Combat Arena: Lair of the Beast is a great way of playing fast and furious games in the world of Warhammer 40,000.

Graceful aliens, sturdy robots, and genetically-enhanced super-soldiers have been tossed into an arena to fight to the death. To ensure maximum carnage, there’s also a massive, frenzied beast to take on! Team up with your rivals to eliminate the threat, but be careful… Only one champion can ultimately win the match.

Descend into the lair of a deadly alien Ambull for glory, revenge, or profit in Combat Arena: Lair of the Beast – an action-packed game for two to four players featuring an eclectic collection of Warhammer miniatures. Pick from one of 10 diverse characters – from Space Marine Sergeant Vennaro to the oddly self-aware ‘robot’ UR-025 – each with their own unique skills and talents, to battle both the Ambull and each other to emerge victorious.

With fast-paced, brutal gameplay, anything can happen. You’ll need to stay on your toes – or get incredibly lucky – to win. Play with just one friend, or get four people together for an epic slugfest. Games can be finished in about a half hour, which means you can get a few rounds in to try out different tricks, or get revenge.

This box includes:

 A rulebook with background material about the fighters and the galaxy in which they live, assembly guides, 8 pages of game rules, and a variety of playing modes and missions to try out
 13 models that can be built without the need for glue
 Everything you need to play – dice, cards, a game board, tokens, and profiles for each fighter
