What combat patrol do you recommend for a 1st timer who does not care about winning but rather focus on having fun?
A Combat Patrol should feel like the first image you find when you google the army. Some manage that quite well. Others are... just 15 dudes in armor with guns.
"15 dudes in armor with guns" is what most of 40k is to me lmao
@@o7_AP Understandable xD But it does sometimes feel a bit "mid" when your other options are "16 dudes and 2 cool hoverbarges" or "a whole mixed arms regiment".
To be fair, the current tau patrol is 15 dudes in armour with guns and a giant mech, which represents the army pretty well.
@@HighEffortUsername Giant Mech makes everything awesome. I'd take a combat patrol with 20 Zangors if it had a mechanized Lord of Change in it.

I dunno why i did this, maybe EoB reads this and adds the chapters to the vid :)
This is really helpful! Thank you for making this!
I don’t really get why he gave Tyranids a C, largely because most of the units in the box weren’t currently meta. Then immediately gave Necrons an A, even though the doom stalker was the only meta unit in the box.
i wouldnt interpret this list as a "this is the guide to buy a combat patrol to perform"
Jay isnt a meta gameplay channel, hes first and foremost a painter and modeller, so he ranks them how much fun he has painting and building them, he uses the christmas day building/painting example a lot, which is why the ranking highly deviates from the meta.
For example, from a modelling and painting perspective, i love the Admech box, its cool units with a decent saving over buying them all seperate. but if you take pts/$ and gameplay into account (which he didnt really do in general) then it will be obviously at the end of the list. @@rickkcir2151
thanks
As a mecanicus player, the cp SUCKS, the horses get wiped off the board in seconds, and these boxes total are about the cost of a combat patrol
Not to mention it's like 255 points. The old one was WAY better
@@anthonyvelasquez1277way better but even that one wasn't great it was also quite a ways under the point average for combat patrols
Turned it off when he said it was good...
Thank you for sharing this info about this faction. I'm a collector and haven't gotten to play yet so I don't know how the game operates yet. I will still purchase this box once I'm done with the old combat patrol box, because I do love mechanicus! Here's hoping they get a little bit more love after apparently being nerfed into the ground according to my friend. I hope some day I can play with someone! 😊
Honestly the two different start collecting boxes where better than the combat patrol, but even then there really hasn’t been a good way to collect admech with how they are designed rules wise
Do you know how bad it has to be for EoB to say it stinks?
Usually he just said fine in a sad or defeated way.
Yeah, it hit me like a train. Never knew Jay could be so harsh 😭
Imagine thinking the ad mech got a good combat patrol lmao
He should watch Auspex Tactics and Poorhammer to make this list and not look silly.
255 FUCKING POINTS 😭
@@Adler87or people could have different opinions based on different criteria
@@tankmleehe gave the Death Guard CP a better grade than the Votann, and as a Death Guard player.... That's flat out wrong
It's nice from James Workshop to give you some thousand sons space marines with the Zangor combat patrol
Tzaangor* 🤓
@@DaBlueIghuana Disgusting mutants that must be purged, for the emperor and sanguinius*🤓
literally couldn't have said it better myself
I know everyone gets hot and bothered about points, but I just wish they all felt like a fair amount of plastic. The Vehicle (centerpiece), Infantry, Elite, Character should be the platonic ideal of a combat patrol. From there, fill in with extras so all boxes are close in weight and volume.
The combat patrols were pitched as competitive (at least point wise) with each other though, something you can just buy one box each and battle your friends, but in actuality it has hugely varying points and at least with Admech, has half the points they’re supposed to, not to mention half the time they throw a random leader in space marine boxes without even thinking about if they can attach to any units in the box
The new Admech one isnt even 300 points :(
Super displeased with admechs treatment by GW this time around. Fun models but
No matter what gw does to my golden boys, I'll always remember that it could be worse. Hope GW does you guys justice next time
Jays take on admech was garbage, clearly has no idea
It’s like a $10 discount to
I would say -F it isn't a Patrole and Probably not a Unit even you put all Modells in one
Grey Knights patrol is fantastic. There are people who have bought 3 or 4 of these - all of the sprues minus the librarian can be built in as a bunch of different units. Grandmaster or Regular Dreadknight. Strike Marines/Interceptors/Purgators/purifiers. Terminators/Paladins.
