Because you can never have too many WH40K games! ;D

Sweet baby Jesus! Looks awesome. Love the customization. Definitely looks worthy of a buy.

The new Necromunda game looks pretty awesome as well.

It's Space Hulk, but this time with cardI MEAN WITH TACTICS! :D

And wow, Necromunda? 40K Mordheim, really? Ok!

Surely this means that old game trying to combine SH and Necro won't be too far behind.

We're going to be up to our kneecaps in moist loins at this rate.

My loins are totally liquefied.

Not a pleasant thought by any means :o

I'm still hoping for Total War: WH40K with battles involving entire legions.

I am kind of over 40k narrow dungeon games.
We have had 3 specific space hulk games in the last few years. Why is this any different... burnt out a bit here by cheap, unskillful 40k implementation.

Space Hulk
Space Hulk Ascension
Deathwing

Don't forget Deathwatch or whatever it was called.

...oops, too late. >:D

Actually, except for bugs and a total lack of multiplayer (or user modification), the first (modern) Space Hulk couldn't have been a much more faithful (initial) adaptation of the board game.

SH: Ascension made the game a little more PC-worthy, although also inflicting it with so much darkness as to artificially hamper the game. Still a good effort, though. Polished off some of the roughness of the board-game rules per se while adding functionality.

I've heard some people actually like Deathwatch (effectively a Space Hulk game though not called that), although I haven't been able to get into it myself. I'd call that cheap, maybe unskillful except for the character interactions.

Deathwing -- not cheap, by far, but a clunky and buggy mess that had to be super-patch released as a special edition to prior buyers (which I appreciated but still). It isn't too bad as a co-op FPS, but sucks pretty badly as a proper SH game. In that sense it's even vastly inferior to the first SH computer adaptation, and that truly glorious and genius little piece of software dates back literally to the days of Doom. I mean DOOM 1. :o

Beta for this game was released to all pre-orders yesterday. It includes the tutorial and first mission of the SP campaign and a few maps to play in SP skirmish or MP mode. I've only played the tutorial, but I really like what I see so far. I'm looking forward to playing as the Tyranids. Not an option we get in these type of games too often.

While I've pre-ordered long ago, I'm okay waiting for full release.

But we should do some mp games when the time comes, JH!

Definitely!

You have the will-power to resist?!?!
