Space Hulk (Third Edition, 2009) Review | A Stick to the Script Review of a Games Workshop Classic

- Always Board Never Boring is pleased to share the latest review in his Stick to the Script series. This time, he's looking at the all-time classic from Games Workshop, Space Hulk (third edition, 2009). In this game, a team of Blood Angels terminators enter a desolate space craft in search of vile alien genestealers, important relics, and lost honour.
Please be aware that Stick to the Script reviews aren't so much about rules and game mechanisms as they are about the way board games can make you feel, so if anyone is interested in a more in-depth discussion of gameplay mechanisms please just share your thoughts in the comments and there may be a deep dive review later on. Please also note that images in the video are intended to represent the feel of gameplay, so are not 100% accurate representations of game mechanisms such as revealing blips and sustained fire.

You do justice to this great game. Brought me into the hobby back in 1989. Keep on doing this great kind of videos, it helps to remember some epic gaming moments frozen in time.
Thanks for this awesome video! Space Hulk is without a doubt my most favorite board game of all time (in my humble 57 years of existence anyway) I had the 1st Edition back in ‘89 but left it with a friend in Virginia in 2004. I was fortunate enough to find a new 4th Edition at A Hobby Shop (Yep, that was the real name) in 2016. I opened it in October 2020 and painted the last miniature in November. It hasn’t been off of my gaming table since then! Love, love, love it! Your enthusiastic narrative is well deserved and well delivered!
Great review. What a coincidence, I just finished painting the genestealers from space hulk today!
In first edition, we had 2 house rules that meant you could frequently lose the timer
What an amazing video.
I really appreciate the review as an interactive experience report. Just seeing pieces and parts of a game I may have trouble getting is frustrating. Hearing what it was like to play was much better! It shall be mine, one day it shall be mine!
Holy crud dude, with the timing! I JUST finished watching a series of Space Hulk videos after watching your old Combat Patrol vid, which I watched because of your new Space Marines Adventures vid, and now you come at us with a Space Hulk vid! I would love to dust off my 3rd edition copy, if only I had someone to play it with :(
Excellent video. Arguably the best game in a box that GW has ever produced. I think it works brilliantly as a lean and stripped down game, but also if you incorporate the psychic combat and hybrids from the first edition expansions it can become a sprawling and intense campaign game for hardcore gamers.
I think I put this comment down everytime you post one of these, but I love these stick to the script videos! Love how you deliver your writing.
It is because of you and this video I bought the SH 4ed and will expand it with all sorts of custom content! And I promised myself I would not buy anything new until Ive played at least majority of my games... Well done, great video.
Bought a copy of this one recently. It wasn’t so cheap 😔 But I have no regret. What a Classic !
Lovely review and very on point. I keep saying I'll finish painting my set, but I never do, still only 1 terminator and 1 genestealer painted.
Space Hulk, what a classic! GW always gives the game so much love and I can't wait for the 5th edition!
Hope you do more Space Hulk videos!
Great review, thank you
Nice! I need to search out your blog one of these days (if it’s still online?). I’ve eyed my Space Hulk set a couple times during quarantine but there’s no chance of playing it any time soon. There’s always the digital versions, of course, and Space Marine Adventures. 3rd edition was, according to GW, going to be the last ever printing of the game, so “get in now or never”... then it sold out fast and they changed their minds, releasing 4th Ed. with a couple bonus items to differentiate it. As a 3rd Ed. owner I was a little annoyed they went back on their word (pretty quickly too) but didn’t make those bonus items available to 3rd Ed owners in an upgrade pack. No big deal, honestly, but I still remember it! Lol. Thanks for the look back at Space Hulk; hopefully we can all get the opportunity to clank/skitter through the corridors in the next 12 months. 👾👾👾
Love this game so much. Beat the campaign on the app and wanted a challenge so I increased the difficulty settings. Genestealers got 1 extra blip per turn and only was allowed 1-4 command points…..boy was that a game changer. Lol
Great review pal. I read your written review long ago and hadn’t previously connected it to you/this channel!
Love my copy and I am lucky to have the card game version. Always great fun to play
After hero quest opened the door space hulk set in stone my connection with the hobby and then after a wilderness of time from the hobby came back in and found my copy. Loved this game especially when you have to start shouting you have 5minutes let at you the marine player😅 never got this version looks awesome and the minis are beautiful, but I think I prefer the older board but that could be because it reminds me of a different time. I do wonder how different the newer version was, as I loved the original and the expansions with the terminator librarians and genestealer hybrids and the the art work in the rule books aw I love this game cheers for this mate, I’m going to play a game of deathwing with the solo rules!
