About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a bloodbath (of plastic!) because the 11th Edition of Warhammer 40,000 has arrived with the Armageddon box! This beauty throws you right into the heart of the war for the planet Armageddon, pitting the legendary Blood Angels Space Marines against an overwhelming tide of Orks. If you love seeing incredible miniatures come to life on the battlefield, this box is for you. It includes over 60 plastic miniatures that snap together without glue, divided between the genetically enhanced warriors of the Imperium and the savage Orks, ready for war. Beyond the shock troops, you'll find a Captain, a Librarian, a Chaplain, an Ancient, Intercessors, Vanguard Veterans, and Eradicators for the Space Marines; and a Warboss, Bannernob, Bigboss, Painboy with Grot, Weirdboy, Ork Boyz, Gretchin, a Wartrakk, and a Big Mek for the Ork horde. There are even vehicles like the Land Speeder and Wartrakk! To complete the experience, the box comes with a detailed lore book about the Armageddon campaign, an essential rules booklet, mission cards, a campaign deck, and unit data sheets to get you playing quickly. It's the complete package for anyone wanting to dive headfirst into this universe or expand their collection with brand-new units. The rules system, with dice rolling and line of sight, brings the classic tension of a wargame, while the unique powers of each faction add that extra layer of strategy. Perfect for those who love military strategy and aren't afraid of good tactical combat.
