Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - BOARDING PATROL: T'au Empire

Product Information

At a base level, the T’au Boarding Patrol comes in at a little cheaper that some of the other Boarding Patrol sets we’ve looked at so far. However, there is reason for this. Take a look at the table below. The new Boss Snikrot stays true to the old Finecast model. Snikrot became a touch bigger and the details are a bit sharper and more precise thanks to the plastic casting, but otherwise, almost all the details can be found again. The three heads are a nice addition, but I would have preferred an alternative left arm to mimic the iconic “shhh” pose of the old model. The other stuff All models are supplied with their appropriate bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints. Now, let’s have a look at how much the individual components in these boxes are worth were you to buy them seperately. Here’s everything in the box, painted up by Games Workshop’s ‘Eavy Metal team and professionally photographed – as if you didn’t need tempting more.

Boarding Patrol: Necrons is a dispassionate force of mechanised warriors featuring 10 Necron Warriors, three Canoptek Scarab Swarms, 10 Lychguard – who can be built as Triarch Praetorians outside of Boarding Actions – and three Ophydian Destroyers with a Canoptek Plasmactyte.From a tabletop perspective, a huge amount of the value in the T’au units in this Boarding Patrol lies in their upgrades. There are a vast amount of options available for the Crisis Battlesuit Team that will ensure you are able to up their value to around the 500 point mark that you need for a Boarding Patrol game. The divisive and enigmatic Commander Farsight stands at the head of this assault, blasting through opponents in a blur of blade strikes and blazing fire in search of his prize. Behind him stomp three sleek XV8 Crisis Battlesuits – the ultimate balance of firepower, speed and resilience – and ten Breachers, Fire Warriors who use close-range, high-powered pulse blasters to clear the confined corridors of a space hulk. It’ll come as no surprise to anyone who has been following these Boarding Patrol releases that Boarding Patrol: T’au Empire offers up some pretty decent savings. A cursory glance tells me that the Voidscarred are the more flavourful choice of kit – they have more options concerning loadouts, and cooler models (let’s be honest). That’s to be expected, considering this kit originated from Kill Team: Nachmund – so differing variants in the unit will have unique abilities. For example, the Way Seeker is a psyker, the Shade Runner can give extra mortal wounds after charging and the Felarch can throw his bird at the target, who loses any benefit of cover. Birds are vicious, after all.

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. On average, the general savings are around 35% for each currency – bar Australia. These are still decent savings, but GW aren’t spoiling us like they did for Boarding Patrol: Chaos Space Marines. Regardless, you get a lot of plastic in this box to spoil us instead – and the currently exclusive Farsight too. Boarding Patrol: T’au Empire – Contents This is hard-hitting force includes three Crisis Battlesuits and a squad of 10 Fire Warriors, who are perfectly suited for close-quarters combat when assembled as a Breacher Team. The battlesuits have numerous short-ranged weapon options, which offer great utility against many different enemy types in tight spaces. Far from being a preening noble hiding up in the Spire, Lady Haera loves nothing more than getting her hands dirty with a masterwork power spear and a phase sword. She’s a terror to face – so make sure she’s on your side when she arrives on Saturday.As they’ll be doing the lion’s share of the damage – against many different kinds of troops – our Crisis Battlesuits have a diverse selection of weapons at their disposal, from infantry-shredding burst cannons to elite-melting fusion blasters. We’ll also prize Early Warning Overrides for their bonuses to Overwatch – extremely potent in Boarding Action games.

Furthermore, the Crisis Battlesuits have Overwatch – meaning any enemy unit that declares a charge, you can be that guy to say ‘Halt thy dice rolls! And witness thine!’ and roll off first to see if you get to damage or even kill the enemy before they plough into you with whatever nasty combat abilities they have. Again, extremely useful to have in a game mode where close combat can be literally around the corner. Plus with all the other wargear you can get, like Shield Generator and Iridium Battlesuit, you can get 4+ invulnerable save and Save of 2+ respectively. These upgrades come just in time for his greatest challenge yet in Arks of Omen: Farsight . The infamous Bad Moons warlord Nazdreg, master of tellyporta taktiks, has taken up the reins of the War of Dakka – a never-ending conflict fuelled by the Orks’ desire to beat the Farsight Enclaves at their own shooting game.
