A new Tau Empire Combat Patrol enters the arena of small-scale Warhammer 40,000 action with a balanced mechanised force, mounting troops in a mobile Devilfish transport while their comrades offer supporting fire. The Commander – piloting a sturdy Enforcer battlesuit – leads from the front with a powerful array of ranged weapons, while a Breacher Team closes in for a short-ranged firefight and 10 Pathfinders support their comrades from afar with pinpoint Markerlight targeting.

Is the Tau Combat Patrol Worth It?
Of the 10th Edition CPs we’ve seen, this is actually one of the better. The value is higher than most we’ve seen so far, and it has a good mix of units inside. It will be a decent buy to start up a new force, even though it doesn’t have a wild number of points inside.
If you do need everything inside, this will save you some cash and give you a decent starting force. With the new Tau Combat Patrol, you basically get one of the $60 units inside for free, which is a solid value.
Overall, the newer 10th Edition Combat Patrols have been mostly underwhelming so far, but this one is bucking the trend.
What to Buy Next?
This is a decent start on any style of army, really. However, if you want to go with either a Kroot or Battlesuit army, we would probably pass on this. From this point, you need some more Battlesuits, some heavy-fire support, and definitely some Stealth Suits.
There are a ton of amazing new Kroot models out there, and we would definitely add a few for some combat prowess or scoring objectives. After that, you’ll need to start filling your army out for one of the specific new detachments and try to take advantage of the new rules!
Whether you’re a new or veteran 40k player, the Tau Combat Patrol can be a great way to get started playing games and building your forces, especially if you’re not worried about building a Kroot army.
