Games Workshop says it will be announcing more Combat Patrol boxes as it releases new Codexes (faction rulebooks) for each of the game’s playable armies over the next year or so. Here’s a list of all the Combat Patrol boxes released so far: Warhammer 40,000 Combat Patrol Box Sets Patrol Detachments contain one or two ‘HQ’ units, and between one and three ‘Troop’ units, although they can also plug in up to 2 of the other unit categories: Elites, Fast Attack, Heavy Support and flyers.Įach of these new boxes will thus contain at least 1 HQ unit and 1 Troop unit (to meet the detachment rules), while the rest will be a mix of other unit types. Between you and your opponent, the total power level cannot exceed 50 (so it’s supposed to be 25 each, but you can always have a conversation about any spares).

In Warhammer 40k 9th Edition, the Combat Patrol represents the smallest type of match you can play, and requires an army of 25 Power, or 500 Points, in a single ‘Patrol’ detachment (with exceptions), as per the core rules. These boxes contain enough well-chosen models to field a small, legal (and relatively robust) army for the new Combat Patrol format, but they can also serve as a core nucleus to expand your collection to create bigger and better armies for the larger Incursion, Strike Force and Onslaught formats. The Warhammer 40K ‘Combat Patrol’ box is a new, small-army box designed to replace the ‘Start Collecting’ kits which have been a mainstay of the last few editions of the game.
