Halandaar Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 If the CSM one is the same price then it's a very good discount against the RRP of the models (over 50% off), but i really do not need yet more Legionaries and duplicate monopose Cultists. Hopefully we might see a few discount Abaddons on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMawr Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Valrak had some more rumors in his video regarding a Admech, Grey Knights, Drukhari boarding patrol (as well as Snikrot and Farsight each coming in one.) Personally I think apart from farsight these are just the more imminent ones and there are likely more. Few interesting things, the Drukhari one apparently is wych cult heavy.. wich will be interesting to see as wych cults, besides 2 HQ options have a grand total of 1 unit thats applicable. its a cheap one too, both in point cost and monetary value. I Imagine lelith hesperax and 3x10 wyches. The savings will be incredibly low if its the same price as the marine one, and that for a unit that has been around for a while (and relatively cheap.) here's hoping this might mean it comes with new beasts ( as special exclusion has been made in the rules, despite them not even being available from GW.) though this borders on wishful thinking. the Snikrot one could also be more imminent than we think... each arks of omen book also covers special rules for factions featured therein.. and as has been said twice on warhammer community the Ork rules are in AoO Angron, this makes it much less likely that its Farsight vs Snikrot/Orks, because if orks were one of the main players there, and no storyline role in Angron at all, it would have made more sense to have their bespoke boarding actions rules featured in that book. Regardless of were they appear Id guess the Snikrot one comes with kommandos, Flashgitz and a Gretchin unit ( the latter two I speculate because both have gotten special exception rules.)

Wyches could also have the venom so basically the old drukhari SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wych cult one is especially interesting, as you mention, Wych Cults have especially few units available! The Boarding Patrol could be a Succubus/Lelith, 20 Wyches and 5 Incubi, although they're probably not kits they're struggling to sell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halandaar Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Is it really so much to ask for a Drukhari box to be Coven themed just once, ever? Fudge sake GW Wracks have never been bundled and have been direct-only most of the time they've been out. A Haemonculus, 10 Wracks and a Pain Engine in a box and I'll take two, although I appreciate that even this is pie in the sky as I don't think you can take Pain Engines in boarding actions anyway.

Cleon Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 So the grey knight one is just the Patrol box without the dreadknight and with the character swapped out I'd assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was genuinely surprised the Kill Team wasn't Coven themed (at least if it hadn't been Mandrakes). Kabalites would have been at the bottom of my guesses. Judging by them not even getting a generic Haemonculus during the initial revamp, it's fair to say they're not daddy's favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagashsnee Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Any box with a solid discount like these is to be celebrated, splitting the marine one with a friend and once we factored in our local discount its works out to less then 50% GW direct price. Happy people. Inquisitor_Lensoven and Halandaar 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But switching the Assault Intercessors for Aggressors per your suggestion makes the boarding patrol worse value in terms of savings, worse value in terms of points and worse value in terms of model count. If you have a personal preference for Aggressors here that's fine, but it objectively makes the box worse in every measurable respect.

Never said it made it better in any financial or PpD way. just seems weird to me that 2/3 of the units are gravis, and the assault intercessors just feel kind of random to me.

jaxom Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 On 1/30/2023 at 1:54 PM, jaxom said: The Space Marine Boarding Patrol is priced about the same as the old Start Collecting boxs, with a similar body count. The old Space Wolf one was 10 Intercessors, 3 Aggressors, and a Space Wolf Primaris Battle Leader. So trade the Aggressors for Heavy Intercessors and the Battle Leader for a Gravis Captain. So final going has it as USD20 more than the old Start Collecting Box. Still, considering the Intercessors and Heavy Intercessors would be about USD125, that's not only a free character, but USD15 less than normal.

TrawlingCleaner Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) Oh man, these are pretty nice to be honest. The 'nid one feels a little sparse but 6 Warriors is definitely a beefy set of models! Interesting tidbit: Quote Reconnaissance suggests that the other factions in the 41st Millennium are mustering their own Boarding Patrols.

AenarIT Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Valrak was spot on on the GK one with Crowe. He mentioned a box for DA and one for AdMech, also one each for Tau and Orks with Farsight and Snikrot respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 It's a bit odd they didn't put an hq unit in the necron box. 'Here's a boarding patrol but to play it you're going to have to buy another £18-£25 model first'. Even putting in one of those royal wardens they can't seem to give away would be something.
