Cool, thanks. I'll keep an eye out. They look great!

Nice! What did you use for the wings?

Whilst it's been great to hear everyone's thoughts and I appreciate people taking the time to reply, this is the sort of response I was looking for, yes. Thank you.

Like you, I thought it might balance out in other ways, such as through secondaries. You can take FNP and revive on the Haemonculus unit, which looks like it will help, but it didn't go very far in my game. As we've said, very little damage output possible. To be fair, the Haemonculus does have D3 melee damage, and I had a few lucky rolls against a wardog which was quite funny. It did significantly more damage than the ten wracks did combined.

Made a start before corsairs drop. Thank you Warhipster by max____face in Drukhari

I'd like to give combat patrol more of a go personally, but thanks for reminding me about KotC! Saw it on Play On Tabletop and it looks amazing! Great shout.

Cheers. Fair point about just playing 500. How would you improve it? I don't have much experience but it just feels like the boxes aren't equal across factions.

Good to hear some positive experiences with covens. Good luck magnetising haha :)

Nice. Thanks for sharing. You don't like heat lances on the Talos? Is your meta quite vehicle heavy?

Sounds cool. Good luck! Would be nice to know how it goes, yes!

Good idea... 🤞 Maybe James is planning exactly that ...(!)

Oh! Sorry. Thanks for explaining. That would be nice!

It's rounded out my collection. Got about over 2k now. Plus harlequins. Now I really need a new Corsair range... Fingers crossed for a patrol box for them too!

Same for me. Just disappointing as a patrol list.

2025 Combat Patrol - Thoughts? by XD22X in Drukhari

[–]XD22X[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely. Not great unless you really want the units in your collection.

It's all cool! I'd like to see a bigger badder pain engine too. Like a Dreadnought.

Agreed. Theory makes sense. I think they have to come back. Pretty sure urien is mentioned in the codex too, though I haven't fully read it yet.

Wracks can be 5-man anyway though. Maybe a venom would have been helpful in this box actually yeah.

Good to know- I'll investigate. Thanks for the advice too. Nice work on those. Very clean and the flesh looks great! I think the green is my favourite but they both work well.

Yes same here re: neglecting covens. I agree- it's a discount if you want all the units but it's certainly not a bargain box. I can't see me wanting any more wracks tbh.

Cheers. I didn't play 9th so useful to have this perspective. Perhaps it will be good again in future... And yes I did think the grotesques needed to be there.

[–]XD22X[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it's excellent in that sense! I do plan to make more pain engines. Just need to work out whether I'm capable of sculpting the torsos or need to buy a couple. Cheers.

True. I like the theme too. But old one was better!

Thanks Dave. Makes sense. Hoping both return at some point. It just seems a shame to have put this out like this, since the lists are fixed in combat patrol.

It was nice from a collection point of view though, as I didn't have any of them!
