Just found a version of the TearDown productions version of Space Hulk.
Works fine on Win XP
Seems to be a good, almost exact conversion for 1P

I must have sucker written on my forehead, after a decade of being free and clean of GW, all it takes is one look at the new genestealer minatures being released with the new ed of Space Hulk, and I turn into a feverish fanboy all over again.

The new Spulk minis are far & away the best minis GW has ever done, IMO...

I still prefer their totally multi-part models (because I love mixing & matching bits from lots of their ranges and doing heavy conversions) but for just-out-of-the-box-and-awesome? Yep, New Hulk beats everything.

I fully intend to do some fairly serious conversion of the new Spulk termies -- gotta change 'em from Blood Angels to Dark Angels, which apparently will involve removing up to 40 blood drop symbols from each one...

I'll probably take this opportunity to start an All-Black-Rage army. Mmmm.

| My copy of 3rd ed turned up yesterday, have to say it's so pristine I barely have the courage to even attempt using it. The board sections are beautifully illustrated (and slightly textured!). My friend seems to think the terminators are slightly undersized, but I haven't had chance to compare them as yet, still they are very nice. The whole think reeks of quality, my only critisim is the mission book, all updated with a few new twists there still pretty much the same missions as from previous editions. On the whole, worth £60? Unless you really like SH and don't already own your own copy, probably not. But if your a fan of the game and have the spare cash you'll buy a copy regardless, if only for the freaking genestealer comming out of the god-dam floor.

| Mine arrived yesterday as well. God it's beautiful! It's worth the £60 if you collect Blood Angels or Tyranids. Two far less attractive squads of 5 terminators would normally set you back £50 on their own, let alone the terminator librarian and the possibility to use the models as terminator captains... For nid players, 24 normal Genestealers would cost £45 and the Broodlord would be a further £12. The rules and missions are both pretty much identical to the original 1st edition game + some of the supplements. Think that was a deliberate move by GW? They are classics, after all. Don't mess with the best! And those floor tiles, with their semi-embossed thing? Beautiful. Especially the chapel room with all the raised skulls.
