In the alley, the Skorpekh Destroyer’s whirling hyperphase threshers fell on the Primaris Captain, but the Captain’s shield and armour held against the powerful blows. Retaliating in the Space Marine half of the Fight phase, the Primaris Captain successfully landed two more wounds on the Destroyer, reducing it to 1, whilst in the centre of the field the Intercessors managed to deal a further two wounds to the Overlord, reducing him to 1 as well, whilst the Outriders did absolutely nothing following perhaps the worst dice roll of my life. Oops… Space Marine Turn 3 Amber – These areas are on larger and often curved surfaces, and will require some clean up afterwards such as a hobby knife shave and then a gentle sand Sprue B, which is awash with the vast majority of the Necron models in the box, is where the Command Manual next directs the reader. 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 That was a lot to talk through but big moves are being made in 9th Edition! From three new starters to a multipart kit, there is still plenty of excitement to look forward to.

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 Captain Aside from that, and in spite of a few really tiny components (heads/faces and left arms) these guys aren’t too terrible to put together. Cleaning them up, though is another matter. With mould lines on some of the smallest components, and all the heads are attached to the sprue gates by their chins, for example, getting rid of these may be a bit of an ask for a novice. The Command Manual advises you build the Assault Intercessor Squad first, so that’s where we’ll begin. Space Marine Assault Intercessor Squad Hot on the heels of Indomitus, GW just announced three new starter sets that are on the way for 9th Edition Warhammer 40k, and more! Not far away, the Primaris Captain hoisted up his shield and raised his pistol, determined to trap the Destroyers in their narrow alleyway where they could not surround and overwhelm him. Though his shot missed, he drew his master-crafted power sword and charged.In spite of their best and most savage efforts, the dice did not favour the remaining Scarab Swarms and they failed to further reduce the Primaris Captain’s wounds. Necron Turn 2

On the other side of the battlefield, the Skorpekh Destroyers moved into a similar position, hoping to catch the Space marines in a devastating pincer trapped between Scarabs and Overlord on one flank, Destroyers on the other, all the while the Warriors laid down barrage upon barrage of deadly gauss flayer fire. The bikers retaliate, lashing out with chainswords again, felling another Necron Warrior. Galvanised by their sergeant and his 8+ Leadership statistic, the remaining two Outriders remained steadfast and kept fighting, whilst the Necrons marched onwards, unfazed by the slaughter. Space Marine Turn 2 Given some of the contents in this box, it might be more accurate to consider this a child of Indomitus. If the Recruit Edition is its toddler and the Elite Edition is its teen, then the Warhammer 40,000 Command Edition is its golden eldest child. It’s good. It’s almost there, but it’s in danger of struggling to get out of the long shadow cast by its super-successful (and, let’s be honest, probably super hot) parent. It’s also double-sided, with printed markers on the reverse for those objective-based games. A nice, thoughtful touch – though the fact they are printed on does mean you won’t be able to move them if you so wish to. Just cover ’em with all your new terrain, if needs be. You’ve got enough pieces to do so. Looks like our Industry Insiders were right on the moneywith our previous Starter Sets rumor last week.

Moving on, there’s the Elite Edition which looks to have a Primaris Captain, some Assault Marines, and a squad of Bikers for Space Marines. As for the Necrons, there looks to be a squad of Warriors, Scarabs, Skorpekh Destroyers, and an Overlord. The set includes a handful of miniatures, dice, range rulers, a mat, and a Recruit Manual featuring each unit’s datasheet and guidance to help you learn the basics of the game. It’s an excellent option for younger hobbyists. Elite Edition Mine Warriors were built with the gauss flayers, as recommended by the book itself, though there are enough leftover weapons (and Necron heads, for that matter, as each Necron Warrior comes with a choice of two heads) which leaves you with a ton of excess plastic to do with as you wish. Canoptek Scarab Swarms You may have noticed that none of the new starter sets include the mighty Bladeguard Veterans from the Indomitus boxed set. Well, there’s a reason for that – have you seen these guys?

Warhammer 40,000 Elite Edition - HIGH PRESSURE AIRSOFT

Okay, this one is a tough one. First off let’s talk extras – the Dark Imperium and Command Edition boxes BOTH contain new rule books dice, range finders and all the extras so we’re calling that one a draw. Model-wise, Dark Imperium wins out for sheer number of models. The terrain included is nice for the Command Edition, but c’mon. For a starter box, I want models I can use to play games with… I’ll make due with terrain even if it’s a couple shoeboxes and some random books on the table to represent hills. Also the Command Edition has the same number of models (for their armies) as the Elite Edition. The only differences between the two are the terrain and core books.It was now or never for the Sergeant. His men dead around him, their bikes and corpses crawling with Canoptek Scarabs, if he was going to escape, it had to be soon. Trying to cut his way through the scarabs, the Sergeant cut down the wounded swarm, but sufered a further wound from the Necron forces. The Sergeant retaliates with three wounds on one of the Scarab Swarms and, although it was not enough to destroy it outright, the Swarm was severely crippled. Space Marine Turn 3 With the way forward now clear of Warriors, the Primaris Outriders were no longer in engagement range of any enemies so could fire their big guns again. Their weapons sounding with the pistols of the Intercessors – which, given their size, can be fired at the closest target when in engagement range – though the Necrons’ hard carapaces spared them from further injury. Even when their chainswords sung again, no further wounds were inflicted. By 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. Range rulers and dice – These essential accessories cover you for movement, shooting, close combat and more.

They’re also very easy to get off the sprue given both how large the individual parts are and that there are lots of flat edges for the terrain components to be gated along. The push-fit parts work well as well and feel as if they are holding firmly – though, of course, you may want to glue them anyway if you prefer. Primaris Captain: A superlative commander and highly skilled warrior, a Primaris Captain is the commander of an entire company of his battle-brothers. The model comes supplied with a Citadel 40mm Round Base.

The next step up is the Elite Edition, which features a larger selection of units, including the awesome new Necron Overlord and Primaris Captain miniatures! The Elite Edition is a fantastic option if you’re looking to begin or broaden your collection of Necrons and Space Marines while using the Elite Manual included in the set to learn the game at your own pace.
