The onslaught of heretics continues to pour out into the galaxy this week, as the next tranche of releases for … The real heart of the kit is a brand new set of Ork Boyz, with a familiar but updated look. You get a whopping 20 of them, and as any Warboss will tell you, you can never have too many Boyz, so you’ll be off to a great start.The Deathwatch are a ‘special forces’ chapter of space marines, specialising in killing aliens. Yeah yeah, we know, all the other space marines also spend most of their time doing that, but these guys are, like, really good at it. The two vehicles included in the set make this Combat Patrol perhaps the best deal in the range. Drukhari are a high model count army (which already means higher cash costsin general) and most lists will need at least a couple of the bigger skimmers to transport their squishy, lightly-armoured troops to the frontlines.Getting two in a discounted box is very welcome. Of the 25 miniatures in the Orks Combat Patrol, 24 were brand new on the set’s release, including 20 new Ork Boyz, three Deffkoptas, and a Warboss in mega-armour.

Each Combat Patrol is supposed to be balanced against all the others. That might be hard to believe when looking at the contents of the Adeptus Custodes box set, as the boys in gold are notoriously hard! Arguablyone of the best value propositions among these boxes – in terms of dollars-to-plastic ratio at last – this one is very impressive.GW has used two methods to attempt to balance the boxes against one another. First,although the models in the box set may have many weapon options, there’s a particular loadout you’re supposed to equip your models with.

One cool thing about the Space Wolf box is that its Reivers can also be assembled as the ‘Hounds of Morkai’, a unique Space Wolves variant unit. You also get two upgrade frames with special space-wolfish bits to make sure your space marines look properly viking-y. Once again, this is your first opportunity to secure this kit, which is currently exclusive to Combat Patrol: Orks. Deff From, Uh… Regular Height Brave, honest and true, they only very occasionally indulge in macabre vampiric rituals with goblets of suspiciously viscous red ‘wine’– and it really is only once in a blue moon that one of them slips into an insane, suicidal killing frenzy fuelled by the overwhelming psychic grief imprinted in his DNA. This force is led by a mega-armoured behemoth of a greenskin. Not content with the usual shooty ’fing in one hand and choppy ’fing in the other, he’s opted for ALL choppy, in BOTH hands, happy to let his grot “assistant” ride shotgun, or, er, big shoota in this case.

Combat Patrol contents

Combat Patrol: Orks gives you a respectably sized army right out of the box, perfect for (surprise, surprise) Combat Patrol-sized games. It also makes an excellent start to a Crusade force . And if you already have a collection of Orks, every model here will bolster your burgeoning Waaagh! as it tears across the galaxy. They operate as an ‘elite’ army in Warhammer 40k, meaning they tend to field fewer miniatures than their opponents for the same budget of points, but each model can hope to deal out more punishment to the enemy before it gets blown away. The Deff Dread is the one model in the box that isn’t new, but it’s amazing and you can never have enough of them. Delivering a payload of heavy support in a supremely survivable frame, you can kit your Deff Dread out with a mix of up to four different melee and shooting weapons to suit your needs. The kit is so customisable that you can field a whole mob of them and have each one look like the distinctive kustom-built product of a Mekboy workshop . They’re tough as well with toughness 7, 8 wounds each and a 3+ save, the enemy will need to pour some time and effort into getting rid of these, meaning they’re not shooting at your boyz or meganobz……
