Each kit is packaged in a brightly-colored box and includes two or more plastic model kits from Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 line, plus all of the paint, glue, and decals needed to assemble and paint them.  Each kit also comes with a paintbrush and an assembly guide.  The largest kits in the series will also include a display mat to showcase the models once they are completed.  The kits are designed to be easy to assemble and paint, and are suitable for ages 8 and up.

The first series of six kits includes three Space Marine kits and three Ork kits:

Space Marine Heavy Assault comes with 5 Terminator marines, 1 Dreadnought, scenery pieces, display mat, and 6 paint colors.  MSRP is $39.99.

Space Marine Speeder Strike features 1 Land Speeder vehicle, scenery pieces, and 4 paint colors.  MSRP is $24.99.

Space Marine Bike Attack includes 1 space marine on bike, 1 Terminator hero, and 3 paint colors. $14.99.

Space Ork Raiders has 1 Deffkopta on a flying stand, 1 Ork Warboss, 7 Orks, a set of barricades, display mat, and 6 paint colors.  MSRP is $39.99.

Space Ork Trukkboys includes 1 Wartrukk with 4 Ork Boyz and 4 paint colors.  MSRP is $24.99.

Space Ork Blastabike comes with 1 ork on a half-track Warbike, 1 Ork Nob, and 3 paint colors.  MSRP is $14.99.

The Build + Paint line will be offered to retailers through trade distribution channels instead of GW’s in-house sales team.  The new kits fit the theme and style of the introductory Battle for Vedros boxed game, released into the trade earlier this year (see “Games Workshop Offers ‘Battle for Vedros’”).

The venerable Warhammer 40,000 has long been a mainstay for Games Workshop, and continues to enjoy popularity in the hobby, ranking #2 on ICv2’s list of top miniatures lines last spring (see “Top 5 Non-Collectible Miniatures Games-Spring 2016”).
