Get your next Warhammer army cheap by checking out the Start Collecting, Combat Patrols, Vanguard Boxes, and Battleforce updated values and pricing breakdowns.

From Combat Patrol to Start Collecting, Vanguard, and Battleforce box sets, there are still a ton of releases out there with decent value inside to start a new Warhammer army for the New Year (or just add to your existing forces).

These are geared towards starting a newer army, but they all save you some cash, which we all love. We’ll also break down the value of each; that way, you can decide if any of them are worth your hard-earned hobby dollars.

Best of all, we just updated all the pricing and values for Combat Patrols to the new GW Suggested Retail Prices that increased in February 2022.

Updated Pricing for all Combat Patrols & Starter Boxes

Most of these are available from third-party retailers for less; even so, if you can’t find them at your local store, be sure to check those links and save some cash!

Don’t forget, the Start Collecting box sets are being replaced by Vanguard and Combat Patrol boxes. So if you see one you want, don’t wait too long, as it may be discontinued.

Tau Combat Patrol:

Click Here To Get Yours For Less: Amazon | Dicehead Games | Frontline Gaming |or eBay

Just to note, we’re going to assume the new Tau Combat Patrol is a $140 price point as everyone else has been the same price so far. Let’s check out the value

Fire Warriors: $55
Fireblade: $32
Stealth Battlesuits: $35
Ghostkeel Battlesuit: $85
Ethereal: $33.50 (the Ethereal pictured is the one from the current Start Collecting box, so this is priced a little higher)

Total MSRP: $240.50

Savings Versus Box Price: $90.50

This doesn’t have the highest value we’ve seen, but pretty close to a lot of the boxes and still decent for the price. If you need the models inside, it saves you a decent amount of cash and will get you a lot of minis fairly cheaply.

Thousand Sons Combat Patrol:

Click Here To Get Yours For Less: Amazon | Dicehead Games | Frontline Gaming |or eBay

The Thousand Sons one is pretty similar to the Hexfire box, so if you grabbed that one this might still have some value for you. It is a little strange just because it has so many Tzaangors and it’s basically the same as the Hexfire box but with 10 more Tzaangors added in.

Let’s check out what this will save you:

5x Scarab Occult Terminators $60
Infernal Master $35 (Based on recent characters)
20X Tzaangors (with upgrade sprues) $130

Total MSRP: $225

Savings Versus Box Price: $75

Grey Knights Combat Patrol:

Click Here To Get Yours For Less: Amazon | Dicehead Games | Frontline Gaming |or eBay

The Grey Knights one is similar to the Hexfire box, so if you grabbed that one, this might still have some value. Because who doesn’t need more minis, and they switched out the Crowe for the Terminators. So some pretty decent stuff overall.

Let’s check out what this will save you:

Terminator Squad: $54
Dreadknight: $65
5x Strike Squad: $40 ($65 for 10)
Librarian: $35

Total Value: $194

Savings Versus Box Price: $44

Unfortunately, the Grey Knights one has low value… However, this isn’t a bad pick-up for a very low model count army overall.

Adeptus Custodes Combat Patrol:

Click Here To Get Yours For Less: Amazon | Dicehead Games | Frontline Gaming |or eBay

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. Let’s check out what this will save you:

10x Sisters of Silence: $110
Shield-Captain on Dawneagle Jetbike: $60
Vexilus Praetors: $60

Total MSRP: $230

Savings Versus Box Price: $80

Genestealer Cults Combat Patrol:

Click Here To Get Yours For Less: Amazon | Dicehead Games | Frontline Gaming |or eBay

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.

Let’s check out what this will save you:

20x Neophyte Hybrids: $100
Magus: $32
Goliath Rockgrinder: $60
Aberrants: $42
Acolyte Hybrids: $42

Total Value: $276

Savings Versus Box Price: $126

Warhammer 40k Eldar Combat Patrol Box:

Click Here To Get Yours For Less: Amazon | Dicehead Games | Frontline Gaming |or eBay

This is a decent box with some good units but is very jetbike-heavy, so if you don’t want any in your army, this probably isn’t for you.

