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. Within this box, the notorious Black Legion, led by the formidable Warmaster Abaddon, demonstrates their unmatched prowess in the galaxy. It’s an excellent choice for both seasoned players and those new to the Warhammer 40,000 universe, looking to explore the dark side of galactic warfare.

I dislike the rounded, stubby proportions of Gravis armour, and I felt that shields would be a viable alternative in close-confines. Abaddon spearheads elements of his current campaign in person, and so the Chaos Space Marine Boarding Patrol includes the Despoiler himself , 10 Chaos Space Marine Legionaries , and 20 Cultists for you to cherry-pick your own patrol from. I'd guess its a Space marine and CSM Boarding Patrols box and an Arks of Omen themed CSM Battleforce around Abaddon. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Perfect for Boarding Patrol missions, especially those detailed in the Arks of Omen series, this box set offers a diverse range of playstyles.

Everyone has a different approach, but I tailor my thematic lists with an eye toward how I think my force would operate. The Sternguard exist to anchor the force with potent ranged firepower, and the Eradicators are for melting bulkheads and heavy opposition. If you’ve been living away from the bullhorn, Boarding Actions are the small-format 40K ruleset from Arks of Omen focusing on infantry and close-quarters combat. Only showing 5x CSMs not 10 on Boarding Patrol photo is strange too, not showing all the minis included!

Damaged condition cards show obvious tears, bends, or creases that could make the card illegal for tournament play, even when sleeved. The Balefleet Battleforce is a contingent of corrupted warriors comprised of 10 Possessed , five Chaos Space Marine Terminators , and a Heldrake , all led by an infernal Daemon Prince. Out of the box this collection has a few too many points for a single Boarding Action force, but that just gives you more options to play around with.Maybe another 20 cultists or if you’re feeling extra spicy, drop 10 cultists and add in 5 more Terminators.

You’ll be able to face any foe with a highly customisable Primaris Captain in Gravis armour , five Heavy Intercessors , and 10 Assault Intercessors . You’d be amazed at what you can learn about converting and painting by just pushing your creative limits once.THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY, THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG, THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES and the names of the characters, items, events and places therein are trademarks of The Saul Zaentz Company d/b/a Middle-earth Enterprises under license to New Line Productions, Inc. For this challenge, I settled on this list (it’s actually 500 points once Arks of Omen is official). I’m picking those up because I always need Primaris bodies and I feel in love with the Heavy Plasma Incinerator backpack attachment.
