Even if there is literally nothing done to this besides a graphics upgrade and MP, I'm all about it.

Looks like they're even using the classic Blood Angels. Sweet!

I have to admit the article made me laugh way harder than it should've. I blame university.

Other than that, pretty cool - I absolutely love the WH40k lore but I don't have the money and people to play anything other than the PC games, and I've heard pretty good stuff about Space Hulk. Hopefully it's turn based and/or runs on shitty Bulgarian laptops from 2009.

edit : oh, it is turn-based, as smarter people than me have probably already deduced. Sweet!

Agreed. If I'd seen a Blood Raven, I'd be forced to write some hate mail.

I suppose you could thank the Emperor, but there are at least 4 others that would probably take credit for it.

[Sirus]

Thank the God-Emperor of the Imperium of Man. It's more specific

You know what would be cool though. I've always wanted a Space Hulk adventure with something other than just Tyranids. Like, Space Hulk with warp monstrosities and daemons. I guess the whole system is built around Tyranids though, but I don't think it'd be that hard to modify.

I played this exactly once, on a Wooden Table 4.1 operating system. So, it's a computer game too now? Cool.

I've always wanted to see Space Hulk with other factions taking the Space Marine's role. Obviously with some rule edits.

It's actually been a computer game for quite a while. There's an old DOS version IIRC and a PS1? version as well.

The PS1 version was pretty cool because it had a first person perspective, which really emphasized the fact you're a 12x8 foot guy in a 13x9 foot corridor.

[puke]

Two computer games, the first had Deathwing and was a mix of first person and overhead command.  Second had Blood Angels.  Dont know if you can get them as abandonware, GW is usually pretty watchful over their licensed properties.

There was also an indy game that was pretty much a direct remake of the board game, but they had to rename it to Alien Assault for legal reasons:  http://www.teardown.se/

I'm not... I'm not sure I understand. Is this from WH40K?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I'm not... I'm not sure I understand. Is this from WH40K?

Yes. SPACE HULK are ancient, gigantic ships that have become lost to the Imperium. Most of SPACE HULK enter and exit the Warp at random and are filed with all manner of horrors, but they contain extremely valuable lost technology. Hence, Space Marines are sometimes sent onto SPACE HULK to recover these things, which has a tendency to go.....badly.

As for the nature of your enemies, SPACE HULK is easily large enough to contain most of the 40K factions, and most of them do in fact have a reason to be on SPACE HULK.
