Across the distant worlds of the Imperium of Mankind, the galaxy is torn by warp storms and unending war. Humanity struggles to survive against threats from every direction, and now the Tyranid hive fleets emerge from the cold emptiness between the stars. Standing between these ravenous alien invaders and the beleaguered worlds of the Imperium are the Space Marines—the ultimate defenders of Mankind.

Step into the 41st Millennium with this Warhammer 40,000 Starter Set, designed to provide a complete introductory experience. Inside, you’ll find stunning miniatures, a detailed battlefield, easy-to-follow guides, dice, tools, and rules to get your first games up and running. Command the noble Space Marines or unleash the swarming Tyranids, then challenge a friend or family member to epic battles that will last for hours. This box is ideal for newcomers to the hobby and also serves as a great way to expand existing collections. With two full Combat Patrols included, you can dive straight into tight, tactical games.
