Space Hulk Re-Release Imminent

When a mini comes along
You must dip it
Before the paint sets out too long
You must dip it
When something's goin' wrong
You must dip it

It's not too late
To dip it
Dip it good

But if it does something like use Deathwing Terminators rather than Blood Angel, or introduces Hybrids on the Genestealer side, or brings in the old Magus or Patriarch...Then I'll be first in line.

I'm going to make a prognostication, based only on gut feel:

It's not Space Hulk. It's SPACE CRUSADE.

^That would be pretty fucking surprising, but I'd love to see it.

Copied from an email I received from my buddy who stays up to date on this stuff:

The leak is out on what is in the new hulk box:

It is a re-release but with extras.

$125USD or €100/£75
English only this time around. No translations
Limited Re-release from the 2009 edition but with
-4 new scenarios
-The box contains new counters (boarding torpedoes, breach counters, damaged control room and turbo lift tiles)Box

Contents
35 Easy fit models
22 Genestealers, 1 Broodlord and 12 Space Marine Terminators.
189 board sections and gaming counters.
1 x Rulebook and 1 x Mission book containing 16 scenarios including 4 new ones.

And when is this stupidity due to come out? I need to prepare to not eat for 2 weeks.

Note: 12 Space Marine Terminators, no mention of the Librarian or anything.

I just hope they're not those retarded Dynamic Poses (TM) that look awesome and play like shit.

Well the original had 11 Terminators and 1 Librarian and being rumor mill stuff that's my guess.
Yeah, those dynamic poses sucked. Playing I actually longed for the signle pose Genestealers because they just fit better. That and rounded bases so you could actually nominate a front to the Terminators since that mattered.

I really hope that there's new models, that makes it more interesting to me. A few new scenarios...Not for $125.

... bring back Warhammer Quest, Ne cromunda, Mordheim, Gorkamorka and Blood Bowl ...

You know there's some fat cat at GW headquarters that has a proposal for re-releasing those games sitting on his desk...that he looks at and says "no...heh heh heh...make 'em want it" before lighting his Cohiba with them.

Throw Dark Future in on that pile too.

Glad it's coming back into print, really wish they'd offer an upgrade pack but I don't expect it from a company that puts sand into a bag, staples a card on it, and sells it for $15. I won't rebuy for the smattering of new content.

I _almost_ thought about selling mine some time ago...I rarely get to play it, even though it is one of the best games ever made and it's really easy to teach/manage/enjoy. But I took it off the shelf, opened it up and looked through and thought "no way in hell am I selling this". Even unpainted, it's one of the best productions of all time. Those embossed tiles, dang.

Really surprised they're doing it at $125...today's day and age they could retail it at $150 and I don't think anyone would bat an eye.

Okay... can someone objectively pit Space Hulk vs. Incursion? Obviously Space Hulk is going to win on theme, but what about the actual game play?
