Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Combat Patrol: Grey Knights

Product Information

Make sure your Chaplain is in a position to use the Litanies you want to use as they are done at in your Command Phase, so it’s not possible to do on a unit arriving from Reinforcements (outside of Aura-style Litanies and moving into range, or using the Empyric Declamation Stratagem), nor can you move into the range to select them after the fact. All Litanies barring the Refrain of Convergence only affect CORE and CHARACTER units, last until the start of your next Command Phase, and everyone knows Litany of Expulsion. All Litanies are called in your Command Phase, and recited successfully on a 3+. Each Litany can only be attempted once per Battle Round, and all last until the start of your next Command Phase. I went about this in the same way that I went about the previous post. I listed every unit in the various Combat Patrols and looked to see how many points each would cost on the battlefield. Age-old adversaries of the Grey Knights, the sorcerous heretics of the Thousand Sons are joined by mutant allies in their quest for arcane knowledge in a combat patrol box of their own. But let’s look at we’ve got. It’s a very shooty list with melee capabilities – so these guys will hold their own at range and in close quarters. Terminators, being Terminators, are tough with 5+ invulnerable saves and choice of differing melee weapons and guns – which the Strike Squad and the other variants also get to dabble with. Gem of Inoktu- The bearer gets +2 to Cast Dominus Powers for a Psychic Phase. Great at 15pts to ensure a crucial power goes off, giving you good reliability. Best of course on a Librarian who can use 2 powers innately, thus getting more mileage from this.

In addition to Death From The Warp above, Grey Knights have five more stratagems, providing a good mix of mobility, defence and killing power. On the offence, when you really need to land a true killing blow you’ve got access to Radiant Strike, which for 2CP in the Fight Phase gives all Psychic Weapons the unit is wielding (which, spoilers, will be pretty much all of them) Devastating Wounds. Not cheap, but very, very nasty, particularly if you’ve got a powerful Leader rolling with the unit. You’ve seen the Armouring of a Space Marine ritual where an iconic piece of Warhammer lore was portrayed as it’s never been seen before. Now, you can learn more about the armour of Warhammer’s most recognisable warriors in this week’s new episode of Loremasters . It breaks down the development of Space Marine Power Armour* from the earliest ‘Thunder Armour’ through the Mark III and Mark IV suits, right up to the Mark X worn by Primaris Space Marines.

Learn more Brotherhood Command- You can only take one GRAND MASTER and one BROTHER-CAPTAIN in a Detachment, and they have to be of different Brotherhoods if you run multiple. Frankly more than 1 in an army is already ludicrous, but here we are. Each non- CHARACTER has one of these powers assigned to them, except for PALADINS who can choose 2 of them. Only LIBRARIANS can choose Powers from this Discipline, although most of these only affect themselves, so won’t be too useful for them.Unfortunately, The value of the Necrons combat patrol is really just based on less than half the contents of the Indomitus Starter Set, with a Doomstalker added in. The daemon-hunting lords of Titan are on the march with the Grey Knights Combat Patrol. They arrive with a Librarian in Terminator Armour, five Grey Knights Terminators, five rank-and-file Grey Knights (which can be built as a Strike Squad, Interceptor Squad, Purifier Squad, or Purgation Squad), and a mighty Nemesis Dreadknight.

Hammerhand* (WC 5) (B)- The “mainstay” power, available for STRIKE SQUADS , TERMINATORS and DREADKNIGHTS , giving them reroll Wounds in melee. A powerful boost for those about to make it to combat, and usually better than a lone Smite or Brotherhood power in those instances (with some exceptions). Always useful regardless of target. Getting started with Warhammer 40,000 can be a daunting task when you first take a look at the hobby. There are so many miniatures, rules, and dyes to assemble, study, and use. It can frankly feel overwhelming. For a while now, Games Workshop, the publisher of the game, has worked on Combat Patrols, which usually consist of enough miniatures and models to create a solid 400-500-point army.The 40K Combat Patrol Adeptus Custodes is a great way to get started with this army and get a lot of excellent miniatures at a bargain. The box includes 1 Shield Captain, 1 Vexilius Praetor, 3 Custodian Guard, 3 Vertus Praetors, 10 Sisters of Silence Prosecutors, and 2 Burning of Prospero transfer sheets. The set is quite versatile, and you can combine and build the miniatures in multiple ways to get maximum value. The mighty Infernal Master wields psychic powers and daemonic pacts, guarded by a solid firebase of five relentless Scarab Occult Terminators, all while a whopping 20 bestial Tzaangors swarm across the battlefield claiming objectives. In total, you get roughly 25 Power Level’s worth of Tzeentchian devotees in this box. Castellan Crowe On the flip side, let’s look at the bottom of the list: the Adeptus Mechanicus Combat Patrol. It’s pretty pitiful.
