Here are the minatures and value inside the new Genestealer Cults and Adeptus Custodes Combat Patrol boxes for Warhammer 40k!
Remember, these boxes are mostly designed for new players, just like the 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 play some small games right away.
Most times, the starter-style kits are a pretty good value, so even if you have some Custodes or GSC already, these could be a decent value.
These boxes finally hit shelves, so let’s check out what kind of value they have!
Adeptus Custodes Combat Patrol: What is the Value?
Following on from the events of Shadow Throne, the perfidious Genestealer Cultists and the Talons of the Emperor are mustering Combat Patrols to continue their respective missions across the Imperium. You’ll be able to prepare for these campaigns with Codex: Adeptus Custodes and Codex: Genestealer Cults, which are both packed full of thematic rules like devastating crossfire, and peerless battle stances.
If you’re in need of the Sisters models, this box is a good buy, but if not, it may be a pass. Let’s check out what this will save you:
- 10x Sisters of Silence: $110
- Shield-Captain on Dawneagle Jetbike: $60
- Vexilus Praetors: $60
Total MSRP: $230
Savings Versus $150 Box Price: $80
Is The Adeptus Custodes Combat Patrol Worth It?
This doesn’t have the highest value we’ve seen, but pretty close to a lot of the boxes and still decent for the price. However, with such a strong focus on the Sisters of Silence, this isn’t really for you if you don’t want them.
If you need the models inside, it saves you a decent amount of cash and will get you a lot of minis for fairly cheap.