A little kitbashing can turn the Librarian into a chaplain or other character. Really solid. Getting your whole army at a discount is really good.
It’s because he doesn’t play Grey Knights so he doesn’t know how good that box is
Northern Exile can vouch for that.
No, it should have had 5 more strike marine bodies to even the model number out with others.
For the Space Marines you might as well buy the ultimate starter set. In the UK it’s only £35 more and you get the terrain, the Tyranid combat patrol, all the dice, rules, game board etc. much better value.
"it's a lot of pox walkers- it's like if the Ork combat patrol came with a bunch of Gretchen" that's literally what I want Jay, ya don't understand Orkz!!!
Man, I really wish you could run a Gretchen-only army. In Warhammer Fantasy and AoS, Goblins are sometimes the underfoot type in larger greens) Greenskin warbands that are dominated by Orks. But there are also entire tribes of just Goblins, some that are quite powerful.
I think a unit of grots in the box would be nice, but too many would be annoying since they shouldn't be the focus unless they get more rules intended to use them on their own and it is a separate box from the normal one.
I would kill for new Gretchin sculpts, so many cool little grots elsewhere where in the GW range, but those monopose ones are ancient.
@@lukesevern3923 I'm still running the old metal grots, and most people can't tell they aren't the 'new' box until they pick them up.
I am once again asking for a Orikan, Trazyn painting video
until i watched it i thought thats what the valentines video was
One day, one day
Not interested in necrons but I support you in your request
Favorite quote I heard about the BA combat patrol "it's a solid combat patrol, but it's not blood angels"
The Blood Angels combat patrol is S tier for me considering the batshit deal it is for just about every chapter.
Spend $160, sell the upgrades and transfers for $30 and you spent $130 on $240 worth of plastic.
2x boxes = $260 for $480 worth of models.
Gives one full intercessors squad which most armies run, 1 full incursors squad, and two squads of aggressors (scary good) The librarian models can be easily kitbashed into army appropriate characters, and if you don't want a second Impulsor, you can probably sell that too for $50 bringing your grand total down to $210
@@travis8106but it’s still not blood angels
Notably, the Tau combat patrol will be changing once the codex officially drops. New contents are 10 fire warriors, 10 Pathfinders, 1 coldstar/enforcer commander and a devilfish
imo its a great CP and will pick one up only after i paint my current minis.
@@B1-997 I think I personally prefer the current one. But I have a real love for the ghostkeel so I'm biased
@@Triptides77 i like the ghostkeel too, but not enough to get the current CP, maybe it was the overall stealth theme the box went with that turned me off.
Psychophage and Norn are criminally underpowered for how awesome the models are
The Grey Knight box is pretty great since you can get an entire army from just 2-3 of it tbh. It's value has taken a hit since the 2 or 3 price hikes they've done for Combat Patrols.
my collection of GK is 3 boxes plus some other stuff... next to custodes its one of the best
Theres also extra value in the fact that its the only place to find the “old” librarian in terminator armor which fits the scale of the army a bit better. Also no one takes strike squads in 10s anymore. Its usually 1 or 2 5 mans rn
@@MeatbagKillaXD very true
@@MeatbagKillaXD and with the strikes you get 5 of each back pack... you can either magnetize the packs or kitbash for 5 of each...
Those havocs come with 2 (TWO) of euch heavy weapon and you can fully magnetize the hellbrute with minimal effort; as an old school chaos dude, this box was nice for getting lots of the "new" upscaled marines for cheap
I say the Astra Militarum ome as is, it is pretty good. You kinda need like, multiple of all these units. Maybe not the FOBs, they alright, but everything else you definitely want tons of.
