WARHAMMER 40K · ONE-SHOT KIT

Tabletop One-Shot Kit

Warhammer 40,000

“In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.”

A complete first-session kit — Dungeons & Dragons 5e rules, Warhammer 40,000 reskin.

The one rule: the dice are pure D&D 5e. The 40,000 is paint. A “lasgun” rolls exactly like the crossbow it reskins — only the words change. Everything here leans on that.
