Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Combat Patrol: Aeldari

Product Information

Does battling with a mix of powerful psykers, lightning-fast warriors, and esoteric wargear sound like your favoured way of waging war? Although this particular roster is not as highly competitive as others you might build with access to the full range of models, the Combat Patrol box set is by far the most cost-effective way to get into Craftworlds, and its contents are more than sufficient for midrange competitive play.

Bladestorm means that all those 6’s to hit you roll generate an additional hit – before you ask, you still have to make wound rolls for these hits they don’t auto wound under the Hail of Doom attribute. Since we are leaning into that Saim-Hann theme it would be appropriate to snag another Combat Patrol box. The ranks of the Drukhari are filled with fleet and agile warriors, each armed with weaponry designed to inflict maximum pain and, through their innate poise, they raise their torturous form of war into a gruesome artform.

I rolled succesfully for my reserves, and the Ravenwing bikers turned up right behind the jetbikes, but failed to do any damage with their bolters. What are you going to do about 10 Genestealers or some terminators with axes the size of a Volkswagen Beatle? In 9th edition, 500pt play presents many of the same tactical considerations as 2000pt play but with a much faster pace. It comes armed with a Bright Lance for a little extra punch and it’s standard twin Shuriken Catapults. In this strategy guide, I am going to run you through the general tactical differences between 500pt and 2000pt games, how to think about list-building at the 500 point level, and then provide a single sample list drawn exclusively from the models in the “Combat Patrol’ box.

This combined with its Ghostglaive (Crushing Strike) means it’s very good as a vehicle hunter should you need it. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. You might have to count on doing some damage to the opposing force before making a big play for objective control.

The killy secondaries tend not to be great options in low point value games simply because there aren’t enough models on the table for them to score well even if you table your opponent. With such a small board and objective-driven victory conditions, even very slow units have no trouble getting into the fray turn 2. Silly me, they’re virtually non existent as they’ll be saving on 6’s, and that’s only thanks to their Armour of Contempt rule. matches are over so fast that once you get the hang of 40k you can play three in an evening, so knowing you have blown one of the them with a single stupid move doesn't matter.
