New 40k Farsight, Snikrot & Boarding Patrols: FIRST LOOK
Like with most of the new characters, they are inside a different box instead of on their own. Still, the Boarding Patrols have had some pretty decent value, so there is nothing wrong with getting a new character and saving some cash.
Well, that’s assuming they are not capped at low numbers like the previous ones and twos from previous weeks…
Arks of Omen: Farsight
Vashtorr the Arkifane’s quest for the Key-fragments is nearing its end, and the action turns to the dead world of Arthas Moloch in the fourth chapter in the epic narrative series, Arks of Omen: Farsight. Commander Farsight is just preparing to wrap up the vicious War of Dakka once and for all, when calamity strikes and his entire operation is jeopardised by the arrival of the Unhallowed space hulk and its Balefleet entourage.
As well as advancing the narrative of Warhammer 40,000, this book includes significant expansions for the Boarding Actions game mode. Not only do Dark Depths missions allow you to mix up your battlefields, the book also introduces multiplayer games for three or four players – be they two-on-two team matches or exciting free-for-alls.
In addition, there are expanded Boarding Actions rules for T’au Empire, Asuryani and Ynnari, Drukhari, Harlequins, and Adepta Sororitas Boarding Patrols, which add further Stratagems and Enhancements for your crew. As with the rest of the series, a glamorous Special Edition of Arks of Omen: Farsight is also coming, with a silver foil-embossed cover, printed page edges, and a black ribbon page marker.
As with the other Arks of Omen books, this is no different, with lore advances along with some new rules for gameplay and factions.
Boarding Patrol: T’au Empire: (Savagely Allocated 2 Per Store)
Commander Farsight doesn’t just have a book dedicated to him – he’s also got an awesome new model, which is first available in Boarding Patrol: T’au Empire. This powerful assault force contains three Crisis battlesuits and 10 Fire Warriors, accompanied by a small shoal of Drones. It’s a firepower-first nightmare for enemy patrols, and even includes some close combat punch thanks to Farsight himself.
Pick up the new Farsight in the Tau boarding patrol! (This is delayed in Japan)
Arks of Omen: Farsight Enclaves Dice Set
With a new book and new model on the way, complete the Farsight trifecta with a pack of 15 crimson dice perfectly suited for your battlesuit battalions. These are cast in a deep red plastic with black pips, and sport the Farsight Enclaves symbol on the 6 face.
Arks of Omen Farsight Bundle Bonus
Planning to pick up all of the new T’au Empire releases? You can pick up Arks of Omen: Farsight, Boarding Patrol: T’au Empire, and the Farsight Enclaves Dice Set in a bundle together with an exclusive art print of Farsight himself signed by the artist, while stocks last.
Just like the other releases, if you pick up the bundle, you’ll get this bonus piece of art with your order! Keep in mind this is not available yet in Japan, Germany, or Australia…
Boarding Patrol Orks (Savagely Allocated 2 Per Store)
Sneak into the Arks of Omen and cause some big green havoc with Boss Snikrot and his boyz. Boarding Patrol: Orks is a musclebound collection of tough-as-nails fighters led by the legendary Kommando Boss sporting a brand new model. In addition to Snikrot, you’ll board with five Flash Gitz, 10 Beast Snagga Boyz, and 10 Kommandos – who also drag along a reluctant Kommando Grot and far-too-enthusiastic Bomb Squig for the ride.
Every Ork player always needs more boyz, and this gives you just that, plus the new Snikrot model too. This is also delayed in Japan.
Boarding Patrol Aeldari (Allocated 2 Per Store)
Few things are as terrifying in a confined space as a Phoenix Lord. Jain Zar leads Boarding Patrol: Aeldari accompanied by five Howling Banshees, as well as 20 Corsair Voidscarred who can be assembled as any one of two different units.
Some people love the new-ish Voidscarred, so this might be a popular bundle option to get a bunch of the latest Eldar all at once.
Boarding Patrol Drukhari (Allocated 2 Per Store)
The Drukhari already love to raid voidcraft for business and pleasure, and the Arks of Omen have only spilled blood in the water. A Succubus leads 20 Wyches in Boarding Patrol: Drukhari, accompanied by a band of five sinister Incubi.
If your alignment is slightly more devious, Drukhari might be a better option than regular Craftworlds Eldar.
Boarding Patrol Grey Knights (Allocated 1 Per Store)
Boarding Patrol: Grey Knights is one of the hardest-hitting patrols around, packed with psychic power and durable armour. Castellan Crowe joins five Brotherhood Terminators and 10 Strike Squad Grey Knights in an elite fighting force that might be few in number but hits like a truck.
If you’ve been eyeing Grey Knights, this is full of great unit choices you can play in every game going forward.
Boarding Patrol Necrons (Allocated 1 Per Store)
Not all Boarding Patrols need to be led by a great hero. Thanks to their efficient programming, Necrons can usually be trusted to carry out the orders of their Overlords to the letter, and so this phalanx of 10 Lychguard, 10 Necron Warriors, three Canoptek Scarab Swarms, and three Ophydian Destroyers makes Boarding Patrol: Necrons a mighty mix of machines.
Just like Grey Knights, this one comes with some decently popular selections!
