What is it worth- here’s all the value and pricing from the contents inside the Sisters of Battle 40k Combat Patrol Box!
These are designed for new players to the factions just like the current Start Collecting Sets that GW introduced back in 2016. They are being marketed as a quick way to get a small force on the table and playing some small games right away. Most times the starter-style kits are a pretty good value, so even if you have some minis already, this could be a decent value.
Before we go too much further though, this is basically exactly what was inside the old box, just with a Rhino added and the codex was taken out. Plus, there are some tiny units inside, which basically will do nothing for your collection, so just a little strange overall.
Let’s get into the value!
New Sisters of Battle Combat Patrol: $140
As we said, the contents are a little strange, but you do get a decent number of minis inside. So, if it has what you need, it will save you some cash. Plus, there’s nothing wrong with getting more minis.
Let’s get into the value.
Sisters of Battle Combat Patrol Value: What is it Worth?
- Canoness $35
- Battle Sisters Squad $60
- Repentia Squad $25 ($50 for 10)
- 1x Penitent Engine $35 ($60 for 2)
- 3x Arco Flagellants $15 ($50 for $10)
- Rhino $60
- Seraphim Squad $55
Total MSRP: $285
Box Sell Price: $140 Value: $145
Just $15 Each- Order Yours Now!
Normally the value on these is under $100, but this one is a bit better due to the split squads from the army box. Still, they aren’t super helpful. Because who wants to field one Penitent Engine or 3 Arco Flagellants? Again though, if you need the minis, it saves you a decent amount of cash.
Sisters of Battle Combat Patrol: Unboxing & Build
We are going to show you everything including the sprues, bits, and of course, the size. That way you can decide if this is worth your hard-earned hobby dollars.
Here’s the box we’ll be taking a look at, it does lack a little imagination on GW’s side and has some really small units that won’t do much to bolster your collection but the box does have some value. A shocker though is GW actually lowered the price on the Rhino, from $70 to $60, just something to think about.

Instructions
As far as assembly goes, this kit is pretty straightforward. There is one small error on the sprues to look out for though, where two parts share the same number. This box also doesn’t have a lot of customization options other than head swaps.
The same thing goes for the Seraphim with the heads being the main thing you can swap.
Built Minis
The minis are pretty easy to build but they do have a lot of sandwiched parts, meaning there will be a decent amount of mold lines and some gaps to fill. Rob recommends using the Tamiya Extra Thin Cement to help with the lines on the robes.
The quality of these minis is amazing and are pretty dynamic even though they don’t have a ton of customization.
The Seraphim are pretty sweet, but you will have to drill out the barrels and trim the mold lines. The only downside is the lack of options in this box for them.
The Repntia are also dynamic and just great minis overall, even though you don’t get too many of them in the box.
Again, a well-designed mini but there is a ton of flash to trim and you only get one of them. Just be careful when building this one because there are some fiddly parts.
The New Addition: the Rhino
You get all the Sisters bits and then the Rhino Chasis separately.
The instructions haven’t changed much in the last 15 years or so, but the instructions do help for adding all the Sisters’ bits on.
Obviously, with all the bits it looks a lot cooler than a normal one, overall it’s still a well-designed mini that looks pretty cool. Everything slots in pretty easily and most of the parts just fit in without glue.
When compared with the Immolator, it’s not as fancy.
Final Thoughts
Overall, Rob thinks this is a pretty decent value because it has enough value inside to make it worth it.
