warhammer 40k 8th edition rulebook leaked pdf

Finally, to make the games a little more cinematic, they included a dual sided paper playmat (~22x22”) that depicts a ruined city-scape.

Although they are rather large (~5.5x8”), they are still a nice inclusion, as they contain all of the units rules, including weapon options and special abilities. A set of four data cards, one for each of the included units in the game (Plague Marines, Poxwalkers, Intercessors, and Reivers). This will surely prove helpful to any player as an extremely portable copy of the core rules, easily fitting in any model case. Nicer still is a small printed booklet that includes the entire core rules for the game, expanded slightly from the pdf version available for download on GW’s website. Importantly, it also includes a series of 4 missions that ease you into playing Warhammer 40k, introducing you to all the basic concepts, including movement, shooting, and close combat. A “Read this first” book is included that gives some introductory information about the hobby, including assembly and painting information, as well as some background material about the universe and Space Marines and the Death Guard. Impressively, beneath all of these contents, there is a shrink-wrapped bundle of printed material, ensuring they are not too bent or damaged in transit.

There is also a nice translucent plastic 6” ruler, along with a bag of 6 small six-sided dice, enough to play your first small games of Warhammer 40k. There are four small plastic sprues, two green and two blue, designating the different forces, along with a small bag of slotted bases for them. Opening it up, there is a sturdy cardboard tray that slides out (and serves as a piece of terrain when turned upside down), containing all the components of the box. Upon first getting the First Strike box, you will notice that it is about the size of one of GW’s standard small boxes (like a Space Marine Tactical Squad), but it is far heavier.
