New Warhammer 40k Paint Sets, Starter Sets & Rules Pre-Orders Revealed
A variety of 10th Edition Warhammer 40k Starter set boxes make up next week’s lineup of new pre-orders; here are all the details straight from Warhammer Community.
Warhammer 40,000: The Rules
The Warhammer 40,000 core rules have been revitalised with the new edition, changing the way that the game plays in numerous key ways. They are available to download for free, but this small hardback book is the ideal gaming companion. Just a touch smaller than A5 format, with a black ribbon page marker, it contains all 64 pages of the core rules… and nothing else. This product is only available from the Games Workshop webstore while stocks last.
If you want a physical book that is smaller than the Leviathan one, pick up just the core rules themselves next week! This will be roughly 148.5 x 210 mm or 5.8 x 8.3 inches in size.
Warhammer 40,000 Introductory Set
The Warhammer 40,000 Introductory Set is the complete beginner product for Warhammer 40,000. It includes five Infernus Marines, 10 Termagants, and a Ripper Swarm – all push-fit miniatures – plus clippers, a brush, and five paints to start your journey into building and painting. A 48-page introductory set handbook contains tutorials and basic missions to play using the game mat, dice, ruler, and tokens included. It’s the perfect gift for those just starting on their Warhammer 40,000 journey.
If you’re looking to dip your toes into 10th Edition Warhammer 40k, or convince a friend to, then this intro kit is a great option! This gets you the bare minimum to start building and painting, and you have two squads to see how combat goes!
Warhammer 40k 10th Edition Starter Sets Pre-Orders
The Warhammer 40,000 Starter Set is great for getting into the game – it includes all the miniatures from the Introductory Set, and adds a Captain in Terminator Armour and five Terminators on the Space Marine side, facing off against a Winged Tyranid Prime, Psychophage, three Von Ryan’s Leapers, and 10 more Termagants and a Ripper Swarm.
The box contains simplified datasheets and a 64-page Warhammer 40,000 Starter Set Handbook, which features rules tutorials and training missions to get you started. You’ll also get a Space Marine transfer sheet with 849 decals, a playing mat, plus dice and a range ruler.
Plus, the miniatures inside this box almost add up to two full Combat Patrols. All you need is to pick up a Librarian in Terminator Armour for Space Marines or a unit of Barbgaunts for Tyranids, and you’re ready to play out a Combat Patrol game!
If you already know how to hobby on minis and have your own paints, or simply just want more models, this 10th Edition Warhammer 40k starter set is a great option.
10th Edition Warhammer 40k Ultimate Starter Set
For the ultimate beginning to the new edition of the game, the aptly named Warhammer 40,000 Ultimate Starter Set is a comprehensive introduction to Warhammer 40,000. This box contains everything that the Starter Set does, plus those six extra miniatures you need to make two full Combat Patrols of Space Marine and Tyranids. Then there’s terrain, consisting of an STC Hab Bunker and eight stockades, which can be set up on the two double-sided gaming boards included.
Much like the smaller sets, this box also contains a handbook, as well as a full Core Rules Booklet. This has all the core rules for the new edition and the rules for the fast and fun Combat Patrol mode, including six missions. You’ll also get dice, tokens, a range ruler, and a Space Marine transfer sheet.
Finally, this box adds terrain on top of a ton of models, making it perfect for an at-home gaming experience.
Librarian in Terminator Armour
If you’re buying the Starter Set and want to increase your collection to full Combat Patrol size, or if you just want to snag this puissant and well-protected psyker, you’ll be able to pre-order him separately from next week. He can lead your units of Terminators to give them resistance to incoming psychic attacks, while manipulating reality to ensure they put out even more firepower in return.
The new Terminator Librarian is releasing as it’s own separate release, which is sure to be a popular option for Space Marine players.
Barbgaunts
Load up on five Barbgaunts to expand your Starter Set into a Tyranids Combat Patrol. The largest of the Gaunt genus to be identified by Imperial observers, these hunched creatures are slaves to their wriggling ganglio-parasites, unleashing volleys of explosive barbs from their bio-cannons.
Tyranids get access to the living artillery Barbagaunts as a separate kit, for a new unique model with sweet weapons.
Infernus Marines + Paints
Get started with the painting aspect of the Warhammer hobby with this Infernus Marines + Paints set, which includes three push-fit Infernus Marines with embossed Ultramarines shoulder markings, and five paints – Corax White, Macragge Blue, Balthasar Gold, Abaddon Black, Agrax Earthshade, and Armageddon Dust – plus a Citadel starter brush.
If you are interested in marines and want to test paint just a few miniatures, this kit is made for you.
Termagants & Ripper Swarm + Paints
Cultivate your own collection of horrors from beyond the galaxy with this Termagants and Ripper Swarm + Paints set. It contains three push-fit Termagants and a Ripper Swarm, a Citadel starter brush, and five paints – Corax White, Wraithbone, Naggaroth Night, Thunderhawk Blue, Magos Purple, and Armageddon Dust.
If you are interested in Tyranids and want to test out just painting a few minaitures then this kit is the perfect starting point.
Warhammer 40k Paints + Tools Set
This set contains everything you need to get started with your new push-fit miniatures. There are Citadel starter clippers, a mould line remover, a Citadel starter brush, and 13 paints – Abaddon Black, Corax White, Wraithbone, Naggaroth Night, Macragge Blue, Leadbelcher, Balthasar Gold, Bugman’s Glow, Mephiston Red, Thunderhawk Blue, Magos Purple, Agrax Earthshade, and Armageddon Dust.
If you are going to get any of the starter boxes that don’t come with paint, this is a great option to get you started on being able to paint everything in the boxes!
White Dwarf 490
Explore the brand new edition of Warhammer 40,000 with White Dwarf 490. This issue introduces the White Dwarf Bunker, a worldwide gaming club – we’ll have more info on that this week. There’s also a gorgeous gallery of vibrant and verdant Sylvaneth from the staff, as well as the final part of the Grombrindal serial by Chris Thursten.