Jay: "All 40k armies now have their combat patrol"
Me: Cries in chaos knights
They have a CP, it's called one knight
Also nice to see a fellow chaos knight player
Can you bring one knight to a combat patrol game? That sounds very fun
@@jacobjohnston3983 No you cannot. Combat patrol has different rules than regular 40k
@@jacobjohnston3983 no sadly it was just a joke
It’s better to buy the starter box from 10th edition because for less expensive you can have the same without the librarian but with many tyrannids as well
You can even buy the termie librarian at retail and it is still cheaper.
More than that, you essentially get both the tyranid and SM combat patrols, a board to play on, and terrain. It's actually a really good way to get into the hobby.
@@tylerchadwell1267 that is only if you get the ultimate box. The the regular one is missing the librarian and barbgaunts. They put paint in the mini set just to jack the price vs last edition's.
You get the Wraithlord, not the Wraithknight in the Aeldari Combat Patrol. The Wraithknight is the 100£ Aeldari. Wraithlord is only 45.
A wraithknight in a Combat Patrol box would be insane
Definitely was a surprise to see the new DA box not come with any of the new models, and an actually useless HQ mini. 5 Deathwing Knights with a Termie Captain and something meaty to flesh it out (Brutalis/Ballistus Dread or some heavy shooters) would've made more sense.
While the models included in Admech are wonderful, that’s where all the praise ends. The most expensive army in the game, and unlike GSC who makes their combat patrol accessible to play the rest of the army, Admech gives you 270 points at most for $160. If these boxes are supposed to be roughly 500 points, this is just GW spitting Admech in the face like they usually do.
Also why can’t Tzeentch, Slaanesh, and Nurgle have a box? I didn’t know Khorne was literally all of demons.
I mean, at least nurgle has death guard and tzeentch has thousand sons, slaanesh has nothinf
When you said you were going to rate their crunchiness, for a split second I thought you wanted to eat them.
Sleep deprivation is fun.
8/10 for mouth feel.
The Admech one is pants for anyone saying otherwise, its like 250 pts in game. which is a shame as their one of my favourite armies. i must of picked up 3 or 4 of the old start collecting that included the dunecrawler, this CP should have had the floaty tank in it aswell
Side note: If you want to start a Genestealer Cult Necromunda gang then the box is currently the cheapest way in to be able to try all sorts of different gangers. Probably not the best use of the box, but if you're really itching for that then it does give you a great foundation to customize nearly everything.
I can make 4 of those Combat Patrols with what I already have, and 6 with one or two purchases. I think GW makes these things so that you’re really tempted to make those additional purchases.
Having just played a combat patrol tournament yesterday(my first) it was a ton of fun so this video comes at just the right time
I actually did get the death guard combat patrol as a christmas gift and it made me reconsider starting with death guard.
The Ad Mech combat patrol is a solid F tier box. Not sure how it got a B here but it can’t be played as a 500 point army, which was the entire point of combat patrols. God help you if you picked this up to play against a friend and they grabbed the custodies or demons box
It blows my mind that any of these boxes are considered acceptable at the $160 price point...even with the discounts you get from various stores.
and with some of them *looks at the mechanicus CP* you dont even have enough points to play combat patrol, forcing you to buy even more kits to fill out the rest of the points.
Thank you for not shitting on the sisters box, i've heard some strange takes on it, i think its a banger!
I bought two of them on ebay for cheap (without the rhinos, I have enough already) to go with the sisters from the Piety and Pain box.
The sisters box is a bit strange though, I think in a way it become better if you buy it twice because then at least you have slightly larger units of repentia and flagelants. Of course then you do run into the mono pose issue of your units but I guess that isn't the worst thing in the world. At least it offers a good saving and a nice mixture of different models.
