Always wanted this game, had 2nd Edition but think it lacked a bit of the feel of 1st though. Still plugging away at those beastmen but will get there in the end.
The originals are oozing with character. People forget, but when SH came out, Terminators were brand new and then this Genestealer creature...We still play it and have expanded it greatly over the years. So very many things you can do with it and it's very expandable. Why GW will not keep it in print escapes me. It has very hardcore Fans who have no interest in the time and cash investment of the full 40K game. Excellent that you got the Genestealer manual and Deathwing as they are rarer these days. If you need a 1Ed rulebook let me know. So many missions and campaigns that really you need 1Ed to play with. Really cool :)
Thanks mate, I really kicked a goal getting this in 1 hit. I was happier than a dog with a liquorice doodle to be honest, lots like that are few and far between and to be in Australia were postage didn't cost me a kidney was even better.
Your very much welcome mate, I have to say I was happier then a pig in poop when I got them but I have to pull out my finger and get some paint on them.
Wow, memories... had this when I was a kid and lived in UK. Still regret selling my stuff when I moved to Australia later... This stuff is rare as now. Kind of hoping for a re-release though, as new models are so detailed. Why I got back into it after 20 year gap, Adeptus Titanicus in 2018, the aeronautica and finally new Epic with Legions Imperialis. Buying power much better as an 'adult', ha ha, we never grow up. Been binge watching all the old stuff lately, Hero Quest as well, Space Crusade... but Space Hulk 1st edition is one of my all time favourites. Cheers for uploading mate. Loved the video.
If you want to do 3D space hulk, I came across Eons Of Battle, he has designed an amazing Space Hulk board. I downloaded all the Space Ship interior models, have a mate who 3d prints in resin. Finally can have that board I always wanted.
Love the old GW boxed sets: miniatures, solid backgrounds, fascinating images...is that just old days nostalgia or do those games were just better than those published today? Cheers from an italian oldhammerer...since 1990😀
I got first edition for Christmas in about the same condition as you, although mine still have the candle sticks attached luckily. Such a beautiful relic.
I’ve played 1st edition,2nd edition and third edition and enjoyed them all. On balance I probably prefer the latest edition. 1st was very hard on the marines, I liked the flamer and assault cannon rules in 2nd but 3rd has a little more variety with the Librarian and Broodlord. All three versions are equally challenging and I’ll still play second.
It is mate played my mates copy a couple of times and found it better then 2nd edition. Not to say I didn't like 2nd but 1st had a few things that set it apart.

You’ve got yourself a real treasure here, Mate! Relics of the past that still hold value… Loved these early editions! Thanks for sharing this post!

Fun to wonder how few of those boxes there are in Australia, you've got something rare there
Thanks mate reckon I uncovered a real gem here and was lucky enough to get space marine as well 👍

Hi mate that is an interesting question is it nostalgia or were the games better back then. I think a bit of both to be honest 🤔
Good stuff, thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching! I try mate I really do just hope my love of the oldhammer comes through in my videos
@@solooldhammergaming1784 Yes indeed, each video is a nostalgic treat, but also something new. Have a good day!
Love the old black & white art from Oldhammer
It really has more character then now I feel, and breaks down to a tattoo really well
I got first edition for Christmas in about the same condition as you, although mine still have the candle sticks attached luckily. Such a beautiful relic.
thanks mate I did get pretty lucky when I won this one a little bit of a gem really for me.
amazing artwork
Some of the best, love the artwork in all the books just stunning 🤩

Space Hulk campaigns cover by Dave Gallagher
That's the one, reckon I need a copy of that for sure.
Great game

AHQ is an absolute classic and you can play it Solo :)
OK that has pricked up my ears for this one, solo sounds like a blast.
You still managed another great video after a night shift! Were you waiting for another load of washing to finish?? 😂
Lol not this time it was the dish washer
Hey, could you turn up the tiles?
Hey mate will do I am painting up some space hulk to put on the channel.
You have the 2nd edition of Epic
Thought so been over the box and cannot see anywhere it says 3rd edition
