Masks On: A Review

Wargame Portal Customer Service |

Games Workshop has recently pulled the mask off and revealed two new Combat Patrol on some very iconic subfactions of the Astra Militarum and Aeldari. The Death Korps and Harlequins receive two great new starting points! 

Let's review!

Combat Patrol: Harlequins
At long last, the enigmatic Harlequins are getting a proper discount box. Known for their dazzling speed and deadly precision, this set packs a serious punch with a six-model Harlequin Troupe, two Skyweavers, a Starweaver, and a Voidweaver – each bristling with weapons to shred anything in their path. Lurking just behind, the iconic Solitaire waits for the perfect moment to carve through enemy leaders in a single breathtaking strike. For anyone who’s ever wanted to unleash the artistry of the Laughing God on the tabletop, this box offers the perfect jumping-on point.

Combat Patrol: Death Korps of Krieg
Balancing out the flamboyant Harlequins are the grim and resolute Death Korps of Krieg. This patrol delivers a solid core of 10 infantry and a six-member Command Squad to hold the line, while five Death Riders thunder across the battlefield to break the enemy at its weakest point. Rounding things out, a Heavy Weapons Squad of four provides the firepower needed to keep foes pinned under relentless bombardment. It’s a versatile starting force that makes expanding into a full Krieg army simple and rewarding.

Both Combat Patrols bring thematic, flavorful, and well-balanced forces into small-scale Warhammer 40,000 – and we’re thrilled to see the Harlequins finally get the discount box they deserve. Whether you’re drawn to the theatrical deadliness of the Harlequins or the stoic determination of the Death Korps, these sets look like a fantastic way to start collecting.
