Introducing three new boxed sets specifically designed to be the perfect entry point into this captivating hobby filled with breathtaking miniatures and epic tabletop battles.
Let’s explore these exciting sets: the Introductory Set, Starter Set, and Ultimate Starter Set. Each one offers a fantastic way for anyone, regardless of their hobby experience, to dive into the immersive world of Warhammer 40,000. Not sure which set is right for you? Let’s break it down.
Warhammer 40,000: Introductory Set
If you’re completely new to Warhammer and want to embark on an adventure where genetically enhanced soldiers clash with hyper-evolved alien horrors, the Introductory Set is the perfect choice. This set includes five push-fit Infernus Marines, 10 Termagants, and a Ripper Swarm, eliminating the need for glue. Additionally, you’ll find clippers, a starter brush, and five paints (Abaddon Black, Wraithbone, Balthasar Gold, Naggaroth Night, and Macragge Blue) to kickstart your painting journey.
The 48-page Introductory Handbook provides hobby guides, background information about your new models, and an introduction to the game, complete with tutorials and training scenarios. To get you started right away, the set includes a paper playing mat, cardboard walls, tokens, a range ruler, and six dice, allowing you to engage in your initial battles against friends or family.
Warhammer 40,000: Starter Set
The Starter Set strikes a balance, catering to those familiar with tabletop games who are ready to bring their own paints and tools. It’s also an excellent choice for those eager to experience the new edition of Warhammer 40,000. Alongside a 64-page Starter Handbook containing more advanced rules than the Introductory Set, you’ll find two rules reference sheets, 10 dice, two range rulers, and a cardboard gaming mat.
The set includes 38 plastic push-fit miniatures, featuring a stalwart Captain in Terminator Armour leading a squad of five Terminators and five Infernus Marines against a swarm of Tyranids. This vile menace includes a Winged Tyranid Prime, three sneaky Von Ryan’s Leapers, a Psychophage, 20 Termagants, and two voracious Ripper Swarms.
Warhammer 40,000: Ultimate Starter Set
For those seeking the full Warhammer 40,000 experience right from the start, the Ultimate Starter Set is precisely what you need. It contains everything found in the Starter Set, but it also includes a Librarian in Terminator Armour and five Barbgaunts, bolstering both factions to full Combat Patrol size.
Additionally, the Ultimate Starter Set offers an extra cardboard gaming board, an STC Hab-bunker, and eight stockades, allowing you to create a fully immersive battlefield for your battles. The set comes with a 72-page Ultimate Handbook, packed with all the introductory information you’ll require. You’ll also receive a 72-page Core Rules booklet, providing the complete core rules for Warhammer 40,000, along with the Combat Patrol rules and all six Combat Patrol missions from the Warhammer 40,000 Core Book. With just the contents of this box, you can already engage in thrilling Combat Patrol missions.
All three sets will be available soon, so stay tuned for release updates and exciting news.
