and gaming counters, including the new boarding torpedoes, breach counters, a damaged control room and turbo-lift tile sections.
◦1 x Rulebook and 1 x Mission book.
Price 100€/75£/125$
Yawn! Space Hulk. Again. From GW’s POV it probably makes sense. It’s a game with modles that are or directly tie in to 40K. Got SH? Why not buy some Space Marines or Tyranids and have a go at 40K while you’re at it?
Necromunda or Mordheim would be more interesting. They are great skirmish games that could be produced in a very high production quality that would give the newer companies a run for their money. Imagine the quality of Nagash in a 28mm multi-part plastic model! The same applies for Necromunda. The problem for GW is that these two are “closed” games. At least they are in their previous iterations. Gangers don’t exist in the 40K game and Warbands are hard to move to full Fantasy units (you’d need a lot more models). Not impossible but not as easy as Space Hulk to 40K, in my opinion.
I’m all over the new skirmish games coming out these days. Operation Icestorm is on it’s way, two Malifaux crews are next on my kanban board and I have two first edition Warmachine starters still begging to be assembled and painted. I have to resist buying new and exciting games every month; Wolsung, Carnevale, Deadzone… There’s no end to great games.
If GW re-released Necromunda or Mordheim though, I’d be the first to preorder.
Until then, I will do with my 1st ed. Space Hulk, Necromunda and Mordheim and look at the non-GW skirmish games for future purchases.
It is easy money in the bank.
A sure seller, with all the work allready done.
I just hope some poor sod isnt sitting on a stack of the games at home waiting for the price to soar.
if they were sitting on a pile of boxes then serves them right. They speculated on a game, denying those copies going to people who actually wanted to buy the game to play it at the time. Not ‘poor sod’ … more ‘sod-em’!
I really hope there is. I couldn’t get a copy last time because it sold out before I could get one. Fuck em.
they could do 2 player starters for both Necromunda and Mordheim easily for around £40 each 🙂
I think they’d sell like wild fire 😉 I know I’d buy both first day 😉
space hulk seems like an interesting choice right now though 🙂
… maybe they are hoping to attract some board game players to the miniatures world with this 😉
… for that to work well though, they really need to make this a wide release, not limited….
If Necromunda was released it would sell out in moments, they would definitely make their money on that franchise and bring back quite a few veterans to the hobby. I would even buy it, and what they can do with scenery now, it would be awesome!!!
… we can dream at least 😉 ha ha
but yes, they’re definitely missing out on a game that would be a massive release 🙂
… the whole reason they stopped the specialist games division in the first place
was because they thought nobody played Necromunda, or Mordheim, Gorkamorka, etc, anymore : /
… without thinking logically, that if they don’t release any new products for them for 5 – 10 years,
then there’s nothing new for players to buy (X , X) ha ha
… just 1 year of releases like they did for Mordheim or Gorkamorka isn’t really enough to sustain a new game,
… people need more shiny things to play with 😉 ha ha
Sadly while Necromunda started out as an incredible and well supported game, it suffered a revised ‘let’s drop half of it and raise the price’ edition.
Without the 2 expansions and the original terrain, I wouldn’t touch it.
Ok. I’ve put my foot in it and pre-ordered anyway. I’m such a slave. :p
What did annoy me to no end was that it was already sold out, or “no longer available” on the online GW store yesterday morning (Saturday)! Are you having a laugh, GW!?
Luckily I managed to place an order at Wayland Games.
Next I saw that you can get expansion rules as digital downloads on iPad. Yay! For £10!? For a limited release game!? What? WHAT!? And they just tweak the Terminator rules it seems. No you can play Ultramarines, Dark Angels and Space Wolves as well!
I just bend down and picked up the soap. GW did it again and I willingly followed, like a sheep following the flock. My sole consolidation? Space Hulk is a fantastic game. Thank you Richard.
