Description

There is a ton of value in the new Warhammer 40k Leviathan 10th Edition Starter Box; here is the retail price with the savings breakdown! It’s worth calling out that these are WAY bigger than they looked in promotional shots, they absolutely tower over normal Primaris models and look suitably menacing when doing so! It seems Games Workshop is really keen to get people playing, however. See, the other thing in the box is the… Battle for Oghram Flyer 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. Each is posed as if in mid-strike, natural weapons raised or Cthulhu-esque mouth-limbs reaching for a target. Again, they’re gross, but absolutely gorgeous.

Happily, however, we didn’t find any mistakes or issues with the Leviathan construction guide. If there were, they were so minor we didn’t notice enough to commit them to memory. Liam: The Termagants and Rippers are a single frame (or rather three small frames) together, as is tradition. You get ten Termagants and a single Ripper Swarm per full set of sprues, and the Leviathan box has two of these for twenty and two total, respectively. This model is spectacular. Drenched in all manner of details – from their turning shields, their purity seals, the heraldic elements of their armour and their masterfully-sculpted face – there is literally nothing to not like about this miniature. Mounted on an impressive scenic base, too, this models is commmanding no matter where it is – safely stored in pride-of-place on a hobby shelf or leading your Space Marines to glorious victory on the tabletop. These tougher-than-tough Space Marines have been in dire need of a new kit for several years now, and Leviathan delivers them with a great deal of class. Similar in some ways to the popular Bladeguard Veterans, the new Sternguard take everything that was cool about the original Sternguard Veterans and brings them into the 2020s – with a few obvious homages to their original sculpts. One big thing to remember is that these models will all be East To Build (ETB) or Push Fit, which could affect the value. However, with the Indomitus box, some models came out later with multi-part kits, while others have remained ETB to this day (like the Necron Warriors or SM Outriders.)Don’t get this book confused with a how to play guide – that it is most certainly not. If you’re a newcomer to the world of Warhammer 40,000 and are hoping to learn how to play your first few games from the contents of this set, whilst this is probably possible, I’d advocate waiting to see if there are any Tenth Edition Starter Sets due to be released further down the line as these’ll be much easier to get to grips with. While there are some incredible models in this box, the Barbgaunts are one of the standouts for me, as they are a silent killer: while they don’t really wipe enemies off the battlefield with their 0 AP Damage 1 weapons, their Disruption Bombardment can make life hell for armies that want to get up close and personal, as it subtracts 2 from every type of movement they can make, let it be a simple Move, an Advance or a Charge. This makes them perfect to hold key objectives or protect key targets, where they can rain bio-hell down upon everyone brave enough to get close to them.

The miniatures are divided into 25 elite, battle-hardened Space Marines* – the Imperium’s ultimate defenders against innumerable horrors – and a seething swarm of 47 ravenous Tyranids that desire nothing more than to consume all the biomass in the galaxy. Let’s take a closer look at each army. When you’re faced with innumerable hordes of xenos, an Infernus Squad is the perfect tool. Armed with Pyreblasters that spit gouts of incandescent flame, they purge their foes with fiery wrath. Ballistus Dreadnought Either way, this has a ton of value for both sides and with so many new models, we expect this to sell like hotcakes. If you split this with someone, this will basically be the best value we’ve seen in a box since Indomitus.

As with the rest of the Tyranid models in this box, it’s a joy to paint. Not only do you have the big carapace armor which you know and love on all Tyranid models, but you’re also given this huge belly to work with. Pendulin: These new Termagants are easier to build, better looking, on a larger base, and with more realistic proportions. Primaris Termagants. They’re the upgrade I didn’t know I wanted. These are awesome. Hopefully we’ll see some chapter-by-chapter variations, such as those linked above. Infernus Squad

The Ballistus Dreadnought is a fearsome weapons platform armed with a versatile missile launcher and a devastating lascannon, the perfect counter to heavily armoured enemy monsters and tanks. Read more about the Space Marine side of the box here: Comparing old to new Termagants, the main difference is the fineness of the detail – they’re very clearly the same thing, just with 20 years of extra modelling experience to make everything a little bit sharper and more defined. If you’re considering painting a hundred of them that might make you sweat a bit, but personally I painted all of mine with Contrast and they take to it really well.The Tyranids side of the Leviathan box has more highs and lows than the Space Marines side. Whilst the Space Marines are all great, with a few really great miniatures, the Tyranids are, by and large, okay with one or two more disappointing minis, but also a couple of seriously impressive figures too.
