Here’s your guide to all the Warhammer 40k Combat Patrol box values and pricing in our savings breakdown, updated with the latest prices!

Warhammer 40k Combat Patrol boxes are a great way to get started in the hobby. Each box contains a small, playable army at a discounted price, which can form the core of a larger army or be used in a custom quickplay game mode.

These boxes are a great option for new and veteran players who want to try out a new force or play a quick game.

Warhammer 40k Combat Patrols In 10th Edition

It’s worth noting that every Warhammer 40k faction has a combat patrol box available. While the official price is $160 (£95) on the Games Workshop webstore, your local gaming store may offer them at a discounted price. Moreover, in Warhammer 40k 10th edition, Games Workshop has introduced a new, quick-play game mode specifically for these boxes.

Games of Warhammer 40k Combat Patrol (Seperate Game Mode)

Games Workshop has introduced a new game mode called Combat Patrol with the release of Warhammer 40k 10th edition. This game mode is designed to be simpler and quicker to play compared to a full game of Warhammer 40k. It is ideal for new players who want to get started or for those who want to play a full game during their lunch break.

Combat Patrol Balance

To ensure fair play, each Combat Patrol is balanced against all the others. This may seem challenging when looking at some of the more elite unit box sets, like Space Marines or Custodes. However, Games Workshop has used two methods to balance the boxes against one another:

Firstly, the models in each box set have a particular loadout that players are supposed to equip their models with. Secondly, the Combat Patrol versions of each faction’s datasheet army rules are different from their main Index. These datasheets are simpler, and armies have access to different Stratagems and enhancements.

So we’ve seen quite a few of these Combat Patrol box sets with value since Games Workshop started replacing their Start Collecting box sets with this version at the current price point of $160. Based on the pricing, Games Workshop seems to try to give about $50-$60 of value in their Combat Patrol boxes. However, as shown below, some have more than that, and some have less.

Adeptus Custodes Combat Patrol

Following on from the events of Shadow Throne, the perfidious Genestealer Cultists and the Talons of the Emperor are mustering Combat Patrols to continue their respective missions across the Imperium. You’ll be able to prepare for these campaigns with Codex: Adeptus Custodes and Codex: Genestealer Cults, which are both packed full of thematic rules like devastating crossfire, and peerless battle stances.

If you need the Sisters models, this box is a good buy, but if not, it may be a pass.

Models	Unit Name	Value
10	Sisters of Silence	$120 ($60 for 5)
5	Shield-Captain/Custodian Guard Squad	$60
3	Vexilus Praetors	$60

Genestealer Cults Combat Patrol:

Overall, of all the Combat Patrol Boxes, the new Genestealer Cults is a pretty good value in terms of both pricing and selection of models.

Models	Unit Name	Value
20	Neophyte Hybrids	$110
5	Aberrants	$45
1	Magus	$33.50
1	Goliath Rockgrinder	$60

40k Tyranids Combat Patrol Box Set: (Out of Print)

Fortunately, the Norn-Queens have been hard at work splicing together a new Combat Patrol box, which is ideal whether you’re brand new to the Tyranids or have been on board since Hive Fleet Behemoth was first sighted.

The box actually has some useful units and minis inside, so this could be a good starting point for players. Let’s see what type of cash it will save you, though.

Models	Unit Name	Value
3	Tyranid Warriors	$60
36	Termagants (includes the Ripper Swarms)	$105
1	Hive Tyrant	$60
Tyranids Combat Patrol
	Total MSRP:	$225
	Savings Versus Box Price:	$65

Chaos Space Marines Combat Patrol

Honestly, though, the box has a decent mix of units inside that should be a good kicking-off point for new players. Plus, it seems to be a better force to build an army around when you compare it to something like the recent Thousand Sons box.

Models	Unit Name	Value
10	Legionaries	$65
3	Dark Apostle & Disciples	$40
5	Havocs	$60
1	Hellbrute	$60
Chaos Space Marines Combat Patrol
	Total MSRP:	$225
	Savings Versus Box Price:	$65

Chaos Daemons Combat Patrol:

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.

Now moving to more exclusively Daemon models, this new combat patrol is a great start for any fans of Khorne’s Daemonic forces. However, this one may not be for you if you’re not collecting skulls in your Daemon army.

Models	Unit Name	Value
20	Bloodletters	$80 ($40 for 10)
10	Flesh Hounds	$120 ($60 for 5)
5	Bloodcrushers	$55 ($110 for 6)
1	Bloodmaster	$33.50
Chaos Daemons Combat Patrol
	Total MSRP:	$288.50
	Savings Versus Box Price:	$128.50

Leagues of Votann Combat Patrol:

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).

