![]() ![]() I love this, as Crusade is what excites me most for 40k and the inclusion means that I have one big book with all the various ways to play in a single book – Again I’m not going to go into too much detail here as we’ve written a full Tyrannic War Crusade article which you can find hereĪs ever the Rule Book is gorgeous and filled with art, both old and new, lore and background that really gets your hobby juices flowing to start a new army. I’m not going to go into the rules here, as we have a full article focused on just the rules here – so check that out if you want to learn more about how 10th edition plays!Īlso included in the book is a full Crusade supplement “Tyrannic War” – this is the first Crusade supplement for the game, and will later be released separately, but is included within the Leviathan book as an extra. This is a great idea and makes it much quicker to look things up – this is also boosted by having an index in the front and back of the book. This has been in every “big book” version of the rulebook since the game came out, but what is new here is that the core rules themselves are separately numbered so that if and when Games Workshop publish them in another form (For example as an online document or as a softback slim version in battle boxes) then any page references will match up across all versions of the rules regardless of what version you have. Well when you first slide the lid off the box you are greeted with a stack of sprues to build up two armies – The Space Marines and the TyranidsĪlso inside the box is the hardback Leviathan Rule Book – This is an interesting one as it’s exclusive to this box and contains 200 pages of background and hobby information, including details of every Combat Patrol available along with lore and images of painted models. While I do recommend people new to the hobby to pick it up to, I do have to stress that it doesn’t contain dice, measuring tools or a “get started” guide – so for beginners there will be a slightly steeper learning curve than the dedicated starter sets that I am sure will follow some time after. ![]() Leviathan on the other hand is a “Launch Box” and is pitched as being a way of Warhammer 40,000 players to pick up two armies along with a limited edition book and a collection of other goodies. If you think back to the 9th edition launch, Indomitus was followed by a trio of starter sets across a range of price points that are all aimed at people looking to dip their toe in the hobby. Well, Games Workshop tend to use the “Starter set” label for boxes that are designed to introduce new players to the game – these tend to have a playing surface in the box, include dice, and have a “learn to play” booklet that talks you through the initial steps to learning the game. So what exactly is a launch box? Is it a starter set? ![]() You can see that just below or over on YouTubeĬan you believe it’s been 3 years since the 9th edition of Warhammer 40k burst onto the scene with the awesome Indomitus box? Chock full of Space Marines and Necrons, Indomitus was launch box for the edition, heralding in the latest rules along with two small armies, and it’s safe to say it was very popular with it flying off the shelves and leading to Games Workshop having to do a made to order run in order to keep up with the demand.įast forward 3 years, and we now have the launch box for 10th Edition “Leviathan”. To accompany this article we have a full unboxing video that goes through all the contents along with some shots of the finished Space Marines and Tyranids painted up by the Sprues & Brews team.
