WHM4005: WHM40000 COMMAND EDITION (ENG)

In the grim
darkness of the far future, there is only war.

Across the far-flung worlds of the Imperium of Mankind, in a galaxy riven by
warp storms and unceasing conflict, the armies of Humanity battle for survival.
With the Imperium already standing upon the brink of annihilation, the Tyranid
hive fleets emerge from the cold void between the stars. The Space Marines
stand as the last line of defense between this ravenous alien menace and the
beleaguered worlds of the Imperium.

Take the plunge into the 41st Millennium with the Ultimate Starter Set for
Warhammer 40,000. This box gives you a complete introductory experience, with
loads of incredible models, a battlefield to fight over, helpful guides, and
all the dice, tools, and rules you need to play your first games. Pick the
noble Space Marines or swarming Tyranids, give control of the other army to a
friend or family member, and battle it out for hours of entertainment. There’s
no better way to get into the Warhammer 40,000 hobby – this box is also an
excellent way to expand your existing collections.

44x plastic push-fit Citadel miniatures – This box is stuffed with loads of
miniatures to build, paint, and play with. There are two starting forces in the
box, with leaders, troops, and support elements – all designed to be
assembled without glue, so you can get stuck in with minimal fuss. These
miniatures are all supplied with their appropriate bases, and the box features:

12x Space Marines
Genetically-enhanced soldiers created for war. Their already-deadly skills are
enhanced with power armour that amplifies their strength and endurance, and
brutal weapons to utterly annihilate any foe.

- 1x Captain in Terminator Armour: A veteran of a thousand wars, ready to lead
a strike force against any foe

with terrifying psychic powers

with heavy weapons
- 5x Infernus Marines: Armoured troops who wield powerful flame weapons to keep
swarming enemies at bay

32x Tyranids
Utterly alien creatures from a distant galaxy, driven by a gestalt
consciousness. They desire nothing more than to consume all life, absorbing and
reconstituting its biomass into ever-more-vile creatures.

- 1x Winged Tyranid Prime: A swooping conduit for the Hive Mind's will,
connecting all Tyranid creatures within close proximity
- 1x Psychophage: A massive, highly specialised monstrosity, eager to consume
enemies with its horrific maw
- 3x Von Ryan’s Leapers: Mantis-like hunters that lash out from the shadows to
ensnare unwary prey
- 5x Barbgaunts: Living artillery slaved to their symbiotic weapons
- 20x Termagants: Scuttling hordes of simple Tyranid creatures, armed with
weapons that project living ammunition
- 2x Ripper Swarms: Small beasts tasked with finishing off weakened enemies and
picking their bones clean

9x plastic Citadel modular terrain pieces – The border worlds of the Imperium
are strewn with rugged structures, built following time-tested designs to
withstand the ravages of war. These glue-fit plastic terrain pieces are
designed to bring your tabletop to life, and include the following:

- 1x STC Hab-bunker: A rough-and-ready shelter, mass-produced for use on many
Imperial worlds
- 8x Stockades: Spike-lined defensive walls that can be arranged and combined
in a variety of ways

2x reference sheets – One for each army, including simplified datasheets for
each unit that will help keep your games running smoothly.

2x 30" by 22.4" double-sided gaming boards – Two heavy card game
boards, with different battlefield art on each side, that can be folded for
easy transport. Combine them for an expansive playing field.

2x range rulers and 10x six-sided dice – These essential accessories are used
in games of Warhammer 40,000 for movement, shooting, close combat, and more.

These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend
using Citadel Colour paints. The terrain in this set is glue-fit – we recommend
using Citadel Plastic Glue for assembly.