Models	Unit Name	Value
10	Hearthkyn Warriors	$60
3	Jetbikes	$120 ($60 for 5)
1	Uthar the Destined/Kâhl	$40
5	Berserks	$60
Leagues of Votann Combat Patrol
	Total MSRP:	$225
	Savings Versus Box Price:	$65

Astra Militarum Combat Patrol:

Well, even at the new higher price, this has some really good value inside. It also has very useful units, and even if you have bought the Cadia Stands box, you can always use more Cadians and Sentinels!

Models	Unit Name	Value
5	Cadian Command Squad	$45
20	Cadian Shock Troops	$100 (2 box sets)
1	Sentinel	$45
2	Field Ordnance Battery	$55
Astra Militarum Combat Patrol
	Total MSRP:	$245
	Savings Versus Box Price:	$85

World Eaters Combat Patrol:

While Chaos Space Marines are limited to a single Chaos Lord per Detachment, the World Eaters aren’t subject to such petty jealousy. They can field as many beast-bound Lords as their HQ slots allow, meaning you can muster the complete contents of two Combat Patrols – all without needing to spend any Command points on the new Heroic Support Stratagem.

Models	Unit Name	Value
1	World Eaters Lord on Juggernaut	$60
20	Khorne Berzerker	$130 ($65 for 10)
10	Jakhals	$55
World Eaters Combat Patrol
	Total MSRP:	$245
	Savings Versus Box Price:	$85

Combat Patrol: Tyranids (New)

Start your new army with Combat Patrol: Tyranids, a curated collection of units that give you a solid foundation for larger, greater swarms. They’re also an excellent choice for pick-up games of Combat Patrol, leveraging the speed and skill of a Winged Tyranid Prime to pick off critical enemy units while 20 Termagants, five Barbgaunts, three Von Ryan’s Leapers, and a massive Psychophage advance across the field. You also get two Ripper Swarms. Because you can never have too many Ripper Swarms.

*Unfortunately, the value of this combat patrol is really just based on a little less than half the contents of the Leviathan Starter Set, minus the Screamer Killer and the Neurotyrant. Overall, unless you need these models because you missed out on that box release, it’s not worth buying this box as the value is far lower than the cost of this box on the secondary market.

This Tyranids Combat Patrol Box is a very sub-par release by Games Workshop.

Combat Patrol: Space Marines (2023)

Take an elite, flexible force into Combat Patrol and kickstart your Space Marines collection with this fine assemblage of powerful heroes. Five Terminators, five Infernus Marines, a Terminator Captain, and a Terminator Librarian – whom you may have seen grinding up some Tyranids in the Leviathan box set earlier this year – put out the damage of many more men, and are tough as nails to boot.

*Unfortunately, The value of the Space Marines combat patrol is really just based on a little less than half the contents of the Leviathan Starter Set, minus the Ballistus Dreanought, one extra squad of Infernus and the Sternguard Squad.

Overall, unless you need these models because you missed out on that box release, it’s not worth buying this box as the value is far lower than the cost of this box on the secondary market.

This Combat Patrol Box is a very sub-par release by Games Workshop.

Combat Patrol: Necrons: (2023)

Combat Patrol: Necrons is an elite contingent of living metal warriors with a burning desire to return the galaxy to a state of cold stasis, including 10 Necron Warriors, three Skorpekh Destroyers, a Canoptek Doomstalker, and three Canoptek Scarab Swarms, all ready to do battle under the command of the implacable Necron Overlord Amonhotekh.

Models	Unit Name	Value
12	Necron Warriors (includes the Scarab Swarms)	$50
3	Skorpekh Destroyers	$50
1	Canoptek Doomstalker	$50
1	Necron Overlord	$38
Necrons Combat Patrol
	Total MSRP:	$198
	Savings Versus Box Price:	$38

*Unfortunately, The value of the Necrons combat patrol is really just based on less than half the contents of the Indomitus Starter Set, with a Doomstalker added in.

Overall, unless you need these models because you missed out on that box release, it’s not worth buying this box as the value is far lower than the cost of this box on the secondary market.

This Combat Patrol Box is a very sub-par release by Games Workshop.

Combat Patrol: Adeptus Mechanicus (2023)

The Adeptus Mechanicus are generally too preoccupied with hunting down archeotech to concern themselves with the pathetic flesh of their allies, and their new Combat Patrol box is packed with marvellous cybernetic horrors ready to cleanse dig-sites of contamination.

