The old Hand of the Magus Combat Patrol has been replaced and the new Claw of Ascension Combat Patrol has been announced. While both combat patrol boxes can be used in Combat Patrol games in 40k you will no longed be able to buy the old combat patrol. That is where the Genestealer Cults combat patrol has gone, it was discontinued and replaced by a new version. I will be comparing the new genestealer cults combat patrol to the old one. Should I buy the Genestealer Cult combat patrol? Is the GSC combat patrol worth it? These are my first impressions on the GSC combat patrol as a veteran Genestealer Cult player to advise if these Warhamer 40,000 boxes are worth buying.
The Genestealer Cults Battleforce the Biosanctic Broodsurge has been announced. Is the GSC battleforce worth buying and if the Genestealer Cults Battleforce is available - that is what this video hopes to answer before the Hachette Combat Patrol Magazine is launched.

Combat patrols these days are more about balancing the 40K into game Combat Patrol than the actually selling introductions to a faction

@thefloatingcontinent9897 Месяц назад

The manager at my local GW store flat told me that. Paraphrasing: “combat patrols aren’t supposed to be used to start an army, they’re supposed to be used to play the combat patrol game. They should have useful units to add to an existing army but getting new players into the faction? that’s what Battleforces are supposed to be for.”

@luketfer Месяц назад

@@thefloatingcontinent9897 Then bring back the god damn start collecting boxes instead...also I honestly don't know anyone who plays the 'combat patrol game'. Everyone I've seen get into it with 10th just goes straight into a lower points cost regular 40k game. And now they're looking to try to push Combat Patrol into AoS...so I can't imagine they're very happy about it either.

@@luketfer yeah that would be pretty great. A start collecting, even at a higher price point, that gave customers a sizable and good variety of units would probably sell well and have similar profit margins.

@dragonqueenniisan4122 Месяц назад

@@luketfer I did play Combat Patrol once, I very much did not like it. I enjoy unit building and flexibility and the only major choices you can make in combat patrol are what enhancement you put on your character, and even then, there is one obviously bad choice and one good choice so you dont really choose.

@chriscannon7065 Месяц назад

one thing, not every combat patrol has had battle line units. The original space marine one for this edition is noticeably lacking in this and they gave you a stratagem to be able to sticky objectives.

@ChristianVonCarmian40kVtuber Месяц назад

keep me correct!

@josepholivarez1281 Месяц назад

My initial thoughts is that it isn't fantastic for a new player, significantly worse than the previous one, *but* it's pretty great for existing buyers of the previous combat patrol/battleforce to round out their collection.

@MrShukaku1991 Месяц назад

I think it's fine for a new player, though it is a bit skewed, like the Ork Beast Snagga patrol. They're both good, it's just also they're both one specific aspect of the army rather than a varied starter platter.

@Grooviebones Месяц назад

I assume GW does factor in the previous boxes of the faction to determine new ones, y'know, just to make sure they aren't too samey. However, it is also GW, so I assume malicious cost saving measures on their part before I assume they are being considerate of long-term fans of a faction. I assume they aren't trying to round out peoples collections, they just needed different units from the previous patrol and wanted to put less value in it, which coincidentally rounds out the previous patrol.

@shovel9824 Месяц назад

Thank the gods I watched this video before the combat patrol came out. I was planning on getting it as I need the Jacakls and Ridgerunner, and figured 10 more ACOLYTE HYBRIDS won’t hurt. Now knowing there just hybrid metamorphs I’ll just buy the two kits I need. Thanks

@UmULW Месяц назад

They should be able to be built alternatively into the 10 acolytes no? And if you wanted to play an actually combat patrol I'm sure that proxying them wouldn't be too much work.

@TheGraham27 Месяц назад

As a new player to GSC, I think these boxes are great. I bought 2 of the last patrol boxsets and some genestealers, 1 squad of bikes. So this expands my army in different ways, more genestealers and aberrants to go that way, more trucks and bikes for mechanized list if it works out, more metamorphs or hybrids, more Neophytes if I need to, and ridgerunners. Saying that, I can see how some people who have been playing them longer may not enjoy the boxsets. You'll probably never have a better patrol boxset like last one, I do like how it's different options, so you have a chance to expand for cheaper. .....if you bought the old boxset of course.

I think one of the best parts of playing a human(and gsc) faction, is you've got lots of other armys to draw on. Guard, Sisters, ad mech, Imperial Agents and GSC can all kinda borrow bits and bobs from eachother. Just not quite as great as being an ork and being able to snag da good bitz from whoeva wez want to.

As someone who bought 3 of the old GSC combat patrol, I’m pretty stoked about the new one. We knew it was going to be bad but it could’ve been worse ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

@spruceforester3038 Месяц назад

Honestly I think if you make a few armature with empty head and arm sockets you can have both Acolytes and Metamorphs which gives you more infantry more units and more points per dollar.

