Warhammer 40,000 Combat Patrol - Issue 1 Opening & Contents
มุมมอง 3.2K7 หลายเดือนก่อน
Issue 1 is available in select areas as part of Hachette's trial run. In this video I go through this first issue and explore the contents. This issue was found in the shop window of a WHSmith in the UK. For lots of excellent and detailed information about this magazine, I highly recommend checking out the 'FauxHammer' website.
Thank you very much for making this series, I was curious what would be in the magazines. Seems like fun overall.
super excited for the subscription purely because most of the models are cool for building and painting for me, not fussed at all about it not having useable armies because i really don't intend to play - can see why people wouldn't be happy though that's fair. plus if i change my mind, i can just grab the nice value dread/tyrant and cancel :)
My friend got blocked off Darren Latham and called 'innapropriate' for messaging him. All he did was ask why they're ugly.
I'm ok with losing the wings (not a big fan) but for something else not for nothing. They need a special thing who tells you "this is a elite unit". I was hopping for a primarch like model for the sanguinor and it's just a "hd" version 😢
These helmets predated stormcast in real life lol
I prefer them
The helmets being death masks are more important then the wings
Was just standard masks on the front cover of the box way back I didn't use the dante wanabs sigmars ancestor decendant lol
Did they also make the Sanguinor Primaris too!?!?!?!?!
I actually dislike the Sanguinor the most as it feels like a wasted opportunity to make a huge centrepiece model. The sanguinary guard suck but at least I have enough stuff in my bits box to fix that quite easily

The new Sanguinary Guard aren't more detailed though. They have realistic "tru scale" proportions and that's literally it. Everything else is a step down. Each torso and leg pair is bespoke and unique in the original kit - the Primaris Sanguinary Guard are literally copy and pasted CAD-by-intern jobs. There is no detailing or character to them. The original Sanguinary Guard were individual characters in their own right. The helmets which PREDATE the Stormcast are references to Mordred in the movie "Excalibur". What's crazy with the Sanguinor model is that the new plastic version has far LESS unique details due to laziness.
All of the new models, which are awfull and generic, look worse than the ones they will send out of production. There is now NO reason to start a blood Angels army. It has absolutely no bite and no spark
The wings were so beautiful 🥲
They dont look 'elete' they look bland.
40k becoming successful has led to the setting becoming super Generic and it's sad
I have had little complaints about all of the other stuff revealed, but by far the guard are the worst. I get recasts are frowned upon for being illegally made and all that, but its a good way to cheaply access the cool bits from the old sanguinary guard that could be used to make these ones a lot better. Im also planning on doing some green stuff sculpting. I also just find it odd how inconsistent the sanguinius death masks are between these guys and dante and the old ones. These are also the first time i have actually seen the tactical rocks like they are tripping the guys
I like the HQs, but I can't defend the new Sanguinary Guard or Death Company. They're painfully bland, generic, and nurffed. They turned the Blood Angels into the Genesis Chapter (Ultramarines in red). Black Templars and Dark Angels got better treatment. WTF GW?
Models are extremely disappointing. Everything far too generic. Sanguinor looks like a statue. All the iconography and heraldry has gone, the wings have been clipped....a sad sad reveal. Dante , Astorath and lemartes cool, but the rest can stay on the shelves for me. Think I can feel the red thirst and black rage coming on.....👊
I agree - Astorath and Lemartes have been the highlight of these reveals. Sanguinary Guard are the worst offenders, just feels like such a downgrade. There was no need to make everything so plain.
Warhammer fan 4 months ago..."I hate the old models, they look ugly and the wings are tacky!" Warhammer fan now.."I hate the new models there are no wings and I love wings!" Conclusion=grown men who spend money on models are not stable
Thank you for sharing your perspective.
Just keep consuming… Don’t question anything
Grown man coming on social media to complain about out others opinions. Life goals bro
Thx for Video. I agree to 100% 😢
Thank you for the comment. I really appreciate it.
primaris-fying ruining special units .
Yep. The most annoying thing is it doesn't have to ruin it, if they just refreshed them and increased the scale they'd have been fine. But instead we get a downgrade.
also you get 3 sangunary guard for your money instead of 5 . so that alone dosent worth getting them
The printer goes burrrr. Gdubs seems hellbent on making everything generic and expensive.
Thanks for the comment. I have to agree, they just keep giving less but charging more.
minimal effort max profit
Thanks 👌
I started my first Army at the beginning of 10th edition.. over the past year I've purchased over 10,000 points of deathwatch and spent $4960 (800 of which was just divergent chapter pauldrons and DW pauldrons) I'll be forced into only playing the index and detachment rules we were given in the beginning. Casually how it's been with nothing new. I've spent too much and invested too much time over the past year to be interested in purchasing an agent army just to play my deathwatch or to play as basic Marines that look like deathwatch.
Duuuuude, that's nuts. So sad to see what is happening to Deathwatch. I hope you manage to still have fun with them.
Watching this while working and just lost it at the tac rock comment. Lol 😂
And i was excited for the tactical rock codex.....
