If you loved Deathwatch, boy does Games Workshop have a treat for you this summer! Come see the new 40k board game that is on the way!
The new 40k Board Game is called The Lost Patrol and it’s headed our way this summer. Gaming Distributors in the United States are reporting the following:
GWLP-60 Lost Patrol (English) $60.00
Set in the dark far future, Lost Patrol is a dynamic two-player board game with a difference. A squad of elite Space Marine Scouts must battle their way through ever-changing jungle paths to a crashed vessel, hunted at every terrifying step by fearsome alien Genestealers.
Featuring stunning miniatures and ingenious gameplay in which the board itself evolves, it’s an utterly compelling and action-packed experience. Will any of the Imperium’s crack troops live to tell the tale? Only you can decide…
Miniatures are supplied unpainted and assembly may be required.
- 2 players
- Ages 12+
- 30+ minute play time
Contains:
- 5 Space Marine Scouts
- 12 Genestealers
- 6 Infestations
- 30 Map tiles
- 3 Dice
- 1 Game rules
You may recognize the title from 2000 as it is a remake of the 40k classic designed by Jake Thornton of Mantic fame. Hopefully this is the beginning of a ramp up of products from the Specialist side of things, as board games are hot right now! Plus there is nothing that sells better for some hobbyists than a board game that comes with Minis to boot!
