Warhammer 40,000 Introductory Set – Space Marines vs Tyranids
In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.
The Warhammer 40,000 Introductory Set provides a complete beginner-friendly introduction to building, painting, and playing Warhammer 40K. This version features the genetically enhanced Space Marines battling the relentless Tyranids in the war-torn 41st Millennium.
Across the far-flung worlds of the Imperium of Mankind, Humanity fights for survival against enemies on every front. As Tyranid hive fleets emerge from the darkness between the stars, the Space Marines stand as a final line of defense against a force driven to consume all life.
Designed for new players and miniature painters, this boxed set includes 16 push-fit Citadel miniatures, a beginner handbook, gaming mat, dice, range ruler, terrain markers, hobby tools, and five Citadel Colour paints. The push-fit models are designed for straightforward assembly without glue, making the set an accessible starting point for the Warhammer 40,000 hobby .

Space Marine Miniatures

Tyranid Miniatures
Tyranids are alien creatures controlled by a vast hive mind. Their organic armor, claws, living weapons, and varied textures provide a very different painting experience from the clean, armored appearance of the Space Marines.
