Good afternoon Following on from more of my own musings I wanted to ask people what they thought of the current combat patrol system? I've been interacting with the new aos spearhead content which is absolutely fantastic and hopefully where combat patrol will be heading next edition. Since the introduction of combat patrol I've hoped for Crusade integration where your combat patrol with its unique Detachments and upgrades would be the starting force of your Crusade. Chuck in a couple of bespoke options for development of the combat patrol alongside the usual content and I think it would be off to a real winner of a system

As the Title says, I finally got my Hands On my Combat Patrol Box!, Will be using this as a Tool to encourage me to Continue with it at hopefully a bit faster than my Usual Glacial pace . Pics soon of Grey plastic stuck together.... I've been looking at everyone else's models being painted and it has enthused me to kick it into gear. Cheers, M

Codex etc up for pre order this coming Saturday. Very dull box compared with the current one. Huge step backwards.

We've recently been hit with the news that Hachette are launching a new magazine collection, Warhammer 40,000: Combat Patrol. As someone that bought the Imperium Magazine collection (in it's entirety), let me tell you this - you only save money if you're going to paint and play every single model. If not, you'll breakeven at best and, most likely, lose money. Let's say you only wanted one or maybe two combat patrols from the set. You still have to sell off all the rest. Here's how it'll go: Straight away, the models aren't worth as much as an officially boxed and sealed combat patrol. It doesn't matter that they're sealed in magazines - it just ain't the same. That doesn't matter anyway, right? Because people usually don't want to buy complete sets - they just want certain units from a set. Yeah that's true, but even then you have, what, 100+ sprues you need to package up and ship out. It all takes time. You can always find someone to buy, but everyone wants a deal. If you were going to list it all on eBay, people don't want to pay the same price as they could pay on a site like Wayland Games - they want to pay less. Why? Because they can probably get it online with free shipping. You could offer free shipping yourself but that eats into the amount of money you get back in the end. Then there's the competition. Think about how many people could be doing the exact same thing, who have a load of other sprues sat round they want to get rid of. Maybe they'll throw in some models from their pile of shame, too. Suddenly there's a lot of models on the market and, people being people, they'll start dropping their prices. So even though you know a model or a unit is worth £x, it'll end up selling for £y (minus the fees). You can sell in Facebook groups but you end up with some initial interest that drops off whenever you start talking prices - or they try to shave some extra cash off. This isn't just speculation - I went through all of this myself. My honest opinion is that all the extra time and effort involved simply isn't worth it. Just buy the models you want in your army, paint them up and spend more time playing the game.

So I’m new to the B&C blog feature, but thought I would use it to post the progress of my new Ultramarines army. I originally intended it to be a a Third Company army, but plans have changed, and I am now planning on building it as a 1st Company Strike Force.

According to Auspex Tactics, the contents of the new combat patrol are: 1x Enforcer Commander 10x Breachers 10x Pathfinders 1x Devilfish Information comes from this video: Auspex doesn't say what the source of the leak is, rather that a person showed him where it was.

Spied in the new codex elsewhere. Grav captain 10 intercessors 5 hellblasters 3 bladeguard vets. Far more palatable to play against than the current incarnation and much better for a core force IMO. I've no interest in Dark Angels but for collecting and playing against, much improved.
