In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war.
Across the scattered worlds of the Imperium of Mankind, in a galaxy wracked by warp storms and endless conflict, the armies of humanity fight for survival. Already teetering on the brink of annihilation, the Imperium now faces the Tyranid Hive Fleets as they emerge from the cold void between the stars. The Space Marines form the last line of defence between the insatiable xenos menace and the beleaguered worlds within the Emperor's realm.
Enter the 41st Millennium with this Warhammer 40,000 Starter Set. It provides you with a fantastic entry experience, including incredible models, a battlefield to fight over, helpful guides, and all the dice, tools, and rules you need to play your first games. Choose between the noble Space Marines and the swarming Tyranids, hand command of the other army to a friend or family member, and have hours of fun battling it out. There’s no better way to get into the Warhammer 40,000 hobby – and this box is an excellent way to expand your existing collections, too.
