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

Product Information

Select Options and Deduct Points: If that unit has access to any other upgrades or options, you can use them now. Note down the number of models in the unit, any weapons and wargear they have, and the units points cost on your army roster. Subtract the unit’s total points from your total. If you do not have enough points left, you cannot add that unit to that Detachment.

Again, as mentioned before, the savings gained in this box are excellent, and you’ll feel like you’ve got your money’s worth with the sheer amount of plastic in the box. Boarding Patrol: Agents of the Imperium – Points In other cases, new rules have been adapted to suit the claustrophobic battlefield. Units can stand on top of objective markers, for instance, just as they did in the previous edition. Some of those corridors would get mighty cramped if they couldn’t! When selecting the targets of a charge, if the charging unit or the potential target are wholly within a Lighting Area that has the lights off: Naturally if you have the benefit of foresight,* you’ll want to maximise the weapons that perform best against your enemy. The new Boarding Actions Core Rules replace the original ones found in Arks of Omen: Abaddon , adapting the new core rules of Warhammer 40,000 to frantic shipboard battles. However, they’re designed to work with the missions – and mission sequences – presented in all five Arks of Omen books,* giving you dozens of missions and a variety of game modes to play through right from the start.Set Overwatch: This can be performed in the Movement Phase, and allows the unit performing it to fire Overwatch against enemy units. The only problem? Everyone else wants in on the action, and now the whole galaxy is boarding the Arks of Omen in search of glory, treasure, or just a big punch-up. In fact, four more Boarding Patrol boxes are preparing for launch in the near future – and only one of them might be said to have the Emperor’s best interests at heart… Both the Allarus Custodians and Custodian Guards do splendidly in range and melee combat. Allarus Custodians have the privilege of Teleport Homer, meaning they can be redeployed elsewhere on the board 9″ away from enemy units. As we’ve covered in previous Boarding Patrol articles, any unit that can disappear and reappear somewhere else is extremely useful and will want to be used very strategically – imagine squatting some beefy Custodians on unclaimed objectives, giving your opponent thought for pause before they consider taking it for themselves.

When you select a PSYKER unit to manifest psychic powers, you select one psychic power that unit knows and attempt to manifest it. With the exception of Smite, you cannot attempt to manifest the same psychic power more than once in the same battle round, even with different PSYKER units. The same PSYKER unit cannot attempt to manifest Smite more than once during the same battle round. This Boarding Patrol box offers decent savings averaging 37% – except for the Aussies, who get a big boost in savings at 42%, which is a nice switcharoo considering previous Boarding Patrol boxes often offered lower savings for those in the Land Down Under. You are almost getting quite a chunk of the box for free, individual values considered. Boarding Patrol: Leagues of Votann – ContentsKey changes have also been made to the Boarding Actions Mustering Rules , as the Battlefield Roles that previously determined which units you could recruit no longer exist. Instead, each faction now has a simple list that details exactly which units they can select from their free Index, and how many, together with any rules adaptations that apply.
