I listed above Harlequins, Custodes, and technically Imperial Knights and Chaos Knights.

Now they'll get a Combat Patrol. When? Maybe around the time the Palatine comes out.

Hopefully soon. They are Imperial so they have that going for them, and unlike Militarum they've got fresh models that people will enthusiastically buy in a discount box. AM just got a reworked SC that will presumably be around for a while as GW gradually phase out the current SC line. It is strange that there is no SC for Custodes. Schedules are obviously wonky for the foreseeable future though so who knows really.

Blood of the phoenix...

Knights are a tricky one.. Coz well two very expensive models make an army. They have a slightly discounted box which includes a terrain piece + 2 big nights and 2 baby knights..
Its basically an army in a box as it has a castellan and valiant and two amigers. So that's a start collecting I guess ?

So 3 factions (quins and custards have about the same number of kits...) which have about 10 kits each don't have a SC box?
That's probably due to product line redundancy and popularity rather than anything else. Im not going to deny the marine favouritism, coz lets be absolutely clear GW has clear marine favouritism when it comes to their product lines as well as games rules. But in this case I dont think it applies and one could even argue means they get the short end of the stick while everyone else(those that have them) still gets to benfit form the superior value SC boxes.

If anything SM are the chief beneficiaries of the IOM favouritism... Like if you want to have a named harlequinn character you have to play SOB/ IOM

I expect the Ad mech to get a combat patrol when they get thier codex, which should be early next year along with drukhari and Orks

The custodes didn't really need a SC, 1 squad box got you 1 HQ, 1 Elite Character, and a squad of 3 Troops. So I don't expect a lot from any Combat Patrol bix

Would we expect an ad mech combat patrol already? They just recently had a new start collecting set

They said when books get updated

Got massively off topic here from the new BA Combat Patrol box, if someone wishes to start a new topic about the Combat Patrol boxes in general then please do so.
