I mean it is not a terrible box from what I have seen. Pair it with the Blood Angel box and you got a pretty solid force for the most part. Hellblasters in the Impulsor with a Gravis Captain in the Aggressors. Can run the Raven Guard detachment for the Captain to infiltrate with the other infiltrators you got for early board presence.
Probably better off picking up a copy of Azrael and a box of 10 hellblasters instead of the new combat patrol. The 9ed Dark Angels CP box and the Blood Angels CP box will get you a solid Space Marine starting force.
@@wutebear9656 I picked up Leviathan, The Deathwing box The Honored of the chapter recently. I picked up Azrael, The Lion and two boxes of the old deathwing command squad last year second hand. I was a bit sad the DW command squad got replaced the day I got them since GW announced the knights that day.
@smashingsnow looks like you and I have similar buying habits. You're well on your way to bring down the wrath of the Lion. The good news is you can always use older termies as proxies. I loved the Deathwing Apothecary model, oh well GW is always going to GW.
@@wutebear9656 Oh yeah for sure. I pre ordered Asmodai, The Cypher book and a box of inner circle companions last Saturday. I was hoping to grab the Lazarus book but that sold out immediately.
I'm pretty sad my local GS ran out of old DA combat patrol boxes. Would have liked to get it to add to my daughter's Space Marine, and have another CP to play later. Oh well.
I like Intercessors, I have 20 and looking forward to making another unit or two. They're fun to kitbash with newer sets. Worst case scenario, they're extra Tacticus bodies you can convert into other units. Give them spare combi-weapons from Sternguard and you'll have an extra Veteran squad. Buy/print some jump packs and make Vanguard Veterans out of them with spare chainswords and pistols. Make more lieutenants. Source some plasma guns and make Hellblasters. Possibilities are endless.
I think the general consensus is that any 9ed space marine combat patrol with 10 intercessors just isn't as good as one with only 5. Its hard to compare the Blood Angels CP and Dark Angels CP against Space Wolves CP and the Deathwatch CP. This new Dark Angels CP is fine for a beginner, but I miss most CPs having a centerpiece model or character.
Please note that the old CP rules will most likely not stay around for download on the WHC page for much longer. So while those rules should be considered legal, they will not be available once the new CP file goes online to replace the old one. It is odd that the AM file for the old CP box is still around, but as far as I can tell it is the only example of an older box still having downloadable rules around.

This combat is intended for new players , 90% of current players should have the models. Look at this like a start collecting thing.
while not starting with this product, I own a dark imperium SM half and this is really similar. thanks for the pointers on how to expand on this

I recently picked up the old dark angels box and was thinking about getting the blood angel one and the newer dark angel one

If you're in the US and fine with buying from bigger companies, I've seen some on Amazon and Ebay for not unreasonable prices.
I just got one from Amazon. They are still pretty affordable there.
Thank you for this review. 👍
10 intercessors is too many for any one already playing space marines

All CP's are going to get worse. Prepare your butts.
Yea. Not a viable product as the prices rise.
Where did you find the Datasheets? Are other languages already available?
Thanks in advance for the answer!
Really digging your Cp videos!

Both cp rules are on the app, so I think these will stay for the edition
Very dumb that they put the old upgrade sprues in it instead of the new one. If it was the new upgrade sprues I would buy it
What a let down of the new box. GW should have put in 17 intercessors and 7 assault intercessors and 2 scouts 😅
