"A short while ago I posted about having acquired a copy of the GW Leviathan boxed set containing some 72 models – 25 Space Marines (including a rather large Dreadnought) and 47 Tyranids. I have since added to that by acquiring the ‘Ultimate Starter Set' which includes a further 12 Marines and 32 Tyranids. I then took to eBay to obtain a further five man squad of Marines to round out the set up. The Ultimate Starter Set includes some rather nice terrain pieces along with a copy of the core rules, a bag of D6, a sheet of transfers for the Marines, a 40K Handbook and a couple of plastic measuring sticks aka rulers to the uninitiated!

I don't recommend starting this way. Leviathan and the Ultimate Starter have too much overlap especially doubles on the characters. The Leviathan rulebook also contains the Crusade book so you wouldn't need both. Personally I would get Leviathan and Battlezone Fronteris OR the Ultimate Starter and the Crusade book (if campaigns are your thing) To Expand the marines beyond the boxes I would get a chapter combat patrol (like Combat Patrol Blood Angels) Tyranids are tougher: the Onslaught Swarm box is great if you find one. Otherwise it's individual units |
