TrawlingCleaner Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 From social media posts that were deleted quickly with dead linsk From the URL: "enter-the-new-season-of-warhammer-40000-with-two-boarding-patrols-and-a-battleforce/" I'd guess its a Space marine and CSM Boarding Patrols box and an Arks of Omen themed CSM Battleforce around Abaddon. I was quite surprised to not see these on release HolyPestilience, phandaal, WrathOfTheLion and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Marshal Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Article's up. Not sold on the Abbaddon + Cultist box, but the 'Balefleet' one looks quite nice depending on prince.

StraightSilver Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I actually really like the Abaddon one, I don't have any of those minis and it's tempting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMawr Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Wat... csm isnt a double 5man sprue right ? I thought it was 10 individuele Nope, its 10 should have read the article first.

Nagashsnee Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Wonder what the price and long term availability on these will be. If its a good discount i might go for a marine one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrindur Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I wouldn't be surprised if we get Boarding Patrols for all/most of factions during the Arks of Omens campaign and one Battleforce connected to the lead faction of each book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jukkiz Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 dunno why they added heldrake in it. It´s not that good of a model on its own either. Static and pain to paint Prot and Maschinenpriester 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfTheLion Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I'll probably grab one of the Balefleet battleforce for sure, can always use another Daemon prince and I don't have a Heldrake yet. All the other things, I can always use more of as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phandaal Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) CSM one is too many points for a boarding action game, yeah? Edit - just read the blurb at the end. Not that more models is a bad thing. Guess they just really wanted to call it a Boarding Patrol as a promotional tie-in.

Matrindur Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Pretty big price difference between the two Boarding Patrols so will be interesting how they price them Dark Shepherd 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylerboodie Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Not a fan of two sets of 5x Possessed, given lack of alternate poses etc, and Heldrake does seem weird fit lore-wise, but otherwise a nice box. Only showing 5x CSMs not 10 on Boarding Patrol photo is strange too, not showing all the minis included! But including a unique character like Abaddon ruins that box IMHO. Space Marines one the most generic = useful then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arikel Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Not liking this move to special characters in boxed sets much. Still might be interested in the boarding patrol set based on pricing but I would have much preferred a generic HQ to abbadon myself Edited January 9, 2023 by Arikel Shinespider, crimsondave, Karhedron and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halandaar Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 As someone who bought a Daemon Prince, Possessed and some Terminators last month - AARGH. That would have been quite the deal.

sarabando Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 i assume the bale force one isnt supposed to be a boarding action force because it has a flyer in it? but GWs rules writers have never been too bright :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balefleets are the cohorts raised by Abaddon and Vashtorr, tasked with collecting the artefacts needed to complete their meticulous plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burni Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Swap Abaddon for the daemon prince and that CSM box would be a great repeat buy. Edit: Infact if the discount makes Abaddon ‘free’ it could still be good. And there’d be a lot of him cheap on eBay for conversions.

gideon stargreave Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 the abaddon one would be a great start to a tyrant's legion with a bit of conversion on abby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleon Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I like the marine one, I've been after the assault intercessor kit to build a bunch of alternate Sgts for a while and the new points costs makes that a nice tie in with some discounts (and I can always use more Heavy Intercessors) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Nord in Gravis Armour Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 If only those Cultists had some actual customizability - all of the special weapons are locked in the "Cultist Warband" set. The only thing multiple versions of the "Chaos Cultists" kit gets you is the option to build two of the models as both Champion and chaff.

Vesalius Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Liking the chaos ones ok. Wish the possessed and cultists had a bit more customization, but I guess that’s not a huge deal. cultists i can raid the bits box or paint different skin tones on duplicates. Possessed… hmm that’ll be a challenge. i do want a heldrake and that Prince though. Really hoping we will see some good second hand prices on Abby. im guessing $150 for the patrol and $210 for the big box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaherty Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 When they've done these spray releases for AoS (e.g. the Broken Realms campaign in support of AoS 3.0) and Warcry, there have been different price points depending on the contents of the kit. The spread tended to be $15-20. I'm guessing that's what we'll see here, otherwise that marine bundle is going to sit for a while.

Can't be $150 for the Space Marine one, as it's $60 for assault intercessors, $65 for heavy intercessors and $38 for the character. Would be a savings of what, $13 or so? The big box is probably $210 like the others have been so far, that looks to be pretty consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
