I feel Artwork and Presentation was tight contest between Android and Space Hulk. Both are incredibly well put together and are just bleeding theme.
The artwork for Android seems a little abstract at first, but as one plays the game it begins to fit in perfectly. The absolute dichotomy of expressions between the characters' good and bad cards is very chilling to see. The board is beautifully designed as well with very well chosen pictures and titles for major locations. Add in the flavor from the rulebook and you have a complete game experience that fully immerses the player into the Android world.
Space Hulk, first of all, was reprinted on very thick cardboard and covered in a gloss coat of the highest quality (something many more games should have these days). All of the counters have been redesigned with the same thick cardboard and glossy coating. In addition, this edition includes 12 fully customized terminators; each clearly holding the weapons (many more weapons in this edition) that they are equipped with. Even the genestealers have been molded with many new poses. The mission book is also crawling with theme.
In the end, I believe the large amount of quality placed into the Space Hulk remake was what most likely tipped the vote.
