Does anyone know what happened with the Custodies and Genestealer Cult Combat Patrol boxes?

They were announced around the end of last year IIRC, at the same time the Tau one was. The Tau one has come and gone, since then we've had Eldar announced and actually gotten that combat patrol, so what about Custodies and Cults who had their codices drop before either of these?

Anyone know, because I was pretty excited for both of these. Maybe waiting until stores offload their Shadow Throne that didn't sell well? (Just wild speculation on my part for that).

Given the points contained in most Combat Patrol boxes are around 500pts give or take, a Custodes CP box would have about 3-5 models. Yeah, not paying 110USD for 1 box of bikes and a Blade Champion.

If all that T’au tech fails to tickle you, don’t worry – over the next few months, more new Combat Patrols are coming to Warhammer 40,000, for Grey Knights, Thousand Sons, Genestealer Cults, and Adeptus Custodes.

That's STILL only 3 boxes of guys, 4 if you plan on actually using the Wardens. 1 3 bike box, 1 box of sisters, 1 box of guardians, and a box of wardens. for 120 bucks? Pass.

Agreed, better yet we should petition them to release the models individually so it becomes "18 boxes of guys and gals" to increase value.

TEEEEEECHNICALLY it's only *TWOOO* boxes of guys. And two boxes of gals. It's two boxes of sisters of silence, and it's the regular custodian guard not the wardens (wardens have loin cloths)

It's actually almost 750 if you build 2 HQ choices which is really high for a CP, and I wanted some SoS anyway, so for me at least, it's a really good box. But yeah, I get why quite a few would pass.

Ewww. A Box of Bikes, two boxes of sisters, and a box of Guardians. Not even a BC or a Terminator squad. This is kinda worthless.

Do custodes players want to use SoS for something, I mean the non tournament ones?

If you have to kill, then kill in the best manner. If you slaughter, then slaughter in the best manner. Let one of you sharpen his knife so his animal feels no pain.

If I was, I would. They look pretty cool and offer some psyker defence in a way, they're not meta breaking but options and units to pick in a book as slim as custodes is never bad.

You're the only person I've ever seen judge the value of a discount box by number of boxes it contains. Not worried about the price of the box or the price of the boxes it contains. Just the number of boxes.

Fascinating.

They're cheap obsec. Post nerf, they have a lot more use for cheap obsec.

For me, it's the sisters that makes me consider the box at all- without them, I'd have no interest in this.

But then, we know I'm not your typical player. I want SoS so they can be requisitioned by my Ordo Hereticus operatives, as they are great Witch Hunting units. Previously, I had no interest in Custodes, but the Torchbearer Fleet Crusade rules gave me a reason to consider them. I'd never need a lot of them- that Torchbearer army will also include SoS, Admech, Primaris Greyshields and Inquisitorial forces, so no one group needs to be particularly large.

I just think it's weird that the Sisters of Silence outnumber the Adeptus Custodes in the Adeptus Custodes Combat Patrol.

The weird part is they weren't rebranded to talons of the emperor.

I mean poxwalkers outnumber Death Guard in the Death Guard patrol.
That Genestealer Cult box is really great. The best looking HQ, useful troops squads and a big vehicle.

I think people are forgetting that the Combat Patrols are probably intended for people getting started with the faction.

They also have the secondary objective of not scaling well so people can't have a 50PL army by buying two

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks do not think that purple makes them harder to see. They do think that camouflage does however, without knowing why.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

With the exception of Death Guard and maybe Sisters, I'd say they're all pretty good for doubling up.

One has to be very intersted in to running off meta GK lists, to want to buy 2 patrol boxs of GK. Same with 1ksons.

If you have to kill, then kill in the best manner. If you slaughter, then slaughter in the best manner. Let one of you sharpen his knife so his animal feels no pain.
