Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Combat Patrol: Genestealer Cults

Product Information

Now obviously this is a powerful shooting tool, letting you outperform your otherwise average stats, though you need to position carefully, and focus fire is crucial to both set it up and maximise the benefits, but this adds some potent punch. The Skorpekh Lord and its Destroyer pals can advance, cutting their way through any enemy unit foolish enough to get close, while the Necrons Warriors follow behind, supporting with volleys of deadly gauss fire. Indomitus Space Marines

Combat Patrols Coming Soon! - Spikey Bits 5 New Warhammer 40k Combat Patrols Coming Soon! - Spikey Bits

These boxes have felt like they have been coming for a while considering it’s been a few months since we saw their combo box. The Thousand Sons one is a little strange just because it has so many Tzaangors and it’s basically the same as the Hexfire box but with 10 more Tzaangors added in. The Grey Knights one is also similar but with Terminators added in as well and no Crowe. For those occasions where you need a little sneakiness, the Combat Patrol box features three Stealth Battlesuits , and for when you just need raw firepower, there’s a Ghostkeel Battlesuit . Finally, you also get an Ethereal to provide some spiritual guidance to the army and scoot around dramatically on their hover drone.

The second generation maintains an extra arm, but the march towards passing as human has begun. The third generation is more humanoid than those before, though still alien in appearance. We’ve spoken a lot about Warhammer 40k here, but what if your tastes run to the smaller board? Necromunda is a game set on the titular Hive World and, with Genestealer Cults commonly making Hives their base of operations, it’s natural that they would be a great fit for a Necromunda team. Rapid Advance- Auto Advance 6” with a GENESTEALER , BIKER or VEHICLE unit. At 1 CP this offers a solid option for board presence, or outright offense with the Patriarch or Purestrains given their innate Advance and Charge. Especially useful with Rusted Claw who can continue to shoot without a downside after Advancing, allowing them to set up Crossfire easily. One with the Shadows- An INFANTRY unit gets +1 to their Save if benefiting from Cover when shot at, lasting until the end of the Shooting Phase. Suddenly bumping your basic cheap infantry up to a 3+ Save when in Light Cover can be a pretty significant survivability boost for a key unit, especially for Four-Armed Cults who get Cover innately over 12” (as the Stratagem says receiving the benefits of cover, not receiving the benefits of cover from Terrain). Cheap at 1CP to keep a unit around longer against small arms fire.

Warhammer 40K: Genestealer Cult Combat Patrol Next Steps

Getting another Combat Patrol box is a must to fill awkward model counts (Arco-Flagellants and Repentia) Amulet of the Voidwyrm- Grants a 4++, enemies can’t Overwatch or Set to Defend against the bearer, and once per game they can automatically make a Save on a 6 (before rolling). A good spread of benefits, though realistically one of them will often be wasted on most Characters. As such, consider the two parts you’ll want most on a Character and go from there.You’ll also need to look out for if you can draw a 1mm line between any part of two CROSSFIRE models that are visible to each other, that crosses over an enemy unit, and doesn’t go over Obscuring as it does so. If it does, it is Exposed.

Thankfully, Games Workshop agrees, which is why it’s provided free Genestealer Cults Necromundarules– allowing you to take your genetically twisted army with you when you visit the Hive. Overloaded Fuel Cells- A unit’s Industrial Weapons become mini-plasma, granting either +1 Dmg for Ranged Weapons, or +1 Str for Melee, at the cost of suffering 1 Mortal Wound for each 1 to Hit. The Ranged boost is much stronger than the melee one and so use of this should be concentrated there, though the Str boost can be useful depending on the unit (Twisted Helix Aberrants hitting at Str 10 vs T5 units, for example). The Mortal Wounds can be passed off to other members of the unit, not just the wielder of the Industrial Weapon, so feel free to sacrifice some Autoguns for that tasty +1 Dmg on some Mining Lasers.Fanatical Devotion- For a CP, a CORE unit can Heroically Intervene 6”, but only against one enemy unit that is within Engagement Range of a PATRIARCH , MAGUS , or PRIMUS , and only if they don’t get in Engagement Range of any other enemy units when they finish the move. There’s obviously a number of restrictions here, and whilst it can be useful to add in a big unit of ACOLYTES into a melee, oftentimes you won’t find yourself able to use this much, precisely due to the limitations. Good to have, but not something that will see much use outside of niche scenarios. The core of the new box (as with all T’au Empire armies) is a Fire Warriors Strike Team – ten troops to lay down withering storms of pulse fire while they claim objectives.* Leading them into battle is a Cadre Fireblade , an expert commander with years of battlefield experience. Warhammer Community announced all the boxes but not exact release dates. All they said is over the next few months, but we expect the Tau one to come out along with their codex considering they only will have 1 new kit and 1 new box set/upgrade sprue. Genetic Lineage- Let’s an ACOLYTE or METAMORPH unit charge even if they Advanced this turn. Great at 1CP for the extra burst of speed granted, and the neat thing with this is it’s used in the Charge phase, meaning you can either go in knowing you’ll need it, or can simply use it for redundancy if the Psychic Stimulus power fails to cast. Covering Fire- An enemy unit with a Crossfire marker in your Charge Phase can’t fire Overwatch, Set to Defend or Heroically Intervene. A powerful tool for a CP to protect a unit on the way in, or to shut down a unit looking to utilise rules or Stratagems to catch you flatfooted via an Intervention.
