Warhammer 40K: 3 New Boarding Patrol Boxes Announced
The Necrons, Tyranids, and Grey Knights are on deck for the next batch of Boarding Patrol Boxes from Games Workshop.
Games Workshop is bringing a new batch of Boarding Patrol boxes to 40k. This time around it’s two Xenos armies and the Grey Knights on deck.
“The Grey Knights, Necrons, and Tyranids have all mustered Boarding Patrol boxes to join the fun, three swift and adaptable forces ready for decisive action in the darkness of space. With the Mustering Rules available as a free download, you can build your box and get boarding right away!”
Necron Boarding Patrol Box
Contents:
- 10x Necron Warriors
- 10x Lychguard
- 3x Ophydian Destroyers w/ Canoptek Plasmacyte
This box might come across as a little odd but don’t forget that you can use the special mustering rules. That includes the actual Boarding Patrol Detachment:
And also, with that many bodies swarming the corridors this one might be more effective than you think!
Tyranid Boarding Patrol
Contents:
- 6x Tyranid Warriors
- 8x Genestealers
- Broodlord
Okay, this one seems pretty scary. You’ve got the Tyranid Warriors who have that wide base and can really mess with Line of Sight in the Arks of Omen. You’ve got the iconic Genestealers who are tailor made for creeping around Space Hulks and are very effective up close. And you’ve got a Broodlording leading the pack. Yeah…this one seems pretty solid to me!
Grey Knights Boarding Patrol
Contents:
- Castellan Crowe
- 5x Grey Knight Terminators
- 10x Grey Knight (Interceptors/Purifiers/Strike Squad/Purgiation Squad)
Another impressively constructed Boarding Patrol Detachment here. All of them are Space Marines and pack quite the punch in both shooting and close-combat departments. Considering they won’t have to deal with a ton of armor and bring quite a bit of beef with them this is another box that could be really good from the start.
All three of these boxes are coming soon from Games Workshop. Slot them in to your existing armies or start a new Boarding Patrol!
