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

Product Information

Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too. The short version is that my homebrew chapter that I’ve worked on for eight years are the Iron Panthers. I’d grab the Boarding Patrol box for the Chaos Space Marines and tact in those 630 points right off the bat. The inclusion of iconic figures like Abaddon the Despoiler, with his legendary weapons Talon of Horus and Drach’nyen, adds a layer of narrative depth, illustrating their ancient hatred and exceptional skill. With the way line of sight works and close distances, I think the flamer options could be super effective in Boarding Actions.

I jest, but space marines done slightly differently are both the most milquetoast version of your guys, and the most time honored one. These are my first units for CSM and I'd probably only really use them in boarding action type games for now, at least until I get some more points.

If you need points shave off 10 cultists and add wargear or upgrade the Sorcerer to Terminator Armour. These fervent followers add to the thematic chaos, showcasing the legion’s ability to overwhelm their enemies through sheer numbers and zeal. Out of the box this collection has a few too many points for a single Boarding Action force, but that just gives you more options to play around with. I also felt that in a whole force of high-speed operator-ass types, a sprinkle of classic Astarte style is still warranted. Once the defenders of humanity, the Heretic Astartes long ago pledged themselves to the Dark Gods they now lead vicious raids against Imperial spacecraft and drifting space hulks alike, seeking glory and plunder.

Based on the few tips we know about Boarding Actions so far, I would say that the Marine Box is poised to be a surprisingly effective force — with the right back-up. Unfortunately, I am confined by petty constructs like money and capacity to deal with shit, so I always start with list-building to tighten my horizons. If only those Cultists had some actual customizability - all of the special weapons are locked in the "Cultist Warband" set.I tell her that I positively must pick up a Phobos Strike Team Box, Deathwatch Veterans, Hellblasters, and the Black Templars Upgrades. Lead from the front with a powerful Captain in Gravis Armour wielding a boltstorm gauntlet and a choice of fearsome melee weapons – ideal for contesting the confines of an enemy vessel. We’ve already discussed what a Boarding Patrol detachment looks like, but if you want to get involved with a fresh force, check out these two new Boarding Patrol boxes.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Damaged condition cards show obvious tears, bends, or creases that could make the card illegal for tournament play, even when sleeved. Making every model special to me is important, because they spend the majority of their time on my display shelf.I dislike the rounded, stubby proportions of Gravis armour, and I felt that shields would be a viable alternative in close-confines. The Emperor’s finest are the prime bulwark against Abaddon’s nefarious schemes, and this Boarding Patrol is typical of their brutal efficiency in such matters. A squad of five Heavy Intercessors provide supporting firepower with a variety of heavy bolt weaponry, their armoured bulk warding off breachers as they flood whole corridors with a hail of death. If you’ve been living away from the bullhorn, Boarding Actions are the small-format 40K ruleset from Arks of Omen focusing on infantry and close-quarters combat. 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.
