ARKHAN: "Minions, I order you to forge for me a mount made out of bones and skulls!" FOREMAN: "Ok, sir, so you want the standard skeletal mount with extra skull accoutrements..." ARKHAN: "No, you fool! I do not wish for mere 'Skull Bling', I desire a mount made out of bones AND skulls!" FOREMAN: "Oh, alright then, so you want your skeletal mount to just be COVERED in skulls, right? Very menacing, sir..." ARKHAN: "NO, YOU NEAR-SIGHTED SIMPLETON! Let me explain exactly to you my vision: I want you assemble the bones, AND THEN FILL THEM TO THE BRIM WITH SKULLS! FOREMAN: "To the brim, sir?" ARKHAN: "Beyond the brim, even! I want my mount to be OVERFLOWING WITH SKULLS. Until it is more skulls than bones! I demand that my mount have LOAD-BEARING SKULLS!" FOREMAN: "Er, alright then, I suppose that we have that ready for you by..." ARKHAN: "Also it must fly! Without wings! Probably lifted by the skulls or something!" FOREMAN:

The recipe for ghost skulls is to kill a skeleton and decapitate its ghost. Repeat until you have enough ghost skulls to fill a horse.

I particularly like the way the mount's forelimbs have little tiny ribcages. Just to hold more skulls.

So the new End Times book is just the WHFB equivalent of the 40k 7E demon summoning, yes? (i.e. a way for them to sell undead models to people who don't have undead armies but now need undead in order to be at all competitive)

There are rumblings abound that Space Hulk is making a return (again) and GW have released a teaser video: http://www.beastsofwar.com/warhammer-40k/space-hulk-returning-edition-games-workshop/ I can't help but think that's a desperate cash grab, the space hulk limited release is one of the few things GW has done 'right' in recent years (barring that 'limited' part), the quality of everything in that box is through the roof. Doubt I'll pick up anything else from them. The big rumour is that it's the same as the 2009 release with some extra missions and counters and bits. Bleh.

I honestly don't give a poo poo anymore because I haven't opened it in well over a year and don't play GW games anymore. I'd rather someone else get good use out of it and I can buy a different board game or w/e that I will actually play.

I think it reflects a deep seated belief in consensus by the forces of the Undead. For years, because most vampire count, tomb king, and otherwise miscellaneous undead armies have been lead by singular extremely powerful necromancers of one kind or another, we've assumed that they have a strict top-down corporate (or in the case of ghost units, unincorporated independent contractors DBA ectoplasm) structure. But we're seeing that these guys *believe* in the concept of many voices. They aren't summoning chaff. They're crowd sourcing ancestral wisdom. The opinions of the interred are an undervalued resource in the workplace. These guys make use of that intellectual capital to grow their brand; and every defeated warrior is potentially another piece of useful feedback to improve their product. It really turns the entire concept of Undead on its head, or skull. They're dynamic marketplace entities, working to overcome challenges by leveraging Agile. What we're seeing is that a truly supreme tomb king doesn't order his serpent magi to charge--he grooms a backlog of battlefield user stories, and asks his units what they can commit to for their next turn. Vampires work with wights to determine priority, and run a scrum during each magic phase to determine if they need a Dans Macabre to accelerate their velocity. I'm kind of surprised you guys are acting like it's 'silly' or 'over the top' somehow.

So Space Hulk is back, reprint of the last one they said would never be reprinted. Also it's going to be $125 American pesos to purchase, and judging by the photo  that price seems excessive. It's $55 more than the Deadzone core box, $25 more than the new Infinity starter, and in Dungeon Crawler terms is $57 more than Myth, $70 more than Descent, $45 more than SDE, and $25 more than the Dungeon Saga KS base pledge stuffed full of bonuses was (and probably about $45 above final retail) Am I the only one who looks at that photo and sees $80 worth of game at most, provided the card really is premium?

No you aren't. It's way overpriced. I got the last overpriced one since Space Hulk was the first GW game I played and I was super jazzed and nostalgic for it. I'm not sure who this is for since anyone like me already has it and probably isn't going to buy another box just for what other companies would charge $20 as an expansion for and as you noted there are way cheaper alternatives for your average boardgamer.

I don't think it's reasonable to compare the MSRP of Space Hulk with the online discounted prices of other games. The Deadzone core box, looking at Mantic's website, is $100. Descent retails for about 80., SDE is $100 retail also. Therea are a lot more minis than the Inifinity starter, they're of similar quality (I think), plastic, and it comes with a shitload of other stuff to boot. I do think it might be a little over costed, but you're also being a bit disingenuous. That being said, as far as being an actual game, it's definitely overcosted. Space Hulk's mechanics are not worth $125 regardless of the quality of the minis and artwork.

Space Hulk is the best thing GW have ever made, and one of the best board games of all time. I still wouldn't pay £80 for it though.

Got all those prices from Miniature Market.

Box looks like the size of galaxy trucker anniversary edition and retails for $125. Or twilight imperium with expansions around the same price. The difference is that those are good games. Even if trucker is the most ameritrash game ever.

You can get any GW product you want 20-30% off very easily pretty much whenever you want other than, maybe, their non-trade items which need to be directly ordered. And ~20% off is the normal miniature market discount on items. Granted they'll probably be doing one big release again instead of making this a normal stock item, which is beyond idiotic for them.
