Space Marines are among the most elite warriors in the galaxy, clad in indomitable power armour and equipped with the Imperium’s most devastating weaponry. 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. I dislike the rounded, stubby proportions of Gravis armour, and I felt that shields would be a viable alternative in close-confines.

And, according to GW’s own tips, you’re probably going to want some more bodies on the field or some other way to do consistent damage via mortal wounds. I’m picking those up because I always need Primaris bodies and I feel in love with the Heavy Plasma Incinerator backpack attachment. A squad of Veteran Intercessors modelled with boardhing shields is there to give cover and start parties. Boarding Patrol and future boxes will offer a variety of models to build powerful, customized armies. Imagine turning a corner in your warp-infested space hulk and walking straight into a golden giant with death in his eyes – it’s enough to turn an honest, god-fearing heretic pale.

Leading this formidable force is a Captain in Gravis Armour, an imposing figure armed with a boltstorm gauntlet and a choice of brutal melee weapons – perfectly suited for dominating the tight corridors of enemy vessels. It states that, “ Space marine siege mantlets must be modelled appropriately with a large shield of some kind,” and that warms my heart.

You don't get either of the head honchos in this set but you do get ten Possessed, five Chaos Space Marine Terminators, a Heldrake and then a dark and twisted Daemon Prince. Currently wondering whether these should be bumped up to a unit of ten, but the next Heavy Intercessors squad I pick up will form a new unit for the Third Company, and I will think about growing them later on.The Sternguard exist to anchor the force with potent ranged firepower, and the Eradicators are for melting bulkheads and heavy opposition. New and upcoming Boarding Patrol boxes give you a diverse selection of models to form effective and characterful armies. They also don’t spend a lot of time winning, so Ork and Chaos players have to do something with that time and talent. The Adeptus Custodes excel in close quarters, and with three Allarus Custodians, five Custodian Guard, and Trajann Valoris himself packing out their Boarding Patrol, there’s little that will last more than a moment in their sight. Out of the box this collection has a few too many points for a single Boarding Action force, but that just gives you more options to play around with.

Backing them up are 10 Grey Knights – these versatile daemon-hunters can be built as teleporting Interceptors, fiery Purifiers, or skilled Strike Squads.I’d grab the Boarding Patrol box for the Chaos Space Marines and tact in those 630 points right off the bat. For these types of items we have to use a courier service and in this case the cost will vary depending on size and weight etc. Bring the light of the Emperor to the void with Boarding Patrol: Adepta Sororitas, scouring the Arks of Omen with bolt, flame, and melta. If you want an indicator of where I stand next to these grognards, my first starter set was Dark Imperium.

With years of experience, and millions of cards sold we're the highest rated and trusted place for all your TCG supplies. Snikrot has three head options – mask off, mask up, or mask down – and you’ll be able to get him first in the upcoming Boarding Patrol: Orks.At his command advance 10 elite Legionaries, armed with a variety of vicious close-quarters and ranged weapons and capable of splitting into squads of five for prowling claustrophonic corridors. These versatile warriors can be organized into two squads of five, adept at navigating the cramped confines of spacecraft.
