Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - BOARDING PATROL: Space Marines

Product Information

You may have noticed that blood is a common theme this week, and that goes double for Wednesday’s Warhammer+ releases. Battle Report tears open the Warcry: Bloodhunt boxed set for an epic clash using the new warbands and Fortification rules, while Citadel Colour Masterclass presents an in-depth tutorial for painting all of the blood effects you’ll need for the incoming World Eaters. The only problem? Everyone else wants in on the action, and now the whole galaxy is boarding the Arks of Omen in search of glory, treasure, or just a big punch-up. In fact, four more Boarding Patrol boxes are preparing for launch in the near future – and only one of them might be said to have the Emperor’s best interests at heart…

The Tyranids aren’t terribly bothered by the exact state of galactic geopolitics at present – they just like a ready supply of tasty biomass, and a space hulk to ride around in. Their Boarding Patrol contains six adaptable Tyranid Warriors to split into squads of three, eight fast-moving Genestealers , and a fearsome Broodlord to direct them all. Status: Released July 22, 2023 Space Marine Librarian in Terminator Armour (10th edition) Space Marine Librarian in Terminator Armour The Brutalis Dreadnought is a powerful melee cousin of the Redemptor that can rip vehicles apart with shredding talons, or lay into foes with a pair of fists fitted with twin bolt rifles. The Desolation Squad can meanwhile arm themselves either with superfrag missiles for blasting infantry or superkrak missiles for busting tanks – with indirect-fire castellan launchers on the side. This new Gallowdark expansion, with a new Adeptus Arbites Extraction Squad and a Hand of the Archon Kabalite Squad, was revealed on January 27, 2023. These two new Boarding Patrol boxes for the Boarding Actions game mode were revealed on January 9, 2023.Chaos Space Marines Transfer Sheet: This transfer sheet contains 364 transfers, allowing you to customise your Chaos Space Marines with a range of iconography and markings. This can help your models stand out on the tabletop and give them a unique identity within your collection.

This long-awaited separate release of the Shadowspear Master of Possession was revealed on August 13. Genestealers have a long and storied history infesting space hulks, and their legacy continues in Boarding Patrol: Tyranids. A powerful Broodlord leads a cadre of eight Genestealers – dominating close combat specialists in their own right – and six Tyranid Warriors with a variety of organic weapons for range and melee. You can see this Boarding Patrol in action in the latest Battle Report on Warhammer+.Let us know in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group, or our new Discord server, and make sure you enter the latest monthly giveaway for FREE today! This multipart version of the Sternguard Veteran Squad from the Leviathan box was revealed on August 31, 2023. Jakhals are brutal human cultists pumped with combat stims and eight drops of the warp-infused blood of true World Eaters, turning them into furious melee machines with no regard for their own lives. They’re effective fighters in their own right, and throw themselves into enemy guns for a chance to please their murderous god. World Eaters Datacards and Dice Set This new campaign book, the second in the The Aranthian Succession series, was revealed on March 17, 2023.

This new Strike Force Box includes 5 Heavy Intercessors (already released separately), a 10-man Desolation Squad, a Brutalis Dreadnought and a new Primaris Lieutenant. It was revealed on January 27, 2023.This new group of characters (of which the squat-looking fellow above is just one of 4 members) was revealed on November 21, 2022. Chaos Cultists: These expendable troops are armed with brutal assault weapons and autopistols, making them ideal for overwhelming enemy positions through sheer numbers. They are perfect for leading the charge into enemy lines, soaking up enemy fire and drawing attention away from your more valuable units. The crisis deepens – Angron is loose , Vashtorr is scheming , and Abaddon’s Arks of Omen are voyaging to every corner of the galaxy in search of who knows what. The Imperium is scrambling to regain the upper hand, dispatching boarding parties in a last-ditch attempt to stop the Warmaster’s vile plans. The immediate difference between the Boarding Patrol and other Warhammer 40,000 Detachments is that nothing is compulsory,” Rich explains. “It’s perfectly viable to take no Troops or HQs whatsoever, allowing lists to lean into clear concepts like an all- Navy Breacher force, or take nothing but Khorne Berzerkers – the gentleman’s choice.”

This new book which collects all the supplements released for the game so far was revealed on April 16, 2023. Status: Released The Aranthian Succession: The Vaults of Temenos The Aranthian Succession: The Vaults of Temenos Next steps for this one? I’d grab the Boarding Patrol box for the Chaos Space Marines and tact in those 630 points right off the bat. That will bring you up to 1375 + wargear. Plus, it will give you some much needed troop support. If you want to go up to a full 2000 point army you’ve got room to work with. Maybe a Land Raider to ferry your units and deliver a payload of Possessed to your enemy’s face? This one is strange because a lot of the value comes from the Plague Marines, and considering the reinforcements box is so expensive for three minis; it’s hard to say.

Finally, the Death Guard heed Abaddon’s call, with an obdurate if slimy Boarding Patrol led by a Lord of Virulence. He’s joined by a bodyguard of three Deathshroud Terminators, as well as 10 versatile Plague Marines – three of which are taken from the much-sought-after Plague Marine Reinforcements set. This Ultimate starter set for 40k 10th edition contains everything in the regular starter set plus the Core Rules, some scenery, a Librarian in Terminator Armour and 5 Barbgaunts, which makes the set contain a Space Marines Combat Patrol and a Tyranids Combat Patrol, making it the only starter set for this edition that can actually be used to play a legal gaming mode in 10th edition to its full extent. It was revealed on July 3, 2023. This scenery for the Astra Militarum was officially revealed (we think – it was at least leaked before that as a kit to be released) on February 12, 2023. The Warmaster himself leads a squad of 10 Legionaries – complete with a Kill Team upgrade sprue that adds numerous options for Boarding Actions mayhem, like the sorcerous balefire tome and butchering heavy chainaxe – with 20 fanatical Chaos Cultists tagging along to flood the corridors as meatshields. Boarding Patrol: Tyranids Alongside plenty of new lore advancing the storyline, this book contains further rules for the Boarding Actions, including unique upgrades for Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines, World Eaters, Grey Knights, Astra Militarum, and Orks Boarding Patrols.
