A surprising new 40k Necrons Combat Patrol has finally been released here’s the value and pricing for it!
These are designed for new players to the factions just like the current Start Collecting Sets that GW introduced back in 2016. They are being marketed as a quick way to get a small force on the table and playing some small games right away. Most times the starter-style kits are a pretty good value, so even if you have some minis already, this could be a decent value.
The minis in this aren’t exactly what we thought would show up, but if you need this mix of models it will save you some cash.
Necrons Combat Patrol $140
We thought they would be getting Necrons Indomitus version #52 for a combat patrol as their codex suggested, but it looks like we’re getting something a little bit fresher that contains all these multi-part kits. Nothing wrong with more bits! Let’s look at everything inside:
- 10 Immortals or Deathmarks $76 ($38 ea)
- Night Scythe or Doom Scythe $60
- Tomb Blades $49
- Overlord $28
Total MSRP: $213
Value: $73
This kit is a little underwhelming as it has such a random assortment of minis and doesn’t really help too much if you are just starting the army. But if you were able to get in on Indomitus, that was such a good deal it’s hard to complain.
Still, if you need the minis, it’s basically like getting the Doom Scythe and overlord for free. Overall it’s right around the value point they are trying to hit but doesn’t really come close to the value and units in the recent Drukhari box.
But again, if you need the minis inside, it will save you some of those hard-earned hobby dollars!
Are you going to be picking this box up? Do you like the minis inside?
