Rules for playing Boarding Action games of Warhammer 40,000 can be found in the Arks of Omen: Abaddon supplement.

That is, making the force yours by flavoring them with lore, names, and conversion pizazz to make them stand out.In the brand new Boarding Actions format, compact armies battle through cramped corridors and treacherous corners. Boarding Patrol: Space Marines contains a Captain in Gravis Armour, 10 Assault Intercessors, and five Heavy Intercessors, making a capable close-quarters force with plenty of firepower and durability for sticky situations. What constitutes a bulky item shall be at Battlefield Hobbies Limited’s discretion, hazardous items are those deemed so by the Royal Mail. I crawl through my accumulated bitz box for ideas – a compartmentalised mash of Imperial Guard, scenery and Space Marine pieces.

The various factions of the 41st Millennium are now forced to undertake Boarding Actions against these twisted space hulks, with small, elite forces clashing in their claustrophobic confines.

Next up on the painting table, however, are more additions for Third Company as I come very, very close to finishing all of its squads.

They advance alongside 10 stalwart Lychguard – you can also build those models as Triarch Praetorians, but they’re not usable in Boarding Actions.

Designed for the heart-pounding clashes of Warhammer 40,000's Arks of Omen series, this collection presents a cost-effective and versatile assembly of units, ready to dominate in the demanding realm of boarding actions. That will give you a bit of wiggle room for wargear (although not by much — we’re talking 50 points).We’re using the latest Munitorum Field Manual for these point breakdowns so feel free to double check our work. The Boarding Patrol: Space Marines box includes a Captain in Gravis armor, 10 Assault Intercessors and five Heavy Intercessors, forming a close-quarters unit with high firepower and resilience in the face of challenges. This box packs in five tooled-up Flash Gitz , 10 Beast Snagga Boyz , and 10 Kommandos – their loyal Distraction Grot and Bomb Squig in tow. Once the defenders of humanity, the Heretic Astartes long ago pledged themselves to the Dark Gods they now lead vicious raids against Imperial spacecraft and drifting space hulks alike, seeking glory and plunder.

The Adeptus Custodes excel in close quarters, and with three Allarus Custodians, five Custodian Guard, and Trajann Valoris himself packing out their Boarding Patrol, there’s little that will last more than a moment in their sight. My interest ignited while playing Dawn of War at age ten (let’s not discuss the parenting that led to this). But you should always be looking at a kit as a collection of pieces and potential, rather than something to build one squad, or one vehicle. You also then get ten Assault Intercessors for all of that close combat you're going to be getting stuck into and five Heavy Intercessors who can lay down covering fire along those open corridors. I did wonder if we were going to see boarding patrol boxes although I do think taking Abaddon wont make a very interesting game.In the cramped confines of a space hulk, these frenzied killers will close the distance between enemy guns with warp-flushed speed and savagery. Some people on Discord saw me painstakingly balance out points and unit wargear in my list for a week before the Arks of Omen changes shredded everything.
