I picked up a replica of Warhammer 40,000: Boarding Actions yesterday. It comprises guidelines and situations for taking part in battles aboard voidships and area hulks within the forty first millennium! I’ve a PILE of the spaceship inside terrain from that 12 months of shopping for all of the Kill Crew units (which I by no means received round to taking part in – and even assembling!)
I figured I’ve it, I would as effectively paint it up and use it.
One factor that’s stunning about this ebook is that it’s nearly ALL guidelines and situations… like, nearly 300 pages of it. There are over fifty situations, guidelines amendments for preventing shipboard battles and guidelines for constructing boarding events for all of the factions – with a minimal background fluff!!
Whereas I used to be at my FLGS, I additionally picked up White Dwarf #511 from April. It’s a particular subject specializing in the Emperor’s Kids… since I am taking part in Emperor’s youngsters, I figured it is likely to be useful – if just for portray inspiration.
There I did know that it included the foundations for utilizing Emperor’s Kids in Boarding Actions (because the Boarding Actions guidelines don’t embody them because it was revealed earlier than there even was an Emperor’s Kids faction – different than simply utilizing the generic Chaos House Marines guidelines and calling them Emperor’s Kids).
I used to be delighted to seek out the journal additionally included and alternate Emperor’s Kids Fight Patrol. The usual Fight Patrol – which is on the market as a field set – contains models which I don’t personal (like, $140 price of models!). In some unspecified time in the future I used to be resigned to purchasing it sooner or later… however the Emperor’s Kids Fight Patrol included within the journal is made up of THINGS I ALREADY OWN!? YAY!! Thoughts you, half of it’s issues I nonetheless want to color… however each models had been on the portray precedence record, already, so…
The disappointing factor concerning the journal was the Emperor’s Kids in Boarding Social gathering guidelines… there are solely two FOUR models you’re allowed to take!? Two characters; Lucious the Everlasting (an Epic Hero) and a Lord Kakophonist (each of which I would not have and wasn’t planning to choose up any time quickly!?). No Lord Exultant… No Sorcerers… and Two Infantry Models; Flawless Blades and Terminiator Squads. No Infractors… No Tormentors… (the core troops) Not even Noise Marines…!? WTF!?
Ah effectively… It is not like I’ve any of the terrain painted but. It is not like I’ve a scarcity of different armies I will be capable of discipline in Boarding Actions…
Guess perhaps I is likely to be choosing up that Fight Patrol in spite of everything.. (to get the Flawless Blades!)
This month’s White Dwarf is one other particular targeted on Khorne… so… perhaps I will be shopping for that one too…
