The colossal Warhammer 40K Leviathan boxed set has launched the ever-popular war game's newest edition in earnest, offering plenty of new miniatures, a hefty all-in-one rules and lore book, and new mission cards for 10th Edition. All 72 of its steadfast Space Marine and terrifying Tyranid models are packed with detail, from the puny Neurogaunts to the hulking Ballistus Dreadnought. It's an arrangement of models that you almost certainly won't see in any other set, and certainly not with the same $250 / £150 price tag.
It's an impressive set at first glance, but after spending a little over two weeks building the incredible models and poring over the fantastical lore and "simplified, not simple" Warhammer 40,000 10th Edition Core Rules, there are some irritating flaws that hold it back as a limited-run launch set for a new edition. Importantly, these flaws have left me wondering who Warhammer 40K Leviathan was really meant for.