Haha! I'm sure it is just a matter of time :D
I am afraid you get screwed over no matter which country you are in when it comes to single character RRP
I couldn't agree more.
Anyone know where i can get the subscription for the Magazines?
You will be able to subscribe here once it goes live in the UK- hachettepartworks.com/en-en/warhammer-40000-combat-patrol/ The subscription was open during the trial run and will re-open closer/on release. It will be out late August.
Subscribed for the tactical rocks.
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed!
Are the additional units going to have combat patrol rules?
Hi, no the additional units will not be playable in the Combat Patrol game mode, only in regular Warhammer 40,000.
You can guarantee the units will be split across two issues.
The best ones will, for sure.
Do these changes make those 3 armies illegal in the current combat patrol format?
Hey. No they do not interfere with the Combat Patrol lists. So the way it works is each army will get their Combat Patrol + some additional models. The ones they have swapped out here are from those additional models you get, rather than the Combat Patrols, as otherwise they would be illegal as you say. I think the additional models are essentially a way of tempting you to increase your army further, because you have these additional models you can't use in the Combat Patrol mode, but could use in regular 40K if you expanded your army a bit more.
@@PlasticKrakenWargaming smashing thanks very much.
Great video
Thank you! :)
I think a pertinent question when it comes to the "increased value" is how many of the unit-replacing-characters will be spread across multiple issues? Seems to me that any multi-sprue kit will be supplied one sprue per issue, (sometimes you get just the bases in a third issue!) so it's actually most likely a stealth "price rise" or lowering of overall value. I always found these partworks magazines a great way to pick up a couple each of GW super-overpriced character models.
A good point. They can certainly hamstring the value by splitting kits across multiple issues. Picking up just the characters you want (but wouldn't pay full price for) seems like a smart move to me.
I agree, subscription is useless for most players. It will mostly benefit scalpers! Only one shoot from one faction. 40k's patrol mode is bad, boring and unbalanced. Most of these patrols are outdated (v9), GW is changing them all to v10. I hope GW will make a spearhead equivalent to 40k, the game looks much better and has good replayability. Paint and tools are a bad deal too! GW is expensive when there are many hobbies brand with products just as good and much cheaper.
Thank you for the comment. Those are good points. I also hope GW build upon what Spearhead is bringing to the table. I think Combat Patrol is a good idea that was poorly executed. I think the next iteration could be a lot better if they use Spearhead as the basis.
@@PlasticKrakenWargamingyes good Idea, spearhead IS the good way. I Hope too.
I have a Forbidden Planet on my route home from work so always been cherry picking these partworks magazines.
Nice! That must be really handy. I used to have a WH Smiths I could nip to on my lunch break, which was great for picking up issues. Now I work from home I have to rely on getting them through the post from Forbidden Planet for the most part, so have to be on the ball when new issues go live.
Sadly no value for current gamers :( Imperium was amazing
Yeah, Imperium was much better for building up a decent couple of forces. I suppose the value for current gamers would just be in being able to pick up individual issues to top up your army with a new character or grab a unit you were going to get anyway, but for a discount. But when it comes to subscribing, current gamers for sure get less out of it.
I was gonna get it but tbh I just got a 3d printer for terrain and now im on the other side of the fence i dont think ill be buying much gw ever again their prices are just insane
Thanks for the comment. I think more and more people are going to follow the same approach, to be honest. It has always been expensive but the price rises keep coming and they keep pushing their luck. I don't know how they expect new generations of kids to get into the hobby when everything is so damn expensive. I really only buy heavily discounted Warhammer items now (since I don't have a 3d printer or space for one currently). So deals via a magazine, sales or some sort of value box are the only time I buy anything really. Hope the 3d printer is going well for you and you get to print some awesome new terrain to enjoy :)
@@PlasticKrakenWargaming i did used to feel bad but honeatly gw clearly have no regard for anything other than increased profits. For example mate i printed an exocrine last night thats 50 to 60 quid from gw or £1.94 in resin to print one thats tougher and in better quality.. I have 2 set up in an enclosure it takes up about 2 feet squared of space. Ive spent over 2 thousand this year alone on myself and my sons warhammer im just not prepared to do it anymore
I will be subscribing to the magazines, I play like half of the armies, and the ones I don't, I have friends that do.
Nice, I hope you enjoy. Sounds like it is pretty ideal in your case then. Anything you a particularly excited to get? For me it's more CSM Terminators, Forgefiend, Hellbrute and doubling up on the World Eater models.
@@PlasticKrakenWargaming All of the Imperial Guard, and Aeldari stuff, and the Chaplain on bike. The only faction that I don't have a friend who plays it is Genestealer Cult, but I'm sure I'll be able to sell them.