£10 for something that could have, sorry, should have, been in the box anyway for a game that is already overpriced, or a freebie PDF
I’d like to see a new Space Hulk if for no other reason that people can buy it without having pay through the nose on the secondary market.
Space Hulk is one of those games that I have played a few times but never actually owned. On the two or three occasions where I’ve had enough interest to buy a copy, GW has not had enough interest to sell me one so if this means I can finally buy one at retail prices then I’m pretty happy about it.
I would love to see a Descent-Like Space Hulk, something similar to what FFG did for Star Wars… but that’s just a dream 🙁
I own a copy of the last edition and can’t see me splurging out on another one again. Is it me or are GW just trying to clutch at straws to keep going? Thoroughly rinsed 40k last year to keep the balance books in the black and now this year we have WFB and space hulk to prop things up. Can we not get something more original or more interesting (blood bowl/mordheim/necromunda)
“Thoroughly rinsed 40k last year to keep the balance books in the black and now this year we have WFB and space hulk to prop things up.”
They didn’t keep the balance books in the black, though. They’re in the red so far this year. They need a guaranteed seller like Space Hulk. Hell, they need a few of these. I wouldn’t be surprised if this print run were a bit larger than the last one.
Erm, not they aren’t, unless you have some sort of magical insight into their finances that no one else does, GW are in profit (IE, “in the black”) based on last quarter and expect to finish the year in profit.
Why the need to be snappy? We are all friends here.. 🙂 GW’s profits took quite a nosedive last year by all accounts of their financial year-end results, and that was on top of significant cost reductions (hundreds of staff losing their jobs etc.), and a major re-launch of their main product line in 40k.
The plastics for this are already tooled, no need for expensive game writers and testers etc. In terms of expenditure vs. profit it’s a bit of a no-brainer, this will certainly result in a worthwhile cash injection into the company. GW putting a few extra missions in the book will probably even result in people re-purchasing what they bought 5 years ago, as there tend to be a fair few fans that are high on the disposable income and low on value-for-money perspective.
The results you’re talking about show a reduction in profits yes, but that year ended before the new edition of 40K, which wasn’t a major relaunch so much as a new rulebook (which aren’t high profit items), the cost reductions had already been put in place and they had a big new website to pay for as well as dividend payments for share holders. All in all, a pretty healthy outlook for a company and one that is sustainable.
Just because you read a blog by a bitter nerd who can’t afford all the plastic toys he wants that a company isn’t doing well, doesn’t make it true.
I can’t see them doing blood bowl. As they didn’t support it for so long others provided alternative teams. Some of which are beautiful.
All over this like a rash. Can’t wait!
Locally, there’s a feeling it might be nothing more than some terminator sprues in a box with some genestealer sprues and a little booklet akin to Stormclaw. Maybe with Plastic special characters like those included in that box. Blood Angels do still have a 5th edition codex…
Outpost gaming store in Sheffield are advising they’ll only have 24 copies for sale, so this is definitely limited.
Where is the Outpost please Ben?
Is it in the old GW shop just off the bottom of the Moor.
(Not a you are likely to find in Othello)
*not a line you are likely to find
I’ve only ever bought from them online (their customer service is exceptionally good). This is where they are –
http://the-outpost.co.uk/about-us/how-to-finds-us.html
Not sure. If it isn’t the old GW store it is very close to where it used to be
Just wondered if someone took the joint over
Call me a conspiracy theorist if you like but;
– AvP was originally due for release in May, now GW were busy with 7th Ed 40k at that point.
– AvP got put back to late Sept…. a new Space Hulk is a quick win for GW as they don’t exactly need to do a lot to update it
Was this originally timed to compete with AvP?
Nope, no one who hasn’t already paid for AvP will buy AvP, there is nothing to compete with.
Not so sure about that, the AvP license still carries a lot of weight. Also, believe it’s going on a more general release with plastic miniatures, Space Hulk is no doubt only going to be available for a limited time and in limited quantities, and from much more limited locations.
