Our Take: A New Entry Point For Warhammer 40K
Combat Patrol Looks Intriguing, But Still Represents A Big Time And Cost Commitment
At the end of the day, the easiest way to get intoWarhammer 40Kis to just pick up some minis and build them. However, for those worried about spending $168 on a full Combat Patrol box, the new magazine offers a way to “ease into” theWarhammer 40Khobby.
Personally, I don’t know if I’d spend over $1,300 on such a smattering of different factions, butI think people who love the idea ofWarhammer 40Kbut lack a place to start should look into the subscription. Also, those who just love to build and paint orjust enjoy cool miniaturesmight also find value in this new entry point to the world ofWarhammer 40K.
