Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000: Elite Edition Starter Set

Product Information

If any models provided any difficulty, it would be the Necrons, but that’s mostly due to the exceedingly thin pieces. Due to how brittle they are, you may need to be a bit more careful than with the Space Marines. In fact, one of the Necron’s tiny spindly arms was broken in the box when I opened it. There is a menacing synchronicity in the unit: ten skeleton-like space robots fearlessly marching ahead, driven by pure mechanical desire. Their contrast to the Space Marines is stark, but they have their own unique dark energy. Once you’ve mastered the basic rules and got the hang of your Space Marines and Necrons, you can expand your forces and play larger games with the Elite Edition. The Elite Manual gives you a wider overview of the game and lore, along with expanded rules for you to use with your new models.

The price point for this one is just right for those who really want to get into Warhammer 40,000 but can’t quite afford th e Command Set – But if you’re new and this price puts you off – please don’t look at how much some individual models and squads may cost in the future. Before we start pulling this thing apart in earnest, I want to take a moment to draw everyone’s attention to the box art.Ok, let’s get into the meat of it, the models themselves – I’ve broken this down into two tables, Space Marines & Necrons It’s worth noting that the Elite Manual instructs you to build all ten of the Necron Warriors with Gauss Flayers and the first Mission requires these. Outside of that, however, it’s really up to you. I decided to build five with Flayers and five with Reapers since the datasheet allows you freely mix up what you have.

Of all the models in the box, these are the ones you’ll need to work for. Fused to their sprue gates like iron soldered to iron, cutting these guys from the sprue was a task, and getting rid of all those mould lines and little nodules of leftover plastic was hard work. It was a good job the vast majority of the cuts that needed to be made to the sprue to get these guys don’t require too much delicacy. Thus began the battles between Roburte Guillethwaite’s Space Marines and the Necrons of the Lizzekh Dynasty. Warhammer 40,000 Command Edition Starter Set Review – Battle Report Introduction Though it leaves me wondering, what about all of those other awesome Models we got in the Indomitus Set? Sprues G & H which have some awesome models like the Judiciar, the Chaplain and the Skorpekh Lord? Those moulds can’t have been used purely for Indomitus right? Things start to get unique with Sprue D. Here you’ll find the towering Necron Overlord and the beautiful Primaris Captain – the iconic warrior clutching his sword and shield so synonymous with Ninth Edition. Space Marine Primaris CaptainBy this point, victory for the Primaris Captain seemed assured. Raising his blade one final time to strike at his robotic foe, the valiant Space Marine slashed with devastating force and accuracy at the remaining Canoptek Scarabs, inflicting the final two wounds needed to destroy them outright. A lone victor.

After the plastic has been decanted we have the card divider we’ve come to expect in Warhammer boxes. These are usually far more visually impressive than they have any business being for the function they serve. The Artful Divider I can see it already: Necron circuits frying as their frontline gaze in awe at the Space Marine Outriders as they desperately try to compute how they could ever possibly hope to look as formidable. Fresh from one of the larger sprues in the box come three bike-mounted badasses. You get no options with these guys: its two guys in helmets waving chainswords about, and a dude brandishing a bolter with his head uncovered. But these guys look so nice that I don’t care.I enjoy the wealth of options the come with, I find them easier to break into sub-assemblies for painting and I like that I can customise and project a bit of personality on to them. Hint: that may have happened to the author during his first game of Warhammer Fantasy Battles. Warhammer 40,000 Elite Edition Starter Set Review – Unboxing The Elite Edition Starter Set. Think of this as the “Grande” of the new starter sets. There are a handful of extras left on the sprue – including a variant chestplate for your Intercessor Sergeant (one without the shield-shaped badge) that is not noted in the construction guide, so it’s something to be aware of if you’d rather not have that on your sergeant instead.
