The Starter Set is a middle ground – it’s perfect for people who know what tabletop games are and are ready to supply their own hobby paints and tools, but who might not have played a game like Warhammer 40,000. Alternatively, it’s also great for those who just want to pick up and play the new edition of Warhammer 40,000.

Alongside a 64-page Starter Handbook (with more advanced rules than the Introductory Set), you’ll find two rules reference sheets, 10 dice, two range rulers, and a cardboard gaming mat. Not to mention 38 plastic push-fit miniatures – a stalwart Captain in Terminator Armour leads five beefy Terminators and five Infernus Marines against a vile swarm of Tyranids, comprising a Winged Tyranid Prime, three sneaky Von Ryan’s Leapers, a Psychophage, 20 Termagants, and two very hungry Ripper Swarms.
