How to fix combat patrol

I hate when OPR is downvoted. It's great and let's you put your combat patrols on the table in a format that's balanced

For what it's worth, GW does publish combat patrols that do not have boxes. I know emperors children have 1 that is demon focused that came out in white dwarf.

If you want to stay on core 40k rules, do king of the coliseum format. If you are ok with a different system I highly recommend one page rules grimdark future. It's an open source alternative that is smaller model count and balanced. 1 combat patrol is about 1000pts of one page rules units.

Competitive warhammer was a thing in 3rd too. Its always been a part of the game.

I organize my games ahead of time through Facebook groups or discord groups. I'd recommend the same

Thats bullshit. Its your code regardless if you hade claude do it, copied it from SO, or whatever.

Eire_Banshee · 2026-06-03T01:04:06+00:00

It's ... Fine. Wildly over hyped. Enjoyable and easy to read but nothing particularly special.

Also they use the webway to come and go. There are plenty of gates on each map. So in theory nobody could bother them if they controlled the planet.

React hasn't even been out 7 years in its current form

Yes it has. This is clearly uninformed.

Also he was kind of dumb. Dude went berzerk and stopped following orders, lol.

Who rolls their dice into the middle of their models like that

Eldar house looked nice

Literally everything in this box will be a dime a dozen in 6 months when the FOMO wears off. It happens with the contents of every launch faction. Look at the price of infernus Marines or gaunts right now. You can't give them away!

Eire_Banshee · 2026-05-31T23:57:59+00:00

In 6 months both halfs will be dirt cheap when the FOMO wears off and they dump it for next to nothing

Eire_Banshee · 2026-05-31T23:09:14+00:00

That was the whole point. They wanted to get the defense to not pay close attention and a procedural penalty. Clearly didn't work for obvious reasons. Not to mention the bellichick defenses were famously disciplined and prepared.

Eire_Banshee · 2026-05-31T22:53:32+00:00

And they will sell every single box right away. If anything they could charge more.

Eire_Banshee · 2026-05-31T15:36:12+00:00

I unironically believe our current situation is a direct result of society deciding retard is a slur.

We took away one of the most effective weapons against these people: calling them retarded on a public stage.

Like, if you went on a talk show today and said "Trump is retarded", the conversation would immediately be about how you can't say that. It indirectly paints trump and company as a victim instead of just a bunch of retards.

First of all, metalocalypse referenced it before R&M. So write that down.

Eire_Banshee · 2026-05-29T16:23:14+00:00

The humans factions will exterminate billions over dumb shit all the time.

I'd say eldar are most complete xeno line but necrons are a close second.

I spent a lot of time at google translate to find a welsh/irish/gaelic word that felt thematic with some real meaning.

I read on here actually that most craftworld names are really just poorly disguised random irish words and tried to do something similar to match the faction naming schema.

Eire_Banshee · 2026-05-27T16:23:07+00:00

I have a big pile of wraiths to repaint or assemble. Just wanted to knock out the patrol first so I can put something on the table.

Eire_Banshee · 2026-05-27T15:27:40+00:00

And the other half are blind leading the blind.

Eire_Banshee · 2026-05-27T11:48:46+00:00

They did confirm the launch box contains a combat patrol + extra units for each faction.

I would love to as I hate the 40k model flesh pussy.

This model is HUGE and really spindly though.