We’ll see, I don’t think it will sell well as the people interested backed on kickstarter, and seriously? AvP carrying weight? From what? The terrible movies or the last terrible video game?
Yes you won’t get any arguments from me about the movies being terrible! – but, the fact that there are at least 3 new movies in the pipeline (new Aliens, Predator and Prometheus), new games (new Alien one in a few months, possibly more?) shows that there must still be money in the franchise, even if some of those releases get a critical mauling.
Fox are putting a fair bit of effort into the AvP boardgame – if they do get an easy-click assembly plastics for the main release (which I believe is planned) then it will probably find its way into toy-stores and the sales of the game will be substantial, far beyond the game-starved 40k fans and GW old-timers who are going to be looking forward to the Space Hulk release. And it’s not like you can stuble onto Space Hulk as it has literally no visibility outside of GW’s closed circle, thanks to their complete lack of marketing.
Just my 2p worth anyway, AvP may of course absolutely tank.. 🙂 But, TBH I was playing essentially the same game as this Space Hulk when I was in school and listening to ‘Prodigy – outer space’ and ‘2unlimited’, I’ve fired a flamer template to kill the techmarine at least 50 times, so on the basis that I want to try something new you can guess which game I am looking forward to the most 😉
How many times can you release something before you get taken to Trading Standards for calling it a limited edition …..
They never called it a limited edition.
A limited print run is not the same as a limited edition.
They can do this as many times as they like, the ‘limited’ tag is about creating a hype to encourage people to spend their money asap.
However on other occasions did you hear the one where GW ‘announced’ and asked their shop staff to say that they were running out of limited editions of other box sets (DV, Hobbit) containing exclusive models – only to see stocks of those editions still in shops months later; that’s just dumb lying that loses a company any integrity and trust (well I’ll never trust them anyway and have spent a total of £3 for a pot of paint in GW over 18 months now.
Hearing about something online is not the same as it actually happening.
Even if it is a limited edition I am not sure there is going to be a case to answer.
A limited 2nd edition isn’t going to be much of a trading standards breach.
It would be disappointing to miss out a second time, but don’t see what could be done about it.
Personally I would just go elsewhere for a space dungeon crawl
Seventh Level: Omega Protocol for one.
Galaxy Defenders looks pretty darnned good for another
*Darned or damned. You get to chose
Sigh I wish they would re-release Epic 40K in a box set as it’s something I missed out the first time and would love to give it a try
I would go for that one already got Spacehulk I, II, plus the two first extension boxes
They could use the money.
Other companies release stuff like epic and call it dropzone commander. Don’t get me wrong – I’m not saying they ripped the idea or stole it. I mean, there is a market for games that have a scifi background in smale scale. With the technical development since the last release, GW should be able to bring out a fantastic game that brings some new people to the hobby and some lost souls back again. Mortheim seems a little bit like carnevale to me. A game on a skirmish level with rpg aspects, narative playing. I was at the point to start with 40k and spend quite a lot of money on it (like everyone else here I guess), but the whole discussion about the politics of GW, the way they ignore customer voices drove me in the arms of x-wing and infinity. Two games for the price of one, less space needed to play and some extra money left to invest into a nice starter set of another game, or this space hulk stuff which I never played but heard a lot off.
at last
hash40k I think you’re right – looking back it seems it was called a limited run – different beast altogether …
I’ll definitely be picking this up again, I have the limited release from 2009. I had some great games with my brother in law, so I will probably gift this to him so there’s a box at his place for us to play when I visit.
Seems a bit of a shame when there are so many other systems GW used to produce that could use some love now. Still, since they probably still have the moulds, or at the very least the 3d files from the last print run, it makes financial sense.
I must admit that, like a scorned lover, part of me wants to see it fail.
They should bring back DARK FUTURE! I can guarantee everybody will want to be a road warrior after the new Mad Max film. Loved that game and the cars / minis.
As terminators are now on 40mm bases, will we see the tiles on the board get bigger to accommodate?
