Space Hulk: future expansion sets?

[Hive Lord]

Any rumors or official news about expansion sets for this awesome game???

It would really depend on if the rumours that hulk will return as a permanet addition to the inventory are true or not. If it stays out of print, I don't think they will release anything. If they do bring it back in a non-limited form, I'd say they probably would.

Either way I'm still (slowly) making my own campaign

Rumour has it that Deathwing is next Mystery Box release.

Apparently the sales were so good that GW is thinking of re-releasing it for good.
Please note this information was supplied by a friend. I have no actual proof.

I was going through some old White Dwarves and I found the issue with all the rules for using imperial guard, Eldar, Chaos marines, Chaos Terminators. They are not really compatable with the new spacehulk as things stand. I'm gonna take a really good look and try and work out a good way to adapt them. I really like the idea of my elysians exploring a Hulk.

I don't see how they're not compatible, 3rd ed is basically the same as 1st ed + Deathwing and a few minor changes like guard and (which is a variation of the Harlequin's Defensive Stance) the Broodlord and the Librarian's powers.

They're not very good though, rather clunky and too many modifiers for my liking though, so I'd like to see another take on them.

I was told by a GW store manager that thelLimited release was it. Even with the immense sales they do not believe they can sustain it long term it and don not want it to go the way of GorkaMorka etc and i qoute him - " die a slow and ignoble death ".

I perosnally would lovw to see expansions etc but i do not thinks its going to happen.

I can tell you that there will be NO further releases in support of this game. It will not be released again. It was used as a financial 'shot in the arm' to GW which is exactly what they got. The only thing that may be done is an occasional scenario or download from GW but that will be it. Gotten this from several managers & staff members.

Oooh. I really want to find articles like that. What issue was it? How can I get a copy of it? Is that stuff contained in the Space Hulk Compendium?

I'd also like to find a copy of the rules from Genestealer. I mean, I don't need new expansions if I can get a hold of the old ones.

That is definitely the official position- no more Space Hulk.

I think it is possible for them to change their minds, though. It has happened in the past.

However, since Lord of the Rings, they've pretty much stopped supporting third games altogether, and are unlikely to bring Space Hulk back up.

The Genestealer rules are terrible - they massively slow the game down and add what is essentially a mini-game for the psychic phase. The only good thing about it was the big corridor board sections.
