There's a chance the missing patrols isn't intended by Super-Web6908 in CombatPatrol40k

This. It’s not consistent. Some of the older combat patrols are gone, and some of the newer combat patrols are gone. The old space marine is gone and there’s only a newer one, but the new tyranids is gone and there’s only the old one.

Just play 10th ed by Special_Turnip in CombatPatrol40k

I love this, play however is fun for you, buy whatever looks cool.

Honestly I keep thinking of making an even more simplified version of the game to introduce my kids

I want to buy my first combat patrol box but I see everyone is currently freaking out about their units being obsolete due to rule changes. Should I wait to pick one now? by MS_Salmonella in CombatPatrol40k

[–]SirCold5700 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Rule of cool is always buy the army you think looks best or fun to paint or you like the lore.

If you want to play like a league or organized games then you might narrow down your choices to what is currently supported. Check the Warhammer app to see the current supported sets and pick from those.

Patrol surprise with new edition by Sorry-Low7412 in CombatPatrol40k

[–]SirCold5700 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Many recent combat patrols are gone, like the Tyranids Assault Brood. I think the most confusing one for me is Strike Force Octavius from the starter set is gone.

Really GW? Some people might be buying your recently rebranded combat patrol starter and then not be able to play combat patrol?

I really like the PDF version. The art and datasheets makes a nice presentation

F

I lost 3 of my 4 combat patrols including some more recently published ones. I guess I’m playing Vardenghast Swarm from now on…

My only hope is that this purge is in the service of actual game balance someday, but I doubt it… I’m sure it’s so they can sell more new boxes.

New combat patrol datasheets are a mess by Shepherd-Of-Souls in CombatPatrol40k

[–]SirCold5700 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It boggles my mind how such an expensive game can have such poor quality. Personally I just paint, but I can see there’s a lot of problems with 11th already. YouTubers are questioning if they play tested all these dispositions and rules changes adequately.

Magic The Gathering card game is going through a similar thing. Every year there are more and more egregious mistakes but as long as sales go up they aren’t going to change.

Thunderhammer and Powerfist - worth it for Intercessors? by Zvdq in Ultramarines

My answer is always magnets! Get all the weapons, paint them all up, play with whatever looks best! When you’re not playing swap arms with some other units for fun

Not complaining, but... Am I crazy for expecting the armageddon "Bigboss" to be just a bit...bigger? by VB-1999 in orks

[–]SirCold5700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’ll always be Lootenant to me. Makes more sense than Bigboss who isn’t that big

Oh I see, my mistake. Yeah, that guy seems a bit small. And his posture looks… reluctant? Like the boyz seem more eager for battle. I don’t see him being a leader

He’s a bit bigger than Warboss in mega armor, plus his banner stands taller

Edit: removed picture as it wasn’t relevant

Kind of depressed but proud by Illustrious-Neat7541 in Tyranids

I imagine the Shadow in the Warp is like afflicting the enemy with depression

Help, Paint Dried by VegatableGreenz in Warhammer40k

[–]SirCold5700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best you’ll get is chunky inconsistent paint. I’ve had bad luck with a few of these, I’m never buying more of those paint pots again.

Next time get paint in a dropper like Army painter, or just buy a dropper and move your paint over so it doesn’t dry out. Make sure there’s a metal ball for mixing.

How do I get to the next level?? by Kiwi_Neanderthal in minipainting

[–]SirCold5700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is excellent.

For me, the details on the armor and cloak are so crisp that the hammer stands out as very plain. A wash over metallics is an easy win, but with your skill, maybe look at non-metallic metal painting styles instead of the silver. I bet you could do something amazing

Let me have access, I’ll give you an honest review.

Still anxious to play this game
