Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Combat Patrol: Genestealer Cults

Product Information

Fanatical Devotion- For a CP, a CORE unit can Heroically Intervene 6”, but only against one enemy unit that is within Engagement Range of a PATRIARCH , MAGUS , or PRIMUS , and only if they don’t get in Engagement Range of any other enemy units when they finish the move. There’s obviously a number of restrictions here, and whilst it can be useful to add in a big unit of ACOLYTES into a melee, oftentimes you won’t find yourself able to use this much, precisely due to the limitations. Good to have, but not something that will see much use outside of niche scenarios. Genetic Lineage- Let’s an ACOLYTE or METAMORPH unit charge even if they Advanced this turn. Great at 1CP for the extra burst of speed granted, and the neat thing with this is it’s used in the Charge phase, meaning you can either go in knowing you’ll need it, or can simply use it for redundancy if the Psychic Stimulus power fails to cast. Deep Supplies- Reroll a Wound roll each time they Shoot or Fight, much like Bladed Cog. Reliable and will add up over the course of the game, be sure to prioritize heavier weapons so as not to inadvertently waste the reroll. In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising.

Warhammer 40K: Genestealer Cult Combat Patrol Next Steps

This versatile box provides bodies, ballistics, and big-hitters for you to join the eternal quest to uncover archeotech and fragments of holy STC from the ancient Arks of Omen.

Finally, the Death Guard heed Abaddon’s call, with an obdurate if slimy Boarding Patrol led by a Lord of Virulence. He’s joined by a bodyguard of three Deathshroud Terminators, as well as 10 versatile Plague Marines – three of which are taken from the much-sought-after Plague Marine Reinforcements set.

Agile Guerillas- As swift as the desert wind Rusted Claw, counting as Remaining Stationary for Shooting even after Moving or Advancing. Great for an army looking to leverage mobile arms, set up Crossfire or just have more maneuverability. Cannot be taken with Martial below. Amulet of the Voidwyrm- Grants a 4++, enemies can’t Overwatch or Set to Defend against the bearer, and once per game they can automatically make a Save on a 6 (before rolling). A good spread of benefits, though realistically one of them will often be wasted on most Characters. As such, consider the two parts you’ll want most on a Character and go from there. Raking Fire- An ATALAN or RIDGERUNNER unit that targets a unit with both a Crossfire marker and is also Exposed, gets to reroll their Hits. The unit has to actually be Exposed by the main rule (ie with another unit the other side of them), not via any other rules such as Dig Them Out above. Either way this is a great enhancement to their reliability, letting these units lay down some significant anti infantry and anti tank firepower in some cases for only 1 CP. Whilst there are some caveats, they aren’t too major as you should be looking to benefit from Crossfire for these units already. Chaos Daemons have – appropriately, given the arrival of Angron – manifested as a huffing and slavering crash of Khornate nightmares. 10 Bloodletters and 10 Flesh Hounds are led by Khorne’s favourite hunter – Karanak, the Hound of Vengeance. In the cramped confines of a space hulk, these frenzied killers will close the distance between enemy guns with warp-flushed speed and savagery.

Booby Trap- For 1CP A CORE unit or a SABOTEUR can plant a landmine on an Objective you control at the end of your turn, causing the next non- AIRCRAFT enemy unit to come within range of it to take D3 Mortal Wounds on a 2+, or flat 3 on a 5+. Fun and can be useful as a last ditch attempt to deny an objective to an encroaching enemy unit, though not to be relied upon, and fairly easy for the foe to counter by sending in chaff or a tank first to absorb the hits. Each Objective can only be bombed once, so timing is key. Fun, but not something to consider often. Hand of Aberrance- A PRIMUS upgrades his Toxin Claw with an extra AP and a whopping +2 Damage. Whilst as useful vs VEHICLES and TITANICS as it’s normal version (ie not at all), this makes the humble Primus capable of punching out things many times its size and power should you get the jump, though bear in mind that anything that survives your Falcon Poison Punch will probably kill you in return.

