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

Product Information

The Deathwatch and Grey Knights Combat Patrol boxes are the clear loser on pricing and value. That’s because if you don’t need the characters, you basically get no real value. The limited options here have several implications for the game. First, and perhaps most obviously, any time you run into a particular faction in this mode, the opposing force is going to be nearly identical from a gameplay perspective. This is helpful for knowing what to expect when you go into the game, but does mean that the variety of lists you’ll run into is drastically restricted. Perhaps more importantly, though, by limiting what can be brought into a game, the designers have ensured there are fewer outliers that you’ll have to worry about, meaning that you’re less likely to run into something completely game-breaking. Combat Patrol Datasheets

So is this Combat Patrol worth it? If you missed out on the Leviathan box and want those Space Marines I think it’s probably worth it. That said…I don’t know how competitive this Combat Patrol really is. The Space Marines DID lose the campaign and these models were featured in it. Kind of a sad state of things when your Terminators and freakin’ Flamer marines couldn’t kill a bunch of lightly armored Tyranids…(and I say that as a Tyranid player).This week’s Citadel Colour Masterclass is all about the basics of freehanding. If you’ve ever wanted to dip your toe** into this advanced technique, this is the show you need to watch. Fortunately, the Norn-Queens have been hard at work splicing together a new Combat Patrol box, which is ideal whether you’re brand new to the Tyranids or have been on board since Hive Fleet Behemoth was first sighted. This is something exciting, and it might be able to get a lot of new players into the game or just let you play a new faction if all you have is a single Combat Patrol. Latest Updates & New Rules Articles For Warhammer 40k 10th Edition Every faction’s army rules will remain largely the same – Tyranids retain Shadow in the Warp and Synapse , for example – but each Combat Patrol features Enhancements unique to this game mode to let you tweak your WARLORD and try out new strategies.

Brave, honest and true, they only very occasionally indulge in macabre vampiric rituals with goblets of suspiciously viscous red ‘wine’– and it really is only once in a blue moon that one of them slips into an insane, suicidal killing frenzy fuelled by the overwhelming psychic grief imprinted in his DNA.The result? Tense, involved, but straightforward games that can be played in less than an hour.* There’s still plenty of nuance for Warhammer 40,000 experts to enjoy – swapping out Enhancements and Secondary Objectives to mix up their playstyle, and mastering each faction’s Combat Patrol in turn, without having to build up a full Incursion or Strike Force-sized army.

It looks like each character will only get two options for enhancements, but this should make building your list as simple as possible. New MissionsAt the end of the day, Combat Patrol isn’t going to replace Incursion or Strike Force games for me. If given the option and provided with adequate time, I’d honestly probably prefer to play the larger game using all of my favorite units rather than being limited to a fixed selection of units for every game. But I don’t always have the time to play a full 2000-point game of 40k, and it’s not unusual for me to find myself wishing for a way to squeeze in a game when I don’t necessarily want to spend the next 2-3 hours standing around the table. Play with nothing more than a Combat Patrol with these new Warhammer 40k 10th Edition rules for each faction box set along with missions. Previously only available in the Burning of Prospero boxed set, Geigor Fell-Hand is available separately, for the first time ever, in plastic. He’s champing at the bit to be let loose on the enemies of the Imperium, and will lead your Space Wolves to savage glory on the battlefields of the 31st Millennium. Legiones Astartes: Praetor and Chaplain Consul It’s clear that Combat Patrol was deliberately written with intent to drastically streamline the process of preparing for and playing a game. By distilling down the process of building your list, choosing your mission, and playing the game to about as few rules as are possible to have while still remaining recognizable as 10th-edition 40k, they’ve managed to deliver an experience that is not only significantly more approachable for new players from a rules perspective, but also just a lot faster to set up and play once you get to the table. It’s also looking distinctly chaotic on Warhammer+ this week, with Battle Report showing a clash between the Sons of Horus and the Imperial Fists to demonstrate the new rules for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. There’s also a Citadel Colour Masterclass on smoke effects, while the lore from Psychic Awakening books 4 and 5 come to the Warhammer Vault.

Personally, I would have rather GW swapped out the Infernus Marines for the Sternguard and just made this a “First Company” box or something. Now that would have been an interesting Combat Patrol!Deliver sermons on the front lines safely with the latest in personal priesthood protection – the Chaplain in Terminator Armour. This walking behemoth of righteous fury is all-but immovable on the battlefield, and that’s before he straps on his optional relic shield. He can even choose between two variants of crozius arcanum.
