Warhammer 40,000 Getting Started with Space Marines

Warhammer 40,000 – Getting Started with Space Marines – 60-52

Warhammer 40,000: Getting Started with Space Marines is a complete starter set for hobbyists who want to build, paint, and expand a Space Marines army. With thirteen push-fit miniatures, eleven Warhammer Colour paints, a starter brush, texture spreader, and a comprehensive introductory booklet, this set contains everything needed to prepare a versatile Combat Patrol for the battlefield.

A complete Space Marines Combat Patrol

The set includes a balanced force with powerful leaders, reliable infantry, specialized veterans, and a fast support vehicle. The Captain with Relic Shield forms the sturdy command center of the unit, combining an imposing appearance with heavy protection.

The Librarian brings the psychic power of the Space Marines to the battlefield, while five Intercessors provide a reliable core of armored infantry. Five Vanguard Veterans are focused on fast, aggressive combat and give the force a dynamic elite element. The Land Speeder offers mobility and fire support, allowing the Combat Patrol to quickly respond to threats and objectives.

Ideal for beginning hobbyists

All thirteen Space Marines are push-fit and can be assembled without plastic glue. This makes the set very suitable for new hobbyists who want to get started with building and painting Warhammer miniatures. Clippers are recommended to cleanly remove the parts from the sprues.

The included 36-page softcover introductory booklet guides you step-by-step through the assembly and painting of the models. It also provides an accessible introduction to the Space Marines and their role as genetically enhanced defenders of the Imperium.

Versatile units and build options

The Captain with Relic Shield, Librarian, Vanguard Veteran Sergeant, and the crew of the Land Speeder have head options. This allows you to build these models with a helmet or an unhelmeted head, adding more personality to the force.

The Land Speeder can be equipped with an onslaught gatling cannon for a high volume of fire or a heavy flamer for close-range combat. This choice gives the vehicle a distinctly different look and offers additional options when assembling the unit.

Classic Ultramarines colour scheme

The included paint selection is tailored for painting Space Marines in a classic Ultramarines colour scheme. Macragge Blue forms the base for the power armour, while Retributor Armour is suitable for gold details and Leadbelcher for weapons, engine parts, and other metallic surfaces.

Abaddon Black, Corax White, and Mephiston Red are useful for weapons, Chapter markings, purity seals, and lenses. Mournfang Brown and Wraithbone provide colours for leather, parchment, bones, and decorative details. Dawnstone can be used to pick out grey highlights and technical parts, while Nuln Oil easily adds shadows and depth.

Astrogranite and the included texture spreader allow you to finish the bases directly with a rough urban or rocky surface.
