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

Product Information

Inside this jam-packed box, you’ll find the makings of two armies plus rules for gaming with them – ideal for kicking off your hobby, sharing with a friend or gifting to someone you’d like to introduce to your favorite game. Range rulers and dice – These essential accessories cover you for movement, shooting, close combat and more.

THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY, THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG, THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES and the names of the characters, items, events and places therein are trademarks of The Saul Zaentz Company d/b/a Middle-earth Enterprises under license to New Line Productions, Inc. The models are exactly the same as those found in the Indomitus set – you’re just not getting everything that was in that box.But for what it probably cost to mock up and print the box to look like an “Archeovault”, surely they could have included a sheet of card with some punch-out barricades and some box nets to fold into crates? There’s also a shallow narrative threading these Missions together, serving as a very subtle way of giving new players a taste of campaign gaming. It is our mission to bring you the latest from the miniature wargaming scene, from narrative missions, hobby how-to tutorials, battle reports, unboxings and reviews, retro flashbacks, news, rumors, and more. Range rulers and dice – These essential accessories cover you for movement, shooting, close combat and more. Skorpekh Destroyers: Swift and deadly hunters, Skorpekh Destroyers chase down their prey to carve them apart with their fearsome reaping blades.

Canoptek Scarab Swarms: Flying hordes of these insectile machines chew through armour, flesh and bone with impunity. The main attraction of 40k is the miniatures, but there are also many video games, board games, books, ect. Perfect For You If: You’re after a more immersive learning experience, complete with a dedicated gaming board and battlefield scenery. The other good thing about the Mission structure is that it doesn’t feel as though one faction has overall advantage over the other; one Mission sees the Necron player going to town on an unlucky group of Intercessors with the Skorpehk Destroyers, whilst another is just a Primaris Captain smashing bugs.In today’s article, we’re lifting the lids to take a look at the contents of each set in greater detail.

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. With the possible exception of the bikes (which are still surprisingly easy to build), there is also very little mould line cleanup required. If the assembly instructions you are looking for are not yet online or if you have a PDF file not yet listed above or in better quality, please do not hesitate to contact us to help us keep our list up to date. This is probably the thing that annoyed me about this box set the most and it’s really not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. The box itself is nothing really fancy – none of the matte or gloss finish that you’ll find on the likes of the Warcry or Indomitus boxes.

Beyond the divider, we have the literature and other bits and pieces that don’t play well with sprues that are going to be jostled about in transit. After 10,000 years of war, turmoil and destruction, the Imperium of mankind is on the brink of collapse and is besieged on all fronts by Xenos filth and blasphemous traitors. I reckon a big part of the value in this set are the two HQ’s, which are always on the pricy side when starting an army. These datasheets – as they’re referred to in Warhammer 40,000 – contain the stats and profiles for all the units in the set and a wee bit ( YOUR SCOTLAND IS SHOWING ;) – Editor) of fluff explaining what they are and what they do in their respective armies. The Command Edition makes expanding your Warhammer 40,000 experience as easy as possible – not just by including the full rules, but the modular nature of the gaming board itself is the perfect start to a larger battlefield.

When the only unit that doesn’t have multiple wounds in the set is the Necron Warriors this does feel like a bit of an oversight. Outriders: Take the fight to the enemy flanks from the back of armoured bikes with these far-ranging reconnaissance riders.Once everything in the box has been explained and the game universe introduced to you, you’re given building instructions for the Assault Intercessors and Necron Warrios. The bottom half is designed to be used in the missions within the Elite Manual, however, so don’t go chucking the box out right away!
