Warhammer 40K: Combat Patrol – Blood Angels Pricing Breakdown
The Blood Angels are getting a new Combat Patrol. But is it worth the price of admission? Let’s break this box down and find out!
In case you didn’t know the Blood Angels are getting a new Combat Patrol loaded up with some new and old units. It’s a close combat focused force and it should slot in nicely with anyone’s existing Blood Angels army thanks to the units contained. But what sort of a deal are we getting with this one? We’re going to do some quick math to find out.
Blood Angels Combat Patrol
Contents
6x Sanguinary Guard $120
10x Assault Intercessors $62.50
Blood Angels Upgrades and Transfer sheet $35*
Total Individual MSRP: $259.50*
*Okay, so here’s where things get a little bit more interesting. We know the new Combat Patrols are going for $168. But what we aren’t 100% sure of is the price of the Blood Angels Upgrades and Transfer sheet. GW says it’s “two sets of Blood Angels upgrades and a transfer sheet of 540 individual decals.” The confusion is the new upgrade set that is linked costs $35 and comes with a Transfer sheet that has 225 decals. So if you were just getting two of those sets then it should actually be priced at $70. However, the decal sheet is either a different sheet altogether or …maybe someone got the numbers backwards? 225+225 = 450. Perhaps someone just fat fingered the numbers and typed 540 instead.
That’s a long way to say that if it IS two sets of the brand new upgrades then is should actually be $70 instead.
For now, we’re just going to lowball this one and leave it at $35 and do the math from there.
Total Savings $259.50 – $168 = $91.50
Considering you’re essentially getting the Assault Intercessors and the decals for the cost of TWO units of Sanguinary Guard and a new Captain…that seems like a pretty good deal.
Now, is this box worth getting two copies of? I think if you’re brand new to Blood Angels and you want to go all in with Sanguinary Guard then I could see making a case for this one. But if you’re a veteran and already have a Blood Angels army you might only want to snag one copy. Shoot, I’m thinking about it myself! I’m pretty sure I could find a use for all the models included in this Combat Patrol — beyond just playing Combat Patrol that is.
What do you think of the new Blood Angels Combat Patrol?
