In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.

Across the far-flung worlds of the Imperium of Mankind, in a galaxy riven by warp storms and unceasing conflict, the armies of Humanity battle for survival. With the Imperium already standing upon the brink of annihilation, the Tyranid hive fleets emerge from the cold void between the stars. The Space Marines stand as the last line of defence between this ravenous alien menace and the beleaguered worlds of the Imperium.

Take the plunge into the 41st Millennium with the Ultimate Starter Set for Warhammer 40,000. This box gives you a complete introductory experience, with loads of incredible models, a battlefield to fight over, helpful guides, and all the dice, tools, and rules you need to play your first games. Pick the noble Space Marines or swarming Tyranids, give control of the other army to a friend or family member, and battle it out for hours of entertainment. There’s no better way to get into the Warhammer 40,000 hobby – this box is also an excellent way to expand your existing collections.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are miniatures used for in tabletop games?

    Miniatures are small, detailed models used in tabletop games to represent characters, creatures, and scenery. They enhance the visual experience and aid in gameplay by providing a physical representation of game elements.

    How do I paint my miniatures?

    Painting miniatures involves several steps: priming the miniature with a base coat, applying base colors, adding details with fine brushes, and finishing with a protective sealant. Many hobbyists use acrylic paints and invest in quality brushes for the best results. You can pick some up from our Paints Section

    What materials are miniatures typically made from?

    Miniatures are commonly made from plastic, resin, or metal. Each material has its own advantages; plastic is lightweight and affordable, resin captures fine details well, and metal miniatures are durable and have a classic feel.

    How can I start collecting miniatures?

    Start by choosing a game or genre that interests you. Purchase a starter set or a few miniatures to begin with, and gradually expand your collection. Joining local gaming groups or online communities can provide valuable advice and support.

    Where can I buy miniatures?

    Miniatures can be purchased from Here. As well as from Hobby shops like our Gaming Centre, or at Conventions, or Games Workshop

    What are some tips for assembling miniatures?

    Use a hobby knife or clippers to carefully remove pieces from sprues. Dry fit parts before gluing to ensure proper alignment, and use a plastic or super glue appropriate for the material. Allow glued parts to fully dry before handling. All of these can be found Here

    Can miniatures be used in different games?

    While some miniatures are specific to certain games, many can be used across different tabletop games and RPGs, especially if they fit the theme or setting. Check the scale and style to ensure compatibility.

    How should I store and transport my miniatures?

    Store miniatures in a cool, dry place, ideally in a protective case with individual compartments to prevent damage. When transporting, use foam trays or padded bags to cushion the miniatures and keep them secure.

    Are there any beginner-friendly miniature painting tutorials?

    Yes, there are many beginner-friendly tutorials available online. Websites, YouTube channels, and hobby blogs often provide step-by-step guides and videos to help newcomers learn painting techniques and improve their skills.