Im really excited about this, Spacehulk and Bloodbowl are the only GW games my wife will even entertain the idea of playing…
peachey all of the terminators and genestealers in the 2009 release came with bases as part of the mold so they fit on the tiles.
Looking forward to finally getting a copy of this. Missed out on the last one and no way I was going to pay the silly prices people are asking on eBay.
As for all those folks who are sitting on stacks of them trying to make a killing on them… haha. Serves you right for trying to deny people access to it unless they want to pay your extortionate prices. Hope you bought lots of copies of Dreadfleet too.
I never actually got around to playing Space Hulk, but it has always been something I have been interested in.
Maybe this time around I will get to see what all the fuss is about.
I think GW have been short sighted in not revamping Warhammer Quest. look at the prices they go for on ebay…an instatant cash cow! Now they’ve missed out with Mantic producing Dungeon Saga with such a great kickstarter response.
Mantic just had an amazing kickstarter for Dungeon Saga but I doubt very much whether that would have impacted on the ability of Warhammer Quest to sell. I backed Dungeon Saga, I would still have bought WHQ – if only for nostalgia!
Any word on the rrp?
Apparenly £75. Think I saw it on Warseer.

Thanks 🙂
Isn’t it about time we reported GW for animal cruelty. The way they flog that poor horse is despicable.
OK. I am glad that I gave two of my three “limited” editions away on our blog. I would feel bad if I still had them. GW needs money really badly it seems.
It is a cool box, though. Just don’t buy more than one.
ha ha. Well, if flogging that poor horse allows myself and countless others to finally enjoy Space Hulk after missing out last time, then keep flogging it GW for its screams cannot be heard over my cries of joy! 😀
Hi, this probably a daft question but has anyone seen anything about GW giving those that this version of the game the chance to buy the new components/missions?
Sorry ants, it is a daft question.
of course that won’t happen! 😛
If GW had been serious about board games they would not have made Space Hulk a limited edition (seriously what was the point of that other than to charge silly prices which they will do anyway)
Then they could have released expansion packs with new factions and scenarios.
I might have been up for that.
Should just let FFG have the licence so it could all be done properly.
Please :
Introduce Other Factions (21%, 12 Votes)
AND Don’t Make It Limited Edition
AND Multiplayer And/Or Solo Play (A.I Decks)
AND Add Dreadnoughts!
AND Just Bring Back Warhammer Quest!!!
Or re edit Warhammer Quest in the form of a Warhammer 40K Quest…
That would require a bit more creativity though…
If you are after a ‘dungeon delving’ game would thoroughly recommend Descent (2nd edition). It’s great fun, and available now. There are also others on offer, and a re-launch of Heroquest 25th anniversary and Mantic Dungeon Saga early next year.
Agree though it would be nice for GW to actually be a ‘games workshop’ and release more than the same thing over and over again. I was playing this game at middle school 25 years ago 🙂
That’s why I suggested a kind of 40K Quest (like Relic versus Talisman). Of course Star Wars Rebel Assault from FFG will soon occupy this niche as a Descent Like Sci Fi Dungeon Delving game. But I think the 40K IP is still a nice spot and it would be a perfect introductory system, with enough expansions, if they don’t want to release a skirmish game.
The thing is that we have to pay for the “Limited” when is not even limited! AND WE DON’T WANT IT TO BE! -.-
I hope FFG take this game, use miniatures from GW range and make a great game Descent-Like, that’s all i want. I never played Space Hulk, i might buy the videogame on steam but i don’t have much interest in buying a overprice boardgame that will come out again in a few years. They should support their own product a lot more, i feel for what i heard so far that many people are far more interested in Space Hulk than Lord of the Ring as a miniatures game. Maybe both should be made into dungeon crawlers, same for Warhammer Quest… a friend of mine is crazy for Hero Quest, i don’t like it much really compared to others but is clear that there is a interest for this kind of games and dgs are an easy entry point into miniatures for many people that you want to show them what is this all about.
