Warhammer 40k & Warhammer Fantasy Battle News | Bell of Lost Souls: RUMORS: Space Hulk Chatter
Hurrah! This rumour thread is so much more productive than the Dark Eldar rumour thread. Things are looking promising!
No more NG spearmen, thanks! Now I need some pump-wagons!
I grow excited, I love Space Hulk and it will be a good introduction to the universe for my son, when he gets a bit older
Arch Overfiend & Grand Despot
I currently play:
Doom Eagle Space Marines
Hive Fleet Omega Tyranids
Goff Ork Boyz(dead)
Tau of O'me
Inquisitorial Xeno Hunters
and my attempted foray into fantasy
'Dark Angel Green' Dark Elves in need of fluff
Would be pretty cool, a WH40k based boardgame would be cool to play with friends who are not miniature gaming minded!
Got a "good" rumour from a GW staffer? Forget about it, LO'ers know more than any random GW shop staffer.

I can't wait... Space Hulk is brilliant for some quick and easy 40k action... I like the sound of plastic tiles too, as far as I'm concerned sod the nostalgia, bring me durability!
Hopefully we will get some AoBR style Terminators but I want the Heavy Flamer for toasty stealer steaks. It might be nice to get a Marine Captain in Terminator Armour and a Broodlord as well, but they might just overly complicate things for the basic game!
Hmm...I see the Same Terminators from the current starter box that are easy fit along with those Genestealer models from the Battle for Macragge. The Tiles are a toss up in my opinion. They'll ether go plastic tiles only like a board game to market to all people. or they'll use hallway pieces that are compatable with current terrain like the citys of death stuff. I would not be suprised if its a rule book like apocolips with seperate terrain that you can buy. It all depend on how their plaining on marketing it.
My vote is something like a starter set.

People should not expect to see a lot of custom stuff that they will have to assemble and/or paint themselves because it is FFG that is producing this (FFG have been licensed to produce any GW boardgames) and they will want to market it to all who like boardgames, not just we wargamers.
Considering the quality of FFG's Talisman remake I think we can expect a very good game.
Don't know if this helps the probabilityt of a Space Hulk rerelease but the Space hulk rules for Kill Teams is not able accesable. you get rediredted to the main page. I was able to get into it even after GW redid their web page.
Also i can't find the old rules online any more.
After seeing this thread I'm hopeful for a rerelease for Space Hulk now.

Well it IS coming. It's been known it for over a year now. Rather you should ask 'when?'. But that we do not know...
