Dread Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I just bought the box. My question is how would you set up a boarding patrol with just those models? 500 pts with Jain Zarr and the banshee for sure but how how would you kit out the corsair? Playing our first game of this Saturday night. Thanks and sorry I've been away so long Xenith 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/378189-how-should-i-kit-out-the-aeldari-boarding-patrol-box/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Personally, I think the corsairs at 10pts each with a powersword are pretty amazing. Now you don't even need compulsory troops in an Arks of Omen detachment, I think 5 man squads of these are great, and I'm toying with the idea of a 10 man blaster, blaster, wraithcannon shuriken rifles unit also. One of each specialist might be fun, and you can use them as voidscarred also. The banshee exarch I'd make with mirrorswords and add piercing strike for 10A on the charge and 2D. So just from that box, I'd probably go: Jain Jar 5 banshees with mirrorswords and piercing strike 2x5 corsairs with swords and neuropistol, maybe a blaster in each unit? 1x10 corsairs with rifles and 2x blasters.

Dread Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 Thanks for the response. I like the idea. Wouldn't a 4+ invul for the banshees be a better option? This is my set up... Jain Zar Banshee mirror swords grace 5 corsair neuro 10 voidscare Felarch rifle Wayseeker 4 pistol psword Pistol and inferno Blaster Shade Soul I think the psycher will be good in a pinch and a healer for possible revive. Now I guess taking Beil Tan for the banshee and Jain only makes sense but to bad it won't work for the corsairs.

In 9th, at least, you have to kill what you charge in the first place as things are not particularly tough, so piercing strikes will kill 100% more space marines than one without. The 4+ Invuln is nice on paper, but it's only against melee, and only a 4++ - you really have to worry about getting boltered to death at that point. Even with the 4++ save, they're still only T3 1W glass cannons. If it was a flat +1 save in combat, or the banshee mask blocked people from falling back, it might be nice.

Dread Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 Got it. They do have a 5++ anyway against both so I will change that.
