A pair of new Boarding Patrols along with the new Strike Force Agastus are out this weekend from Games Workshop!

via Games Workshop

Strike Force Agastus $200

 

Strike Force Agastus makes planetfall. In the company of a Brutalis Dreadnought, squads of heavily armed Desolation Marines rain down volleys of explosive ordnance across the battlefield, guided by a skilled Primaris Lieutenant as they pulverise even the toughest of foes in the Emperor’s name.

This boxed set focuses on an elite strike force of Space Marines, including miniatures that are available here for the first time. Leading the charge is a Primaris Lieutenant, who can be customised with a choice of cosmetic parts and a variety of weapon options – his left hand grips a plasma pistol, heavy bolt pistol, or a bolt rifle with one of three configurations, while his right hand can wield a power fist or a power sword, or simply gesture to a tactical goal.

Accompanying him is a squad of Heavy Intercessors – bulky troops wielding a variety of heavy bolt rifles, ideal for holding objectives and taking out enemies with withering volleys of fire. Adding even more long range firepower is the Desolation Squad, who can be armed with either superfrag or superkrak rocket launchers. Finally, the box contains the appropriately named Brutalis Dreadnought – this line-breaker is a true terror weapon, able to crush even heavily armoured enemies with ease between crushing fists or shredding talons.

Also included is a Strike Force Agastus booklet, featuring background information on the strike force and rules for using all the miniatures in the box.

This set includes the following multipart plastic models:
– 1x Primaris Lieutenant
– 1x Brutalis Dreadnought
– 5x Heavy Intercessors
– 10x Desolation Marines
– 2x Ultramarines Infantry Transfer sheets, each containing 279 transfers

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.

Boarding Patrol: Chaos Space Marines $125

For ten thousand years, warbands of Chaos Space Marines have waged near-constant war on the galaxy that cast them out. 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 Black Legion are the most feared of all these Traitor Legions, guided as they are by the dark will of Warmaster Abaddon himself.

Boarding Patrol: Chaos Space Marines provides a brutal force of Heretic Astartes infantry, perfectly suited to ripping foes apart in games of Warhammer 40,000 – especially in the dense and deadly Boarding Action missions detailed in the Arks of Omen series – and will save you money compared to buying the kits individually.

Abaddon the Despoiler himself stands at the head of this assault, carving through hapless defenders with the Talon of Horus and Drach’nyen, ancient hatred and peerless skill driving him forward in search of his prize. At his command advance 10 elite Legionaries, armed with a variety of vicious close-quarters and ranged weapons and capable of splitting into squads of five for prowling claustrophonic corridors. Ahead of them all, a rabid mob of 20 Chaos Cultists floods the passages of enemy vessels, clogging the foe’s guns with each reckless charge.

This set includes the following:
– 1x Abaddon the Despoiler
– 10x Chaos Space Marine Legionaries
– 20x Chaos Cultists, armed with brutal assault weapons and autopistols
– 1x Chaos Space Marines Transfer Sheet, containing 364 transfers

This box can be used to assemble a variety of units – the recommended build for Boarding Action games is Abaddon the Despoiler, five Legionaries, and two Cultist Mobs of ten models each.

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.

Rules for playing Boarding Action games of Warhammer 40,000 can be found in the Arks of Omen: Abaddon supplement. Additional rules for Chaos Space Marines Boarding Patrols can be found in Arks of Omen: Angron.

 

Boarding Patrol: Tyranids $125

Like the questing tendrils of some impossibly vast monster, the Tyranid hive fleets push deeper into the galaxy with every passing day. For every swarm destroyed by desperate defenders, another three drift into the light of beleaguered stars, ready to do battle. The Tyranids cannot be bought off, reasoned with, or put to flight – only fought or fled from. Against their seemingly inexhaustible numbers and endless hunger, even the thick hulls of voidborne craft cannot offer true safety from the Hive Mind.

Boarding Patrol: Tyranids provides a balanced force of hungry Tyranids infantry, perfectly suited to ripping apart foes or firing grotesque bio-weapons in games of Warhammer 40,000 – especially in the dense and deadly Boarding Action missions detailed in the Arks of Omen series – and will save you money compared to buying the kits individually.

Guide the assault with a cunning Broodlord, able to tear apart any foe foolish enough to get close. He’s supported by six versatile Tyranid Warriors, split into two groups of three and spawned with a variety of ranged and closed combat weaponry. Anything unlucky enough to survive their assault will be hunted down by a unit of Genestealers, who can be armed with either rending claws or scything talons – both perfect weapons for the confines of a space hulk.

This set includes the following:
– 1x Broodlord
– 6x Tyranid Warriors
– 8x Genestealers

This box can be used to assemble a variety of units – the recommended build for Boarding Action games is a Broodlord, five Genestealers, and two three-model units of Tyranid Warriors.

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.

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