Space Hulk isn’t a miniatures game, its a board game, a really good board game,
It’s a mediocre game that’s popular because of it’s theme. when it comes to board games Space hulk is near the bottom of the list of games I’d want to play. Adding a whopping 4 missions and a couple of card pieces for an extra £15 is just milking it’s playerbase.
Still better than eBay prices but hardly a positive move!
Its a good game because of the theme, that makes it a good game. Theme is important.
Theme is important, you are correct. And I agree theme is very strong in Space Hulk. More important though are mechanics and gameplay and that’s where Space Hulk falls down. The game is far too random and it’s weighted too much in favour of the Genestealers. One unlucky jam and it’s game over for the Marines, regardless of how tactically placed your Terminators are (And that’s without pointing out that Terminators are supposed to be the biggest, toughest Marines of any Chapter. In Space Hulk that really isn’t represented very well.)
Almost all hobby and specialist board games are on a limited release, people are talking about Fantasy Flight taking it over as if they never have things go out of print and wait to make a new print run of it a while down the line. Try buying an X Wing expansion for the X Wing miniatures game right now.
I can walk 50 yards up the road and buy one. Well, not right now as the shop is shut.
And you said it yourself. The X word…
Expansion.
Which indicates support by the publisher for a game. Not well there you go 1000 copies (or whatever paltry numbers of Space Hulk were released) then sold out in a fortnight or buy on ebay for a king’s ransom.
Of course things go out of print. But it is ridiculous to suggest that it is the same as the way GW went about publishing the game.
Its not unusual for a board game to go out of print for many many years to wait for the demand to be back, fans of euro games will tell you that.
Its not feasible for a game like Space Hulk to be in production constantly, or even in faster waves, its not big enough.
Even X wing, which is a miniatures game that encourages new purchases can’t keep everything in print, if your local store over stoked, they might possibly have X Wings available, but currently, they’re out of print and not due for a few months.
A few months. Really? As long as that?
With respect, having to wait a few months for some X Wing ships to roll back into stock after a normal production run, and being told there will be only a certain amount of a game printed and then who knows if and when it will ever appear again, are not in the slightest the same thing.
Yes a few months, next run is expected Q4 2014, you can check on FFs website
It’s just to illustrate how companies deal with demand and creating a shortage, FF does it with other games, that go out of print for years to turn up again at some indeterminate in the future. It’s the way of board games.
There may be a turnaround in GWs policy with this release of Space Hulk.
But can you seriously tell me you are confident that will ever happen?
Look at the way the two company’s records
We all know that board games go out of print, just not usually within such a short space of time.
There is absolutely no doubt that FFG would support Space Hulk, because that is what they do with games.
GWs track record of supporting their games is, as many have testified here and elsewhere, absolutely useless.
Can buy nearly all of them in my flgs – they stocked up. But in general you point stands.
I was lucky enough to find a copy back in the first run. I don’t want to buy the same game again but i would like the new content. They should make a content box and sell it to original owners as an expansion.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gOrdOl6xoRc To get everyone in the mood, here is a brilliant fan made Space Hulk animation. Contains a tiny bit of bad language and a smidge of cartoon violence, but very funny nonetheless.
I will deffinitely picking one up! It would be nice if they keep it going as opposed to a limited edition release.
Shame they didn’t add the excellent extra rules from the old expansions. That’s when the game really came alive with hybrid cultists and the ability to construct your own squads along with some small changes between the different chapters and so on. Maybe that’s something in the works though along with this rerelease?
GW and FFG really dropped the ball when they didnt just rerelease, or released a new version of, Warhammer Quest instead of that failed Third Edition of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. It was what everyone was waiting for.
Also, when do we get a reworked Space Crusade? I understand that there might be some issues as it was with Hero Quest but just pull a Warhammer Quest and make a totaly-not-Space Crusade. I understand FFG might not be to up on making something to compete with their new Star Wars miniature game, also GW don’t want FFG to deal with the miniature side of things, but please just give us a Space Crusade and Warhammer Quest already. Please!
