Question 1

Will the Emporer of Mankind ever return and restore order to humanity and the imperium of man?

Accepted Answer

Any order restored will be only temporary, Chaos is the only eternity. With the thirty seven keys of Tzeentch, we will open the way for our brothers. With the thousand whispers of Slaanesh, we will call to them. With the twelve plagues of Nurgle, we will fell their enemies. And with the mighty axe of Khorne, we will cut open the world for them. That is the future, and the false emperor will never have any power to change it.

Question 2

I'm new to miniatures what are the minimum tools and paint sets needed?  I see lots of tools like the cutter, moldline remover, files etc.

Accepted Answer

Hi, great question. Well for starters, the two most important tools will be a hobby knife and a pair of cutters, and of course a decent plastic glue, I use Revel and Humbrol brand for glue. I usually buy the ones with the thin metal tubes for more controlled distribution of the glue, plus you don’t need much glue when gluing even big parts together. For hobby knives, avoid buying Games Workshop brand, wh8le they are not bad quality, they are over priced. As are their paints. To begin with, I suggest buying just a basic, all metal handle hobby knife, until you get comfortable using one, then you can look at fancy shmancy one, but to be honest, after more than 30 years of being a hobbyist, I still just use a metal handled hobby knife, I would rather spend the money on quality blades than handles. Regarding cutters, I’m sorry I do t remember the brand I bought as it was many many years ago, but you want to look at short, pointed cutters for cutting plastic from sprites and other plastic cutting needs. If you have to cut metal, either miniatures or brass etched parts or rod and tubing, look for specifically metal cutters, usually much more hardy cutting tips. With a different hinge point that allows for a better cutting force, while metal cutters are certainly capable of cutting plastic, due to their blunt cutting nose, you can’t get precision cuts l8ke with a plastic cutter. Don’t waste your money on mold line removers... complete scam, you can use the back edge of your hobby knife and it will do the exact sameness thing, and probably better, not to mention doesn’t cost any more that the blade you are already using.  I’m happy for you to contact me if yo7 have any further questions, and I can explain other tools and tips as well, like brushes and painting. You can get a hold of me at recon 13 at hot mail dot com if you like.

What armies does this come with?

Primaris Space MarinesMighty warriors and fearless protectors, equipped with the greatest weapons and armour the Imperium can provide, the Space Marines are heroes one and all. The product of ten thousand years’ labour by Archmagos Dominus Belisarius Cawl, the Primaris Space Marines were forged from fragments of the Emperor’s original experiments – they are immensely powerful and capable warriors, even more intimidating in stature than any of their previous brethren, created on the order of none other than Roboute Guilliman himself.In this box, you’ll find 22 Primaris Space Marines clad in Mark X power armour, who can be painted as any Chapter you please:- 1 Primaris Space Marine Captain, resplendent in cloak and iron halo, holding aloft a master-crafted power sword in one hand and wielding a boltstorm gauntlet on the other;- 2 Primaris Space Marine Lieutenants, one armed with a power sword and bolt pistol, featuring a standard helmeted head, the other an auto bolt rifle and bolt pistol, featuring a bare head;- 1 Primaris Space Marine Ancient carrying an Adeptus Astartes banner, wielding a bolt rifle and bolt pistol;- 2 5-man Primaris Space Marine Intercessor Squads – the heart of a Primaris Space Marines army – armed with bolt rifles and bolt pistols;- 1 3-man Primaris Space Marine Inceptor Squad – shock troops who slam into the fight with jump packs screaming – armed with assault bolters;- 1 5-man Primaris Space Marine Hellblaster Squad – the finest marksmen, able to lay low entire armies on their own – armed with plasma incinerators and bolt pistols.Death GuardThe Death Guard trudge inexorably into battle amidst the drone of endless swarms of flies.

Question 4

Is the hardbook rulebook included in this boxed set identical to the new 8th edition rulebook that is available by itself? Or are there differences?

Accepted Answer

I don't have the one that's available by itself, but I have to assume that there the same.  It's 280 pages, has the rules, and the usual fluff.
