Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - BOARDING PATROL: Leagues Of Votann

Product Information

First, the fact that it still runs on modified Warhammer 40,000 rules, so you have to get a couple of 40K rulebooks just to know how it plays and what your army can do, and second, the fact that the game’s missions are very much dependent on you owning the specific (and very expensive) scenery for playing inside Arks of Omen released by Games Workshop.

Clad in bulky exo-armour with a rune-etched RAM shield and Autoch-pattern combi-bolter, the Einhyr Champion leads the assault with impunity. Alongside him are five elite Einhyr Hearthguard, plus a squad of Cthonian Beserks, wielding powerful mining tools that double as weapons of war, and ten Hearthkyn Warriors armed with a variety of powerful hulk-cleansing wargear. x5 Cthonian Beserks Miniatures– The heavily augmented and courageous elite Cthonian Beserks brandish powerful mining tools and explosives to storm and break open enemy strongpoints. The final two Warhammer 40k Boarding Patrols, for the Leagues of Votann and the Agents of the Imperium have been announced by GW. However, if you’re already playing 40K, and you perhaps also have the correct scenery, the game is really easy to get into.

Azrael isn’t the only Chapter Master given the Primaris treatment – Commander Dante has barely tied a bow on the apocalyptic invasion of Baal and he’s already off finding more enemies of the Imperium to destroy. Someone really needs to give the guy a holiday. Vashtorr the Arkifane

Rules for playing Boarding Action games of Warhammer 40,000 can be found in the Arks of Omen: Abaddon supplement. Additional rules for Leagues of Votann Boarding Patrols can be found in Arks of Omen: The Lion. So, though as good as the box is, it’s not entirely ready to play out of the box. You’ll need to subtract at least 140 points to make it playable.The massive Cerberus Heavy Tank Destroyer is an armoured beast , mounting a triple-barrelled neutron laser battery onto a rugged Spartan hull to create a devastatingly focused anti-tank weapon. It can detonate tanks in a single blast while shrugging off return fire like it’s nothing – everything you want in a Lord of War. Sicaran Venator Tank Hunter I hope these guys keep their Feel No Pain in the next edition. They are easy to get shot down if you aren't careful, but if you can get them into combat they will pummel/slice their way through anything you throw at them. Combine that with the legendary mole grenade launcher, and you've got yourself an awesome unit. Hernkyn Pioneers Finally, the fact that Games Workshop has chosen to do all the gaming content for the Arks of Omen storyline rather than throw a wrench into competitive play with all sorts of weird new rules hidden in sold-out campaign books is an excellent move on their part. That said, I don't want to go too deep on the stats of each unit with 10th edition so close at hand. It wouldn't be very useful. So I'll just give you an overall impression of what they are and what they're good at. Uthar The Destined

If you don’t have any Characters in your Boarding Patrol detachment, you can selsect one of your unit champions as your Warlord. You can also select any special army traits granted by your codex (with some exceptions we’ll get into in the next section), and you can select an Enhancement instead of the Warlord Traits and relics you would normally use (more on that below as well).

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/09/29/leagues-of-votann-balance-update-a-word-from-james-workshop/ This is a big one that mostly affects magna-rails and ion cannons, which had additional effects which trigger on an unmodified 6 to wound. Previously, scoring an auto-wound with Eye of the Ancestors would cause the wound to count as though it had been generated via an unmodified 6, triggering the extra effects on those guns. That’s no longer the case, and it makes it much more difficult to score spillover damage with a magna rail – in fact, these effects will be at odds with Judgement tokens in that the more you have on a target, the less likely you are to generate 6s to wound.

This Boarding Patrol box offers decent savings averaging 37% – except for the Aussies, who get a big boost in savings at 42%, which is a nice switcharoo considering previous Boarding Patrol boxes often offered lower savings for those in the Land Down Under. You are almost getting quite a chunk of the box for free, individual values considered. Boarding Patrol: Leagues of Votann – Contents

FAQ: Eye of the Ancestors auto-wounds no longer count as a 6 to wound

x5 Einhyr Hearthguard Miniatures– an unstoppable elite force, clad in formidable exo-armour and equipped with a fearsome array of weaponry, serving as bodyguards or striking deep into enemy territory with ease. If you haven’t seen GW’s statement, you can find it here. And I’d recommend going to watch it, because the James Workshop video they put out with it is legitimately hilarious and self-aware:
