Probably the most exciting thing GW has released in 10th for me. Boarding actions was cool, and I'm glad it seems like it's actually being supported outside of the 'end of edition' cycle. And that this seems relatively high effort support at that.

I love Boarding Actions, I love it's finally getting real, consolidated support, I was super excited to get this book... But eff me, 42.50£ for a softback book is really hard to justify. Especially with this page count. It's a 42.50£ book will fall apart in no time flat.

A reminder to everyone that you can make your own terrain. Whether with cardboard/foamboard, or with magnetic tile toys. The latter was explored a fair bit last year by a couple channels last year, when Boarding Patrols first came out.

There about a bazillion 3d-printable sets of boarding actions terrain proxies that don't have the HUGE hobby overhead that's required to prep the official pieces. Most of them have more flexible layouts so all your Wall a1's don't need to look EXACTLY the same. Many of them also include the expansion pieces not included in the Boarding Actions Terrain set, and there are quite a few that aren't imperial in design.

Time spent 3d printing is work largely done by robots, and the time spent prepping/maintaining the prints was no where near as much of my time spent cleaning/filing/scraping/taping the official terrain so they would actually work as modular pieces. I have a fully painted official set and a printed Tau-themed set and the latter was FAR less money / time to get ready for painting.

Also love boarding action glad it is updated. GW still sells the terrain. They also sell the expansion terrain but it is under the kill team section of the store and a lot of it is temporarily out of stock. I already own all the expansions as I collected along the way. We also included 6 boarding action games per player in our latest crusade so we’re fully on board. I don’t love some of the missions that came in White Dwarfs as they are just too random but other than that awesome.

Also is the Inquisition able to work alongside them? If the binding glue fails I might be tempted to go to one of these print shops (Fedex, officemax, kinkos, etc..) and have them rebind it with a spiral book attachment.

I bought the Boarding Actions terrain and all the books, and love it. It's been sitting on a shelf since then since it didn't translate well to 10th edition. Still have to paint all the terrain, but I hope the updated mustering rules will allow me to do some new Boarding Patrols that I would like to play. Something like more than one unit of Striking Scorpions or a detatchment with Deathleaper, Lictor, Neurolictor and Von Ryan's Leapers. Ordered the compendium from my FLGS and plan to open the book there on release day, decide on a team to build and do some more shopping.

Big box (consisting of 2 basic KT-terrain sets) is enough for every mission. There are those additional terrain sets with special walls or gimmicks - those would be required for what I remember being optional rules for some of the missions. Worst case you can just mark which wall is breachable/breached and which doors are considered block from one side with something while playing.

@erih2934
Ай бұрын
No as missions are tied to specific layout which uses those walls - though you can replace that either with 3rd party sets or just play with card boards :) From my experience the board for BA isn't more expensive than a regular 40k table that uses GW terrain. You can get the terrain cheaper, but like with regular boards this usually comes at the expense of quality. Boarding Action terrain has some minor usability flaws (Ash had a review on that), but it also looks really great with just minimal effort put into it. Its an investment for sure, but you solve all your terrain issues for 50+ missions.
