What miniatures are included in the set?
The set includes 19 multipart plastic miniatures: 1 Captain in Gravis Armour, 3 Bladeguard Veterans, 5 Hellblasters, and 10 Intercessors. It also includes 2 Dark Angels Primaris Upgrade frames and 3 Dark Angels transfer sheets.
Are the models pre-assembled or pre-painted?
No, the miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly. They are multipart plastic kits that need to be glued together. Games Workshop recommends using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Does this set include the rules for playing?
The physical box does not contain a rulebook. However, the free Combat Patrol rules, which include the specific rules for using this set as the 'Vengeful Brethren' detachment, can be downloaded from the Warhammer Community website.
What bases are included with the models?
All models come with their appropriate bases. The exact base sizes are not specified in the provided information but are the standard sizes used for these units in Warhammer 40,000.
Can I use these models in a standard Warhammer 40,000 game, not just Combat Patrol?
Yes, absolutely. While the set is curated for the Combat Patrol game format, all the units (Captain, Bladeguard Veterans, Hellblasters, and Intercessors) are standard units from the Space Marines and Dark Angels codexes and can be used in any size of Warhammer 40,000 game.
What is the purpose of the upgrade frames and transfer sheets?
The two Dark Angels Primaris Upgrade frames provide specialised shoulder pads, weapons, heads, and other accessories to visually customise your Intercessors and other Primaris units with Dark Angels iconography. The three transfer sheets contain a variety of printed chapter, company, and squad markings to apply to the models after painting.
Is this a good set for someone completely new to Warhammer 40,000?
Yes, the Combat Patrol sets are designed as an ideal starting point. This Dark Angels box provides a complete, playable army in one purchase, along with a direct link to the free, simplified Combat Patrol rules. It offers a manageable modelling project and a ready-made force for learning the game.
