Getting Started With Warhammer 40,000
Enter the Grim Darkness of the Far Future.
In the 41st Millennium, there is only war. Warhammer 40,000 is a tabletop hobby that combines deep strategic gameplay, incredible storytelling, and the creative joy of building and painting your own army of miniatures. Whether you want to lead the heroic Space Marines, the terrifying Tyranids, or the technologically advanced T'au Empire, your journey starts here.
Why Warhammer 40,000 is the World's #1 Hobby
A Universe of Infinite Lore: From the tragic fall of the Emperor to the desperate defense of Hive Worlds, the setting of 40k is one of the most immersive sci-fi universes ever created.
Creative Expression: No two armies look the same. You choose the colors, the battle-damage, and the themes of your soldiers, making your collection a unique work of art.
Tactical Depth: 10th Edition 40k is designed to be fast-paced and accessible, offering a deep strategic challenge whether you're playing a quick "Combat Patrol" game or a massive narrative campaign.
A Thriving Community: Joining the hobby means joining a global community of players. From local clubs in South Africa to international tournaments, there’s always a battle waiting for you.
The 3 Pillars of the Hobby
Collect: Choose the faction that speaks to you. Do you love high-tech tanks, swarms of aliens, or elite armored super-soldiers?
Build & Paint: Use Citadel tools and paints to bring your grey plastic to life. It’s a meditative, rewarding process that transforms "models" into "your army."
Play: Use your miniatures to battle friends on the tabletop, utilizing dice, rulers, and your army's unique rules to achieve victory.
How to Take Your First Step For those brand new to the setting, we recommend starting with one of these three entry points:
The Introductory Set: The perfect "all-in-one" box containing 5 Space Marines, 11 Tyranids, paints, a brush, and clippers.
The Starter Set: A step up for those who want more models and the core rules to start playing games immediately.
Combat Patrol: The definitive way to play. Each Combat Patrol box is a complete, balanced army in a single box—just build, and you're ready for the table.
Hobby Essentials
Tools: A pair of Citadel Clippers and a Mouldline Remover.
Glue: Citadel Plastic Glue (for plastic models) or Super Glue.
Paints: Start with a Contrast Paint set for fast, professional-looking results.
Combat Specs
Game Type: Sci-Fi Tabletop Wargame
Primary Specialty: Strategic Unit Management & Narrative Play
Signature System: 10th Edition Core Rules – Streamlined for speed and balance.
Play-style: The "Ultimate Sandbox"—you can play a 30-minute skirmish or an all-day tactical epic. You control the pace, the size of the war, and the story of your soldiers.
In the Grim Darkness... There has never been a better time to start. The rules are clearer, the models are more detailed, and the community is larger than ever before. Pick your side, ready your bolter, and prepare to forge your own legend among the stars.
"It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries The Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the Master of Mankind by the will of the gods... and you are his sword."
