Let’s take a look at some of the best third-party products to enhance your games of 11th Edition 40k.
The 11th edition of Warhammer 40k has been out for a few weeks now, bringing with it a host of changes. Big or small, these updates have altered the way we play the game, but fortunately, there are a host of products already out to help. Today, we’re taking a look at some great third-party accessories to improve your 40k quality of life.
Battlefield Ready Bundle — Frontline Gaming
Frontline Gaming has been furnishing the tables of Warhammer events for many years now, so it’s no surprise they hit the ground running this summer. The new edition of 40k has introduced new terrain rules in what is probably the biggest change to the game in years. Terrain footprints, plunging fire, and terrain objectives are all radically altering scenarios and tables, but Frontline Gaming has a fantastic all-in-one set to get you going.
This includes a beautiful neoprene gaming mat, all the terrain footprints and immersive, full-color MDF terrain needed for the official mission layouts; this bundle can be customized in a few ways. Drop the footprints entirely, or include your choice of acrylic or full-color MDF footprints. The bundle also includes a set of measuring tools and tokens. All of these products are, of course, available for individual purchase through the Frontline Gaming webstore.
11th Edition Dice Tray / Mission Card Stand — Fat Dwarf
This is one of those little products that seems silly at first glance but ends up being a huge quality of life improvement. It’s possible you’re going to have numerous cards to reference during a game of 40k these days, and having a stand to keep them organized is just immensely helpful. The official card decks are bigger than standard playing card size, so they require specially sized peripherals. Fat Dwarf also offers a version with an integral dice-tray. Cool stuff!
11th Edition Master Token Set — LITKO
LITKO have been a long-time manufacturer of high-quality acrylic tokens, and their new set looks fantastic. These double-sided tokens will let you quickly identify every status effect currently in the game and are small and aesthetically pleasing enough to not break your immersion in the game.
The full set of 42 25mm double-sided tokens includes:
- (10) Grey-Blue Hidden/Action
- (8) Orange-Red 1/2 Strength/Battle Shocked
- (6) Pink-Purple Regular/Home Objective
- (6) Blue-Yellow Advance/Fallback
- (6) Red-Green Stationary/Normal Move
- (6) Red-Green -1/+1 Modifier
40K Armageddon Game Box Foam Tray — Battle Foam
Battle Foam has been a long-time industry leader in miniatures transportation and storage. Their “hard” foam trays feature cut-to-form slots for pretty much any miniature you can imagine, and their new Armageddon trays are fantastic.
This set of two foam trays is custom-made to store every miniature included in the new Armageddon box set, both Space Marines and Ork. Conveniently, these two trays are also designed to fit within the Armageddon cardboard box itself, with a little room to spare. If you’re a new player who went all-in on Armageddon, this is a great way to protect your new armies.
Officially Licensed Accessories — Ultra PRO
They’re not specifically made for 11th edition, but we’d be remiss not to mention Ultra PRO’s line of officially licensed accessories. Especially since they’re currently on sale at a discount of 40% off! Dice trays, deck boxes, dice towers, and more are all available with official branding and 40k art.
What’s your must-have 40k accessory?
