Gateway to the 41st Millennium
This Games Workshop GW4004 Warhammer 40K Introductory Set delivers a complete hobby starter kit for newcomers. It provides push-fit Citadel miniatures for both Space Marine and Tyranid forces alongside essential tools, paints and a 48-page handbook. The box is designed for immediate assembly and play without prior experience.
Tabletop setup and components
The heavyweight gaming mat defines the play area while range rulers and dice handle measurement and resolution. Data sheets and terrain markers keep rules reference organised during sessions. All components store inside the box, requiring no dedicated furniture or external power.
Faction choice decides the army
Sixteen miniatures split between two opposing forces let you choose the noble Space Marines or the swarming Tyranids. A Space Marine transfer sheet adds detail to the finished models. Buyers who want a single-faction army or larger battle sizes will need separate expansions.

Questions about this item
How do I set up the heavyweight gaming mat for my first game?
Unroll the mat on a flat surface and let it settle; the most common mistake is placing terrain before the mat is fully flat, which leaves ridges that affect movement.
Which parts of the introductory set will need replacing after repeated play?
The 48-page handbook and range rulers are durable, but the 16 push-fit miniatures will eventually need fresh paint or replacement if damaged, and the dice can wear down.
What stops me from running longer battles with the included components?
The set provides 16 miniatures and a single 48-page handbook with training missions; once those missions are completed, you will need additional rules and models to continue.
