In the nightmare future of the 41st Millennium, Humanity teeters on the brink of destruction. Mankind’s alien enemies, the brutal Orks, battle against the valiant Space Marines. It is a desperate struggle that will decide the fate of entire star systems.

Warhammer 40,000 is a tabletop battle game in which you take command of the forces of the Imperium or their deadly foes. This set allows you to fight conflicts between the Space Marines and Orks. The two sides are represented by models – which you assemble and paint yourself – and the action unfolds around evocative battlefield terrain. This set contains everything you need to play Warhammer 40,000, including two Combat Patrols. Learn to play the game with easy-to-follow guides that introduce you to the rules as you play.
