Yes indeed! http://www.spacehulk-game.com/about.html
QuoteBased on the best-selling board game and set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, Space Hulk is a 3D digital turn based strategy game that recreates the classic claustrophobic board game experience for single player and multiplayer cross-platform play between PC, Mac and on iOS.
Space Hulk is set in the isolated corridors and tomb-like chambers of an ancient vessel lost in the graveyard of space. Players lead a small army of fearless Space Marine Terminators to battle in a ferocious fight for survival against hordes of predatory alien Genestealers.
The main features are
Blood Angel terminator squad
Fearsome Genestealers with challenging AI
Thematic 3d environment
Single player campaign based on the "Sin of Damnation" hulk
New coop multiplayer levels against the Genestealer AI
Multiplayer head-to-head recreating the board game experience against a friend
Cross platform multiplayer between PC, Mac and iOS
Level editor with ability to share creations
Game expansions in the future as DLC
It has been a good week for Games Workshop news! ;D
...damn it. Back to the bathroom for me.
Nice.
I just hope they bother to include hotseat :P
OK. I subscribed to the newsletter. Let's hope this one is as good as we'd like it to be.
Snap, so we have Fantasy and 40K announced in 1 glorious week :) whats next a remake of Steel Panthers :)
No mention of THQ, thought they had the 40k license

Looks like they went with a dev who has multi platform experience to get an iOs and Mac version at launch as well. I've never heard of Full Control before...they have a small portfolio of games that I've also never heard of.
The icons for facebook, twitter and Youtube are terribly amusing: "Venerate" "Pursue" and "Observe" respectively. ;D
I have an embarrassing need for this game. I miss the old Dos/Win version (although technically I can still play it). DLC with new maps and campaigns? Just take my money now.
I have one of their games on steam, frontline tactics, it's free to play. I'm still not sure I like it though haven't spent a whole lot of time with it.

Yep - with you there - I spent 'a few' hours playing the old version. To me, the original version of the Space Hulk board game is stil one of the best GW games EVAH! Very dynamic and tense.

I love WH40K. I love strategy games. But I was so let down by the new version of Space Hulk. It was extremely ponderous and boring and the rules muddy what is a fairly simplistic "roll until they die" type game. The best aspect of the game is, not surprisingly, the minis. If I had been painting at the time, I probably would not have sold it, but I did and was able to afford Twilight Imperium, a game I love and has gotten many plays.
That being said, a PC or iOS version that simulates all the rules and sets the whole thing up would probably be cool.
I'd love to have a copy of Space Hulk. But I also like being able to pay rent and buy food every month, so...yeah. :(

I have a shrink wrapped copy of the latest game sitting around hoping some
sucker collector will offer me a stack of money for it.

If you can half decently paint those minis, you can charge quite a bit for it.
