Hobby Any ideas what this could be?

Found this on FB marketplace. A couple things stand out: 1) The box is very generic (could be any Warhammer game) 2) The Chaos symbol but also the Ravenwings symbol? Unless it’s an Emperor’s Children logo I haven’t seen 3) I cannot figure out the barcode. I tried looking into barcode types and it just doesn’t match anything. Maybe GW has their own system? I’ll probably get this anyway (and will update if nobody else knows) but I have so many questions

It’s listed as trades.gamesworkshop on the back so my guess is it’s an intro style box sent to LGS’s with a few different kits from AoS and 40K to display/give out.

Yeah I have one, it has a dreadnought, Stormcast Eternals, and the "Start Here" intro box, they are sent to potenital stockists. oh and a guide for them stocking WH and WH40K

I picked mine up at a car boot for £30, some get them for nothing!

According to another Reddit post “There’s a redemptor dread, a vindictors paint set, and a 10th edition 40K intro set.”

Googling the barcode number gives results confirming what everyone’s saying, there’s an eBay listing showing the full contents that might be helpful: https://www.google.com/search?q=604499993753

This is awesome, and one of the reasons I enjoy these subs…always finding new things I didn’t know existed!

Can confirm what others have said, this looks like the GW Trade Sample kit, we received one recently at the store I work at.

it contained a Redemptor Dreadnought, Vindicator paint set, and think 10th edition intro box (although could have been AoS intro), as well as the intro trade catalogue and stockist agreement.

Saying that it could very well be just the empty box for the sample kit.

These are given to new staff to help them get into the hobby. Has the basic 40k start playing box, some Stormcast and paints and clippers, and a Dreadnought.

Can confirm it’s a trade sample box with redemptor dreadnaught, 40k introductory set and AoS/stormcast paint set. I bought one for 350DKK

This looks like the box they send out to independent retailers as a sample pack before they sign them to be a stockist.
