Warhammer 40k Getting Started with Space Marines

Already set on the Angels of Death? Skip the dabbling and go straight to a proper army. Getting Started with Space Marines hands you a full 13-model Combat Patrol — the ideal first force for Warhammer 40,000 — along with the paints, brush and guidebook to build it, colour it and get it on the table. One box, no guesswork — just add a pair of clippers — and everything you need to march the Emperor's finest to war.

What's in the box

• 13 push-fit Space Marines miniatures, forming a complete Combat Patrol detachment
• 11 Warhammer Colour paints, selected just for Space Marines
• 1 paint brush to get started
• 1 texture spreader tool for quick, characterful bases
• A comprehensive guidebook covering the setting, building and painting

The paints you get

• Base (8): Abaddon Black, Corax White, Mephiston Red, Macragge Blue, Mournfang Brown, Leadbelcher, Retributor Armour and Wraithbone
• Layer (1): Dawnstone — for picking out edges and highlights
• Shade (1): Nuln Oil (17ml) — the classic black wash that makes armour and metal pop
• Texture (1): Astrogranite (17ml) — cracked urban basing in a single coat

That selection covers the whole method — base, shade, highlight and basing — so there's nothing missing between you and a finished, battle-ready force. A Combat Patrol is the standard building block of a 40K army and a ready-made force for smaller games, so you're not just collecting — you're battle-ready from the off.

Supplied unpainted; push-fit assembly, clippers not included. When the Patrol's done, expand it with more Space Marines units or add a 40K Paints + Tools Set to widen your palette.
