Common questions
What is the best first Space Marines box?
Start with Combat Patrol: Space Marines. Compare sealed floors on the box page, then follow the paint recipe for that kit.
Should I buy a Battleforce instead of a Combat Patrol?
Battleforces can be better value when sealed floors sit near Combat Patrol plus the extras. Always compare all-in prices for the exact year edition.
