These powerful wraithbone constructs can be configured for ranged or melee combat, plugging gaps in your battleline and hitting the enemy where it hurts most. Honestly, I’d like to run two of them but instead of doing a second I want to bring out one of my favorite units — not because they are broken but because I just like the look: Vypers.

Consider also picking some secondary objectives that will pose a significant challenge for you at the table. But having EXECUTIONER enables your Farseer to pivot into being a powerful target elimination unit in the midgame if something goes wrong and you lose too many models early. Heck, if you wanted to Ulthwéor Iyandenthen you could certainly start from this box but your end result is going to look a lot different. I know 10th edition is coming out soon but I've been really tempted to start eldar, and was wondering if the combat patrol would be a good place to start. If most people are running highly narrative lists with little to no consideration given to what is effective on the table, then don’t be the person who shows up with a sleek 500 points of finally-tuned elven fury.Since we are leaning into that Saim-Hann theme it would be appropriate to snag another Combat Patrol box.

It won’t be long until the next wave is knocking on our door (and the Avatar of Khaine has a very strong knock ), so let us know which craftworld you’re preparing to take on Crusade at the Warhammer 40,000 Facebook page . I also really like “Raise Banners,” as you can probably control two objectives for the majority of the game for an easy 10-12 points. Instead, you might want to threaten all the objectives, or at least three of them so that your opponent needs to divide her resources to meet your challenge.

If your opponent takes the midfield early, you annihilate her board presence with massed shuriken fire. It is our mission to bring you the latest from the miniature wargaming scene, from narrative missions, hobby how-to tutorials, battle reports, unboxings and reviews, retro flashbacks, news, rumors, and more. If you want a list that can play both competitive and casual 40k, start by building a competitive roster and then figure out how you can seriously tone it down by selecting narratively-fun but less-than-optimal custom craftworld traits and psychic powers. Today we’re looking at the Aeldari Combat Patrol box, continuing our series of 1,000 point start armies using the Combat Patrol boxes as our base.Incidentally, those principles of list construction I mentioned above remain the same whether you are building a list for 500pt play or a full on 2k tournament match. You will need to slant your list towards dealing with the armies you are mostly likely to encounter in your local play group. The primary mission was a single objective in the center of the table, which generated Dangerous and Difficult terrain in a radius of 6″ and 12″ around it, respectively. Your Rangers can halt the enemy melee advance, giving you a turn to blast the interlopers or counter punch them with your own melee heavy hitters, like Banshees or Shining Spears. If it were me, I would take the Custom Craftworld traits “Children of Morai-Heg” and “Hunters of Ancient Relics,” because those are clearly what the designers actually had in mind narratively for my Craftworld, (Iybraesil,) and those happen to not be remotely competitive.

It can also be difficult to kite an enemy army on such a small board, but Swooping Hawks and Baharroth can make it work with their insane redeployment options. That was one kill point, Slay the Warlord and First Blood to my enemy, as well as one of my better units gone. This abstract narrative complexity is accounted for with victory points, very few of which are scored directly by destroying enemy units. Although this particular roster is not as highly competitive as others you might build with access to the full range of models, the Combat Patrol box set is by far the most cost-effective way to get into Craftworlds, and its contents are more than sufficient for midrange competitive play.They can also charge enemy tanks to tie them up for a turn while you deal with the rest of the list. It also counts as an assault weapon and should be used instead of Kournous’ Bow when charging into combat with a character as it’ll do more damage to a single unit than the three attacks from the bow. As with all the Warhammer 40k Combat Patrols, the Eldar box will contain a range of units from the faction, with 19 miniatures in total.
