GW is displaying off 4 new 40K Fight Patrol units. Let’s see which of them are most value opening up your pockets for.
I’m all for brand spanking new Fight Patrol choices for gamers to seize and begin there armies however these choices are undoubtedly not all equal when trying on the minis inside. Let’s break down and rank all 4 of them. I do assume a number of are “should” haves for these enjoying these armies as they provide you a approach to rapidly gather a few of the new stuff in a pleasant boxed set you will discover for a reduction.
We’ll break down the rating based mostly on Money Worth, Factors Worth, and eventually Utilization Worth. This fashion you possibly can take a look at them and resolve if you wish to try to preorder them after they come out or simply wait and see if you will discover it later at a higher low cost. I do like seeing extra of those choices as it’s simply an effective way to get began on a brand new military when you didn’t get an opportunity to purchase the loopy battleforce bins for a few of them or different “FOMO” releases that often come first with these new fashions.
Fight Patrol: Aeldari Corsairs
This can be a fast launch after the Corsairs boxed set that simply got here out. It’s cool they will give Aeldari gamers an opportunity to get a few of the fashions after promoting out of that new set. Actually it actually looks like a pleasant “smaller” buy to allow you to check out these new pointy eared pirates. In addition they even threw in a cool little HQ alternative that may present up in armies simply as a result of giving out a pleasant bubble of anti-deployment tech.
Money Worth – $235 Corsairs Skyreavers are usually not out as a separate field however we are able to simply make the most of the Swooping Hawks price as the worth and it appears Corsairs are usually not on the web site so will go away them at $60.00, providing you with an preliminary financial savings of 65 bucks which isn’t too unhealthy and principally provides you a free Corsairs field.
Factors Worth – 455pts – This provides you a pleasant nearly 25% of your military if you’re planning on constructing an Aeldari power. I additionally love that you simply get a transport to play with providing you with a whole lot of choices from a paint standpoint with cool troopers and a car.
Utilization Worth – You get a transport that you’d almost certainly want for any Aeldari military – however the infantry decisions could possibly be hit and miss for any future military. It’s so heavy in Corsair construct that it has you questioning if a few of the different Aeldari decisions can be higher to begin with. Now as an add on to an current military this can be a nice purchase however for anybody beginning I’d in all probability go away this for a future buy and by the opposite Aeldari Fight Patrol.
Fight Patrol: Crimson Corsairs
It’s an fascinating boxed set because it provides you a unit of CSM Crimson Corsair Raiders, their Reave Captain, a Rhino, and a few Felgors? This can be a bizarre one and you will note it’s in all probability not the very best one to begin your military. I do find it irresistible provides you a Rhino however the Felgors are a head scratching alternative.
Money Worth – $237.50 – this once more is seeking to prevent about 65 bucks which is the Rhino without cost or the Corsair Raiders.
Factors Worth – 330pts – This can be a bizarre worth while you evaluate it to the Aeldari Corsairs boxed set. I believe the Felgors really feel misplaced on this one and surprise if placing in one thing else just like the Accursed Cultists or Traitor Guard with a Traitor Enforcer might need been higher.
Utilization Worth – I like that you simply get a Rhino however this actually doesn’t really feel like sufficient to justify placing all of this collectively. I believe there are lot of different rabble choices you would have added to make this a greater boxed set for these wanting to begin a Crimson Corsairs military. On the very least one other HQ alternative may have been cool with some Traitor Guard.
Fight Patrol: Kroot
I believe this can be a higher beginning possibility if you wish to add Kroot to your current T’au Empire military. You get all of the items you must get some Kroot working for you T’au and I believe that’s nice. It feels tremendous properly rounded with a ton of stuff to construct and paint.
Money Worth: $242 of fashions that present out of inventory on the GW web site. This protects you greater than the opposite fight patrols which is a cool factor.
Factors Worth: 290pts – Wow are these guys priced to maneuver within the recreation of 40k. This looks like a whole lot of stuff for little or no factors funding.
Utilization Worth – Should you haven’t added Kroot to your T’au then this can be a nice boxed set to begin including them. All the pieces is helpful for a Kroot military and it provides you the items you possibly can’t at present discover on their web site proper now. I additionally assume all of the fashions are an amazing bit to construct and paint up as all of them are new designs which is a good factor.
Fight Patrol: Night time Lords
That is a type of boxed units that if you wish to get a whole lot of bits to construct a Night time Lords military this can be a nice approach to begin. It provides you adequate choices to construct them as Night time Lord Legionnaires or construct them as a Nemesis Claw as properly. Oh and also you additionally get a Rhino which is cool factor with a enjoyable HQ alternative. The one factor that feels off from that is it’s lacking Raptors/Warp Talons boxed set.
Money Worth: $255.50 – made the additional Improve sprue 10 {dollars} however it’s the greatest “financial savings” as a result of letting you’re taking a Nemesis Claw
Factors Worth: 480pts – I’m going to interrupt it down into one 5-man Legionaries possibility and one 5-man Nemesis Claw as that’s almost certainly the very best factors for this.
Utilization Worth: Should you haven’t began your Chaos House Marine military and wish to do a Night time Lords themed power (cuz they appear superior) that is a tremendous boxed set to select up. You get a ton of worth out of the boxed and the one factor that may not be used immediately is the Chaos Lord with Leap Pack. He wants some associates to experience with so you must wait a bit to seize some Raptors/Warp Talons and get to constructing. Nonetheless each single factor is de facto helpful and you may simply purchase one other Chaos Lord in your Legionaries to experience with, seize a Grasp of Executions in your Nemesis Claw, and even look to the brand new Huron Boxed set to hang around with the Chosen.
Fight Patrols – The Verdict
Total I believe the worth of the Kroot and Night time Lord bins are a few of the greatest. Virtually every thing is helpful in every of these bins and any new participant can be completely satisfied to have them if they’re going in direction of the military. The Corsairs is an fascinating boxed set for current Aeldari gamers who didn’t seize the Corsairs boxed set with the Prince in there. The Crimson Corsairs field although simply isn’t that good and except you get it for a steal I’d keep clear from that one.
What do you assume? Are you seeking to seize any of those after they come out later this yr? Is it lastly time to get that Night time Lords spooky military constructed and dealing?
