Considering every new army so far has received a new Combat Patrol, this rumor is definitely possible. Far more palatable to play against than the current incarnation and much better for a core force IMO. The old box really isn’t very exciting, but we’re not sure how much better the new one will be in terms of savings. On the plus side the Dark Angels look great, rocking dark green armour and cream robes create a distinct look for the chapter.

For flavor, we might sprinkle in a unit of Deathwing and Ravenwing each — but we’re not going to go hard in either direction. Three Inceptors can take to the sky against aerial threats or to jump in and out of battle for some hit and fade tactics. The main attraction of 40k is the miniatures, but there are also many video games, board games, books, ect.Finally, I want to add something that’s going to give us better chance at cracking open armor at range. It makes perfect sense from a GW point of view - keep the HQ out of the unit in combat patrol so you don't have a mini deathstar and have an extra independent piece and then also pushes the person moving on from combat patrol to get a gravis unit to escort the captain and leaves them open to any of the HQs to join the other squads.

This box is off to a strong start with a Primaris Chaplain to lead the patrol, he looks badass, there’s no other way to put it, it’s a fantastic model. Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom. I would have thrown in there 3 Outriders instead of the Hellblasters just to have units from all the wings, but it isn't bad. You’ll also get two Dark Angels Primaris upgrade sprues for the aforementioned adornments and a transfer sheet with many decals to put on your models. Tellingly, they come with a Power Sword Intercessor arm, and a little backpack icon, yet the Intercessor Sergeant has the standard "bolter strapped, pistol out and up, checking my forearm screen" build.Let us know in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group, or our new Discord server, and make sure you enter the latest monthly giveaway for FREE today!

Famous for their intractable gunlines, favoritism towards plasma weapons, and keeping some big secrets, I think we have a theme we can work with here to get to 2000 points. There are some big rumors about new Tau models alongside their upcoming codex and a brand new 40k Dark Angels Combat Patrol box! In this case, you absolutely could have — especially if you wanted to fill out the Inceptors and Intercessors. Now that we’ve added in some flavor to the list we need to go back and fill out some of our core options. Given that they'll likely be sold out 90% of the time, it probably wouldn't be too hard to offload them.The chaplain is the most difficult model in the kit to paint as, not only will you want to do it justice, but he also has lots of trinkets, lucky his armour is black, which is much easier to use when painting over mistakes for a redo. In this series we’re going to revisit the older Combat Patrols, breakdown their points, and talk about where to build from that box.
