Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000: Elite Edition Starter Set

Product Information

Canoptek Scarab Swarms: Flying hordes of these insectile machines chew through armour, flesh and bone with impunity. I guess their faith in the Emperor (and their Power Armor saves) will have to make up the difference! For new and experienced players alike who are looking to start the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 in the best possible way, the Command Edition is the ultimate starter box.

Unless the newbie in question has their heart set on Warhammer 40,000, I’d say that Age of Sigmar’s Tempest of Souls and Storm Strike sets serve as better products to introduce someone to the hobby. Canoptek Plasmacyte: A cruel and calculating manipulator of tainted energy, the Plasmacyte is capable of sending its Destroyer kin into a killing frenzy. A hobbyist, player, and collector of miniatures and games, Adam's current obsession are his Death Armies for Age of Sigmar, his Blood Angels and Tyranids for 40k, and his ever growing Arkham Horror: The Card Game Collection. The Recruit Edition is design to allow you and a friend the chance to dip your toes into the hobby and test out the game before moving on to more advanced products. Additionally, the increased unit count gives you around 340-390 Points a side, bring you ever closer to a complete Combat Patrol force for each faction.Ruinous Traitor Legions have surged from their lairs, eradicating all that stands in their path on their route to eternal glory. However, it includes an additional eight pages of content, providing extra information and assembly guides for the units included in the set. The mat is couple sided to allow for a bit more variance in games which is a nice touch, and one side actually has marked deployment positions that are utilised in a lot of the missions in the Elite Manual.

Range rulers and dice – These essential accessories cover you for movement, shooting, close combat and more. As the light of the Golden Throne flickers on the brink of eternal damnation, in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only War! The models are exactly the same as those found in the Indomitus set – you’re just not getting everything that was in that box. They’re designed for new players in particular, but if you wanted to double down on a couple of units from the Indomitus Box Set, these starters are also a way to do it for less. More experienced modellers and painters will also be pleased to know that the Space Marines can be easily converted and work very well with the various chapter-specific Primaris conversion kits available.

It contains an overview of the Warhammer hobby, in-depth background for your new models, and a step-by-step guide to building and battling with your forces, including all the rules you need for your first games. Datasheets provide you with rules for all the models in the set, plus a set of expansion options for when you want to branch out with new kits.
