Yeah I would LOVE to see WH titles on GOG too, but somehow I do not think this is coming any time soon.

Using the figures on a square grid.
The only GW game with these figures on a square grid IS space hulk!
My assumption was a home made mission....

Yeah, but Eastern Europe being a pirate's haven, have an answer for that too.
In Serbia they have made casts of original figurines and are making GW stuff for third of the price.

EDIT: Here's a treat for all Space Hulk fans.

It started as a Space Hulk tribute, but GW shut it down and made them remove all the Warhammer 40K refrences/art out of it. Fortunately I have the first version before the lawsuits started flying, but it is still the same game at it's core.

I really doubt that any of the Warhammer games would show up on a DRM free site. They would be far more likely to show up on Steam IMO, given the fact that both Space Marine and Dawn of War II require that DRM.

< Oh, I did not know that. I'll have to try that the next time I decide to play the game.

My problem with the game was the limited map selection and poor AI. The game just got too repetitive after a while. As an entry level TBS I guess it is alright, but it lacked any real depth. The cutscenes though, they were great


It just keeps crashing when I try to start a mission. How did you get it to work?

Space hulk is the only GW game that has a recent release that uses a square grid. There are plenty of older games that used square grids (Warhammer Quest, HeroQuest, Space Crusade and some none-warhammer games from the 80's).

THe quest games were fantasy based & Space crusade didn't use Terminators.

I just put the Cd in & it runs....

And there's a whole mod section where people have made Space Marine chapter packs, Space Hulk themed tilesets, Tyranid sets and all that goodness. Lots of missions from all 3 editions of the board game, too.

I just wish they'd run another print run of Space Hulk 3rd Edition. I want that damn game...I don't want it enough to drop $400 to buy it on Ebay.

It runs fine, but you have to make sure the sound settings are correct or the digitized sounds play at double speed.

Ah, a slight reading comprehension failure from my side, I missed the "those" part.

Odd, mine just flat out refuses to work. Might be some hardware incompatibility going on.
It is that expensive? You might as well just track down a first edition box then, apart from the psychic system, and the brood lord, 3rd edition is just a tweaked 1st edition SH, with a few more missions, and THE best terminator models GW has ever done (I'm not as keen on the new Genestealer design)

Hehe, I managed to buy it when it crop up in Poland about 2-3 years ago at $100. It was one of the most expensive spontaneous purchases I've ever made... Of course this game shares a fate of my GOG collection - it sits hidden in my wardrobe waiting for a proper time :-) But I really hope one day me and my son will play it.

I wonder if TET was aware all those nuances when choosing figurines for his performance :-)

Whoa many replies here :)
Thanks AFnord for the list of games. Shadow of the horned rat runs very good now :)
I never thought that the PC version had these awful pixelated battle graphics .. i think i will buy a PS1 version instead XD

And THANKS for "Teardown". What an awesome game. Very good atmosphere here. "Star Quest" - Videogame. I like.

Well, if you decide that proper time may never come, I GUESS I'd take it off your hands...:) Enjoy the game, dude.

What a shame :( A game of that quality deserves to be played often and by a lot of people. It is an outstanding tactical game, easy to learn but hard to master.
Personal anecdote time:
When I played it for the first time (which I did in my local game store, as they have large enough tables), a few Go players came by and watched us play. One of them was an old Space Hulk veteran and pointed out that Space Hulk was a very intelligence demanding game. Coming from a person who participates in Go tournaments, that means a lot.
