Indeed!
It only confirms what I've thought for a while, that Perry miniatures should at least dabble in fantasy miniatures.  If not entire units, maybe just a couple of fantasy accessory sprues with heads, shields and accessories to somewhat fantasy-up their plastic kits.

Id sign a petition for that.

As would I!

It's been said that the dragon was digitally sculpted- I wonder if that means that the Perrys may be switching to digital sculpting for their own plastics.

I haven't seen any new 3up previews for a while, now that I think about it.

It is the future so I don't see why not. A shame as there are too many older skills slowly disappearing 

I think they shot themselves in the foot a bit with this. A limit of say 500 would've worked so much better for them unless they will be doing another limited run in the future...

I don't believe that sculpting by hand will ever really die out. Tools are easy to improvise and getting your hand on some putty should be in reach for many for years to come.

I think it just offers alternate mediums. Some artists will find one easier to work with than the other, but the overall result is better miniatures on average. Which we are seeing.

So, I see that "Limited Edition" Space Hulk is up for sale again, again, again:

Bunch of wankers.

GW, making more fools of themselves each day.

[Cubs]

I've bought one! I shall call it my retirement nest egg.

[Ajsalium]

Well, it's a limited edition after all.

It's the December'14 limited edition. Not to be confused with the October'14 or November'14 limited editions. Neither with the limited edition that will be released in a couple months time.

They recently sent out an email stating that they had 'found more' in the warehouse or something about two months after it sold out. 

If I recall correctly they did the exact same thing upon the release four years ago.

(And I bought them both- I love Space Hulk).

With all the stuff they find down the back of the sofa, it's a wonder they haven't stumbled across a few copies of the original version of the game

  no doubt, a few pallets of Battlefleet Gothic would be cool

I would immediately buy it. Looking for reasonably priced BG since years.

Yep, that one was a really great game. In my opinion, easily their best release of that era for ease of play and balancing, and the ships were really nice and acceptably-priced. I just wished I hadn't sold my Chaos fleet some years ago.
