In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.

On the distant planets of the Imperium of Mankind, in a galaxy plagued by warp storms and incessant conflict, the armies of Humanity fight for survival. With the Imperium already on the brink of annihilation, the hive fleets of the Tyranids emerge from the cold void between the stars. The Space Marines are the last line of defense standing between this ravenous alien threat and the shattered worlds of the Emperor's realm.

Dive into the 41st millennium with the Warhammer 40,000 Starter Set. It offers a complete introductory experience with lots of incredible models, a battlefield to fight on, useful guides, and all the dice, tools, and rules you need to play your first games. Choose between the superhuman Space Marines and the ravenous Tyranids, entrust control of the other faction to a friend or family member, and battle for hours of fun. There is no better way to take your first steps into the exciting world of Warhammer 40,000, and this box is also an excellent way to expand your existing collections.
