That will give you a bit of wiggle room for wargear (although not by much — we’re talking 50 points). But what I’m also saying is, I can’t just make more Phobos-armoured legs and torsos appear out of nowhere. The Black Legion are the most feared of all these Traitor Legions, guided as they are by the dark will of Warmaster Abaddon himself.

Something about mitigating the poorer mobility of Gravis armour by training troops to coordinate boarding shields.

If you’ve been living away from the bullhorn, Boarding Actions are the small-format 40K ruleset from Arks of Omen focusing on infantry and close-quarters combat. Near Mint condition cards show minimal or no wear from play or handling and will have an unmarked surface, crisp corners, and otherwise pristine edges outside of minimal handling. With two new Board Patrol Boxed sets and a new Battleforce on the way we need to know how many points each is packing. How would your girls mix and match dreadnought parts with Armiger knights, or integrate literally anything into an Ork army? 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.

I’ve omitted the word Winter from the challenge’s name because I reside in the Southern Hemisphere and I’m writing this in a record heatwave. This box can be used to assemble a variety of units the recommended build for Boarding Action games is Abaddon the Despoiler, five Legionaries, and two Cultist Mobs of ten models each.

And to get you jump started GW is launching a few new products that will make it super easy to put one together. Balefleets are the cohorts raised by Abaddon and Vashtorr, tasked with collecting the artefacts needed to complete their meticulous plan. This complete boxed set for the Chaos Space Marines includes everything you need to assemble an elite fighting force, perfectly suited to these small format encounters. Maybe as a “final boss” sort of fight where you play on a double sized map with 1000 points per side?

The Balefleet Battleforce is a contingent of corrupted warriors comprised of 10 Possessed , five Chaos Space Marine Terminators , and a Heldrake , all led by an infernal Daemon Prince. I’d grab the Boarding Patrol box for the Chaos Space Marines and tact in those 630 points right off the bat. These fervent followers add to the thematic chaos, showcasing the legion’s ability to overwhelm their enemies through sheer numbers and zeal. Our mission is to guide new players in the first steps of their tabletop journey in the grim, dark future.

Whether you're a seasoned player or a beginner, this set is a great addition to any Warhammer 40k collection. Abaddon spearheads elements of his current campaign in person, and so the Chaos Space Marine Boarding Patrol includes the Despoiler himself , 10 Chaos Space Marine Legionaries , and 20 Cultists for you to cherry-pick your own patrol from. I jest, but space marines done slightly differently are both the most milquetoast version of your guys, and the most time honored one. 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.
