Two Complete Combat Patrol Armies

The set includes complete forces for both Space Marines and Orks, giving new players two distinct factions to build, learn, and command. Space Marines bring disciplined warriors, advanced armor, and powerful weapons, while the Orks deliver aggressive close-range action and a characterful tabletop presence.

Because both armies are included, two players can begin learning the game together or one hobbyist can explore two different Warhammer 40,000 factions before expanding into a larger collection.

Learn the Rules and Play Your First Games

The included Core Rules book and Starter Guide introduce the main concepts of Warhammer 40,000 and help new players understand how battles are played. The game board, dice, range rulers, and terrain provide a practical battlefield setup for learning movement, shooting, combat, objectives, and other essential game mechanics.

Create a Complete Warhammer Battlefield

The 15 included terrain pieces and double-sided game board help create an immersive tabletop battlefield straight from the box. Terrain adds cover, obstacles, and tactical choices, giving new players a more complete introduction to Warhammer 40,000 gameplay.
