Brother Glacius Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 Trying to see if anyone in ordo might have one that they are willing to part with. I want to start playing some combat patrol games of 40K. Just don't seem to have a hellbrute for my Chaos Marines. Hopefully someone can help me out.

Ish Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 Don’t have one, so I can’t help you out, but I wanted to chime in and say I hope Combat Patrol catches on. Very small format WH40k – bigger than Kill Team, but not huge – just seems like a great opportunity to do all those neat modeling projects I’ve day dreamed about over the years… But without having to commit the money, time, money, storage space, and money to making into a full army. Like… I’ve kinda always wanted to do something with Catachan Jungle Fighters. But I don’t want a hundred of the swole lil bastards plus dozens of supporting vehicles. Twenty-five of ‘em, plus a pair of field artillery pieces, and a single walker? Easy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 seems like lots of printable options for a nice proxy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 Pick your favorite Gundam mobile suit, get the 1:100 or 1:144 scale gunpla model, and glue it to a base. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted July 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 Well I found one this morning....so yay...I did have one. We will just skip past the part where I lost track of a $70 kit. As to the future of combat patrol, I don't really see one unless GW keeps releasing new ones. Apparently, the CPs are specifically "balanced". I went through the ones I have models for and the base point range goes from 375 to over 500. And like the Admech one has anti-air weapons and yet no other CP has air units. So GW is completely talking out of its ass. Oh, and some of the cards are missing abilities too. Heck the Space Wolf one has a dude that isn't even in the list. There is no Battle Leader on foot. There is Battle Leader on Wolf, or Battle Leader in terminator armor...but no plain battle leader. I will admit that I've just started to look into it...so maybe GW has said that typical 500pt armies are fine to play in combat patrol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 The Combat Patrol datacards are meant to be missing abilities on some units, likewise some units have extra abilities not found on their WH40k counterparts. Every faction also has different stratagems, different secondary objectives, different relics, et cetera than you see in standard WH40k. It’s really best to think of Combat Patrol as a separate game in the greater 40k franchise than as “500 Point” games of WH40k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 I haven’t gone through all of the Combat Patrol rules, but it looks like the one with the most “points” if you were to try to make the same list in standard WH40k would be the Adeptus Custodes. They work out to be 480 Points if you use the jetbikes or 400 Points if you use the Guardians (The Custodes are the only CP set that I know of that doesn’t get to use everything in the box). Contrariwise, the one that seems to have the least “points” if built for standard WH40k is probably the Imperial Guard at 385 Points. But the Guard have some very powerful enhancements/stratagems. Likewise, the Custodes lose some of their best tricks. Is it perfectly balanced? Nah, probably not. Is it decently balanced enough for fun casual games for new players and existing players that just want to dabble in a sideline faction? I think so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted July 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 Okay, updated the post. I actually need a hellbrute. Go figure. And yes, I'm sure I don't have one this time. I used to have like three, but you know how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalmer Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 Hello there, I probably have a bunch in the pile o' retirement. Do you need on sprue? Already built and obtained from an army purchase okay? Any specifics are appreciated and I can dig through the stacks tonight. Stay safe, don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted July 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 Plasma cannon and hellbrute hammer would be the preferred combo, but really any would be fine. Unpainted or primed would be best if assembled, but I'm not too picky all in all. Thanks Don. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrButcherMD Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 The best I can do is a Dark Vengeance Helbrute. Also, Im down for any and all combat patrol games. Ive got a board set up in my spare bedroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 I think I’ve got the old monopose multimelta and claw one from Dark Vengeance kicking around somewhere. It’s yours if I can find it (and you’ll need to strip the paint job). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalmer Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 ... just confirmed that there are only Dark Vengeance Helbrutes. Monopose type. Holler if that'll work, apologies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted July 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 None necessary. I'd prefer an unpainted one or primed only if that is okay. Willing to meet at WoW or GG if that works. Don't mind paying a fair price for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalmer Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 I'll send you one for free, but I'm in Blaine, WA (98230) / basically the Canadian border so it'll take a spell. don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
