The stars are awash with the sounds of violence – with the new additions in Arks of Omen: Angron and White Dwarf 485, there are now a total of 27 Boarding Action missions to take you into the cold depths of space.* Plenty of Boarding Patrol boxes are coming to join the fun – but the starfaring Aeldari are masters of sailing through the void, and their spiky cousins are no strangers to raiding stranded vessels and even space hulks.
Both flavours of pointy-eared pirates will shortly be receiving their own Boarding Patrol boxes – two deadly and fleet-footed forces that you can play out of the box using the free Mustering Rules.
Aeldari Corsairs have been swashbuckling their way through the tight confines of voidships for their entire lives, and now they’re bringing their skills to bear in Boarding Actions – with the help of a legendary Phoenix Lord.
Boarding Patrol: Aeldari contains 20 Corsairs who can be built either as Voidreaver Troops or as tooled-up Voidscarred Elites. These versatile kits provide a solid firebase – or pistol-packing combatants – while Jain Zar and five of her finest Howling Banshees dance through the decks, unleashing disorientating psychosonic screams as they cut their foes to ribbons.
The Wych Cults of Comorragh, meanwhile, are masterful marauders, despatching raiding parties to hunt down prisoners for the fighting pits, victims to render into gruesome stimulants, or slaves to pay off their shiny new razorflail.
Succubi are skilled duelists, making them a perfect leader for the close confines of a Boarding Action. They command 20 Wyches, acrobatic murderers who no-one wants to get stuck in a room with, and have also hired five Incubi – heavily-armoured shock troopers who can clear out whole gangways with their razor-sharp demiklaives.
Even more Boarding Patrols are preparing for mobilisation – sign up for the Warhammer Community newsletter to find out which other factions are getting ready to breach and clear next.
* With even more to come in future Arks of Omen books!