Jay, it would have been AWESOME if the Ork box came with 30 grots.
They did an all-Kroot detachment and army box, is a Grot-box too much to ask for?
I agree with most of what you said.
World Eaters has a great deal. 20 Bizerkers, you can't beat that. Except with the Genestealer Cult Combat Patrol box. That is a solid A. 20 Neophytes and 5 Abhorrents, and the rockgrinder transport.
And all lead by the sexy Magus.
Great value.
Great video.
The space marines and tyranids CP's feel like "if you missed out on the leviathan box, you can get the discounted version"
Except you can get both of the combat patrols in the ultimate starter set for cheaper along with terrain
@@pixelfille3130 Agreed, as long at we're still in 10th edition, there is no reason to buy those boxes.
@@intzbk1 and when the edition shifts, the CP box will likely be changed too, so the starter box will be changed too.
@@yhormthemidget Lol! Too true! 😅
I feel like it’s exists to scare you into buying leviathan with a friend, like “if you missed out, you’re stuck with this”
For someone who talks about 'what is good' that much
You really say a looooot of weird stuff about the meta and genuine competitive play😂
Along with the value of a box. He calls the new Admech great when it is pitiful in points and discount, but then throws a hissy fit about not getting the extra five strike squad knights in GK when that box builds the whole army pretty much. I love this channel, but he clearly does not know enough about every faction to be presenting himself as an authority on this subject.
Yeah definitely, and he clearly doesnt know much about competitive play. Which isnt necessarily bad, but he seems to want to come across as if he does, lately.
Also 'the new guys' about the sister box? What new guys is he on about?😅😅
@JavierEscuelIa yeah the Admech combat patrol is widely regarded as THE worst combat patrol. It's the same price as something like the Dark Eldar box but offers I think about barely 300 points worth of Miniatures.
It's clear that Jay has never played Admech or so much as glanced at their codex.
Also he said he didn’t know that Combat Patrols were being replaced until Dark Angels, which could very well mean he didn’t even know the other mid Admech box existed before this one, and that one was x100 better than the new one
BLOOD FOR THE
B L O O D T H I N G S
I just started building miniatures a few weeks ago and this video is a huge help! i am working on black templars and death guard. I took one long hard look at the death guard combat patrol and decided I didn’t want it. Good to know i made the right choice putting it back on the shelf. As for templars, i saw your video about the templar army box several weeks ago and it is still selling for about the same price as the combat patrol, with nearly identical model set but extra goodies, so i went and ordered it and have been happy building what i got. But i was debating whether to get the combat patrol too considering the impulser and transfer parts. So i was watching this hoping you would say “yeah totally get two of these” and you said you could use 3, so sounds like a plan to me!
Just got the DG combat patrol to add to my army just cause I needed typhus and the putrifier, but the poxwqlkers was fun to paint in all honesty. Liking the box myself. Wish it had a blight hauler or some kind of vehicle.
I think you could make some slight improvements to the space marine patrol if you replaced the infernus squad with 10 infiltrators, replaced the terminators with 3 eliminators, replaced the librarian with 3 suppressors, replaced the captain with a phobos captain and threw in an impulsor
Wait a Minute
here before the joke goes over someone’s head
1 rule with combat patrol, and the conversion factor of the models, the load outs are preset, so unless you are wanting them for any other games, then you are restricted to what each model can have. (using the app, it is in 'unit composition', on each models datasheets)
Jay... Orks dont have plasma weapons.
Maybe meant the Kustom Megablasta idk lol
I'm absolutely in love with my Death Gaurd patrol i went out and bought more pox walkers for it.
I was literally looking at your older review of Combat Patrols last night wishing you'd do one for the updated boxes. I'm just now getting into Warhammer, and I really appreciate this info! I'm going with Space Wolves, even though I think their Combat Patrol could use more of the awesome unique units available for this faction. I'm going to use the more generic models to practice painting before I try to paint anything super awesome.
