About the game

What you do in a play session

In Warhammer 40K's grimdark universe, there is only war — and 'Leviathan' is its peak. This box delivers two epic armies in detailed miniatures: the mighty Space Marines vs. the insane Tyranid horde in the 4th Tyrannic War. Beyond 72 push-fit miniatures ready to paint, you get a full rulebook with the Crusade system, where your army grows through narrative campaigns. Gameplay? Pure tactical clash: dice decide attacks, movement is measured with rulers, and every choice can turn the tide. The 'grimdark' setting is so rich you can almost smell plasma and alien blood. PS: Don’t expect diplomacy — here, the goal is total annihilation.
