39 thoughts on “Two New Warhammer 40K Discount Sets – Boarding Patrol Boxes for Aeldari and Drukhari”
Can't wait to see the Ork boarding patrol. Some old plastic minis from 1994-2000 era and monopose Boyz. What an embarrassment. Can't even get a plastic weirdboy….
The Drukhari box would give me a nice boost in Wytches and Incubi for my fledgling Drukhari army Edit: I've also had a hard time finding a standard Succubus, rather than Lelith Hesperax
Coincidentally I’ve been playing this exact list for Boarding Actions, it’s very effective. The spell with Voidscared is really useful, I’ve been using Guide. Banshees are fantastic in BA games. Jain works much better than in competitive play
Just me selfishly asking yall to buy the corsairs boxset, they're great in drukhari armies, good in asuryani armies, & I want them to have a codex once again XD
The Aeldari one is interesting because my FLGS can never get Howling Banshees in stock, but aside from those I’ve got plenty of Corsairs & Jain Zar already.
The Drukhari set looks like a good start for an army.
As a CWE player, my response to the Aeldari box is… “Meh.” I already have a slew of Banshees on my shelf, and the Corsairs and Jainey don’t fit in my list. The only temptation the box offers me is that the Corsairs and Jainey are cool AF models!
im actually really tempted by the eldar one i dont collect eldar, but all of the models in it are ones that i quite like, especially jain herself im genuinly tempted, £55 (yay 3rd party retailer discount) for 500 pts of a new army, could genuinly be fun
Will definitely get the corsair one. I love corsairs and already have a set from KT Nachmund and I also got Yriel. Jain Zar is also awesome and I have been thinking of getting her for quite some time
With the Corsairs in the Aeldari box, it's a total fail for me. Not interested at all in adding Corsairs to a Craftworld army despite the discount. The Dukhari is a bit more attractive, even if the discount and total points are not as good as the Craftworld box.
The Eldar one would be good if I didn't already have Jain Zar and 10 corsairs. I don't need 30 corsairs. If it had been 10 corsairs, (5 dark reapers or other unit besides rangers or guardians), 5 banshees and Maugan Ra, I would have been tempted
Oh sweet Star Chilren, don't tempt me… (I love Eldar… but I must focus on my one army until it's done… *but damn tho*)
Edit – to explain better – I've had a deep, deep desire to do something with those Corsair minis since I first saw them. They fit perfectly with an old, old Craftworld idea I had 15+ years ago… It's just a shame there's no way I can jump on this cause I feel like GW went into the depths of my brain and said "Yes. This one weirdo. Do their overly specific thing."
The eldar one I like. Want everything in there. Drukhari is neat but I already have a number of incubi and I think there is an upper limit on how many I should own
I'm probably looking to get both. The Aeldari boxsets gives the corsairs I can use for Yannri, Aeldari and Drukhari. My main army is Drukhari therefore the box will fluff my troop numbers up especially for certain load outs.
Question. I thought that for Aeldari that the corsairs could only be included in a patrol with prince Yriel as an HQ and only with. other corsair/ anrathe units. However, I dont really use corsairs, so I am probably mistaken. Just wondering how this work as a functioning army using them with Jain Zar and Banshees
Elder in general is something I want to get into I might pick both up but I doubt that'll happen I .ight just get the aeldari box when it releases and get the drukhari box later on
It always baffles me why you would sell a box for a specific detachment (combat patrol or Boarding Action) and not provide enough points for a full list. You are turning people away from the hobby.

Drukhari one is garbage. Incubi are already in patrol box and 20 wyches? Why not simply 10 and any other cult unit? And ofcourse no coven unit at all…
More Corsairs! More!
Ahem. I mean. Tempting.
The drukhari one is tempting for me would be a better buy for me if not for the Succubus as I already have one
Thought I recognised your voice playing next to me tonight beating Sam!!
I think they said the CSM Boarding Patrol box would also have the Kill Team upgrade sprue in it
No clowns?
im actually really tempted by the eldar one
i dont collect eldar, but all of the models in it are ones that i quite like, especially jain herself
im genuinly tempted, £55 (yay 3rd party retailer discount) for 500 pts of a new army, could genuinly be fun
That would have been an ideal place to fit in Prince Yriel. Missed opportunity there.

Incubi and wyches is a wierd mix considering incubi are generally part of kabalite armies

very boring boxes, sadly
I do like the patrols, hopefully the next set will be cooler =)
In my humble opinion the start collecting were way better combat patrols are complete hot dog water
100% want the coursairs.
I'll probably pick up the Drukhari one. I need to bulk up my Alliance of Agony, and I do love Wyches. Hopefully they do a Covens box soon…
the dark eldar one screams "we haven't sold enough wyches"
The Eldar one would be good if I didn't already have Jain Zar and 10 corsairs. I don't need 30 corsairs. If it had been 10 corsairs, (5 dark reapers or other unit besides rangers or guardians), 5 banshees and Maugan Ra, I would have been tempted
CSM is worst , noone want this shity cultist boxes with no options
Gross and too similar, in my opinion!
Those corsair models look great and fit perfectly on the lore of the boarding actions 👀
Hey look corsairs in Y’nnari colors
So one for quins would just be a few boxes of troupes and maybe a shadowseer kinda boring from a marketing standpoint I would think
Oh sweet Star Chilren, don't tempt me… (I love Eldar… but I must focus on my one army until it's done… *but damn tho*)

I'm going to get the Corsair box.

Thank you for the news, but I sleep until Orks, T'au, or Vodann come up.
Technically the Legionaires in the CSM Boarding Patrol are the Kill Team kit as well.
I'm probably looking to get both. The Aeldari boxsets gives the corsairs I can use for Yannri, Aeldari and Drukhari. My main army is Drukhari therefore the box will fluff my troop numbers up especially for certain load outs.
I just hope the Tau one comes with a Commander (NOT FARSTINK) or Shadowsun and a bunch of Stealth Suits

If they did a box for Harlequins, it would just be the entire Harlequin range.
