Hello my friends! After about a week, or maybe more, without a word from me, I'm back to business... 40k is making a comeback in force! First was the Broodlord and the Tech Priest, and also the basing kits and the Crates... but now we have two new “Start Collecting” Box sets and Last Patrol is also coming!
Damn it, follow me. I'll show you how it's done!
- Lost Patrol Boardgame ($60)
- Start Collecting Chaos Space Marines ($85)
- Start Collecting Militarum Tempestus ($85)
Lost Patrol is no surprise as GW has been preparing to get it into wider retail locations for some months now. Here is (BoLS) rundown of the game:
Moraz III – a deadly jungle world filled with danger and fear, populated by ferocious aliens who wait in the undergrowth to pounce on the unwary and mercilessly kill anyone who stumbles across them. Even the plant life itself is malignant here, constantly twisting and growing in unnatural ways to trap its prey. A dropship containing vitally important surveillance files has crash landed on this hostile planet. It’s up to you and your squad of Space Marine Scouts to retrieve these files, activate the dropship, and hopefully escape with your lives.

Was that our get-away ship?
A fun and compelling two-player challenge, Lost Patrol is a boxed game set on a hostile jungle world full of sinister hidden danger! Players assume the roles of a Space Marines Scout squad and a fierce swarm of cunning Genestealers eager to end their lives. The Genestealers of Moraz III have every advantage on their home turf and will make every attempt to quickly dispatch the human intruders.
The Scouts will almost certainly all die. But how far can you get? Will you ever see the drop pod tile? And each game becomes a challenge to try and get further – and because you can turn games around in 10 minutes when you get into it, you can play loads of it, and swap sides and make it a competition with your mate.
I guess he was one of the previous players...
Inside the box, you’ll find five Space Marine Scouts, twelve Genestealers, six Infestations (the markers of imminent Genestealer appearance),thirty hex tiles and the full rules for play... Lost Patrol ships out on June 18th 2016! Check this review by The Dice tower:
Sam Healey takes a look at this 2-player modular-board strategy game where Space Marine Scouts are trying to get back to their drop ship through a tide of Genestealers, from Games Workshop.
The Start Collecting sets are more interesting, in particular the Chaos Space Marines. We have seen with Age of Sigmar that GW will often synchronise a new “Start Collecting” set with other reboxings and books accompanying the faction. I would not be surprised to see the CSMs getting some love very soon. So lets do some quick math for these boxes:
Chaos Space Marine Box – $85
- Chaos Space Marine Terminator Lord – $24.75
- Chaos Space Marine Box (10) – $39
- 1 Chaos Helbrute – $54
Total Savings: $32.75
Militarum Tempestus – $85
- 1 Offcio Prefectus Commissar – $21
- 10 x Militarum Tempestus Scions:
- Command Squad Pictured (5) – $35
- Tempestus Scions (5) – $35
- 1 Taurox Prime – $48
Total Savings: $54
Both of these boxes are going to be a great start or an addition to an already existing force. The Militartum Tempestus box in particular seems like a real deal – considering you get 10 Scions for $75, it’s nice to get the Taurox Prime for basically $10 more.
Next week the Eldar are up to something ... Check next Week’s Teaser:
“The Paths of the Eldar, Readers’ Models, and the Army of Death”
There is a lot to unpack here. Within the context of Warhammer 40K the “Paths of the Eldar” usually refer to the Aspect Warriors and the Warlock/Farseers. The one thing it wont be is anything related to the Dark Eldar or Harlequins who do not use the path social system.

The Army of Death could mean many things from the Blood Angels all Death Company armylist to death themed forces such as the Necrons, or anything Nagash related in Age of Sigmar. We will have to wait and see on that one...
Remember last week's releases? Have you bought any of the Sector Imperialis Bases? Check this video...

I think I'm going to re-base some of my Tau... And what about the new GW Gemstone paints? Have you tried any of those? No?! Here's Duncan explaining how to use them...
In this video Duncan shows you how to get great results with the new Citadel Gemstone paints.
