Hey guys.
I lifted this from another forum. This is the contents of the new 40k starter box coming in October.
The 5th edition starter set for $60usd is Ultramarines vs. Orks and its contents are...
Ultramarines
1 beakie Captain with Powersword. Very ornate with a large cape many tassels.
10 beakie Tactical Squad. Sergeant with Bolt pistol and CCW. Missile Launcher, Flamer.
1 Dreadnought: Multimelta and Stormbolter.
5 Terminators: 1 Sergeant with Powersword. The squad has Stormbolters and Powerfists with no heavy weapon provided.
Orks
Ork Warboss is VERY LARGE. He’s armed with a twin-linked shoota and Klaw. He is holding his power klaw out to the side pointing with one of the claws.
20 Ork boyz split into two 10-boy mobs. Each has a big shoota.
5 Nobs: All are armed with slugga & choppa. Large models.
3 Deff Koptas: AMAZING! The standouts of the boxed set. They are described to be very much like the one depicted in the ork codex. Standard orky construction with spare parts and bitz all over. State of the art detail for snap-fit models.
Plus templates, dice and mini-rulebook.
The rumor is that the deff koptas will not be available seperately but the nobs will be released in a stand alone multipart kit.
There are conflicting accounts of whether the mini-rulebook is a full set of rules or if it has deliberately deleted sections to force players to buy the hardbound book. These rumors are similar to the ones that were circulated when Battle for Maccragge was coming out, and that mini-rule book had a full set of rules despite having sections removed from it. To early to tell still on this....
More to come.