Models	Unit Name	Value
10	Rangers	$55
3	Serberys Raiders	$60
1	Tech-Priest Manipulus	$40
3	Pteraxii Skystalkers	$38
Adeptus Mechanicus Combat Patrol
	Total MSRP:	$215
	Savings Versus Box Price:	$55

40k Combat Patrol: Dark Angels: (2024)

The Unforgiven return to the world of Combat Patrol with a revamped box for this fast and furious Warhammer 40,000 game mode. This box contains 19 miniatures, including a Captain in Gravis Armour, three Bladeguard Veterans, five Hellblasters, and 10 Intercessors. On top of that you’ll get two Dark Angels Primaris Upgrade sprues, and three transfer sheets containing 221 decals each – note that these are different from the Dark Angels Upgrades and Transfers described above.

Models	Unit Name	Value
1	Captain in Gravis Armour	$40
3	Bladeguard Veterans	$60
5	Hellblasters	$35 ($60 for 10)
10	Intercessors	$60
2	Dark Angels Primaris Upgrade sprues	$30 (each sells for $15, but this is the old upgrade sprue)
Dark Angels Combat Patrol
	Total MSRP:	$225
	Savings Versus Box Price:	$65

Honestly, with $30 of the value being made up by the old upgrade sprues (pictured above), this really isn’t a great deal. If the box had 10 Hellblasters, it would be pretty decent. However, if you don’t want the captain and the upgrade sprues, you actually lose money.

But… if you do need everything inside, this will save you some cash and get you a decent starting force and some upgrades. The newer 10th Edition Combat Patrols have been underwhelming so far, and this is following the trend, but it at least has more value than the previous two we’ve seen.

Adeptus Custodes Combat Patrol (New 2024)

Wield the golden sword of the Emperor in smaller-scale Warhammer 40,000 games with Combat Patrol: Adeptus Custodes, which also makes for a great start to a larger army. The patrol is led by a charging Blade Champion, who can assemble his force from five Custodian Guard and a choice between three Allarus Terminators or three Wardens – you’ll get all of the miniatures in the box, but they’re just too powerful to take the whole lot into a single game of Combat Patrol!

Models	Unit Name	Value
1	Blade Champion	$40
3	Allarus Terminators	$60
5	Custodian Guard	$60
5	Vexilus Praetors	$60
Adeptus Custodes Combat Patrol
	Total MSRP:	$220
	Savings Versus Box Price:	$60

This basically gets you one of the units for free, so if you need everything inside, this is a decent pickup. While it’s not the highest value we’ve seen in a box, it is a good starting force. It gets you a lot of the core units, and with how expensive each unit is in points, the value seems higher when compared to something like Orks!

40k Orks Combat Patrol (New 2024)

Known as Morgrim’s Butchas, this mob of angry Beast Snagga Orks are clearly disappointed by the dearth of big monsters and vehicles in Combat Patrol and are taking out their frustration on everyone else. You get a hulking Beastboss flanked by 20 Beast Snagga Boyz and backed up by four Squighog Boyz, making this a hard-hitting Combat Patrol with lots of big charge energy.

Models	Unit Name	Value
1	Beastboss	$40
20	Beast Snagga Boyz	$120 ($60 for 10)
4	Squighog Boyz	$65
Orks Combat Patrol
	Total MSRP:	$225
	Savings Versus Box Price:	$65

Do you want a lot of Beast Snagga Boyz? If so, this is a great box for you. If you want the regular Orks, you have to pass on this one. If you really want to play this style of army, it’s pretty good value, as it gets you the Squighog Boyz for free!

The newer boxes in 10th Edition haven’t had as much value, but getting so many Boyz is always fun. Plus, this is totally different from the Orks’ last combat patrol box, so you still have options if you want to get more ‘regular Orks.’ That being said, the value between these two is $40 less, which in game terms is at least a whole character or half a squad.

Tau 40k Combat Patrol (New 2024)

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.

Models	Unit Name	Value
1	Devilfish	$60
1	Tau Commander	$60
10	Fire Warriors Breacher Team	$60
10	Pathfinders	$45 (not KT Box)
Tau Combat Patrol
	Total MSRP:	$225
	Savings Versus Box Price:	$65

Of the 10th Edition Combat Patrol boxes we’ve seen so far, this is actually one of the better. The value is higher than most, 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.

Plus, if you do need everything inside, this will save you some cash and give you a decent starting force to boot!

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

If you look just at the numbers, the Sisters, Daemons, and GSC Combat Patrol boxes come out as winners based on pricing and value. But if you look at the units involved, the Drukahri really comes out as the winner, with everything in the box being useful and included in almost every Kabal list.

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.

The Deathwatch and Grey Knights Combat Patrol boxes are the clear losers in terms of pricing and value. That’s because if you don’t need the characters, you basically get no real value.

Either way, whether you are a new or veteran player, these boxes are a great option to try out a new faction or play a quick game. You can easily decide which box is best for you and your budget. So, don’t wait; grab your Warhammer 40k Combat Patrol box today!
