Perhaps an expansion for Space Hulk rather than a whole new boxed game...... All I know is that my gut says "maybe".

Well, something is coming, as that's the official GW youtube channel.
A lot of chatter about in on the net, and people that have been selling their SH box (the last one) have been old to hang on as the price has dropped.
Expansion would be good, but I can't see it as they'd only be able to sell it to those that bought the first box.

I know, lets sell an expansion for a game we no longer produce, was limited edition when we did produce it, and now goes for a lot of money on the second hand market. Good plan. (It's probably not going to be an expansion unless they rerelease the base game as well)

Yeah I didn't think that through, and I forgot that it was a limited release. why do another space hulk game though? What more can they do that they didn't already do in the last release?

Because they have idiots working there (not all of them, just a lot).

Ltd Ed Space Hulk sold because people wanted Space Hulk.
Ltd Ed Dreadfleet didn't sell, because people wanted Man'O'War.

But rather than see that as a reason to release games that people have asked for (M'O'W, Mordheim, Necromunda, Quest and Blood Bowl [maybe]) they assume if it isn't 40K based it won't sale.


All that, and SH helps sell 40K (especially if they put in a few rules for models that weren't in the last one), whereas something like M'O'W, even a proper one, doesn't lend itself to WFB sales.

And add some more rules (say Power Armoured Marines) and you can sell it again to those that bought the Ltd Ed.

And finally, why keep a Ltd Ed a Ltd Ed when you can sell it again (DA Sargent for example) in store and make more money.

As expected, just a re-release of the 2009 box with a few extras.

F*** you, Games Workshop, f*** you.

Simon I've edited your post. Please keep the language civil.

Clearly they decided they had to act fast before Mantic kickstarted a Nameless vs Enforcers on a derelict spaceship game.

If there was a like button I would have just pressed it.
