Tyranids 40k Combat Patrol Combat Patrol Review
The Tyranids Combat Patrol is packed with 32 miniatures into a strike force that’s all about bringing the pain with tons of bugs and shredding anything unlucky enough to stand in their way. If your enemies thought they could hold the line against these bugs, they’re about to be proven very, very wrong.
With a strong lineup of miniatures ready to rain down chaos on the battlefield, you really can’t go wrong here if you missed out on the Leviathan starter box.
Plus, you can even play this box as is in smaller game modes of Warhammer 40k, aptly called “Combat Patrol games” (get the rules here).

Is it Worth It?
Mostly? The 10th edition Tyranid Combat Patrol has a ton of value, and even if you have some of the models, you save so much with this set. It’s obviously more focused on the smaller models in the range, but who doesn’t want a giant horde of miniatures running around on the table?
If you’re playing Crusher Stampede, it’s not as worth it, but for every other detachment, this is totally worth the pickup.
You basically get the Psychophage and Leapers for free, so if you want some Nids, this may be the way to go (especially if you didn’t split the Leviathan box with someone in 2023!)
How Many Points is it?
So, you’re wondering how the Warhammer Tyranid Combat Patrol points rack up, eh? Well, in Warhammer 40,000 10th edition, this box hits with about 400 points. But, as you know, the tides of the Grimdark universe are ever-shifting, and with the latest points updates, that number could quickly fluctuate.

What to Buy Next?
Well, as we said, this is more focused around a horde-style army, so you could easily keep adding on more Termagants with special weapons, some Genestealers, and maybe a Lictor or two. That would give you a pretty solid army, but you will still need a little more Synapse.
With the Winged Prime, you could easily pick up some Warriors and a little bit more heavy-fire support. They also have a ton of new minis out right now (that dropped alongside the Space Marines), so you could easily pick up a bunch of the new stuff and just build an army around what models you like.
There is also something to be said about just buying the minis you think are cool and building an army around them! Don’t forget to grab the new rules for this faction and brush up on how to play them. We’ve even got you covered in this article!
OOP 2022 Version:
The Out of Print (OOP) 2022 old Tyranid Combat Patrol was the Hive Mind’s little gift to new players. Released in March 2022, this set was packed to the brim with 43 models.
The box included a pretty focused collection of miniatures with a ton of little bugs to run over their enemies, and was on the higher end of the value of the old boxes, and the units included had a giant non-winged Hive Tyrant.
At a $150 price tag and an MSRP value of $230, it gave you about $80 in savings, assuming you actually needed everything in the box.
| Models | Unit Name | Value |
| 1 | Hive Tyrant | $62.50 |
| 3 | Tyranid Warriors | $62.50 |
| 36 | Termagants (old kit, including Ripper Swarms) | $105 |

Final Thoughts For This Box
It’s a solid unit lineup featuring both big and small bugs, from the Leviathan box.
Sure, it’s not the absolute cheapest deal on the market, but you’re saving some serious cash if you missed out on the 10th edition starter set.
