Any Ideas about our Combat Patrol box?

Our Codex will sooner than later be at our door, but there's a question i'm asking myself:

What do you think our Combat Patrol box will looks like? And does anybody knows when the preview of it will come? Right now some models that i need are available on GW.com but would not want to buy them and then see them at a deal in a Combat Patrol box....(i want 2 units of Wracks and 1 of Reavers).

For my part i'd really love it if the Combat Patrol box was aimed at the Covens. The last Start Collecting! was for Wyches and the Battleforce we had was for Kabal...
i'd love it if the box included the new Lelith but that would means that the remainder of the box would be Wyches.....unless we have a new way to build our army....
What do you think? any wishes?

If GW wants to sell me even more Wyches they can royally screw themselves.

I would love to have a Coven box, but I don't think they will give away a Coven box for cheap. The price tag on Wracks alone is ridiculous.

I suppose it will be some Kabal stuff. Probably an Archon, Kabalites, a Raider, Reavers and some plastic Ur-Ghuls. Then, WC will celebrate our new plastic Ur-Ghuls and fails to mention that they have existed in Necromunda for a decent time now.

Ideally, I would want plastic Urien Rakart + plastic Grotesques in the box. A man can still dream, right?

a lot of good and legit request there.....even if i doubt they will ever happen
As stupid as it is, i'd love the new Ur-Ghuls to be included, but if they are to do it, i ask that the 3 others Court of the Archon are included too, and in plastic! God i hate the finecast resin lol.

What i'd love is that, knowing that our army have a lot of models ''webstore only'', i'd love it if they included them in those boxes to make it easier to get our hands on them.
Wracks, Ravagers, Grotesques, Haemonculus and on and on....

I'm tempted to put money on it including Hellions.

Hellions would be great as they are webstore only models, but again.....wyches?.....

Note that if the box includes Lelith, Hellions, Reavers and Wyches.....i might purchase one box cause i'm missing Lelith, one Reavers..... as for the Hellions and Wyches, one additionnal would not hurt....
but frankly i'd prefer a Coven box than a wyches.....as The Strange Dark One mentionned, we already have an easy access to them.....but Soulless Samurai sadly i'll probably havbe to put my money on the same tablet as yours cause i'm pretty sure its gonna be a wyches box...

I could see the combat patrol box being the druhkari half of piety & pain with a succubus instead of lelith

I am full of cynicism for the release to be honest. Theres so little coming despite so much (in my opinion) being needed, I'm worried it will all be the same.
So my guess is that the Drukhari Combat Patrol will simply be the Wych half of the Wych/Sisters box set.

10 Wyches, 5 Hellions, 1 Venom, and the Archon with the silly pose.

if this is to happen, than i will gladly hop aboard the train of the: GW-have-literally-no-love-for-DE-train.....A kabal HQ with a Wych faction with no synergy at all (even if the new codex allows us to mix and match our factions)......nooooo i don't wanna!!!!

but i agree that my expectations are pretty low for our box.....hell even the other factions (even SM) did not receive an amazing box!

Maybe it will be the boxset we've all been waiting for - 3 Archons, 3 Succubi, and 3 Hemonculi (and nothing else).

Add the Visarch and I'm buying it.

Hey c'mon, there needs to be some mobility in there.

A single Venom ought to do it.

Alright.

3 Archons, 3 Succubi, 3 Hemonculi, and a unit of Hellions.

GW man 1: Wait a minute. This is wrong.
GW man 2: What is it?
GW man 1: They are all on foot. Dark eldar is supposed to be fast. We should add a transport of some sort.
GW man 2: The other day, I found a forum. They were talking about hq and jetbike. Just add a few jetbikes, they'll be happy.

Honestly, you are generally better off just buying what you want. The big boxed sets are where you actually save money. The smaller start collecting sets only save you money if you actually use everything (which almost never happens).

*Stares at my4 extra Commisars that came with my Scion Start Collecting boxes

If you buy 6 more you can field them as a squad of Mordians lol

My bet is the plastic Hemmi, 3 boxes of Wracks, 1 Talos and 1 Raider. Why? Because every combat patrol box has 25 power and about 500 points, and that fits almost exactly into that while fitting the All-Covens theme we lack in this kind of "budget" boxes.

now that would be a dream box! Maybe just replace the raider for a venom....just for the look when you replace the top-gun shooter and pilot by the wracks models....Coven all the way!!!! lol
ho! and I definitely hope we'll receive plastic Grotesque sooner than later

You can do that with a raider as well tho

Yup, and Raiders have the added benefit of being able to transport Grotesques.

They've just shown the preview for Drukhari, including the new Combat Patrol box - it contains an Archon, 10 Kabalites, 5 Incubi, a Raider and a Ravager!

I can't knock the box as a good way for someone to start the faction.

Yeah honestly if I were to design a Combat Patrol box for getting a brand-new player's feet wet with the Drukhari, this is basically what I'd pick. No complaints.

Yeah, basically everything there will see use on the table on a regular basis. I was expecting/hoping for a coven theme, but they went for Kabal instead, not a bad choice either, and basically the warriors and raider come for free if compared to taking them one by one.

If I were to start Drukhari, I would definitely get 2 of those boxe for a solid Batallion. And with some of the extra bits from the Raider and Incubi, you can even make a decent kitbash for the Archon xD

Even now I'm kinda tempted to get it. The plastic Incubi are nice and I definitely need more Ravagers.
If I didn't have 3 Raiders already it'd be a must-take.
