Boarding Patrol Boxes

Boarding Patrol Boxes are kinda like Combat Patrol Boxes, but smaller and built around the Boarding Actions mode first introduced in Arks of Omen.

Notice that, differently from Combat Patrols, Boarding Patrols are all limited releases in the style of the Christmas Battleforces, so you should probably hurry when they go on preorder if you want one.

The boxes[edit | edit source]

Name Contents Savings (compared to the kits sold separately) Deal? Notes Image
Adepta Sororitas 1 Canoness, 10 Dominions/Celestants, 10 Sisters Repentia, 5 Celestian Sacresants $$ Good Sisters players, please give your opinions here.
Adeptus Custodes Captain-General Trajann Valoris, 5 Custodian Guards, 3 Allarus Custodians $$ Good Custodes players, please give your opinions here.
Adeptus Mechanicus 1 Tech-Priest Dominus, 10 Skitarii Vanguard/Rangers, 3 Kataphron Destroyers/Breachers, 5 Sicarian Infiltrators/Ruststalkers $$ Good Mechanicus players, please give your opinions here.
Agents of the Imperium 1 Eversor Assassin, 20 Imperial Navy Breachers, the whole Elucidan Starstriders Kill Team $$ Good? ...technically they can be played in any Imperium army, know it.
Aeldari Jain Zar, 20 Voidreaver Troops/Voidscarred Reavers, 5 Howling Banshees $$ Good Eldar players, please give your opinions here.
Chaos Daemons (again actually just Khorne like for the Combat Patrol) Karanak, 10 Bloodletters, 10 Flesh Hounds $$ Good Khorne players, please give your opinions here.
Chaos Space Marines Abaddon, 10 Chaos Space Marines, 20 Cultists $$ Good GW saw all the tournament lists running Chaos Marines and figured that they might as well give us players the right units. Abaddon is your most powerful unit in the entire army and cultist blobs can ensure he can be protected long enough to devastate your opponent’s 500 point list. As for the marines, their kit is always good to have with the customization and free wargear options. They will always have better rules than your mere mortals, so use them wherever cultists can’t be bothered to.
Death Guard 1 Lord of Virulence, 10 Plague Marines, 3 Deathshroud Terminators $$ Good Death Guard players, please give your opinions here.
Drukhari 1 Succubus, 20 Wyches, 5 Incubi $$ Good Dark Eldar players, please give your opinions here.
Genestealer Cults 1 Abominant, 10 Acolyte Hybrids/Hybrid Metamorphs, 1 Kelermorph, 5 Aberrants $$ Good Genestealer Cult players, please give your opinions here.
Grey Knights Castellan Crowe, 5 Terminators/Paladins, 10 Grey Knights $$ Good Unironically nice. Outside of its main purpose, combining this set with the Combat Patrol makes a great starting point for Grey Knights.
Leagues of Votann 1 Einhyr Champion, 10 Hearthkyn Warriors, 5 Chtonian Beserks, 5 Einhyr Hearthguards $$ Good Votann players, please share your opinions here.
Necron 10 Warriors, 10 Lychguards/Triarch Praetorians, 3 Ophydian Destroyers $$ Good Lychguard are a great protector unit and Praetorians’ multiple attacks are always good for non-aoo games with their swift flying charges. You can’t go wrong with having enough Warriors either, and Ophydians give your army a little deepstriking potential before reducing your enemy to dust. Note that this box doesn’t come with an HQ, which is a blessing in disguise because it means you can buy multiple packs without redundant characters.
Orks Boss Snikrot, 10 Beast Snagga Boyz, 10 Kommandos, 5 Flash Gitz $$ Good ALERT: This box is going to be the first release of the new Snikrot model.
Space Marines 1 Captain in Gravis Armor, 10 Assault Intercessors, 5 Heavy Intercessors $$ Good Space Marine players, please give your opinions here.
T'au Empire Commander Farsight, 10 Fire Warriors/Breachers (plus Drones), 3 Crisis Battlesuits (plus Drones) $$ Good Alert: This box is going to be the first release of the new Farsight model.
Thousand Sons 20 Rubric Marines, 2 Chaos Spawns $$ Good Thousand Sons players, please give your opinions here.
Tyranids 1 Broodlord, 8 Genestealers, 6 Tyranid Warriors $$ Good Putting regular 40k aside, this gives a selection of all the non-Gaunt options for a Tyranid compendium Kill Team roster. All you need to add to have every option are two more Genestealers and 8 of any kind of Gaunt (and those are not necessary as 6 Warriors - or 3 plus a fire team of Genestealers - is not a bad selection).
