The starter set has an impressive box, with an epic battle going on between the Space Marines and the Orks. The back of the box features the two well-painted armies, along with the contents of the kit. Besides it not being the most recent starter set, I would say that the box is able, if not sturdy, enough to hold this kit, although there was some warping in the cardboard even though the pack was factory sealed.
The box contained plenty of awesome-looking miniatures, with both sides having sizable forces. The Space Marine army included: 1 Captain, 9 Tactical Marines and 1 Tactical Sergeant, 4 Terminators and 1 Terminator Sergeant and 1 Dreadnought.
The Ork army included: 1 Warboss, 5 Nobz, 20 Ork Boyz and 3 Deffkoptas.
There were several accessories, perfect for new players. Templates and bases were ideal and there were added measuring sticks.
The "Read This First" guide and the old 5th Edition rules came in the kit. A lot of transfers were included for unit customizing the miniatures.
All things considered, this starter set is a great way to get into the Warhammer 40K universe, even though it's not most recent starter set. I think that it could easily be used to expand a collection, or simply supply some great, easy-to-build miniatures.
Also, the extra that I got this week, was a set of 100 tiny Rare-Earth Magnets from China! I got these for $3, with free shipping! Can't wait to find a use for these! (Being that the starter set is snap-together, magnetizing would take cutting, which I don't feel ready for, at this time.)
