These kind of games are always gonna be fun, and even if it isn't; i cant see this not being worthwhile to get even if the rules suck as long as there are cool stealers, termies, and especially 3d plastic ship interiors. Just think of the awesome gameboards you will be able to make, i would use it for normal 40k and kill-team games too.
Also, how hard would it be to combine or link games of battlefleetgothic, space hulk, and planetstrike games of 40k.

"oh, your going to call down a rok with your strategic asset? not if my termies can disable your tractor beams by turn 3."

If this is true then that would be awesome. However (and this is just conjecture here) does anyone remember the movie rumour from last year? It said that a movie would be released on DVD in september of this year. Might it be a Tie in with Space Hulk? Just a thought. Oh and if anyone else has thought of this then I apologise I don't want to step on anyones toes.

They did something about khorne right?? But if i remember right it was kind of heavy, and would therefore scare of the kids!!!

Im going for the sliding doors :)

Got it in one. Unpainted plastic and tons of kit to assemble makes for a very unappealing boardgame unless they're just aiming at a (percentage) of their 40k players.

is anyone else thinking what i'm thinking space hulk terrain for the badab BoLS book it would easily pass as a space marine ship surely and the rules would work along side perfectly

Anyone remember seeing that green of the broodlord with feeder tendrils on Warseer? Because I do.

And if they have included full plastic characters in Assault on Black Reach and Battle For Skull Pass, I don't think it'd be out of the realm of possibility for them to include maybe a Terminator Captain and his Broodlord adversary.

Also, agree with some others: the timer would (should) be the only thing GW makes that needs batteries.

There is a Forge World Sentinel Power-lifter which should do exactly what you want it to do. :D

Well in Aliens, we have facehuggers, bugs and the queen,

So with SH, we could have Rippers, Stealers, and broodlord.

I dont know what could be a power lifter apart from a dread, which would be a bit silly.

The only thing I can see GW adding to the original teams, and the only thing I'd WANT to see them add, is a Broodlord. It seems perfectly fitting to use as a "boss creature", plus it fits the whole "Aliens" vibe- although then we'd need a Sentinel Power Lifter too...

I really hope that if this rumour is true, the following is done:

- Loyalist and Traitor Termie rules (to allow for 3 player all in brawl).

- Not just Genestealers, but guants or some other leaser nids included.

- & some boss type nid (say a Zoat or something unique to this box set)

I just think, given that 'stealres are now elite nids, other nids should be chucked in for some variety.

Just don't Roll "ONEZIE"!!

Anyway, I was concidering getting a 4th edtion book for kill team rules, and ebaying a space hulk, how ever Space Hulk may be just that (espicaly because the rules and 'Space Hulk' kill team are gone from GW site) As for batteies, I think, other than a timer, these are pure fiction. However all the other goodies, including plastic corrdors and rooms are cool!! Also if it's rule system is eather A: like 40K or B: you can addapt 40K rules for it; ALL factions can play, that will be sweet

Am I the only one to have spotted a potential marketing failure in this rhumour....

Plastic corridoors woop! amazing! brilliant! fantastic!

Now tell me, do your models look "woop! amazing! brilliant! fantastic!" when you take off that clear film of a new box of whatever and open it? or do they look like bland grey plastic thats gunna really need some work.

I cant see GW going prepainted just yet... would they go as tacky as stickers?

Will children open this on christmas day, look at the box in delight and then open it, look at a mess of grey plastic, shove it to one side and break out a football or something.

Plastic corridoors sounds awesome to a modeller who already builds and paints his terrain but to someone grabbing this as the standalone awesomeness that it used to be I can smell fresh, grey, disappointment.

Its your move GW, roll a six and make it a good one.

Sathos — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 22:13:44 -0000

lol

I have been desperately trying to think what they could possibly want batteries for in a 40k universe game.... if its for the flashy doors I can see the game costing £100 which would quite frankly be a joke.
tacky led lighting in the corridoors?
talking battleship sfx?

or maybe it will have a built in c d player with that album by bolt thrower....

Sathos — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 22:10:47 -0000

Depends on the definition here of "GAMERS" ... frankly I feel it should be done the same way the original was, a tantalising glimpse at 40k whilst actually being almost nothing to do with it thus redefining to "BOARD GAMERS" ie father and son bored on a saturday night and dont fancy another game of monopoly this week...BANG the ultimate sci-fi assault game!!!!!!!!!

or similar lol. I must say the idea for plastic corridoors unless prepainted seems a bad one as you will just end up with an extremely bland looking game by today's standards.

Unless they are aiming it at us, the players of 40k.... okay, why bother? a small variant rulebook would do as we have the kit already unless they are thinking more like assault on black reach style.

Angelic Despot — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 21:10:08 -0000

Same here. I remember those great adverts on tv... I loved the game. In fact; I introduced it to my 10 year old cousin a few months ago. He had a few 40K figures but wasn't really getting the game. He loved it, bought a copy on ebay... And I'm seeing him again tomorrow to have another game.
I don't know why GW don't do something similar these days.

oops forgot normal space marines as well.

Re: RUMORS: Space Hulk Chatter

Mr. Pants — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 11:05:29 -0000

Imperial guard, eldar, eldar harlequins, chaos space marines, traitor terminators, even tyranids before genestealers were part of the tyranid list.

Lots of kooky stuff was thrown in there. But the added stuff never matched the eloquence of the original game or the deathwing expansion. They all paled in comparison.

Its one of the reasons why I really hope that the game is just termies and stealers. It would be nice to include other races, but the mechanics get bogged down and the frail yet perfect balance that the original had get easily compromised.

Eldar put in via Citadel Journal #5, article by Ian Pickstock.

I'm sure I saw IG in somewhere too, but I'll concede that one as I can only find peoples online rules for them.

I'll be looking at it not only for the rules, but also for the possible use with Necromunda.

I'll probably buy 2, one to paint up the miniatures for, then swap them for the unpainted ones in the second box when my nephews open it on Christmas morning so they can set down and play right away.

Nothing says Merry Christmas like stormbolter fire.
