Looking into another combat patrol

[MadGamerAK]

Hey, so I am looking into another combat patrol to make things a little cheaper, and as for the intercessor squad that come with it, would i be able to combine them with the one i already have? And if so, would I need to make one of the Sgt's just a normal intercessor?

[Helias_Tancred]

Yes.

 

Yes. Just build him like a regular intercessor. Personally I prefer to run them in squads of 5. Better to spread out and get more use from their sticky objectives. But a squad of 10 is a lot of bolter shots!

Hmmm, well, I'll have to decide how I'll do them once I get the combat patrol, thanks.

I'll probably end up putting them together then buying 1 or 2 more intercessor squads.

Mobility and flexibility seems to be more effective this edition than having one big blob, so I’d agree with @Helias_Tancred and say running them as two squads is probably better even if you’re going to get more. I don’t play templars so I don’t know if there are any other special rules that would change this but for other marine armies this definitely seems to be the case. More units = more ground you can cover. Also, you can get an extra lot of sergeant upgrades for free.
