Warhammer 40k Warlords Test New Combat Patrol Rules With 18-Model Armageddon Forces in Seattle

Summary
Seattle club games let the Warlords try Warhammer 40k’s new edition through Combat Patrol, using Armageddon box models including Tyranids against Death Guard.
Combat Patrol emerged as an introductory format for learning the rules and sampling new armies, while the Armageddon set provides new Space Marines and Orks patrols as the first build target.
The Space Marine Assault Force patrol uses 18 models from the box—captain, librarian, 10 Intercessors, five Vanguard Veterans and a Landspeeder—leaving Eradicators, a chaplain and an Ancient for later.
Painting also advanced alongside the rules testing: one Warlord completed an Intercessor scheme test and the rest of the squad, while others worked through Orks, a Storm Speeder and 20 assault troops.
Next week the series shifts from Combat Patrol toward full 1,000-point lists, with a mid-July painting milestone and a larger Armageddon campaign weekend still ahead.
