Space Hulk Re-Release Imminent

They should just go whole hog and toss it up on kickstarter. No way this thing doesn't fund for multiple millions.

Space Hulk is a tight, tense and pretty minimalist design considering how well it conveys the theme. It feels like a suspense thriller where the pressure is always up and death around every corner. Since from the Terminator's perspective the game is all about efficiency, the scenarios do have some patterns that emerge especially since each scenario gives you the same list of Terminators to use.

Incursion is a bit more cinematic with a lot of action and plays a bit looser. I feel like it tries to fix some of the pattern development by giving options when selecting your forces and then adding in action cards that throw in some random events.

The memorable moments for both games:
-Space Hulk: I was the Terminators and we accomplished the mission, a few brothers had already fallen and my Librarian and one other were racing towards the exit. The Librarian kept Psychically sealing doorways to cover their rear while Genestealers were flanking their sides. Without a moment or Action Point to spare they finally made it out.

-Incursion: I was the APEs and I had to get someone somewhere (I can't remember what the exact situation was). Due to some extra command points and I think a card, my APE managed to move something like 12 spaces, just dancing around the enemy and also blast a few shots. This one move basically ruined the game for my Space Hulk buddy because it was outlandish. It's forever known as "The Super Play".

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.

It would have been great had this been true. Seemingly, it is not. GW opportunity missed.

Traded Space Hulk last year for DOA II and Pathfinder ACG. Haven't really regretted it but there's no way I won't jump back in for $125.

Another hobby that is becoming too expensive for me to purchase new.

S.

I heard a rumor that I started that Steve Jackson and Games Workshop are going to create a hybrid of Space Hulk and Ogre that will actually require a dedicated storage unit to hold the game. Transporting the game will require one of those 18-wheeler SUV conversions that were popular with NBA players a few years ago.

Nothing like needing a roll-off truck to deliver a game.

is this going to be a straight reprint, or are there likely to be any new additions?

Also, if the rumours are just based on that video, it would be funny if its just some new GW sculpts for the the regular 40k game.

On one hand, space hulk is the best game GW have ever released imo, and probably still the best in its genre. On the other, I have already played it quite a lot.

I have a flat backed Ford C8000 Fire Engine, I can pick up atleast two copies.

From what I understand its the same sculpts as the last edition.

Although I only played Incursion once, I like Space Hulk better. Not only better atmospshere, but I like the variability of a modular tile layout versus a fixed board.
