About the game
Can you survive in a sprawling undercity of the far future, infested by hideous mutants and stalked by corrupted soldiers? In Warhammer 40,000: Darktide – The Miniatures Game, you'll take control of elite operatives on a dangerous mission to investigate a supernatural disease. Equip your team, work together, and put a stop to the heresy. But beware the shadows, and the encroaching Darktide. In this action-packed co-op board game, you and your mates must fight through hordes of enemies to complete a series of vital missions. The lives of thousands are in your hands, and it won't be easy. You'll need to keep your wits about you, and with a little luck perhaps you can achieve the impossible. This box is packed with everything you need to play, including board tiles, tokens, dice, and loads of miniatures. You'll find the four classes of heroes, plus a set of twisted Poxwalkers, and Chaos-tainted Traitor Guardsmen. Play single missions to learn the rules, then string your games together into a tense campaign as your operatives acquire new skills and equipment. —description from the publisher
