    Combat patrols these days are more about balancing the 40K into game Combat Patrol than the actually selling introductions to a faction

      The manager at my local GW store flat told me that. Paraphrasing: “combat patrols aren’t supposed to be used to start an army, they’re supposed to be used to play the combat patrol game. They should have useful units to add to an existing army but getting new players into the faction? that’s what Battleforces are supposed to be for.”

Everyone I've seen get into it with 10th just goes straight into a lower points cost regular 40k game. And now they're looking to try to push Combat Patrol into AoS...so I can't imagine they're very happy about it either.

    My initial thoughts is that it isn't fantastic for a new player, significantly worse than the previous one, *but* it's pretty great for existing buyers of the previous combat patrol/battleforce to round out their collection.

      I think it's fine for a new player, though it is a bit skewed, like the Ork Beast Snagga patrol. They're both good, it's just also they're both one specific aspect of the army rather than a varied starter platter.

    • @Grooviebones
      @Grooviebones 6 месяцев назад

      I assume GW does factor in the previous boxes of the faction to determine new ones, y'know, just to make sure they aren't too samey.
      However, it is also GW, so I assume malicious cost saving measures on their part before I assume they are being considerate of long-term fans of a faction.
      I assume they aren't trying to round out peoples collections, they just needed different units from the previous patrol and wanted to put less value in it, which coincidentally rounds out the previous patrol.

    As a new player to GSC, I think these boxes are great. I bought 2 of the last patrol boxsets and some genestealers, 1 squad of bikes. So this expands my army in different ways, more genestealers and aberrants to go that way, more trucks and bikes for mechanized list if it works out, more metamorphs or hybrids, more Neophytes if I need to, and ridgerunners. Saying that, I can see how some people who have been playing them longer may not enjoy the boxsets. You'll probably never have a better patrol boxset like last one, I do like how it's different options, so you have a chance to expand for cheaper. .....if you bought the old boxset of course.

    Hachette's Combat Patrol Magazine has me worried at the moment. Between the test run and the actual product there were changes to at least Imperium and Stormbringer, small changes but changes.
    At least I hope that it really includes the old CPs and that the old ones weren't just a placeholder for the new ones. Because of those included, only the Space Marines and Tyranid CPs were already known in the new variant.
    For me: if old CPs, then hopefully a publication here in Germany (like Conquest, Imperium and Stormbringer - Mortal Realms was not published here) and then I have 2 subscriptions. If there is also the announced Premium content, then both subscriptions will also become Premium.

  • @demon1103
    @demon1103 6 месяцев назад

    Honestly all they needed to do for these CP was to just add in one extra unit to make up for what's being taken out (Sisters for example lost both a Rhino+PE without anything taking their place).
    As for anyone who'd bring up balance for the CP game mode, take a look at the Custodes box and their rules. Custodes are only able to use 40-50% of their box in CP mode, this means GW could give great value in the boxes, and then adjust the rules/ limit units in the game mode to balance.....but that doesn't maximize profit.
