Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - BOARDING PATROL: Space Marines

Product Information

Everyone has a different approach, but I tailor my thematic lists with an eye toward how I think my force would operate.

We’ve already discussed what a Boarding Patrol detachment looks like, but if you want to get involved with a fresh force, check out these two new Boarding Patrol boxes. If you’ve been living away from the bullhorn, Boarding Actions are the small-format 40K ruleset from Arks of Omen focusing on infantry and close-quarters combat. I think he’s a perfect Captain, Lieutenant or other veteran character and it’s time to do him justice. This Boarding Patrol contains 17 models in total – one gunslinging Kelermorph inspires a team of 10 Acolyte Hybrids, who can also be built as Hybrid Metamorphs, while a hulking Abominant is joined by his little Mindwyrm Familiar friend, and five nearly-as-hulking Aberrants.But what I’m also saying is, I can’t just make more Phobos-armoured legs and torsos appear out of nowhere. For these types of items we have to use a courier service and in this case the cost will vary depending on size and weight etc.

He's joined at close quarters by 10 Assault Intercessors, each armed with a chainsword and heavy bolt pistol, who can be split into squads of five for navigating tight passageways.Next up on the painting table, however, are more additions for Third Company as I come very, very close to finishing all of its squads. Recently, GW released the Boarding Patrol box set for Space Marines, and I immediately saw it had some useful additions for my growing Dark Angels which would enable me to fill out a couple more squads for the Third Company. Accompanying the Captain are 10 Assault Intercessors, each wielding a chainsword and heavy bolt pistol.

The battlesuits have numerous short-ranged weapon options, which offer great utility against many different enemy types in tight spaces. Abaddon spearheads elements of his current campaign in person, and so the Chaos Space Marine Boarding Patrol includes the Despoiler himself , 10 Chaos Space Marine Legionaries , and 20 Cultists for you to cherry-pick your own patrol from. If you need points shave off 10 cultists and add wargear or upgrade the Sorcerer to Terminator Armour. Speaking of which, the Agastus box set comes out this week and I will be grabbing one for the Heavy Intercessors inside as well as the Brutalis Dreadnought.I don’t know if this would be a super effective army to be clear — but you’ve got some hammer units with the Terminators, Possessed, the Daemon Prince, and Abaddon. I was always a little saddened that personalised, elite ranged troops never made it over the Rubicon Primaris. As well as The Despoiler, you also have ten Chaos Space Marine Legionaries who can be armed with a variety of weapons and then twenty Cultists who will simply be cannon fodder thrown in the way of oncoming fire. Having Battlescribe open is a great way to flesh out your upcoming list in accordance with what you have, what you want, and what you’re going for. The Deathwatch Veterans have been my favorite source of Astartes special weapons and gimmicks for years.