Grey Knight Box is an A easy. You get two of those you’re basically set for an army.
Wow, is Jay ever dropping hot take after hot take here. Half of these he says the same thing as everyone else, and then you get to his opinions on the AdMech, Grey Knights, Custodes, etc. Hot damn
I know it’s not *technically* a combat patrol, but I would have liked to see how the Chainbreaker Lance box got ranked.
1) Noise Marine Combat patrol?
2) For April, I'd love builders to do Word bearers with the theme of birds?
Why? Emperor’s Children isn’t a real army.
Not yet, not yet...@@SuperDuperHappyTime
@@qw3rty829 Im sorry but I want skaven like GW GIVE US BIG RAT FRIENDS
I'd settle for a noise marine kill team. But holding out hope we get a full emperors children release sometime in the near future.
Emperor's children is definitely coming. Perhaps this year
Funny thing is I recently bought the Space Wolves combat Patrol cause it kinda fulfilled everything I needed at the time:
- Had no intercessors cause I'm new
- First purchase was the Phobos Strike Team so Reivers are actually wanted
- I love Phobos and the only two Dreads I like are the Warsuit & the Ballistus
Only thing I didn't want was the Space Wolves Character but it counts as a Lieutenant so that's fiiiine, it's fiiiine, I wanna swap it with someone but it's fiiiine.
Will say, the way to make this sell: Put a Raven Guard name tag on it and photoshop the models black, best purchase for the emos.
EDIT: I also remembered something, everything can lead everything else in this Combat Patrol. The Lieutenant can lead the Intercessors & the Reivers can lead the Warsuit. I know it's not actually 'leading' but the Warsuit is meant to follow Phobos units and punish firing on them, it's like a reverse leadership.
What you need to remember with all the intercessors is that loads of us jumped on with Leviathan so we only have infernus marines at the moment and a deal on standard troops is well worth considering.
A regular Grey Knight Army is almost literally 3 Combat Patrols. Add a Castellan Crowe, make 10 of those Strike Squads into Purifiers, keep the other 5 as Strike Squad, get an Assassin and run 2 of the 3 Dreadknights? That's a competitive list right there.
Thanx for making this. It's probably boring to make, but, it's useful for us!
One benefit of the blood angel cp is the incursor screw also has infiltrator parts on it. Gives it the ability to turn those intercessors into infiltrators pretty easily for a bit of added variety.
Whoot! Love when you have long videos! 30 minutes ftw! ❤
I think you were pretty spot on with these and only sightly differed from my assesments. I do not however play killteam or 40K any longer. I play Necromunda Yaktribe rules, so pretty old school, but with a huge amount of flexibility. I have just decided to add the Fellgor killteam and a second Kroot killteam to my repetoire for a campaign I am going to run. The one combat patrol that interests me is the Genestealer Cult box.
i got 3 of the first Dark Angels combat patrol and put a jet pack on one chaplain, kit bashed another with an Indomitus outrider, and kept one stock and got the blood angel combat patrol for my Space Marine army
I bought the gray night comment patrol and I can confirm that they ran out the space in the box. It was literally up to the lid
The Necron Combat Patrol is the Indomitus command edition Necrons with the Doom Stalker being an addition. Their old Combat Patrol box had a lot more variety, but don't know how well it fields on the table as I've yet to build a single mini out of it yet even after owning it for nearly 3 years lol.
Grey Knights: I build my Army at a time, where you could get the contained boxes, the very same sprues, separate for a WAY lower price than packaged in this combat box. I'm so glad I left the hobby and bought a house instead :D
I always thought that the grey knights cp was basically legendary in value. Like, you can buy three of them and have a meta 2k army.
Imagine if Eldar box came with a Wraithknight and not a wraithLORD.
