Paladin777 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 The Angelic Host detachment has a fall-back/advance and shoot/charge strategem, and won't have either red thirst or red rampage. So the spears would probably be the only source of [Lance] that these guys can get. If the rest of the detachment is a banger, I can absolutely see the spears getting use!

Xenith Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I actually updated this a last week, the CP is: x1 New Captain x6 Sang Guard x10 Assault Intercessors Upgrade Sprue/decal sheet :) Pretty weird CP if so - Isn't the captain on foot?

Karhedron Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Pretty weird CP if so - Isn't the captain on foot? Yes but he can lead the Assault Intercessors who are also on foot.

DemonGSides Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 (edited) Pretty weird CP if so - Isn't the captain on foot? We know for a fact it's three datasheets. Definitely the weirdest combat patrol.

Blindhamster Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Tbh as a combat patrol it honestly looks quite fun, and the fact the captain actually has a unit to join helps too Karhedron 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/383500-new-combat-patrol-speculation/page/2/#findComment-6058214 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhavien Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Are you free to split units in combat patrol or is the unit size also given? I mean, do the rules dictate that I have to run 10 AI plus Captain and 6 SG, or can I also run 5 Ai plus Captain, 5 Ai, 2x 3SG?

I mean, do the rules dictate that I have to run 10 AI plus Captain and 6 SG, or can I also run 5 Ai plus Captain, 5 Ai, 2x 3SG? The unit size is given, but Combat Patrol datasheets can give options not available to Codex equivalent datasheets. I would guess they will be able to be split to give us three units on the battlefield. Edit; Or it's two five man squads.

Karhedron Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Do you know if it will be the new upgrade sprue or the old one like the Dark Angels got? Looking at the images shown, it looks like the new upgrade sprues which is an improvement over the DA CP.

Spagunk Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 As I wind down from buying HH models, my eyes pans towards trying to make sure I have a BA compliant army, despite my aversion to primaris (:hiss:). I don't rightly like the SG models without a fair amount of kit-bashing but the box itself is pretty decent, possibly great. I am a fan of the captain which is definitely going to replace the generic primaris guys I've collected over the years. I really hope this combat patrol sticks around for a bit. I don't have a huge budget anymore for frivolous spending which means I am going to miss out on the DC big box (thanks Games-FOMO). Would really like to consider getting the combat patrol box. There's a couple of bits off the SG models I want to use for HH (specifically the pennant spear). The unfortunate part is that there's so many Assault Intercessors to which I already have a ton of thanks to cheap 9th edition box trades. If I can find a good replacement jump pack that I am happy with (please don't start with me on that) it may be worth while to just use the SG packs on the assault intercessors. That way it adds more BA flair to a traditionally blank unit.
