The Game

The Armies of the 41st Millennium

Back to Main Menu

Warhammer 40,000 is the game of tabletop battles, where powerful warriors battle vicious and merciless aliens in the far distant future of the 41st Millennium.

You command your very own battle force, with hardened troops, deadly vehicles and futuristic weapons of mass destruction. Whether you choose to lead Humanity's finest - The Space Marines, plot the destructive path of the horrific Tyranids, or gather your Orks for a mighty WAAAGH!, you are in control!

Your force is represented by models from the Citadel Miniatures range that you paint and assemble yourself. There are thousands of different troops, vehicles, and engines of war to choose from.

The Warhammer 40,000 Boxed Game contains everything you need to start conquering the universe right away!

Inside the Warhammer 40,000 box, not only will you find the massive tome that is the Warhammer 40,000 Rulebook, but so much more as well. We have included two different forces of Citadel Miniatures, so you can begin fighting battles from the moment you open the box: The Space Marines - genetically altered supermen, and the Dark Eldar - a cruel and vicious race of raiders and pirates!

Don't Panic!!! Of course the Warhammer 40,000 Rulebook contains rules (it has to, especially because we decided to call it a rulebook), but it isn't all rules, there is a whole bunch of other things crammed in it as well!

The Rules - The Rulebook (see above) contains all the rules you need to play Warhammer 40,000. Everything is in one place, from moving and shooting, to close assaults (vicious hand-to-hand combat) and even using vehicles and psychic powers. To make your battles more interesting, there are various battle scenarios to give you new tactical challenges.

Army Lists - Army lists are the guidelines that you use to assemble your, well, army. There are many different armies and alien forces that you can choose to command in the 41st Millennium, and we have included just about everyone we could think of. There are the forces of the Imperium - the Space Marines, the Imperial Guard, and the Sisters of Battle, as well as a few other Heroes of the Imperium that you can add to your Imperial battle group. We have even included army lists for the alien scum that infect the universe: the mysterious Eldar, the greenskinned Orks, the truly alien Tyranids, the malicious Dark Eldar, and those abominations and heretics - the forces of Chaos.

And More! - You will also find tips and information on collecting Warhammer 40,000 armies, painting Citadel Miniatures, and modeling terrain. And of course, there are tons and tons of terrific art and beautifully painted Citadel Miniatures throughout the entire book.

Beyond the Warhammer 40,000 Rulebook and all the dice, templates and outstanding new scenery, you will find the core troops of two different armies, the gallant Space Marines (a Space Marine of the Black Templars chapter is pictured left) and the vile and totally reprehensible Dark Eldar.

The Space Marine force consists of 10 Space Marines and a Space Marine Land Speeder. (pictured below). A Land Speeder is a fast attack vehicle that lets the Space Marines get to grips with the enemy quickly.

Each Space Marine miniature is really a multi-piece model. You can assemble your Space Marines in all sorts of poses, and there are loads of different accessories you can equip them with, from scanners and grenades, to different heads and weapons.

You also get the additional parts to make a Space Marine Sergeant, a Space Marine with a Missile Launcher, and a Space Marine equipped with a flamer (great for forcing enemy troops out of cover!). Even the Land Speeder comes with different weapons, so you can pick the right one for the job.

The opposing force is composed of 20 Dark Eldar Warriors. These are multi-piece models as well. You can equip your Dark Eldar with wicked hand-to-hand combat weapons, Splinter Rifles, or the dreaded Splinter Cannon. And there are tons of extra pieces you can add, like spikes and blades for weapons, as well as different heads and crests.

The Warhammer 40,000 Rulebook contains great tips for assembling your models, with advice and step-by-step instructions for painting and basing your models so you can start battling it out right away. There are also lots of examples of different color schemes for the Dark Eldar and the Space Marines.

After a few games, you can add and expand your forces easily. Citadel Miniatures makes thousands of fantastic models for use with Warhammer 40,000. From the massive tanks and Dreadnoughts of the Imperium, to the sleek and deadly troops and vehicles of the Eldar. The Dark Eldar are a completely new army for Warhammer 40,000 and we have tons of new miniatures and vehicles on the way. You can see some of the great miniatures throughout these pages. For a more indepth look, feel free to check out our Online Mail Order Store which contains just about every Citadel Miniature Games Workshop makes.

Warhammer 40,000 Codex books are a series of supplements designed to expand the Warhammer 40,000 universe. These books will allow us to explore a particular army in depth. Not only will each Codex contain an army list with all the special equipment and armament available to them, but so much more as well. The Codexes will include collecting and painting guides, tactical advice, Special Characters for you to include in your own army, as well as new scenarios, great art, and background information.

We have a whole slew of Codexes planned, and the first Codex book to be released will be the Codex Space Marines.

Following the Codex Space Marines will be the Codex Dark Eldar. Since the Dark Eldar are a new race to the Warhammer 40,000 universe, we have a bunch of great new models and vehicles planned as well.
