Warhammer 40,000 Starter Set

In the nightmarish future of the 41st millennium, it is Humanity as a whole that teeters on the brink of destruction. The xenos enemies of the Imperium, the savage Orks, face the valiant Space Marines. It is a desperate struggle that will decide the fate of entire star systems.

Warhammer 40,000 is a tabletop combat game in which you will take command of the Imperium's forces or its countless and deadly enemies. This box lets you pit Space Marines against Orks. Both sides are represented by miniatures – which you assemble and paint yourself – and the action takes place on a battlefield filled with immersive scenery. This box contains everything you need to play Warhammer 40,000, including two complete Patrol-sized armies. Learn to play the game with easy-to-follow guides that will introduce you to the rules as you play.
