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

Product Information

There are three new Starter Sets on the way for Warhammer 40,000 – but how many points will you get in each box? They go together very easily and there are levels of dynamism and motion that leave almost all of the previous Primaris Space Marine kits in the dust. So, if you are looking to introduce someone the wonderfully grim world of Warhammer 40,000, or are get started yourself, you can be sure that whichever starter set you pick up you will be sure to get your moneys worth. The models are exactly the same as those found in the Indomitus set – you’re just not getting everything that was in that box.

These are great as they save so much time that would otherwise be spent passing the book back and forth all the time. The Elite Edition is a slight upgrade that you would mainly get if you wanted a slightly bigger army to play with on both sides. Hey, good review – I just wanted to add that the Recruit edition (The smallest of the three starters) has an archeovault which is perfectly sized.

With composing books for a lifestyle game such as Warhammer it’s a good idea to be mindful that it somebody with no idea whatsoever of what Warhammer is could pick this book up for the first time. Assault Intercessors: This squad of aggressive combatants tear their enemies apart in melee with reaping swings of their grinding chainswords. One thing that we both found a bit of a pain is that there are no wound tokens or trackers included in the set.

Honestly, for a box designed to be a starter set that is probably a good thing as you want people jumping in as quickly as possible.If you’re a Warhammer 40,000 veteran, with 10 Necron Warriors, 3 Scarab Swarms, a Royal Warden, 5 Assault Intercessors and a Primaris Lieutenant, it’s a great set for bolstering an existing collection too!

What’s more, by combining a Recruit and Elite Edition, you’ll get loads of units and two different types of Character too! Thirdly, each increment has arrows on its edge indicating exactly where your model stops depending on how far it can move and is designed to be lain in front of the model to illustrate exactly how movement functions in Warhammer 40,000. The first few pages are pretty much lifted from the Warhammer 40,000 9th Edition Core Rulebook which is very sensible. Now it is worth noting at the time of writing this, we do not know what the cost of some of these kits will be when sold on their own, but we do have other similar products to compare them to. 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?With your miniatures assembled and ready for battle, the Recruit Manual then goes on to teach you the key elements of playing the Warhammer 40,000 game itself over the course of six missions. The Warhammer 40,000: Elite Edition is an excellent box set to get into the world of Warhammer 40,000, it includes everything you need to learn and play this spectacular game and comes with 2 complete armies so once they are built you can hit the ground running.

Canoptek Scarab Swarms: Flying hordes of these insectile machines chew through armour, flesh and bone with impunity. 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. Elite Edition offers the perfect upgrade, with additional units in the form of Skorpekh Destroyers and Outriders, led by a mighty Necron Overlord and Primaris Captain. 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.

She’s been enjoying playing a bit of Warcry lately but tends to get a bit anxious with having to do mental arithmetic in front of people. Skorpekh Destroyers: Swift and deadly hunters, Skorpekh Destroyers chase down their prey to carve them apart with their fearsome reaping blades.
