Read the full game description

Lost Patrol is the second publication in a series of mini-games by Games Workshop. In this two-player game you choose either scout-marines or the 'lurkers'. In the first edition scouts are represented in familiar WH40K miniatures when 'lurkers' are just cardboard tokens.´, while the second edition has plastic WH40K miniatures for both scouts and genestealers. The board is created with a hexagon tiles as the scouts travel through the dense jungle. The scouts' mission is to reach the dropship before the 'lurkers' eliminate them. As the scout team explores further, the jungle divides into many sections, and some of your teammates might even get lost (never to be found again).
