Each kit contains:

  • 4 Missions of various engagement levels
  • 1 Painting Competition
  • 1 In-Store Building Activity

  • 3 sets of participation certificates for the hobby-centric  Engines of war build, and the Armored Escalation Painting events (one set for veterans and Youngbloods alike)
  • Badges (the pins pictured below)
  • Tank Shock Tokens (the punch token cards for vehicle damage, etc.)

Tank shock was a series of several linked activities, so looks like something new for 40k to keep interest moving forward for veterans and new (Vedros) players alike:
