Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - BOARDING PATROL: Agents Of The Imperium

Product Information

Games Workshop continues to give the people what they want – more miniatures, more content, and more Boarding Patrol Boxes. The immediate difference between the Boarding Patrol and other Warhammer 40,000 Detachments is that nothing is compulsory,” Rich explains. “It’s perfectly viable to take no Troops or HQs whatsoever, allowing lists to lean into clear concepts like an all- Navy Breacher force, or take nothing but Khorne Berzerkers – the gentleman’s choice.” It’s nice to see the Agents of the Imperium actually getting another box, and it has a ton of models inside! Then, it only makes sense Votann grabs a box as well. Leagues of Votann Boarding Patrol

The Corsair Voidscarred bring all the toys from their Kill Team set, taking up the lion’s share of the points but punching far above their weight with psychic powers, blasters, fusion pistols, and a shuriken cannon. The Voidreavers deploy light with a pistol and power sword each, but have the option of switching to long-ranged shuriken rifles should you be raiding an area with plenty of fighty foes like Tyranids and Orks. There’s much profit to be found in the esoteric salvage secreted aboard these rotting void-barges – and you can acquire it for the glory of your own Hold with five cybernetically-enhanced Cthonian Beserks, five diamond-hard Einhyr Hearthguard, and 10 geared-up Hearthkyn Warriors, all led by a proud Einhyr Champion. If the Devastator Doctrine was active for your army during the previous battle round, you can change it so that the Tactical Doctrine is now active.

If you missed it, we’ll look at the latest pricing and values of the new Warhammer 40k box sets in separate posts below:

Hearthkyn Warriors – sturdy, specialized Kin soldiers clad in enclosed void armor. They have access to a wide variety of weapons and war gear, making them extremely versatile in combat.When you select a PSYKER unit to manifest psychic powers, you select one psychic power that unit knows and attempt to manifest it. With the exception of Smite, you cannot attempt to manifest the same psychic power more than once in the same battle round, even with different PSYKER units. The same PSYKER unit cannot attempt to manifest Smite more than once during the same battle round. You can include an OFFICIO ASSASSINORUM model, regardless of how many other CHARACTER models your Boarding Patrol contains, but it cannot be your WARLORD. When you deploy an INQUISITION unit (excluding DAEMONHOST units) in an Entry Zone, you can deploy a friendly JOKAERO WEAPONSMITH unit in that Entry Zone as well.

Imperial Navy Breachers – the elite fighting troops of the Imperium, specialized in boarding actions and space combat. They are extremely versatile, expertly trained, and have access to a variety of weapons, suitable both for close-quarters and range combat.An Eversor Assassin – a true embodiment of fury and death, this assassin does not use stealth and precision, but sheer psychotic fury and unbridled destruction. Only death can stop him from fulfilling his mission. One or more units from your army can start to perform this action at the end of the Move Units step of your Movement phase if they are within 1" of a Hatchway. This action can be performed by any unit that is not within Engagement Range of any enemy models, even if that unit is being affected by a rule that would normally prevent it from performing actions. The action is completed at the end of your Movement phase if no enemy models are within 1" of that Hatchway. If there are any enemy models within 1" of that Hatchway, your opponent can attempt to prevent the action from being completed. If they do so, roll off with your opponent; each player adds the Strength characteristic of one of their models that is within 1" of that Hatchway to their respective scores. If you win, the action is completed; otherwise, the action fails. If completed, that Hatchway opens (if it was closed) or closes (if it was open). The Imperium’s most secretive operatives sometimes embed themselves into other forces to pursue their shadowy agendas, acting independently as AGENTS OF THE IMPERIUM . These Inquisitors, assassins, and auxiliaries have been left out of the Arks of Omen season so far, but that’s set to change. Einhyr Hearthguard – elite Kin equipped with the finest armor and weapons available. They are both the unstoppable force and the immovable object of the Leagues of Votann.

Some rules allow you to re-roll a dice roll, which means you get to roll some or all of the dice again. If a rule allows you to re-roll a dice roll that was made by adding several dice together (2D6, 3D6 etc.) then, unless otherwise stated, you must re-roll all of those dice again. If a rule allows you to re-roll specific dice results, only those dice can be re-rolled. If a rule allows you to re-roll a specific dice result, but the result is obtained by halving a D6 (such as when rolling a D3), you use the value of the halved roll to determine if it can be re-rolled, not the value of the original D6. For example, if a rule states to re-roll results of 1, and you roll a D3, you would re-roll if the D6 rolled a 1 or a 2 (which is then halved to get a D3 value of a 1). Halflings don’t make natural Blood Bowl players, but with enough gumption and a good lunch even the shortest soul can rise to league stardom. Take Cindy Piewhistle for example – once a master baker, now a Star Player who weaponises her delicious wares, while Puggy Baconbreath is an elite athlete by usual halfling standards, with the skill and discipline of a champion twice his size. When mustering your Boarding Patrol, select one of the following: ACOLYTE units; NAVIS IMPERIALIS Troops units; ADEPTUS ARBITES Troops units. The selected units from your army gain the Objective Secured ability. Over at Warhammer Community, our coverage of the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 continues with the reveal of a brand new Tyranid unit and close examinations of how characters and weapons work in the new system.If the Tactical Doctrine was active for your army during the previous battle round, you can change it so that the Assault Doctrine is now active.
