There is no peace in the darkness of the distant future.

On the far-flung worlds of the Imperium of Mankind, in a galaxy plagued by warp storms and never-ending conflict, the armies of humanity fight for survival. The Empire is already on the brink of annihilation and the Tyranids’ swarm fleets are emerging from the empty cold between the stars. The Space Marines form the last line of defense between the insatiable xenos threat and the beleaguered worlds of the Emperor’s Empire.

Take your first steps in the 41st millennium with the Warhammer 40,000 starter set. This box is a great way to familiarize yourself with this great hobby, as you can assemble and paint incredible models and then play your first games. Choose between the noble Space Marines and the swarms of Tyranids, leave command of the other army to a friend or family member and have hours of fun as you go head to head. If you want to try out Warhammer 40,000, this is your opportunity – and this box is also an excellent way to expand your existing collections.
