The epic Leviathan boxed set launched the latest edition of Warhammer 40,000, and now it’s time for the new era to begin in earnest. Three new starter sets, three paint sets, and plenty more are coming to pre-orders today, alongside an issue of White Dwarf that you absolutely won’t want to miss.
Warhammer 40,000: Ultimate Starter Set
Blast right into the grim darkness of the far future with the Ultimate Starter Set for Warhammer 40,000 – perfect for budding commanders who want a taste of everything battles in the 41st Millennium have to offer.
This hefty set includes a bounty of Warhammer miniatures to get your first battles going. The Space Marines deploy an elite force of five Terminators, five Infernus Marines, a Librarian in Terminator Armour, and a Captain in Terminator Armour, while the Tyranids descend on them with 20 Termagants, two Ripper Swarms, three Von Ryan’s Leapers, five Barbgaunts, a Psychophage, and a wily Winged Tyranid Prime.
In addition, you’ll get an easy-to-follow Handbook filled with information on the Warhammer hobby, a slim A5-sized book of Core Rules, reference sheets for all of your units, dice, rulers, a game board, and a set of Battlezone: Fronteris terrain to fight over. Phew.
Warhammer 40,000: Starter Set
Getting started in the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 has never been easier than with the Warhammer 40,000 Starter Set, packing two compact forces and all the rules you need to learn the ins and outs of the world’s greatest miniatures game.
A large swarm of 20 Termagants, two Ripper Swarms, three Von Ryan’s Leapers, a Psychophage, and a Winged Tyranid Prime set out to consume an Imperial world, hunted by a Captain in Terminator armour who leads a team of five Terminators and five Infernus Marines. As well as these are 10 six-sided dice, two rulers, reference cards for your models, and an in-depth Handbook to lead you through your first games of Warhammer 40,000.
Warhammer 40,000: Introductory Set
Collect, build, paint, and play with the Warhammer 40,000 Introductory Set – the single greatest set for Warhammer beginners ever released. This awesome collection of miniatures, paints, gaming aids, and introductory rules gives even a complete novice a rock-solid foundation in the world of Warhammer 40,000, taking them from building and painting their first miniature to waging their first battles in the 41st Millennium.
Alongside a comprehensive introductory Handbook, gaming board, dice, ruler, hobby clippers, and paintbrush, the Introductory Set includes five Infernus Marines, 10 Termagants, and a Ripper Swarm, plus a set of five paints to get them table-ready – Abaddon Black, Wraithbone, Balthasar Gold, Naggaroth Night, and Macragge Blue.
Warhammer 40,000: The Rules
Prefer to have your Warhammer 40,000 rules at hand, but don’t want to lug around your full-sized rulebook all day? Warhammer 40,000: The Rules is for you – a smaller, lighter edition of the essential rules found within the Warhammer 40,000 Core Book.
At A5-size and 64 pages long, this pocket-sized rules compendium is easy to transport and reference on the go, fitting inside all kinds of bags and carry cases without squishing your prized miniatures. This product is only available while stocks last.
Infernus Marines + Paints
Start a collection of Space Marines and get them painted in the iconic blue and gold of Macragge’s finest with the Infernus Marines + Paints set – including three unique Infernus Marines with sculpted Ultramarines shoulder icons, a starter paintbrush, and six essential paints.
Painting the base and details on your Space Marines is a doddle with pots of Macragge Blue, Abaddon Black, Balthasar Gold, and Corax White, while even their bases come alive with Armageddon Dust Technical paint and a wash of Agrax Earthshade.
Termagants and Ripper Swarm + Paints
If Tyranids are more your thing, the Termagants and Ripper Swarm + Paints set is a great way to practise painting the mainstays of your swarm. Three Termagants and a Ripper Swarm round out the miniatures, while the infamous colour scheme of Hive Fleet Leviathan comes to life with pots of Naggaroth Night, Magos Purple, Wraithbone, Corax White, Thunderhawk Blue, and Armageddon Dust.
Paints + Tools Set
Already have a collection of miniatures – perhaps from the Ultimate Starter Set or the Leviathan boxed set – and want to get them onto the table? The Paints + Tools Set has everything you need, from a sturdy pair of clippers, mould line removal tool, and starter paintbrush to a wide assortment of useful Citadel Paints.
Lay down solid basecoats of colour with Abaddon Black, Corax White, Wraithbone, Naggaroth Night, Macragge Blue, Thunderhawk Blue, Mephiston Red, and Bugman’s Glow. Make your metallics shine with Leadbelcher and Balthasar Gold, and pick out the details of your intricate miniatures with Agrax Earthshade and Magos Purple. Finally, a pot of Armageddon Dust makes basing your models as simple as painting their armour.
Librarian in Terminator Armour
Wield the power of the warp against Hive Fleet Leviathan with the Librarian in Terminator Armour, a new paragon of psychic might first seen in the Leviathan boxed set. Able to lead elite units of Terminators and fry enemies with bolts of psychic lightning, they’re an excellent choice for accompanying your hardest troops into battle – and they’re a dab hand with their force axe when the Tyranids get within chopping range.
Barbgaunts
Give your swarm the fire support it needs with a unit of five Barbgaunts – lurching monstrosities slaved to the will of their weapon-parasites. The sheer power of their bio-cannons is enough to disrupt the toughest of infantry, slowing them and making them easy prey for the rest of your horde.