I have a theory that they didn't include a vehicle in the Ad Mech box because they included the Dunecrawler in one of the previous 'start collecting' boxes, (honestly wouldn't have minded a second dunecrawler), so this combat patrol combined with that starting collecting box gives you a nice overall starting point for building out a pretty robust army.
I don't understand the new DA box at all. They just released terminators, so swap the 10 intercessors for 5 terminators. Swap out the gravis captain for the bladeguard captain they just rereleased from Indomitus. Add in the new DA upgrade sprue to make those terminators into deathwing terminators, and you have a box that has roughly 40 more points in it, but actually functions without a floating captain. It doesn't have battleline, and swapping 10 intercessors for 5 terminators is less plastic, but it has a lot of things DA really like and it would also be applicable to any other chapter.
Yeah, I don't get why there were no DA exclusive units into the patrol.
My "Tinfoil Hat" theory for the 10 Intercessors is essentially corporate overhead. Because if the basic Space Marine Combat Patrol doesn't have Intercessors, then they'll need to be put *somewhere* else. Maybe because they want it to be just as much a companion purchase for Leviathan as an actual Dark Angels box? Maybe because they already decided that Blood Angels, Space Wolves, and Black Templars won't have Intercessors in their Combat Patrol boxes? I can't pinpoint any one exact reasoning behind it, but to me, this reaks of corporate overreach.
I was lucky, I got one of the last old Dark Angels CPs with the Dreadnought before they sold out. I was then gifted the new Dark Angels box on top of it. I picked up the Blood Angels CP as it pairs quite well with the new DA box as you can hook up that gravis captain with the Aggressors.
New here, love the lore so much I’m considering playing table top. Does this have a meta list? Do I have to get top 5 for me to win or be competitive? I like salamanders lore, which is making me build that as a first army.
Im just getting started in the hobby with a necron C P and glad to hear it was a good buy
The Space Marine and Tyranid Combat Patrols are actually negative value since you can get almost all of both from the "Getting Started" box, for cheaper than the price of a single Combat Patrol. All you miss are the Librarian (Not a big deal due to Termy problem mentioned) and the Barbgaunts, which are ugly models anyway.
Edit: Prices
Starter set - £65
Barbgaunts - £27.50
Total - £92.50
Save yourself £2.50 and get some Marines into the bargain
One recommendation if people want to buy the space marine boxes but already have a lot of regular Intercessors. If you have access to a 3d printer, you could print out some bolt pistols and chainswords for the bodies and turn them into Assault Intercessors.
Seeing you are working on Death Guard now, what would be your perfect DG combat patrol? I personally hope they do a few new cultists and some sort of dread.
Think for me I would like to see one of the drones or the blight hauler as the lil tank in the box.
29:15 I feel like the Votann holiday box is what the combat patrol should have been. The vehicles and chunky elites are so core to the army that it’s weird that it’s all lightweights.
I bought the Adeptus Mechanicus box, and I love it. I added on a Grav-y boat and I'm going to mostly use it in bits & pieces for Necromunda not 40K.
You're the best Warhammer hobbyist channel on youtube!
Someone probably already mentioned this: but the Tau box is changing to a Devilfish, Commander in Enforcer/Coldstar, 10 pathfinders and 10 firewarriors. I wonder if that may change your score..
Got the ork box as a birthday gift and was pretty happy with it.
Didn't really care for the warboss in mega armor, I personally would've liked the warboss with attack squig more.
Favorite piece out of the box is the deff dredd. It is by far my favorite model in 40k. It's just a big chonky clunker and I love it.
Building my first 40k army... saw the new Dark Angels models and jumped. Now I'm debating sending back The Lion, Belial, and the Deathwing Knights to change armies because of all the negatives surrounding the new codex and unit cost. Any advice on a better place to spend the initial $170 i've invested in the Dark Angels? Or should I keep the faith and stay the coarse for the glory of the Lion!?
