Warhammer 40,000 Ultimate Starter Set $210
In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.
Across the far-flung worlds of the Imperium of Mankind, in a galaxy riven by warp storms and unceasing conflict, the armies of Humanity battle for survival. With the Imperium already standing upon the brink of annihilation, the Tyranid hive fleets emerge from the cold void between the stars. The Space Marines stand as the last line of defence between this ravenous alien menace and the beleaguered worlds of the Imperium.
Take the plunge into the 41st Millennium with the Ultimate Starter Set for Warhammer 40,000. This box gives you a complete introductory experience, with loads of incredible models, a battlefield to fight over, helpful guides, and all the dice, tools, and rules you need to play your first games. Pick the noble Space Marines or swarming Tyranids, give control of the other army to a friend or family member, and battle it out for hours of entertainment. There’s no better way to get into the Warhammer 40,000 hobby – this box is also an excellent way to expand your existing collections.
This boxed set includes:
1x 72-page softcover Warhammer 40,000 Ultimate Starter Set Handbook – Includes construction guides, rules tutorials, and training missions to get you up to speed without hassles and headaches

The armies in this box can be used as full Combat Patrols for Space Marines and Tyranids.
44x plastic push-fit Citadel miniatures – This box is stuffed with loads of miniatures to build, paint, and play with. There are two starting forces in the box, with leaders, troops, and support elements – all designed to be assembled without glue, so you can get stuck in with minimal fuss.

Librarian in Terminator Armour $38
Librarians are the battle-psykers and lore-keepers of the Space Marines, and when clad in Terminator armour lend a lethal psychic edge to their elite infantry spearheads. Whether in gruelling boarding actions, ferocious urban combat, or a stand against overwhelming enemy numbers, these psychic juggernauts carve a path with powerful empyric blasts and unnatural foresight.
This multipart plastic kit builds a Librarian in Terminator Armour, a psychic powerhouse of his Chapter. He wields a force weapon – a destructive focus for his mental energies – in the form of an ornate axe, while a wrist-mounted storm bolter spits shells at his foe. The Librarian’s imposing armour is decorated with the horned skull symbol of the Librarius, features warding sigils etched directly into the ceramite, and incorporates a psychic hood that aids him in resisting enemy witchcraft.
This kit comprises 14 plastic components and comes with a Citadel 40mm Round Base. This push-fit miniature can be assembled without glue, and is supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints.
Barbgaunts $45
Barbgaunts are little more than living weapons, their bodies and biological cannons slaved to the will of a pulsating ganglio-parasite that piggybacks them into battle. Once there, they unleash volleys of chitinous barbs that detonate with the fury of violent muscle-spasms, transfixing nearby victims with a hail of jagged projectiles.
This multipart plastic kit builds five Barbgaunts – Tyranid creatures engineered as biological artillery. Each of these hunched and hulking gaunt-forms is fused to a grotesque barblauncher – five stout limbs serve to support its living weapon or provide a stable firing platform, while the sixth is little more than an atrophied talon. These beasts of burden are controlled by cerebral parasites, fleshy tendrils digging into each Barbgaunt’s eyeless skull to direct its organic payload.
This kit comprises 20 plastic components and comes with 5x Citadel 40mm Round Bases. These push-fit miniatures can be assembled without glue, and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints.
Warhammer 40,000: The Rules $25
Across the war-torn battlefields of the 41st Millennium, the Imperium of Mankind battles to survive in a galaxy rent asunder by the hellish Great Rift. The God-Emperor’s armies fight on countless far-flung worlds against heretics, aliens, and daemons. As the fleets of the Indomitus Crusade rush to relieve thousands of battle-riven planets, unspeakable alien horrors from beyond the borders of the galaxy prey upon the fractured Imperium.
There is no peace among the stars, for in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.
Head into battle with this compact and convenient small-format version of the Warhammer 40,000 Core Rules. Measuring just 165mm x 213mm, it features all the essential information you need to play the game, omitting the background and lore that makes up much of the larger Warhammer 40,000 Core Book.
