	The debate's carried over into canon too: in the book 'Death of Integrity', it was mentioned multiple times that Terminator armour had to be used due to the ridiculous amounts of radiation in some parts of the Hulk, enough radiation that would cook Power Armoured Marines in their suits. Once they had accurate seismic scans of the hulk they were able to deploy [[Devastator_Squad\|Devastator]]s and [[Assault Marines]] in areas where the radiation was lower, and even space-suited [[Scout_Squad\|Scout]]s on the surface to help the [[Techmarine]]s do shit. Nice to know the guys at [[Black Library]] are still awesome.

			Recently [[Abaddon\|Failbaddon]] has taken to using them after he ragequitted his last [[Blackstone Fortress]] on [[Cadia]] - these [[Arks of Omen]] are special-made by [[Vashtorr]] using a piece of his essence.

	A funny piece of lore as well, a 1994 issue of TSR's '''Dragon Magazine''' released a "supplement" for Space Hulk called [https://annarchive.com/files/Drmg204.pdf ''Dance Steps for GW's Space Hulk, by Allen Varney''.] You play as the "Recreators" squad, an elite group of Astartes who are tasked with fighting their way through a hulk full of Genestealers to the sanctum, and then defiantly ''ballet dancing'' in a live-broadcast meant to "[[PROMOTIONS\|boost morale"]]. Rules include an intricate series of dance actions, up to and including ''break-dancing'' (because this was the 90s). Painting your Terminators as the Fresh Princeps of Bel'Air optional.

	Around 2014, GW released Space Hulk's 4th edition, even though it was virtually identical to the last one. Unfortunately, it was also limited release. And expensive.....like 40k starter set expensive. You did get some neat models that could be used in regular 40k, though, as well as four new missions and new board pieces such as [[Boarding Torpedo]]es. However, this pissed off A LOT of people who bought the previous limited release of Space Hulk, with many feeling cheated.

However, this pissed off A LOT of people who bought the previous limited release of Space Hulk, with many feeling cheated.

	The 4th edition Space Hulk set was rereleased in fall of 2016. It was still expensive, but this time, there was no indication of it being a limited release. With specialist games like [[Bloodbowl]], [[Necromunda]], and [[Kill_Team_(Specialist_Game)\|Kill Team]] being rebooted at the time, it was hoped that Space Hulk might actually be here to stay.

	Fast forward to 2017; after what was thought to be its removal, GW announces the return of Space Hulk, now with expanded rules (through December 2017's White Dwarf) allowing for the use of [[Genestealer Hybrids]] and other [[Genestealer Cult]] units, such as the [[Genestealer_Patriarch\|Patriarch]] and [[Genestealer_Magus\|Magus]].