@scarletsurge5624 Месяц назад

@JanBaucke Месяц назад

Hachette's Combat Patrol Magazine has me worried at the moment. Between the test run and the actual product there were changes to at least Imperium and Stormbringer, small changes but changes. At least I hope that it really includes the old CPs and that the old ones weren't just a placeholder for the new ones. Because of those included, only the Space Marines and Tyranid CPs were already known in the new variant. For me: if old CPs, then hopefully a publication here in Germany (like Conquest, Imperium and Stormbringer - Mortal Realms was not published here) and then I have 2 subscriptions. If there is also the announced Premium content, then both subscriptions will also become Premium.

@Rexir2 Месяц назад

1:20 "Every single Combat Patrol has had a Battleline unit included..." Combat Patrol: Space Marines has 2 Terminator leader characters, a 5-man Infernus Squad and a 5-man Terminator Squad; no Battleline units. Additionally, the Vanguard Spearhead set they rereleased afterwards has a Phobos Lieutenant, 10 Infiltrators, 3 Eliminators and 3 Suppressors; no Battleline units.

HOW TO START GSC CHEAP: Ebay sometimes have listings for Deathwatch Overkill for $120-$150. These don't have the Space Marines and/or are partially built sometimes. The models are all push-fit mono-pose but you get everything you need to start an army.

@waltereadie3620 Месяц назад

The third thing a CP box should do (and IMO most important) is be fun and effectove to play in actual games of combat patrol. I like to get CP boxes i know i'll never have the army for just for combat patrol game variety

@darklink9922 Месяц назад

M y issue with Combat patrols is that thwyre removing transports from alot of them. EonsOfBattle said it in a video and i couldnt agree with it more "Transports are importants and good units but buying transports sucks because theyre not exciting". Him saying that mare me realize i never straight bought a single transport theyve all been from bigger boxes.

@B1-997 Месяц назад

@colinbielat8558 Месяц назад

@demon1103 Месяц назад

Honestly all they needed to do for these CP was to just add in one extra unit to make up for what's being taken out (Sisters for example lost both a Rhino+PE without anything taking their place). As for anyone who'd bring up balance for the CP game mode, take a look at the Custodes box and their rules. Custodes are only able to use 40-50% of their box in CP mode, this means GW could give great value in the boxes, and then adjust the rules/ limit units in the game mode to balance.....but that doesn't maximize profit.

@thefloridaman41 Месяц назад

Everything is an improvement on the Dark Angel’s one where you get a character that can’t be attached to anything in the box

I’m fine with GW changing combat patrol boxes into sets of models to be played against other Patrols but not fine with them refusing to change the price to match.

Yeah, I am excited for this combat patrol just because it has all other units that I already don't have. But as our teacher and preacher on four armed Emperor said... you don't really need two of those. Thankfully I listened to him and got two of old ones before they sold out (nabbed literally the last one that came in my country).

Yea, after having ran þe numbers myself during a lunch break, þe new boxes are… not great, but not þe absolute dog water people were claiming during þe stream. But I suppose anyþing would look awful compared to þe Hand of the Magus we’ve enjoyed for so long. Now I need to adjust my numbers from a while back, but safe to say þe value of þis new Combat Patrol is not getting better. Why þe Jackal is $45.00 is beyond me, but c’est la vie. Also, I already ran all þe numbers; I posted it in _your_ Discord server. I tried to save you so much time… or at least half an hour. 😅

Cutting out the literal backbone of the GSC faction entirely for what is supposed to essentially be a box made for people with little to no prior investment in a faction sure is a decision. It feels like someone with no understanding of the faction saw the early meta for GSC at the beginning of 10ed and said, "Yeah, that'll sell well".

The GSC Combat Patrol isn't for starting players. It's for players that bought 3x the previous combat patrol but avoided the bikes and vehicles because of the price of that crap, so you can finally have them for something approaching a reasonable price. I wouldn't recommend GSC to starting players anymore.

@darnokx9277 Месяц назад

The new character being included in the Battleforce is actually a significant drawback for me - and the reason I will not get it. I think the Benefictus sculpt is hideous, and I do NOT want the "official" GW model. Without it though, the Battleforces value drops off massively, and I am not interested too much in the rest of the stuff in it either. So, hard pass for me. Still a solid box for anybody starting out AND liking the big brain dude.

As a financial advisor I have to explain to people everyday that overinflated value is not a baseline that you should be using to make investment decisions. The last combat patrol was overvalued and underpriced. The new combat patrol was not going to allow that to become a trend. This doesn’t mean it’s bad at all. Also your bike proxy dude looks awesome.