I definitely dont want to subscribe to the whole magazine but I live in the US and im not really sure how ill get individual issues. But theres certain issues id love to get my hands on. I started with Tyranids right when 10th edition launched and while i dont love them my friend is interested in Tyranids and wants to buy the army from me. That said, the main things ill be after out of the magazine are CSM and World Eaters units. Im in love with Chaos and want to get some more experience with building their models to see if i want to fully commit to an army
Thank you for the comment. I hope you get the magazines before too long then and that you can somehow pick up the individual issues you want. I love Chaos the most too, so I am also excited to pick up those issues. I hope you fall to the chaos gods, in the best possible way and join our ranks for good. :)
@PlasticKrakenWargaming oh I've fallen alright. I fell in love with death guard and have whole heartedly embraced papa nurgle. I even got some nurglings and war dogs as allies, but who knows if they'll turn into full daemon and knight armies respectively. At this point I know chaos is my favorite for sure. Any tips for getting ahold of the issues in the US?
The combat patrol subscription was looking pretty terrible value, so these changes are a welcome change, its just a shame they have gone with the space marine and tyranids in the set as most newbies or Leviathan buyers will have those.
I think its decent enough value, but you are right about leaning in to tyranids and space marines. As a returning player i bought the ultimate starter set (couldnt get hold of leviathan in time for xmas) so i have alot of the models. However i struggled to choose a chapter so having extra models will be nice to paint different chapters
I hear you. Having those be the first run of issues means I'm not as excited for the actual launch as it will be a while before the next army's issues start coming out. However, I get that Space Marines are recognisable to a wider audience, so having those early issues include Space Marines will mean more people are likely to pick it up. Are there any armies included you are interested in?
Ultimate Starter Set was still decent I think, but yes a lot of crossover here. The first issue especially is great though if you just want to get yourself a cheap space marine model to practice paint schemes on.
@@PlasticKrakenWargaming I wanted to get a few of each army. but I already have 2 leviathan boxes made up, so I don't need more of them 😂 it's such a shame.
Blame your import and tax rules, If I have to pay import on something from America you have to pay import for something from England I won't mindlessly defend the price creep it is wrong, but the extra you pay is because governments are greedy.
The price creep feels out of control to be honest. They just keep pushing the rhetoric of not being immune to price increases etc, despite their huge margins and end of year financials. Their products might not always be in good supply, but there's plenty of greed to go around it seems.
@PlasticKrakenWargaming yeh tax etc aside the shrinkflation and constant yearly creeps on models that have already made their return on design and development is stupid. My main gripe was the cost of the 10 bezerkers before the new prints. Same models 15 years ago a box of 20 for around half the price.
Yeah, not gonna subscribe to this, just get my local WH Smiths to reserve me a single copy of each issue. I've really not interested in all the free subscription gifts as having subbed to Conquest, Mortal Realms, Imperium and Stormbringer, I've more then got enough clippers and mugs..... And the specials lately haven't really impressed me much with their quite random Character Specials that don't fit in with the armies provided....
Yeah the special models have really gone downhill. Are WH Smiths cool with you saying I want Issue 70, 72, 74 etc? Or will they only do it if you pick up literally every issue, even if it's just a paint issue for example? Curious to know. I'd love an arrangement like that with my local one because they are quite hit and miss with their support of the magazines.
@@PlasticKrakenWargaming They may try to get in every issue for you, however if you miss several issues the supply chain tends to stop sending in issues, which means you then have to ask the staff to order it back in again, at least in my experience in my local store with the Stormbringer partwork, didn't have that problem so much with Imperium before it.
How do you know the contents this early on? Are you just working from what is in combat patrol boxes?
Hi, thank you for commenting. So, Hachette have shown a photo of the full collection and recently confirmed the changes in this video via an email to subscribers. We know which combat patrols are included, as well as which additional models will appear. also know specifically which models come in the first few issues (the first 4 of which were available as part of a trial run earlier in the year, which I was able to get and make videos about). I cannot recommend the following site enough, this will eventually list ahead of time exactly which models come in every issue. www.fauxhammer.com/news/warhammer-40000-combat-patrol-magazine-contents-list-issues-1-80/ or just search 'Fauxhammer combat patrol' and it will come up. They are an amazing resource and they have been making these content lists for the previous Warhammer magazines like Imperium, Conquest, Stormbringer etc. The only thing we do not know is what 'optional' extra models might be included - in previous subscriptions they had these occasional extra bonus issues every so often which they will send you and charge you for unless you opt out - those typically are not known about in advance (they send out a letter about this in the shipment before it will arrive, to give you a chance to opt out). I hope that helps!
Me and a couple of friends got a single subscription between us and splitting it probably the only way a subscription would work for us.
That's awesome. I think that is hands down the best way to do it if you can. I hope you all enjoy and get to have some great games together.
As a newbie who just want to paint for now and doesn’t know what I would play after. I think I'm gonna subcribe because It's just impossible to find a specific issue here...
Welcome! :) If you are in the UK and have not tried Forbidden Planet, they are excellent for getting specific issues. You do have to be on the ball though as the best issues go fast. Otherwise subscribing is the best way to ensure you definitely get the issues you want. I hope you enjoy!
It's also easy to get them in WHSmiths in the UK. Have picked up more from there a few times.
@@PlasticKrakenWargaming Unfortunately, I am from France and ironically I find it difficult to find the hachette collections in store here
