There is no time for peace. No forgiveness. No respite. There is nothing but war.

The galaxy is writhing in the iron grip of an all-consuming conflict. The tyrannical Empire of Humanity stands on the brink of destruction, under attack from all sides by heretical warlords, psionic sorcerers, and insatiable xenos empires.

This era is more terrible than any before and there is no peace between the stars...

These models include:

25x Space Marines:  

Genetically engineered super-soldiers clad in impenetrable armor and equipped with the Empire's finest equipment, Space Marines are the Emperor's Angels of Death.

- 1x Ballistus Dreadnought: Piloted by a fallen hero of the Order, this massive war machine is like a walking gun emplacement, supporting its brothers with heavy firepower.
- 5x Terminators: These elite warriors are protected by tactical dreadnought armor and can be transported into battle via teleportation technology to accompany their captain into the heart of the battle.
- 5x Protector Guardsmen: These master snipers strike down their enemies with a variety of bolt weapons, displaying all the skill one would expect from such distinguished warriors.
- 10 Infernus Marines: These melee specialists wipe out hordes of enemies with fiery firestorms unleashed from their deadly pyroblasters.

47x Tyranids:  

Driven by the commands of the all-powerful hive mind, the Tyranid swarms descend upon world after world - a flood of biological instruments of murder intent on devouring every scrap of living matter.
- 1x Winged Alpha Warrior: This alpha warbeast swoops down on leathery wings to shred its enemies with devilishly sharp claws.
- 1x Neurotyrant and 2x Neuroloids: The Neurotyrant is a floating monster that emits the fearsome psionic shadow in the warp and drives its prey insane.
- 1x Shrieker Killer: Named for the distinctive howl of its bioplasmic missiles, the Shrieker Killer is a monstrosity that would be created to be the spearhead of Tyranid attacks.
- 1x Pychophage: This insatiable creature stomps into battle with frightening speed and primarily targets enemies with psionic powers.
- 3x Von Ryan Jack-in-the-box: These nimble, scurrying hunters leap from cover to launch deadly ambushes, tearing apart unwary prey in an instant.
- 5x Spiny Gantlets: Spiny Ganders are little more than living weapons, and as they rush into battle they fire volleys of jagged projectiles that limit the movement speed of anyone who survives the barrage.
- 11x Neurogants: These creatures come into battle as a surging mass, created to protect and empower the synapse creatures of the invading swarm.
- 20x Termagants: These raiders, who operate in swarms, attack their prey with a hail of bullets and attempt to outmaneuver the enemy and thin out their ranks.
- 2x absorber swarms: These horrors covered in chitin are simple eating machines and attack the wounded and dead alike, but in large enough numbers they can also force well-trained warriors to the ground.

All miniatures come with their matching bases. These miniatures are unpainted and require assembly - we recommend using Citadel Color paints.