He's the only man in the world to think highly of the Admech Combat Patrol 😮
Every mechanicus box before this has come with a vehicle that is wasn’t selling well so I think this one is actually a good change of pace
I own the T'au and thr previous Dark Angels boxes so I must agree wtirh your grading scale.
@EonsOfBattle I think you were missing a solid point Grey Knight box that's really a bummer. If you have that box under your Christmas tree it's fun to assemble them but if it comes to play you will recognized you have to decide if you want to put the Dread knight or the Termis on the Table... How would you feel about if you have to decide that and compare to your enemies your table has just very few units..
Tau is amazing cause you can make breachers and ad cadre. The ethereal give a CP on a 4+. The ghost keel is near unkillable in big 40k. And the stealth suits are decent
3:14 "it comes with models" rofl
It's funny, I watch all of your videos and don't own a single piece of Warhammer.
I played Orks in a league and really enjoyed them. They have a nice variety and hit hard enough for me to table my opponent in over half my games. I plan to play them again when the next league starts.
Cons
Deff Dread - Rokkit launcha and 3 dread klaws only.
Orks - Can barely hit the broad side of a barn.
Warboss Gordrang - All by himself with no one to attach to.
Pros
Deffkoptas - They have 6 dice each in close combat and during a WAAAGH! blood was sprayed everywhere.
Deff Dread & Warboss Gordrang - Will tear through units like they are tissue and are hard to kill.
Do you think which one should get higher score, the leviathan combat patrol or the white draft lictor combat patrol? I think leviathan is stronger list but the lictor one is cooler.
LoV is one expensive army to collect and all the units in the box are strong. I like the box as a start to an army, but would probably not buy two. The bikes are one of the strongest units in the index btw 😅
Also, with the Sororitas combat patrol, Everything is monopose with the worst possible equip.
i think the aeldari and the tau box sets are pretty class!
I'd love to see you ranking all the vanguard/spearhead boxes!
Works Eaters should be an A for the sole fact you get Lord Invocatus on the same Lord on Jug sprew. Aside from the great character model, you also get some killer leftover heads to use for a Master of Executions conversion.
My only beef with the world eaters combat patrol is the amount of zerks. I got the combat patrol and the angron christmas box and ended up with 30 zerks. Being as most lists run very few zerks, it's rough trying to slap a list together from the 2 boxes.
I play Dark Angels and the new Combat Patrol whiffs. Not a single Dark Angel specific unit or anything new for the "all new" box. The Hellblaster are in there just because *plasma*. I get the Intercessors because they're Space Marines, but they have plenty of other options for the remaining models. There's already a chapter specific Captain in Master Lazarus or even Asmodai to stick with the theme for the old box. They could have easily switched out the Bladeguard for the new Inner Circle Companions and dropped the Hellblasters for 3 Outriders with the upgrade sprue to run them as Black Knights. Another swing and a miss like the standard Space Marines box
I have a question does Combat Patrol purpose to be first impression for someone to join 40k? Like a start for your army yea?
Can't wait for Other Games April
This man really put 2 out 4 of the best deal/army starter combat patrol the grey knight and adeptus custodes a B, yeah and next thing you're gonna say is that rhino and impulsor in combat patrol are a great addition.
Now I know what to buy my neice for Christmas.
I personally gotta give the World Eaters box a D-, 20 Zerkers is valuing you out of any boxes that contain Zerkers in the future, Eg. The far superior Exalted of the red angel box that contained 10 zerkers was no longer a good discount if you had previously acquired the combat patrol.
As I watch on. Adeptus mech, is the human orks.
Just anything that might work.
I think if you play Ad mech like Orks could be really fun
Thanks for the reviews. I still cant get used to the space marine designators
The Chaos Daemons Combat Patrol is basically a must-buy for Age of Sigmar: Blades of Khorne, too. Kill things, get killed, summon Khorne daemons for free, granted you own the models. It's basically everything in the summoning pool besides named characters or bloodthirsters.
