This deck of cards allows more serious gamers and tournament-minded collectors to begin honing their skills within the new edition from the word go. That they go together quickly and easily (though mine did have quite a few mould lines, so be prepared to make ready with whatever tool you have to remove those) is a blessing, and I’d likely be being far harsher on these miniatures were that not the case. Make sure all contact points are flush and that you haven’t got any sprue gates or errant bits of plastic clogging up the gaps, or they really will show. Whilst we as content creators and influencers can, have, and will continue to feed back the community’s thoughts and feelings as best as we can do to the people we are in contact with, we are not able to affect change at the level some people seem to think we can. The cards and rulebook will allow experienced players to get started with the new edition right away in supreme style, and even the new transfer sheet, covered in unique and individual markings to help bring more and more character to your minis, speaks volumes about personalisation, the embracing of different narrative directions, and multiple ways to play Warhammer.

Now, that sentence will mean absolutely nothing to non-gamers, but to put it simply: this is the deck of cards used to determine missions during competitive play. Dark Imperium and The Forces of the 41st Millennium each offer a deep dive on the state of play in the galaxy, examining its history, its major players, and key locations.If you’re still mad with me for saying that from an artistic perspective the Tyranid Prime doesn’t have the same level of clout to the Tyranid part of the box as the Terminator Captain does to the Space Marines back at the top of this section, allow me to present my next argument.

We also know which units he can be attached to with his Leader ability: the Captain can be in the front alongside some Relic Terminators, Terminator Assault Squads or “regular” Terminators. One thing to keep in mind, this will all be ETB (not a bad thing, just something to think about), and it might be a while before we see all the releases separately.

As the name suggests, Von Ryan’s Leapers are intended to be an agile, nimble unit, and these lithe, sinewy monsters capture the essence of that role with ease. Librarians are the battle psykers of the Space Marines, smiting foes with bolts of witchfire and manipulating the empyrean to shield their allies.

With no fewer than 72 in the box – split 25 Space Marines and 47 Tyranids – there’s an absolute mountain of stuff to get through here.They are essentially a separate insert bound into the rest of the book between the “The Xenos Threat” and “Combat Patrol” sections of the book.

However, these fangs are very regular and linear, and don’t look very realistic – though I recognise the irony in describing part of a model of an alien “unrealistic”. I’m no illustrator and can’t draw for toffee, but every time I find myself face-to-face with some official GW IP art, I desperately with I could.is, after all, far more popular than Age of Sigmar (which is not to suggest AoS is not popular, but this is like comparing the relative wealth of Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk – no matter how you look at it, the number is still insanely high), and the simple opportunity to make cash money here is surely too good to pass up. Beamed into the thick of the action with a teleport homer, few horrors in the galaxy can withstand their sledgehammer onslaught. Some people will love it for the reasons I’m not so keen on it, and there will also be plenty of people who feel this mini lacks a bit of wallop. Encased in Terminator armour, he’s one of the most durable psykers available to Space Marine forces. I’ve a soft spot for Apothecaries ever since I picked up the regular Primaris Apothecary model from my FLGS a few months ago and entered him in a competition there (he ultimately lost to an Angron in a turn of events that surprised literally no one!