Keep seeing GW should bring back this, that and Space Other!
The GW fixation never ceases to amaze.
What ever the game, am betting that a good to excellent equivalent exists and better still, likely to be supported by the publisher.
GW are not the centre of the board game universe.
In fact when in comes to board games, they are in the outer reaches
Brand loyalty is a powerful thing.
I agree entirely. Although (and I don’t support GW often) they tried releasing something new with Dreadfleet and the fanboys hated it because it wasn’t Man O’ War. Which is a shame because its actually a fun game. More fun than the incredibly one-sided Space Hulk that’s for sure!
They almost had it there with space hulk resurrected and missions in white dwarf … and then the “limited edition” BS. They almost showed real support for a product people have asked for. Where are the hybrids? Magus? Patriarch?
this should fire me up to get painting some different mini’s.
With my Dark Angels I should be able to run those models instead if I paint them up to give a bit of contrast.
For Sale: one copy of Space Hulk ‘Classic Edition’ for sale; as good as new.
Special features: the tiles etc. have been punched out for you and the models pre-assembled saving you masses of time and fingernails.
Running out of stock soon ( 1 left ) … £150 anyone?
😉
This is just nice. Everybody wanted more of those terminators… Yaaayy!
Man my heart goes out to those guys that paid stupid prices on ebay to get what they understandably assumed was a product that would never be released again in that format… Harsh…
You perhaps should save your sympathy for some poor sap that really needs it
If someone is willing to drop way over the odds on a game then they don’t need anyone’s pity.
Am sure their lives were not considerably impoverished before getting hold of a copy.
You may not agree but it is still true.
And always will be unless you are an obsessive jerk with more money than compassion.
I’ll be getting this. The nostalgia factor is high.
Now lets see a deathwing and genestealer expansion, ffs
I am quite disappointed about this.
It brings next to nothing new to the table.
The only thing that could make pick this up would expansions into new factions or at least new unit types for the existing ones
But GW has narrowed their games down to 40k and fantasy, completely loosing touch with their customers who want to enjoy their universes from more than one perspective. They just dont understand the long term benefits of having a deep universe both in game and novel form. One game will inspire people to play another within the same game worlds.
Start showing real support and enthusiasm and get off your high price horse, that is free advice GW
I already have one. Actually, I have two. Both are the original 1989 edition.
I kinda fail to see why I should buy this again.
Then don’t?
It has lovely models and really nice printed tiles, otherwise the game is essentially the same, it’s just as good but with better models.
I wish they brought something new like boxed Epic or Blood Bowl in unlimited runs with perspective for expansions.
I am surprised at the polls wanting them to reissue Warhammer Quest. Right now we have so many Hero Quest clones I do not think it will make business sense to rerelease Warhammer Quest.
FFG:
Descent
Mansions of Madness
Imperial Assault (Q1 2015)
Flying Frog Games:
Shadows of Brimstone
Finally there is an attempt to revive HeroQuest itself which is in a legal quagmire now.
Very true, but there are a lot of newcomers to the hobby, who have perhaps only know of wargames through GW, that won’t be aware of their existence.
Re. Heroquest from doing some reading around it would seem that a Spanish (and by extention, EU) release is likely. But, you’ve got that horrible little man who owns the RPG ‘Heroquest’ rights in the US saying they are going to be ripping open boxes on import to the country.. not sure how our North American & Canadian cousins will fair with the release, one hopes that some sort of compromise would be reached or at the very least have the game packaged in non-Heroquest branded boxes just for the people who supported the crowdfunding project and have already paid for the goods.
Could anyone please tell me if these miniatures are the same size as the wargame? Can i use them in 40k..?or only for this boardgame?
Yes you can use them as 40k miniatures (in fact, a lot of people already do).
Other way around it’s a little more difficult, due to the large size of the 40k terminator base, and the smaller squares on the board (although, again, people have re-based standard terminators onto smaller bases for this reason).
