Learn to Play Warhammer 40,000

The included handbook introduces beginner-friendly rules and guides players through their first small games. With two opposing forces, dice, a range ruler, card terrain, and a playmat included, the set provides the essential components needed to understand movement, combat, and the basic flow of a Warhammer 40,000 battle.

Build and Paint Your First Miniatures

Space Marines and Orks offer two distinct painting experiences. Practice painting clean armor panels and bold chapter colors on the Space Marines, then add rugged weapons, clothing, skin tones, and battlefield details to the Orks. The included paints and starter brush provide a practical starting point for first-time miniature painters.

Expand your color selection and customize both forces with additional products from the Citadel Paint collection .
