Emprah2508 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Have you guys seen the board game gw have coming out soon. https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Lost-Patrol-EN what are your thoughts on this. In my opinion I don't see the point of it, yes it is a new board game but models wise it's just scouts and genestealers in coloured plastic.

Charlo Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 It's a remake of an old boardgame.... That no one really remembers? It's for toy shops and such really. A gateway purchase into the hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricPaladin Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 The boardgame is probably fun. I've heard good things about all GW's recent box games. However, it's a shame that the minis aren't updated at all from the scout sprues currently available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Makes it more of a money maker for GW, which in the end we profit from. So I'm okay with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I am owed a Calth box by a fellow frater... But I'm almost tempted to wait for the next one incase it had better kits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudan Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I'm very happy to see these boxes being produced, but I've no intention of buying one. I actually like the old metal scouts better. I have no time for bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_F_H Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 well... no matter how i look at it, i need more neophytes, and since i have Space hulk v3 and v4, and deathstorm, and will pick up deathwatch overkill, i have accepted that i have a Tyranid army now, so the more the merrier...

Ever since the release of this one there have been rumours, all but confirmed by Lady Atia of a successor. Especially as the individual Calth kits get released separately. Once that happens we'll get a NEW Horus Heresy box, with different units in plastic. My hope is for it to be based on Phall, so we get some breachers, mk2/3 armour and then maybe a different dread, jetbikes or rapiers perhaps? TL;DR: Charlo wants a MkII/III Marine squad that doesn't cost him £28 + Weapons + Postage :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Seems legit :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tyler Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 While the artwork features the Blood Angels, this is not a "Blood Angels" discussion. It is about the Lost Patrol game so belongs in the Other Games forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's breachers, I'm going to build my current squad up to 20 and add some alternate special weapons guys (I hate magnetizing infantry and don't usually bother).
