This weekend I'm planning a little throwback gaming - Warhammer 40,000, 4th Edition, Combat Patrol! Fourth Edition is the only version of the game that I ever played with any kind of regularity, and the only one I manged to paint an army to use.
For the upcoming games, we'll be using the Combat Patrol rules from the back of the rulebook. It's essentially the same game, but you can only use small (400pt.) forces. I've assembled mine!
Here's the force list:
Inquisitor Squad
Inquisitor +20
Power Armour +10
Power Armour +10
Power
Weapon +15
Needle Pistol +5
Warrior w/ Plasma Gun +20
Warrior w/ Melta Gun +20
Sage +10
Sage +10
Rhino Transport +50 (Subtotal: 160)
Storm Trooper Squad 1
Storm Trooper w/ Plasma Gun +20
5 x Storm Troopers +50
Rhino Transport +50 (Subtotal: 120)
Storm Troper Squad 2
Storm Trooper w/ Melta Gun +20
5 x Storm Troopers +50
Rhino Transport +50 (Subtotal: 120)
Total: 400pts.
Needle Pistol +5
Warrior w/ Plasma Gun +20
Warrior w/ Melta Gun +20
Sage +10
Sage +10
Rhino Transport +50 (Subtotal: 160)
Storm Trooper w/ Plasma Gun +20
5 x Storm Troopers +50
Rhino Transport +50 (Subtotal: 120)
Storm Trooper w/ Melta Gun +20
5 x Storm Troopers +50
Rhino Transport +50 (Subtotal: 120)
It's probably not a very 'good' list, but then the Demonhunters were never a particularly good army unless they took Grey Knights. I don't care. They look awesome, and I'm going to have fun with them, even if they get wiped out.

That's a smashing looking force.
Is one of the sages called Anne Onions?
These are looking great!
ReplyDeleteI note with some amusement that this would be about 2000pts in first or second editions!
ReplyDelete2000 or 400, it's a handsome little army.
Looks good Joe. No one expects the Inquisition, except when they turn upon bright red painted vehicles covered with symbols.
ReplyDeleteI think small games are good for 40k and especially the earlier editions prevent you from being destroyed in the first turn.
Yes!
ReplyDeleteThis is, and no joke, the kind of army that nade me fall in love with 40k.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
