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

Product Information

Personally, I went for option B because, you know, chainswords. Again, it was an incredibly easy assembly: push-fit with a few dots of glue to just ensure everything is held in place forever. Whatever your preference, both these sets have three models (Space Marine Assault Intercessors or Necron Warriors, respectively), six paints and a brush. Get in! Setting the Scene After the plastic has been decanted we have the card divider we’ve come to expect in Warhammer boxes. These are usually far more visually impressive than they have any business being for the function they serve. The Artful Divider When you consider the primary focus of this set is to get curious people in the door, at a more-than-reasonable price point, it honestly cannot be beat.

Recruit Edition Starter Set Review Warhammer 40,000 Recruit Edition Starter Set Review

With each mission, new rules and features are slowly introduced so that by Mission 6, the opposing players are able to have a go at battering each other’s sides into submissions in a proper game of Warhammer 40,000. Once you’ve had a game and made some friends, you might then choose to commit to a slow grow support group, where you can slowly build up armies in a supportive and organised way. You’re bound to make some mistakes when painting your first few models but sharing your mistakes with others, and learning from what they’ve done, is the best way to get some experience. There’s also quite a bit of lore for Warhammer 40,000 and the two factions included in the box. Extremely important as there’s a reason we’re not all playing chess after all. Again, a lot of this text is lifted from the Core Rulebook but there’s nothing wrong with that. A Space Marines Transfer Sheet with over 600 transfers, designed to make adding Chapter-specific details, squad insignia, kill markings, and more simple – perfect for when you want to finish off your painted models!

Warhammer 40,000 – Recruit Edition

Functionally, these two boxes are the smallest offerings between the two editions. They both come with a handful of models for their respective factions, dice, a play mat, rules, and some terrain (which is really just the box flipped over). Between the two we have to say that the new Recruit Edition is looking much more enticing – and not just because it’s a larger picture. Model-wise, you get a more useful set of miniatures. Who needs 3 Primaris Intercessors or 3 Reivers? That’s not even 1/2 a squad… With the Recruit Edition, you get functional groupings of minis and we really like that better. So, we deploy our units as directed by the manual: three Assault Intercessors on one side of the board and five Necron Warriors on the other. And just like that, battle begins. Necron Turn 1

To help you decide you might want to splash out on these Warhammer Getting Started magazines or Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40,000, which include all the basic information and a couple of miniatures to help you choose which armies you like the look of best. These miniatures will need painting though, which is the next big step in getting into Warhammer. Well, technically Indomitus was all those things, but this is as good as it’s going to get for those of us who watched starry-eyed from shore as that exclusive, miniature-laden ship sailed away over the horizon, lost to us forever.Warhammer has designed a nifty progression route to ease you into the hobby and there are a number of starter sets that are a cost effective way to start playing with the most popular types of units and models.

With all these awesome ways to get started with Warhammer 40,000 – the Dark Millennium has never looked more inviting. So, make your choice, sound the warhorns and jump right in. Your new hobby awaits! Starting off with a few Comparison Charts so you can know what you get in each set. Warhammer 40,000 Starter Sets – Contents Per EditionIt’s also double-sided, with printed markers on the reverse for those objective-based games. A nice, thoughtful touch – though the fact they are printed on does mean you won’t be able to move them if you so wish to. Just cover ’em with all your new terrain, if needs be. You’ve got enough pieces to do so. The sprues lettering system matches the one found in Indomitus, quite literally down to the letter, as you’ll see below. Now, I may sound like I’m being insincere here but this is a small innovation that really simplifies a core mechanic of the game. Not every game measures movement as Games Workshop games generally do, and some players may even reach a different conclusion on how to execute a move without such a visual aid. Kudos to whoever designed these. Warhammer 40,000 Elite Edition Starter Set Review – The Datasheets Given some of the contents in this box, it might be more accurate to consider this a child of Indomitus. If the Recruit Edition is its toddler and the Elite Edition is its teen, then the Warhammer 40,000 Command Edition is its golden eldest child. It’s good. It’s almost there, but it’s in danger of struggling to get out of the long shadow cast by its super-successful (and, let’s be honest, probably super hot) parent. As for the heads, each model’s noggin will need to be twisted around its body and shoulder to get it to sit in the right place – another thing that isn’t obvious from the guide that a beginner may trip up on. Remember: be gentle and patient with your plastic, and you’ll get there. Necron Plasmacyte
