Everything you need to know about Warhammer Combat Patrols

Warhammer 40,000 is a fascinating world of epic battles, strategic challenges and detailed miniatures. For beginners and experienced players alike, Games Workshop introduces Combat Patrols —the perfect way to start a new army or expand your current collection. In this blog, we’ll dive deeper into what Combat Patrols are and why they’re an excellent choice for any Warhammer enthusiast.

What are Combat Patrols?

Combat Patrols are ready-to-play boxed sets that contain a compact and balanced fighting force of around 500 points. They are designed for fast and dynamic games that require less time and models than standard Warhammer 40K matches. Each set is tailored to a specific faction, allowing you to get started with the army of your choice right away.

Why choose Combat Patrols?

• Beginner Accessibility : Combat Patrols are ideal for newcomers. With a smaller number of models, you can learn the basic rules without getting overwhelmed.
• Cost Effective : These sets offer excellent value for money, often cheaper than purchasing the included models individually.
• Fast Gameplay : The lower point count means games are shorter, perfect for players with busy schedules.
• Expansion options : They form a solid base to further expand your army with additional units and vehicles.

Available Combat Patrol Sets

The Combat Patrols are there for various factions:

1. Combat Patrol: Space Wolves

• Begin your journey with the Imperium's iconic Space Wolves.

2. Combat Patrol: Necrons

• Awaken the ancient machines and dominate the battlefield.

3. Combat Patrol: Orks
