Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Leviathan (10th Edition Boxed Set)

Product Information

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. For the Barbgaunts, we could swap in the Tyranid Warriors’ price, which is around 40, as they are bigger models which come in smaller numbers,

So here are the overall contents for the Leviathon box. We’ll break it down by faction, starting with the Space Marines. I will comment that these models are a bit of a drag to paint, they are remarkably dense with details and armor carapace layers, it makes the painting process feel just a bit long as you are working your way through the full unit. The Winged Tyranid Prime is a hideous alpha-beast that combines strength with agility, swooping above the battlefield and identifying targets to descend upon and tear apart with razor-sharp talons. Neurotyrant While the Winged Hive Tyrant is the designated Leader of the Tyranids in this box, the Neurotyrant can also fill those shoes. This horrifying floating brain has some incredible capabilities as the Leader of either some Tyrant Guard or Neurogaunts, buffing their Hit and Wound rolls, the Shadow in the Warp Army Rule and the Synapse of the Tyranid army. It also has a very strong Psychic ranged weapon, which lets it deal heavy damage to lightly armoured units – and also make the best use of Fire Overwatch thanks to the Torrent keyword, which makes the shots automatically hit.What Else Is in Leviathan? Mission Cards, Crusade Rules, and a Big Ol’ Book (29/04/23) (last accessed 29/04/23) The BallistusDreadnought is a walking war-machine equipped with aballistus missile launcher andballistus lascannon. Built on the Redemptor dreadnought chassis, this is the first Primaris-sized fire support dreadnought. The lascannon / missile loadout is a classic, making its debut on the (solid metal) 2nd edition Dark Angels dreadnought.

Space Marine Terminators are heavily armed veterans in the most advanced warsuits available to the Imperium of Man, capable of deploying to the battlefield in a teleportation strike. Games Workshop has already revealed the full stats for the terminators in 10th edition, and the new starter set comes with five of them. Liam: For some reason these completely passed me by in the preview posts – not helped by there being nearly 50 models on the Tyranid side, with some updates of classics in there and a bunch of awesome new big bugs as well. The “gaunt” in their name suggests something much smaller than they are – in reality they stand on 40mm bases and are easily the size of a Primaris Marine. The three-legged stance gives these guys some real heft; they look like they’re struggling under the weight of their oversized guns. 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.

The miniature also looks incredibly awesome and I absolutely love the utter terror that this radiates. Imagine seeing this seething mass of pulsing brains and tentacles hovering towards you across the battlefield. I like that it comes with a pair of "Wi-Fi boosters" as well! 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 Warhammer Hobby section comes first, explaining the fun of collecting, building, painting, and playing with your miniatures. 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. Then there are the Crusade Rules . These will be released as a separate supplement book later this year, but for now this book is the place to find them. It’s a comprehensive guide to campaigning in the Fourth Tyrannic War – including the story of the conflict, rules for building and developing your own Crusade army, and a full swathe of narrative missions and upgrades specific to the Tyrannic War.

We arrive at the miniatures. 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. It can be a bit intimidating at first, particularly for newcomers, so we’ve put together our popular coloured sprue pictures for those of you who use them.

As with Indomitus, Leviathan comes with an extra-large transfer sheet for some possible Space Marine armies. Indomitus buyers found themselves the owners of a transfer sheet containing chapter-specific marking for Ultramarines, Blood Angels, Space Wolves and Dark Angels. This list has been extended even further this time, however, as Leviathan buyers will gain transfers for Ultramarines, Dark Angels, Blood Angels, Space Wolves, Raven Guard, Imperial Fists and a selection of more generic marking that can be used across all chapters.

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. While you can deploy both armies in full to play a brutal but balanced game of Warhammer 40,000, the box also contains more than enough models to form two full Combat Patrols that will let you play this new, faster-paced game format right out of the box. What Else is in the Box? If the leaks are true, the 10 th Edition of Warhammer 40k is releasing on the 24 th of June, alongside the Leviathan Box, the Starter Kit of the new Edition. This box will contain some amazing new miniatures, and Games Workshop chose the new Tyranid and Space Marine models to showcase the first full datasheets of the next Edition! Esports News » General » Warhammer 40k Leviathan Box Unit Datasheets are Here – and They Look Great!Up first we have the new command units – the Tyranid Prime and the Space Marine Captain in Terminator Armour. You’ve seen these chaps in the awesome cinematic trailer; you’ve seen their models teased at Warhammer Fest. Now, you can get a close-up, no-holds-barred look at them. 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. Leading the way for the Tyranids is the Winged Tyranid Prime which is going to be swooping across the battlefield looking to scythe you into little pieces. Those wings are going to allow it to get right into the heart of the action, avoiding the gunfire from your opponent with ease. This set will get you bang up to date with the current storyline in Warhammer 40,000, but if you want to explore the horrors of the Fourth Tyrannic War, there’s the Leviathan tie-in novel by Darius Hinks, in which the Ultramarines mount a desperate defence in the face of the monstrous Hive Fleet Leviathan. Next up, the unit that’s got everyone all a-fluster: the brand-new and improved Terminators. Here’s the sprue:
