On paper I think this army could surprise people just because it’s not a build you’d expect to see. Vanguard Space Marine forces aren’t exactly tearing-up the meta though…so this is more of a fun challenge project than the next big GT winner. You have been warned. So, with the value and what’s in this, it’s hard to pass up. Overall, this is a pretty solid box and worth it for most new or seasoned DE players. This is definitely one of the most useful and desirable Combat Patrols they’ve come out with up to this point. Adeptus Mechanicus Combat Patrol Let’s pretend you’re going with Abaddon (which you could swap out for a Chaos Lord in Terminator Armour and maybe another 5 Terminators instead). That’s 500-ish points before wargear.

This week’s Citadel Colour Masterclass is all about the basics of freehanding. If you’ve ever wanted to dip your toe** into this advanced technique, this is the show you need to watch. The best place for a gigantic walking death machine is right in the middle of the enemy, and the Brutalis Dreadnought is equipped to take full advantage of the sheer everything-shredding power of its mighty fists and talons. Gone are the heavy guns of the Redemptor or the missiles of the Ballistus – this dreadnought is squarely in the business of tearing things apart in close combat, and business is booming .

Of the 25 miniatures in the Orks Combat Patrol, 24 were brand new on the set’s release, including 20 new Ork Boyz, three Deffkoptas, and a Warboss in mega-armour. The Deff Dread isn’t a new sculpt, but is as shooty and stompy as ever. This doesn’t have the highest value we’ve seen, but pretty close to a lot of the boxes and still decent for the price. If you need the models inside, it saves you a decent amount of cash and will get you a lot of minis fairly cheaply. Thousand Sons Combat Patrol: The Desolation Squad takes conventional missile launchers and turns them up to 11, combining the raw power of superfrag or superkrak missiles with indirect-fire infantry suppression courtesy of the castellan launcher.

The new edition of Warhammer 40,000 is rapidly incoming, and it’s an exciting time for fans of endless warfare in the 41st Millennium. Over the last few weeks, you’ve learned a bit about how Chapter Approved games offer matched play missions and different victory conditions in the new edition, so it’s time for the next of the flagship game modes – Combat Patrol. Captains and Chapter Masters are often accompanied by some of the finest heroes of their chapter as a personal bodyguard. The squad’s Ancient carries a fluttering company banner to inspire his comrades and boost their Objective Control, while the Company Champion duels enemy leaders before they can even think of getting near the Captain. The Veterans meanwhile lay down a hail of bolt fire. This kit also includes a versatile Captain with multiple options. Terminator Squad The daemonic onslaught intensifies, with a Combat Patrol set focused on Khorne. Get the blood flowing with this hefty collection of 34 miniatures, which can be built to reach a Power Level of up to 33 and get you gaming straight away. This Combat Patrol-sized force is led by a fearsome Bloodmaster, ably supported by three Bloodcrushers mounted on Juggernauts, 10 slavering Flesh Hounds, and 20 Bloodletters – making a spectacular basis for a Khornate horde.

Over at Warhammer TV, the second explosive episode of Pariah Nexus stomps into view with glowing red eyes and fetching green armour. Citadel Colour Masterclass continues their series of Pariah Nexus-themed tutorials with an invaluable guide to painting freehand flame effects, and Loremasters peers into the mysterious ways of the Necron Deathmarks. Why Deathmarks, you ask? Oh, no reason… The core principle is simple – each Combat Patrol has been given a full set of self-contained rules that define it on the table. This includes datasheets, but also secondary objectives, faction rules, Enhancements, and Stratagems, all flavoured to match that force’s narrative – and balanced against every other Combat Patrol.*

With those additions we’re at 520 points before Wargear. With the one Combat Patrol that’s a total of 1025 points before wargear. Now, with all those Marines, you might want some transports. A CSM Rhino is going to be 80 points base and we’ll toss in a pair for the two units of Chaos Marines running around. That’s another 160 points before Wargear. Here is the full line of Warhammer 40k Combat Patrol boxes, along with the units that have increased in value for 2023. Updated Warhammer 40k Combat Patrol boxes Pricing & Values Well, even at the new higher price, this has some really good value inside. It also has very useful units, and even if you bought the Cadia Stands box, you can always use more Cadians, and Sentinels! The Death Guard box does have a ton of value, but it comes mainly in the form of Poxwalkers, so that is hard to gauge. It is the box for you if you want a lot of Poxwalkers.

Which of The 40k Combat Patrol Boxes Has the Best Pricing and value?

These rules, shaped by in-depth testing that saw old veterans and brand new Warhammer 40,000 players test their mettle against each other over many, many games, result in a mode of play that’s simple at first glance, yet full of depth. It looks pretty similar to the Leagues of Votann army box with two main changes. First, they took out the second squad of warriors and the other character. Replacing that is 5 Berserks (including the mole cannon option).
