Editing Warhammer 40,000 8th edition (section)

==Boxed Sets==
*Dark Imperium, the starter set for 8th, will be [[Death Guard]] vs. Primaris [[Ultramarines]]. It contains brand-new models for the Primaris Space Marine squads, new Death Guard models, and 5 new Death Guard units; the Foetid Bloat-Drone, Poxwalkers (basically plague zombies), the Lord of Contagion, Noxious Blightbringer, and the Malignant Plaguecaster. Fluff-wise, it is about the Plague Wars being fought in the Ultramar sub-sector.
*First strike is a getting started set for 8th, which contains [[Death Guard]] vs primaris [[Ultramarines]]. It contains 3 reivers, 3 Intercessors, 3 plague marines and 6 pox walkers all of whom are “easy to build” models. It also contains the rules for the contained models, a small guidebook with an unknown amount of scenarios, and a "double-sided gaming mat in the box, and it’s printed so that it doubles as a set of cardboard Munitorum Armoured Containers". It has been released and is $30, making for a good start into the hobby.
*Know no fear seems to be a "mini dark Imperium", with 2 armies - [[Death Guard]] and Primaris [[Ultramarines]], as well as the core rules and model rules, a starter set book (probably a more detailed version of the First Strike Book), and a larger play-mat and cardboard scenery. Fluff-wise, it seems like Know no fear and First strike are both smaller battles being fought during the Plague wars. The models included are:
**[[Death Guard]] - 1 Foetid Bloat-drone, 10 Pox walkers, 5 Plague Marines and 1 Lord of Contagion. 
**[[Primaris Marines]] - 3 Inceptors, 5 Hellblasters, 5 intercessors and 1 Primaris captain. 
*Forgebane is another starter set, and the first not to use Ultramarines or the Death Guard. Instead, it's Adeptus Mechanicus against Necrons in a fight over a Forge World that was really a Tomb World. The models included appear to be:
**Adeptus Mechanicus - 1 Magos Dominus, 10 Skitarii Rangers, and 2 Knight Armiger Warglaives.
**Necrons- 1 Cryptek (with canoptek cloak), 5 Immortals, 5 Lychguard, and 3 Canoptek Wraiths.
*Imperial Knights: Renegades features a one-on-one knight battle between Chaos and Imperial knights. 
**More importantly, this box gives you a free knight. It's two knights and a scenery piece, but costs as much as one knight and the scenery.
*Tooth and Claw is another new starter set, this time featuring Space Wolves and Genestealer Cults battling over the planet Vigilus, the Imperium's foothold in the Nachmund Gauntlet. 
**Space Wolves- 1 Primaris Battle Leader, 5 Intercessors, 3 Aggressors, and 1 Redemptor Dreadnought
**Genestealer Cults- 1 Abominant Leader, 5 Aberrants, 1 Acolyte Iconward, 5 Hybrid Metamorphs, and 8 Purestrain Genestealers.
*Wake the Dead - Another starter set in line with Tooth and Claw. This set pits Primaris Ultramarines against Eldar of Craftworld Saim-Hann and their wraith-constructs in another battle on Vigilus. Even against the creator's pet Primaris Marines, the Eldar get a better deal.
**Space Marines - 1 new plastic Primaris Lieutenant, 5 Intercessors, 5 Reivers, and 3 Inceptors.
**Eldar - 1 new plastic Spiritseer (finally, the first step in updating the ancient Eldar lineup), 10 Guardian Defenders, a Wave Serpent, and 5 Wraithguard.
*Wrath and Rapture - A second starter set that has no space marines, only Chaos Daemons. While being marketed more towards Age of Sigmar than 40k it still comes with models and new rules for 40k as well as the story why the forces of [[Khorne]] and [[Slaanesh]] are fighting in the warp. Is honestly a steal if you are starting a Daemon army as you get a bunch of units and updated models for [[Karanak]], Flesh hounds , Fiends and a new Slannesh HQ.
** Daemons of Khorne - 1 [[Karanak]], 5 Flesh hounds, 3 Bloodcrushers, 10 Bloodletters
** Daemons of Slaanesh - 1 [[Daemonette|Infernal Enrapturess]], 3 Fiends, 5 Seekers, 10 Daemonettes
*Shadowspear- Ultramarines vs. Black Legion. Notably, everything in it is either a new sculpt or a never-before-seen unit, such as the Space Marine Eliminators or the Venomcrawler daemon engine. Also comes with mini-Codexes for Vanguard Space Marines and Daemonkin.
** Ultramarines - 1 Primaris Captain in Phobos armour, 1 Primaris Librarian in Phobos armour, 1 Primaris lieutenant in Phobos Armour, 10 Infiltrators, 3 Eliminators, 3 Suppressors
** Black Legion - 1 Master of Possession, 2 Greater Possessed, 10 Chaos Space Marines, 2 Obliterators, 1 Venomcrawler
*Blood of the Phoenix - Eldar vs Deldar boxset and tied in with the new Psychic awakening GW has going on. Held new models for [[Jain Zar]], Howling banshees, [[Drazhar]] and Incubi. Is a pretty decent box with the huge catch that it FUCKING COST £140 (230 Ameribucks or 390 Kangaroo skins)! It really isn't worth that much money, no matter how good Jain Zars new model is.
** Eldar - 1 Jain-Zar, 5 Howling banshees, 1 Falcon, 1 Vyper
** Dark Eldar - 1 Drazhar, 5 Incubi, 5 Scourges, 5 Hellions, 1 Venom
*Sisters of Battle boxset - The new starter set for Sisters, containing a small force of '''Plastic''' Sisters (Hooray), that are all easy build (Hooroo). This will be a good starter box for sister players, but the main force won't be released till 2020 about 2-3 months later (Boo). The box has a good amount of stuff in it as it has the Codex and data cards as well, but it cost another shit tonne with it costing £125. It was made in such a small number that the only ones available now are from ebay [[Scalpers]]. Fuck.
** Models - 1 Canoness, 10 Battle Sisters, 5 Seraphim, 4 Repentia, 3 Flagellants, 1 Mistress of Repentance, 1 Imagifier, 1 Penitent engine.
*Dark Vengeance - Only for a week in December but the Starter set is back in made to order, meaning that it's been a box set for 3 editions of 40k. Inside it's the same as it was before (minus the Chaos Champion), and it's actually priced well (for GW) at £85, making it the cheapest big starter set.
**[[Dark Angels]] - 1 DA Master, 1 Librarian, 10 Tactical Marines, 5 [[Deathwing]] Terminators, 3 [[Ravenwing]] Bikers
**Chaos Space Marines - 1 Chaos Lord, 6 Chaos Chosen, 20 Cultists, 1 Hellbrute
* Prophecy of the Wolf Space Wolves vs Orks. Orks are a bit more orkier and the Space Wolves are more generic. Coming in at £137 or $170, it's made for fans and isn't really friendly towards newcomers.
**Space Wolves-10 Space Wolf Infiltrators or Incursors ,Ragnar Blackmane now in Primaris form!
**Orks- Ghazghkull Thraka with Makari, 5 Ork Nobz, 3 Ork Meganobz, 1 Grot Oiler, 1 Ammo Runt
