New Leviathan 10th Edition Starter Box Pre-Order: FIRST LOOK
GW has already said they will do a few things with this to make sure everyone who wants a box can get one. First, they are unlocking the Here’s a first look at the new 10th Edition Leviathan Warhammer 40k starter box pre-order based on time zone while running a queue and putting this on a 2-week pre-order period.
They also said they made a ton of these, so let’s hope they made enough for everyone who wants one and has taken all the necessary measures to stop scalpers.
This is the launch box for the new edition of Warhammer 40,000, the biggest Warhammer release in history. The pre-order window will be open for two weeks, and this set will be available strictly while stocks last – but don’t worry, we have made a mind-boggling quantity!
Ahead of what we expect to be quite a busy pre-order period, we are installing a queuing system with a limited quantity available per customer. You’ll be able to pre-order at the following times in your area:

This humongous box contains 72 new miniatures split between the Space Marines and the Tyranids.
So the box is, in fact, humongous. If you are a player of either faction or ever considered trying them, this is an excellent option for a starting point going into the 10th edition of Warhammer 40k!
The Emperor’s Angels of Death are represented by an indomitable Captain in Terminator Armour, a Librarian in Terminator Armour, a Primaris Lieutenant in Phobos Armour, an Apothecary Biologis, five immense Terminators, five Sternguard, a sharpshooting Ballistus Dreadnought, and 10 pyreblaster-toting Infernus Marines.
Space Marines have fewer models than the Tyranids in this box, but with every model being new, this is still a super exciting time for fans. Everything looks fantastic.
They are holding the line against the worst that Hive Fleet Leviathan can throw against them, including a savage Winged Tyranid Prime, a brain-melting Neurotyrant and its two Neuroloid lackeys, three Von Ryan’s Leapers, a Psychophage, a swarm of 20 Termagants and two Ripper Swarms, 11 Neurogaunts, five Barbgaunts, and a brutal reimagining of the iconic Screamer-Killer.
As a Xenos faction, they don’t get love as much as the mainstay factions like Space Marines, BUT this release has a ton of goodies and options for Tyranid players!
Besides all these fantastic miniatures, there is a massive special edition hardback Leviathan Core Book, containing all of the contents of the Warhammer 40,000 Core Book (which will be released very shortly after). This weighty grimoire includes the first narrative Crusade Expansion, extensive background lore, and galleries of miniatures for every major faction. We’re not done, because there’s also a 66-card Chapter Approved Mission Card Deck which generates tense and exciting Matched Play missions, and a Space Marines transfer sheet.
This new Hardback core book looks great and is sure to have some unique scenarios in it, but if you want to test out some 10th edition games, you can now grab the 10th ed. core rules online for free to try games yourself!
Pre-Order Bonuses
On top of that, there are a variety of pre-order bonuses available, depending on where you get your copy. If you order via the Games Workshop webstore, you’ll receive a set of two double-sided gaming boards with a total playable area of 30” x 44”. Purchase your set from a Warhammer store, you’ll get a set of 36 acrylic tokens, which includes six 40mm round objective markers, 10 battleshock tokens, and 20 wound tokens, in a stylish tin sporting the Leviathan logo.
Looking at the image above, the left side is from the Webstore, the right is from a Warhammer physical store, and below are the pre-order bonuses you can get from your Loca Games Store (LGS).
Order from an independent Warhammer stockist and you’ll receive either a set of 28 double-sided deployment zone markers, or a Warhammer 40,000 branded neoprene dice tray featuring artwork of a Terminator helmet lens reflecting a Tyranid face. Speak to your local store to find out more.
Overall some excellent pre-order bonuses for different groups of players, which is great because stores have gotten the short end of the stick with poor allocations on recent releases. Hopefully, this pre-order bonus helps them out.
