Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - BOARDING PATROL: Orks

Product Information

You can also go all-in and pick up a Steel Legion Platoon, which packs in an Officer leading 20 Steel Legion Guardsmen (including two missile-armed Heavy Weapons Teams) and three Heavy Weapons Teams with lascannons. In a world of bloody Boarding Actions, it’s easy to forget the colossal battles that define the 41st Millennium are still taking place. Once again, this is your first opportunity to secure this kit, which is currently exclusive to Combat Patrol: Orks. You can also only take a single CHARACTER – no sense risking your whole command corps inside a shadowy space hulk. For example, which unit will you walk through a furnace to score Victory Points, and which unit do you task with guarding the OFF switch for said furnace?

The Adeptus Mechanicus bring a flexible force of 10 Skitarii, who can be built as Rangers or Vanguard, backed up by three hulking Kataphrons, which can be built as Destroyers or the appropriately-named Breachers. The Balefleet Battleforce is a contingent of corrupted warriors comprised of 10 Possessed , five Chaos Space Marine Terminators , and a Heldrake , all led by an infernal Daemon Prince. Way out in the Damocles Gulf, another Key fragment lies waiting to be found on the dead planet of Arthas Moloch.

There’s more to come from the Arks of Omen yet, as the machinations of Vashtorr and Abaddon come to a brutal head in the forthcoming fifth book in the series – The Lion . Sign up for the Warhammer Community newsletter to find out when these boxed sets are heading to release, and get ready to battle for the galaxy’s fate in the latest season of Matched Play. There’s more krumpin’ to be found today at the Warhammer World Open Day, as a certain T’au commander redoubles his efforts to defeat the Dakka Waaagh!

Yet despite millennia of evolutionary odds stacked against them, a handful of Orks have embraced da kunnin’ but brutal ways of Mork, favouring sneakin’ about with massive knives over headlong assaults and big dakka – hang on, what’s that right behind you? The Deff Dread is the one model in the box that isn’t new, but it’s amazing and you can never have enough of them. Boarding Patrol: Orks is a musclebound collection of tough-as-nails fighters led by the legendary Kommando Boss sporting a brand new model. This box packs in five tooled-up Flash Gitz, 10 Beast Snagga Boyz, and 10 Kommandos – their loyal Distraction Grot and Bomb Squig in tow.

Chaos Daemons have – appropriately, given the arrival of Angron – manifested as a huffing and slavering crash of Khornate nightmares. Boarding Actions are an excellent way to build small, thematic armies that can’t fill the full-sized battlefields of Warhammer 40,000, such as these Aeldari Corsairs . VEHICLES , MONSTERS , BIKES , and CAVALRY are out, as well as anything with a JUMP PACK or some other way to FLY about. Alongside this hefty chunk of groundbreaking lore, the series lays out rules for a whole new game mode – Boarding Actions bring the full Warhammer 40,000 experience into the close confines of a ship-to-ship assault. A heady mix of daemonic power and debased Astartes ceramite, this Battleforce is the ideal way to throw in your lot with the Warmaster and start scouring the galaxy for the keys to victory.

On top of all that, there are rules for games with 3-4 players, and a new Dark Depths game mode that mixes up terrain placement. Don’t believe your eyes and double check your Auspex because the ultimate Kommando is coming to a tabletop near you. The Corsair Voidscarred bring all the toys from their Kill Team set, taking up the lion’s share of the points but punching far above their weight with psychic powers, blasters, fusion pistols, and a shuriken cannon.

Not content with the usual shooty ’fing in one hand and choppy ’fing in the other, he’s opted for ALL choppy, in BOTH hands, happy to let his grot “assistant” ride shotgun, or, er, big shoota in this case. Paint the tree with Dryad Bark , the armour with Mephiston Red , and make certain panels stand out with Word Bearers Red . Their dynamic poses and extra details make them a joy to build and paint whether they’re your very first Boyz, or you’ve already got 100 on your display shelves.

In typical Ork fashion, you’ll spot bits of other machinery if you look closely, including exhaust stacks from Imperial vehicles, parts of other Ork flyers like the Dakkajet , and loads more. Boarding Patrol: Grey Knights contains the flawless soul of Castellan Crowe, as well as five Terminators, and 10 supremely versatile Grey Knights that can be built as Strike, Interceptor, or Purifier squads. So many Boarding Patrols have launched over the last few months, it’s a wonder there’s any fighting left to do on actual planets at all. The complete list of what’s available is as follows – all cast in metal: Armageddon Steel Legion Officer with Power Sword, Armageddon Steel Legion Officer with Power Sword and Bolt Pistol, Armageddon Steel Legion Commissar, Armageddon Steel Legion Sergeant, Armageddon Steel Legion Infantry Squad, Armageddon Steel Legion Guardsman with Plasma Gun, Armageddon Steel Legion Heavy Bolter Weapons Team, and Armageddon Steel Legion Lascannon Heavy Weapons Team.Arks of Omen: Abaddon kicks off a grand new future for Warhammer 40,000 with the most important narrative leap since the Gathering Storm. At least the models are fairly new, so the box isn’t cluttered with some of the more ancient kits of the Orks range. Mustering the right force for a Boarding Action presents its own strategic challenges, as the unique environment revokes access to some of the fastest and biggest units available to most factions. Abaddon spearheads elements of his current campaign in person, and so the Chaos Space Marine Boarding Patrol includes the Despoiler himself , 10 Chaos Space Marine Legionaries , and 20 Cultists for you to cherry-pick your own patrol from.
