After the introduction of the [[Boarding Actions]] mode in the [[Arks of Omen]] supplement, [[Boarding Patrol Boxes]] were also released to support the format.

			With the release of 10th edition, these boxes have become an actual part of gameplay, as "Combat Patrol" changed its meaning from "games played at 500 points" to "Games where you're allowed to play the contents of one Combat Patrol box"

	\| The Gods have finally bestowed its loyal followers with a good starter box after 2 very chaff-heavy CP’s, one of which is actually illegal to bring fully.

Even the monoposed Dark Apostle can be used as a Sorceror or Chaos Lord with enough finesse as well as counting his acolytes as Cultists. If you can also get your hands on the old Start Collecting box from 8th edition, you will have yourself a solid Chaos Marines army.		\| The Gods have finally bestowed its loyal followers with a good starter box after 2 very chaff-heavy CP’s, one of which is actually illegal to bring fully.

	\| World Eaters players, ~~please share your opinions here~~.		\| What a box. After witnessing the amount of Tzaangors and Poxwalkers in their respective Patrol boxes, World Eaters players were worried about getting flooded with Jakhals in a similar manner, or getting an decade old helbrute or dinobot as filler. Turns out someone at GW might have a soft spot for our favourite lunatics as the set is composed entirely of new kits.
			*The Juggerlord kit is a trove of bits and savvy collectors could build both options by copying the torso.
			*Berzerkers; there's 20 of them, which makes this box so damn good. While doubling up on melee weapons seems to be a thing of the past the alleged stats paint a gory picture of blood and suffering in the future.
			*The Jakhals are akin to Tzaangors and Poxwalkers, a chaff unit cultist variant that serve as either action monkeys, tarpits, and/or general annoyance.
			Overall a good start for new followers of Khorne or a nice bundle of fresh meat for well established headtakers. Doubling up on this box is also feasible since World Eaters specifically allows double dipping on Lords.
