Warhammer 40,000: Introductory Set

 

 

Quote

What if you’re looking for a quick taste of the 41st Millennium all wrapped up in a single box, with miniatures and paints enough for two friends just getting started with their hobby? The Introductory Set is designed for the very new and eminently curious, coming with 12 miniatures, six paints, an introductory book, a set of folding card terrain, a game mat, and all sorts of information to get started.

Since it’s not a new edition of Warhammer 40,000 without a new Space Marines Lieutenant, the Introductory Set includes one! In fact, all 12 of the miniatures – Space Marines Lieutenant, 5 Intercessors, Ork Nob, and 5 Boyz – are brand new and are available first in this Introductory Set.  Ork players take note – this is also an easy way to add a rocket launcha and a big shoota into the Boyz squad from the Armageddon launch box.

Combat Patrol: Battlezone

Easily create a Combat Patrol-sized battlefield with this new terrain set. It features unpainted push-fit scenery, fold-out game boards, and terrain footprints, making setup a doddle for your games of Warhammer 40,000. This terrain setup is perfect for those just getting into Warhammer, and fans of smaller, quick-fire games. Plus, you can combine it with the terrain from the Starter Set for a full Strike Force-sized battlefield.

Knowing GW´s terrain prices, those prepainted ones are gonna be what... 15quids more atleast?

I actually like the introductory set, and I like that all the models are unique 

[Nephaston]

I'm gonna make a wager that these ork kits might also have interchangeability with the push-fit ones.

Per the stream, the half-box of unpainted terrain (sized for a combat patrol game) will be "about the price of a combat patrol" and the full box of "ready painted" terrain will be "a little more than two combat patrols."  I think this probably puts it at like 150-175 USD for an unpainted half board or about 400 for a full box of pre-painted.  The unpainted stuff is all coming first, and then the big box of prepainted terrain is coming later this fall.

Eddie said it would be slightly more than two combat patrols.

Something odd going on with the legs of the introductory set marines.  Reloading chap is cool though.

Introductory set orks are really nice. Only five though... Isn't boyz minimum squad size ten? Weird to sell just half an unit...

 

The terrain is nice, I guess. I don't like the small roboarms on the walls. They look flat and unnatural. Also disappointed that there was no 3d version of the terrain area footprints.

Nine orks plus a nob, so one introductory set and two sets of the one with paint will be a full unit (plus two grots to pose on the trukk or the base of the new bikers in front of the wheels :)

i see they´re finally upping the paintscheme looks atleast little bit. Also the lower part of marine greaves seems to have segments like old marks

[Brainmisfire]

Did anyone else kinda feel there were too many different starter sets? The reveals just kept going. Not a big deal, just seems kinda weird to me that they would have so many different ones.

 

Also, I'm a bit disappointed that there are 11 paints in the getting started with space marines box, because I've been leaning toward getting that since it was teased, but only because I assumed it would be priced cheaper than a combat patrol. With that many paints in it, I'm worried how they're going to price it.

 

Now I'm back to wondering if I should get the Armageddon box and sell the Ork half lol.

 

I do think there are a lot of great options here for new players though.
