Which do you think are the "best"? Best being the ones that are tougher to deal with while still being able to deal with other tougher patrols?

For example, I think the Sanguinary Strike Force is pretty mean - the Strike Force Octavius is also pretty mean but I'm not sure AS beefy. I haven't seen a sheet for the new Deathguard Patrol but that looks pretty good too. The Insiduous Infiltrators aren't bad.

My WHFB armies were Bretonians and Tomb Kings.

I got the Eldar combat patrol. Was looking for wraithguards and the spirit seer but the deal with having 10 Dire Avengers made me spend a little more. Would have been about $325 CAD if It bought each seperatly and I think the Dires by themselves are not worth the price tag, so I am happy.

As for gameplay, haven't played them in a patrol setting but they seem decent, but lacking in fire power as there's no heavy.

Not all that bothered about Combat Patrol, but the new Twilight Cavalcade( Harlequins ) feels a bit too much...

Troupe Master
Shadowseer
Troupe(6)
Troupe(6)
Voidweaver
Skyweavers(2)


...and so I'd lose the Troupe Master to balance things out to 480 points, down from 555 points. It would also make it an easier purchase. An alternative list might be...

Solitaire
Death Jester
Skyweavers(2)
Troupe(6)
Troupe(6)


...at 500 points. The Solitaire is a badass hero but we are seeing the inclusion of Daemon Princes in some lists.

Casual gaming, mostly solo-coop these days.

Sanguinary Strike Force stands out, but Deathguard Patrol seems promising!