Getting another Combat Patrol box is a must to fill awkward model counts (Arco-Flagellants and Repentia) This Warhammer 40k Combat Patrol box includes a firm foundation of units from which to build your force, namely: Overloaded Fuel Cells- A unit’s Industrial Weapons become mini-plasma, granting either +1 Dmg for Ranged Weapons, or +1 Str for Melee, at the cost of suffering 1 Mortal Wound for each 1 to Hit. The Ranged boost is much stronger than the melee one and so use of this should be concentrated there, though the Str boost can be useful depending on the unit (Twisted Helix Aberrants hitting at Str 10 vs T5 units, for example). The Mortal Wounds can be passed off to other members of the unit, not just the wielder of the Industrial Weapon, so feel free to sacrifice some Autoguns for that tasty +1 Dmg on some Mining Lasers. The crisis deepens – Angron is loose , Vashtorr is scheming , and Abaddon’s Arks of Omen are voyaging to every corner of the galaxy in search of who knows what. The Imperium is scrambling to regain the upper hand, dispatching boarding parties in a last-ditch attempt to stop the Warmaster’s vile plans.One with the Shadows- An INFANTRY unit gets +1 to their Save if benefiting from Cover when shot at, lasting until the end of the Shooting Phase. Suddenly bumping your basic cheap infantry up to a 3+ Save when in Light Cover can be a pretty significant survivability boost for a key unit, especially for Four-Armed Cults who get Cover innately over 12” (as the Stratagem says receiving the benefits of cover, not receiving the benefits of cover from Terrain). Cheap at 1CP to keep a unit around longer against small arms fire. We got so excited about Combat Patrol that we couldn’t help but come up with a few army lists, all coming in at around a Power Level of 25. We’re starting with a couple that you can make with the models in the new Indomitus boxed set . Indomitus Necrons The Unwilling Orb- A PSYKER gets to Deny an additional Power, Deny anywhere on the board, and +1 to Witchfire and Malediction Powers. The +1 is a powerful boost in itself, with your Maledictions being strong already, and the bonus to Witchfires being helpful on the side if you have any of those powers. The Deny boosts are of course more niche, but can be great to help deal with vital Psychic powers that are cast just out of normal range, giving you at least a chance to shut them down. Alongside these, the Space Marine Boarding Patrol that’s out now, and the three further sets recently announced for the Necrons, Tyranids, and Grey Knights, there are even more boxes to come for other factions in the 41st Millennium. The core of the new box (as with all T’au Empire armies) is a Fire Warriors Strike Team – ten troops to lay down withering storms of pulse fire while they claim objectives. Leading them into battle is a Cadre Fireblade, an expert commander with years of battlefield experience. For those occasions where you need a little sneakiness, the Combat Patrol box features three Stealth Battlesuits, and for when you just need raw firepower, there’s a Ghostkeel Battlesuit. Finally, you also get an Ethereal to provide some spiritual guidance to the army and scoot around dramatically on their hover drone.

Finally, the fourth generation arrive – smooth, hairless creatures who appear almost entirely human and can meld invisibly with the populace, but who still contain alien genetic structures and a dominated will. The offspring of these almost-humans revert to being purestrain Genestealers, and so the cycle begins again. There is a decent number of minis inside, however, without the book out yet, it’s hard to say how good all the units inside will be. Still, it does feel like a descent combat patrol box set for the Tau since you get a lot of models. Again, we expect this to drop with their codex release (fingers crossed). Adeptus Custodes & Genestealer Cults Combat Patrol Box SetsAny of the rules discussed below apply only to GENESTEALER CULTS models with the same Keyword , so no overlapping or crossing of Auras (no HIVECULT Auras or powers affecting RUSTED CLAW units, for example). There are occasional exceptions that will affect all CULT units, these will be called out. Now obviously this is a powerful shooting tool, letting you outperform your otherwise average stats, though you need to position carefully, and focus fire is crucial to both set it up and maximise the benefits, but this adds some potent punch. Return to the Shadows- An INFANTRY unit can, instead of Moving or Consolidating, can be placed into Reinforcements, provided they are more than 3” away from enemy models. Great for moving around the board in following turns for late game Objective or Secondary grabs, or to avoid reprisal after wiping a unit in melee. All round great utility for only a CP, though do note they must arrive over 9” away when returning, not the usual 8” when coming from Underground, so account for that when they return. Genestealers make their way through the galaxy to infiltrate Imperium planets, taking control of the minds and bodies of the populous to create mindless cults… just like the Kardashians.
