I think i'll have to try that, probably phone first and ask rather than go all the way only to find there is none.

Do we have a full breakdown of all the issues yet?

No, but I don't think we tend to, do we?

Their website doesn't even show the contents of next week's issue! They usually give a preview a week or two ahead, so I don't know what's different this time.

My guess would be termagants. It's a two parter release called 'unleash the swarm', after all. We've got Infernus marines and commanders and some special Tyranid units - but we're lacking the flesh waves. So given the title in question and pictures of termagants, that's what it'll likely be. Each sprue set is cut with 10 termagants and a ripper swarm, and in the original picture of Combat Patrol's complete contents had 20 termagants and 2 ripper swarms, that holds together.



They seem to want to do this in themed sets together, probably in a 1v1 format, so I expect the next ones after that will feature the remaining SM and tyranid contents before we move onto other factions. So we should expect to see in the upcoming several after those (assuming a few paint issues):

-Psychophage
-Terminators
-Parasite of Mortrex
-Chaplain on Bike
-Terminator Librarian

Issue six on FP.

Yes I believe they will do a vs type theme that will change every 20 issues and if the premium content is anything to go by the next group will be Eldar V Chaos, then Leagues of Squats fighting Orks, Imperial Guard against Genestealer Cult and the last ten issues being Chaos Khorne or undivided depending on who goes with Eldar.

This is just speculation and could well be wrong.

Dumb question: can you make hormagaunts from the termagant sprue?

No. They're totally separate kits nowadays.

Far as I recall they've always been separate kits. Even way way back when Tyranids first appeared they were fully separate.

Stat wise the main difference is guns or claws, but model wise they've always been individual .

The kits were compatible though. You could swap heads and the front pair of gun/claw arms to add some variety to your swam.

Not from anywhere official as such. But normally that guy over at Fauxhammer somehow gets his hands on an issue list. I just don't particularly want to venture to his absolutely cluttered mess of a blog to find it.

They used to come with both horm- and term- sprues in the same box.

Unfortunately, he does appear to be the person that Hachette go to for their community liaison.

Not him being the 'unfortunately' but, as you say, the website.

Issue 5 has come back in stock at Forbidden planet, so managed to order one.

Quite annoying how their postage costs work now though. £3.50 for a single item, £5 for more than 1. But pre-orders can only be a separate order (a different one for each date of release) and with no option to combine them / wait...there are a few other things I was going to order from them, and even though this issue releases in less than 2 days and would likelyeither be dispatched tomorrow or wednesday, and even though those other items would also be dispatched over the next few days as they're in stock, there's no way to have them both sent out together so it costs postage twice for orders that could have been sent out together..

Tempted to pay them a visit, but to be honest its wise not to, since there are things there far more dangerous than Combat patrol.
I think these magazines are just hard to get individualy these days.

Fauxhammer now has a list of the first 20 magazines contents.

Termies and Termagants are both split in two parts, sadly

Wait a minute, we're getting forty termagaunts in total?!

I've already painted forty from two Leviathan box sets, I'm gonna go fethin' cross-eyed!

Edit: Or maybe ten slip over issues 7-8 and again 17-18.

The Termagants and Terminators are also shown to be the multi part kits rather than the sorues from Leviathan so I am not sure how reliable that is.

Termigant multipart kits are just an extra sprue on top of the leviathan ones, right?

Correct. Unless they made new ones when I wasn’t looking.
and you can use pretty much all the extra sprue if you have spare basic bodies.

Yeah its the same kit as Leviathan just with the extra arms for the specialist weapons.

Had completely forgotten that about the Termagants, that said the upgrade sprue is absent from the 'Nid Combat Patrol box I believe? Genuinely hope that the upgrade sprue is part of the magazine series. If it is the 10 Termagants could be parsed out into 2 sprues with each of the 2 Termagant issues.

All that really grabs me is the Librarian for space hulk shenanigans.

If the bikes weren't so awful maybe a chaplain on a bike. Thought the Nid models would be a bit more fun? I admit I have been out of loop for a while. Anyway roll on vehicles that can be used for necromunda!

It would be helpful if the extra weapon sprues were included for the Termigants. It would definitely make those issues feel more worthwhile.

Auspex Tactics usually does a video with updates.

It's usually just the information from Fauxhammer but you don't have to use that terrible website at least.

Picked up issue 5 from Forbidden Planet today. From the images from the back of the issue for issues 7 and 8 it looks like no upgrade sprue and the 10 Termagants and Ripper Swarm are spread over the 2 issues rather than 20 over the two.

Finally got issues 1 and 2 from Hachette with my premium gifts if a pair of clippers and a thing for removing mold lines.

Exactly the same for me. I can't wait for the Orks and GC vehicles, they will be put to good use in my future Ash Wastes campaign
