Warhammer 40,000: Combat Patrol

Combat Patrol is the quickest and most straightforward way to start collecting and playing Warhammer 40,000. In Combat Patrol games, each player commands a compact army of Warhammer miniatures in fast-paced, action-packed clashes.

With pre-defined Combat Patrol rosters for each faction, there is no need to create an army list – simply choose your favourite faction, assemble your miniatures, and prepare for battle.

Combat Patrol is also an excellent opportunity to try out different armies on the tabletop. Whichever you choose, you will soon learn your army’s strengths and weaknesses, and gain the skills needed to claim victory on larger battlefields.

The boxes offer a small, well-rounded army to begin a collection at a lower price than buying the miniatures individually, while the game mode provides quick, balanced matches with streamlined rules and no complex army list-building.

• How it works:

  Players use the entire Combat Patrol box as their army, using pre-defined rosters, custom stratagems, and unique secondary objectives specific to that box. 
• Benefits:

  It’s a “pick up and play” format with simplified rules and minimal setup, perfect for beginners or for getting a fast game in. 
• Setup:

  Requires just the two Combat Patrol boxes, a designated battlefield (a pair of gaming boards), and some terrain to provide cover.
