Here’s the value breakdown of the two new Warhammer 40k Boarding Patrol boxes for Eldar and Drukhari- check it out!
This is the fourth set or wave of Boarding Patrol box sets we’ve seen so far, and while the Space Marines one sells for $110, we know they will not all go for the same price as the Chaos and Tyranids boxes went for $125.
These are sort of like small Combat Patrol boxes made specifically to be fielded for the new Boarding Actions. So, expect them all to have a lot of foot sloggers.
We’ll check out the value and see if it’s feasible for them to sell for $110 or if GW will price them all separately. Currently, the Tyranids and Chaos one with Abaddon are $125, so it’s possible that these all will be $125 as well in the future too.
However, we’ll look at the value and see what price is more viable.
New Eldar & Drukhari Boarding Patrol Boxes: What’s the Value?
As we said, the Space Marines box has been priced at $110, while the Chaos and GSC ones are $125, but we can’t be sure they will all be the same price as the values for these vary greatly.
Plenty of Boarding Patrol boxes are coming to join the fun – but the starfaring Aeldari are masters of sailing through the void, and their spiky cousins are no strangers to raiding stranded vessels and even space hulks.
Boarding Patrol: Eldar
Boarding Patrol: Aeldari contains 20 Corsairs who can be built either as Voidreaver Troops or as tooled-up Voidscarred Elites. These versatile kits provide a solid firebase – or pistol-packing combatants – while Jain Zar and five of her finest Howling Banshees dance through the decks, unleashing disorientating psychosonic screams as they cut their foes to ribbons.
- 20 Corsairs $120 ($60 for 10)
- Jain Zar $45 (increased from $42 with price updates)
- Howling Banshees $60
Total MSRP: $225
Savings versus (estimated) $125 box price: $100
Is the Eldar Box Worth it?
Even at $125, you get a hundred dollars worth of value, so we expect them to go with that price tag. However, the bulk of the money is made up in the Corsairs. So, if you want the Corsairs, this is a decent buy. If you don’t want 20 Corsairs, then it’s not worth it; pretty simple!
While it does has decent savings, it might be a niche box.
Boarding Patrol: Drukhari
Succubi are skilled duelists, making them a perfect leader for the close confines of a Boarding Action. They command 20 Wyches, acrobatic murderers who no-one wants to get stuck in a room with, and have also hired five Incubi – heavily-armoured shock troopers who can clear out whole gangways with their razor-sharp demiklaives.
- 20 Wyches $90 (They went up from $38-$45 in recent price increases)
- Incubi $60
- Succubus $27
Total MSRP: $177
Savings versus (estimated) $110 box price: $67
Is the Drukhari Box Worth it?
Well, we can’t see them make this anything but $110 because even then, it only has $67 in value. If it’s priced at $125, then this will really not have much value at all. However, at this price, you basically get the Incubi for free, which is pretty nice.
However, if you don’t need a single unit in this box, it’s not really worth it. So, if you need every unit inside, it will definitely save you some cash. If you don’t want a bunch of Wyches, then it’s probably a pass.
