Warhammer 40K Next Week: More Boarding Patrols And Necromunda Automata
With a new book promising more Boarding Patrol action, more Boarding Patrols are on the way, alongside advanced automata for Necromunda.
It seems that there’s still a bit more left in the Arks of Omen cycle. The Lion is returning, but before he gets here (and 10th Edition not long after), there’s more Boarding Patrol action to get to. Which is presumably why GW will be releasing three new Boarding Patrols for pre-order this weekend.
Alongside those, we’ll also get a swath of new releases for Necromunda in their Vaults of Temenos book and associated minis. Let’s take a look!
New Boarding Patrols Coming Next Week
Sororitas lead the charge, with a box full of Battle Sisters ready to board. In this set you’ll get a Canoness, 5 Celestian Sacresants, 10 Sisters Repentia, and 10 Battle Sisters.
They might be fewer in model count, but they’ve got much better saves and wounds than anyone else: it’s the Adeptus Custodes Boarding Patrol. If they get on your ship, it’s pretty bad for everyone but them. You get 3 Allarus Custodians, 5 Custodian Guard, and Trajann Valoris in this beefy Boarding Patrol.
Finally the Thousand Sons are ready to board your ship in search of at least one dad, and Chaos secrets. Because it’s always Chaos secrets with them. You get 2 Chaos Spawn and 20 Rubric Marines (with a pair of psykers) in this set.
Necromunda Gets Robots (But They’re Pronounced Robits) – Automata For Days
Across the Imperium, though, on the world of Necromunda, a succession crisis has been raging. And the narrative continues in The Aranthian Succession: Vaults of Temenos. Following up from Cinderak Burning, the new book introduces rules for the Great Pilgrimage, has upgrades for Cawdor and Palanite Enforcer gangs, and talks more about the goings on.
Leading the way with new minis, the Enforcer ‘Sancitoner’ Pattern Automata are multi-option robots that will help keep things in line as Necromunda’s civil war spills out across the planet.
House Cawdor, on the other hand, gets some new Ridge Walkers, which are capable of a surprising turn of speed when you need it most. Perfect for crossing the Ash Wastes.
Speaking of the Ash Wastes, a set of Ash Waste upgrades comes up for pre-order next week, allowing you to upgrade your Cawdor gangs to be more resilient in the wastes.
Finally, the Ashwood Stranger, a mysterious leader of Outcasts who roams the wastes, moving from hive to hive trying to make sure and do some good.
All this next week!
