Dark Imperium box set

Got a surprise loot this Christmas. Was not expecting it but a Dark Imperium box set landed under my tree.

I have seen loads of reviews and most agree this is quite the deal if you want to get into 40k, specially if you collect Primaris and Death Guard (which I do), but still I was not prepared for the full content of this Box.

Full hard cover Rulebook, Primaris booklet, Death Guard booklet, Plastic ruler, 12 dice, 53 Miniatures and Transfer sheet.

The box just feels polished to a collector degree, it's not the usual starter cheap box, its packed with books full of illustrations and very detailed miniatures.

The Design and print finish is to a high degree and if you are like me that likes attention to detail this will not disapoint. Once you open the box there is a 2nd black box which holds all the miniature sprues. There are so many sprues I don't even know where to start.

There are also 2x 24 pages booklets for both factions and again those have thick full colour pages with rules and artwork. The Rulebook is also there and it's the full thing, not a booklet or short version of the 40.000 rulebook. Rules, background and all kinds of nice things to grab you attention during a winter night on the sofa with Whisky.

The sprues themselves are mono pose and snap fit and they are split evenly between both armies.

1 Giant sprue, 2x big sprues and 1 medium sprue per each faction totalling 8 sprues! It is lots of plastic and good one too. The Snap fit has changed so much over the years and today I can say that the variety  of poses is so rich and the design so sharp that if you build these alongside with the multipart kits you will not be able to distinguish between them… its that good. Also mono pose on things like pox walkers is not a problem if you have like 10 different poses to choose from.

I will go over sprues and models in more detail as I build them in the future, for now check the plastic crack.

This set is a great value if you want to start these 2 armies and its probably the best starter set for any game that I have seen so far. Its affordable but the content is top quality materials, does not feel cheap or rushed in any way and it's a pleasure just to open the box and immediately feel immersed into this compelling universe. 

This will keep me busy for years to come.