Still, we assume there will be decent value inside, but we’ll break it down below. Let’s see what value you can expect, but remember that the boxes have gone up $10 from the original $140. So we’ll use that as the price point.

Wraithlord $60 (went up with the recent price increases)
Windriders $110 ($55 for each box after increases)
Guardians $55
Farseer $32

Total MSRP: $257

Savings Versus Box Price: $107

40k Tyranids Combat Patrol Box Set:

Click Here To Get Yours For Less: Amazon | Dicehead Games | Frontline Gaming |or eBay

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.

Hive Tyrant $60
Tyranid Warriors $60
36 Termagants $105 (includes the Ripper Swarms)

Total MSRP: $225

Savings Versus Box Price: $75

Chaos Space Marines Combat Patrol:

Click Here To Get Yours For Less: Amazon | Dicehead Games | Frontline Gaming |or eBay

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.

Let’s check out the value!

10 Legionaries $60
Dark Apostle & Disciples $38
5 Havocs $60
Hellbrute $60

Total MSRP:$218

Savings Versus $150 Box Price: $68

Chaos Daemons Combat Patrol: $150

Click Here To Get Yours For Less: Amazon | Dicehead Games | Frontline Gaming |or eBay

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.

20 Bloodletters: $76 ($38 for 10)
10 Flesh Hounds: $110 ($55 for 5)
3 Bloodcrushers: $55 ($110 for 6)
Bloodmaster: $32

Fyreslayers Vanguard Box

26 hot-headed miniatures. Including a hero and battleline – form a fiery core to this force. A Battlesmith chronicles the stories of the Fyreslayers to lead 20 axe-toting Vulkite Berzerkers and five ferocious Hearthguard Berzerkers – who can be built instead as the indomitable Auric Hearthguard.

Battlesmith $35
20 Vulkite Berzerkers $120 ($60 for a box of 10)
5 Hearthguard Berzerkers $50

Total MSRP: $205

Savings Versus Box Price: $75

Idoneth Deepkin Vanguard

This raiding party consists of 15 miniatures. With a hero and battleline meaning you can use it as an army in a box. Hard-hitting eyeless Namarti Thralls are guided by the mystical prowess of an Isharaan Soulscryer, backed up by a fierce Akhelian Allopex and a trio of eel-riding Akhelian Isharaan Guard, which can also be built as Morrsarr Guard for extra flexibility.

Namarti Thralls $55
Isharaan Soulscryer $32
Akhelian Allopex $50
Akhelian Ishlaen Guard $55

Total MSRP: $192

Savings Versus Box Price: $62

Vanguard: Daughters of Khaine

Fresh from giving the Nighthaunt the fight of their lives in the Arena of Blood boxed set, the Daughters of Khaine are heading right back into the thick of things with their long-awaited Vanguard box. This box contains five Blood Stalkers, five Doomfire Warlocks, 10 Witch Aelves, and a Melusai Ironscale to lead them. It’s both the perfect place to start a Daughters of Khaine army and a valuable collection of powerful units to bolster an existing force – all while saving money.

5 Blood Stalkers $60
5 Doomfire Warlocks $42
10 Witch Aelves $60
Melusai Ironscale $35

Total MSRP: $197

Savings Versus $130 Box Price: $67

This isn’t bad value at all, and only a little less than the recent Fyreslayers’ box. So, if you need the units inside, you basically get the Blood Stalkers for free. Even if you already have some units, the nice thing about this box is there are actually useful units inside, so should be a decent pickup.

Vanguard: Skaven

Not to be outdone, the Skaven have concocted their own Vanguard box. It’s packed with verminous minions to boss around – a Grey Seer leads a pack of 20 Clanrats, supported by three hulking Stormfiends and the awesome technological might of a Warp Lightning Cannon. Whether you’re starting a new army or adding to your swarm, this is a collection of powerful and volatile weapons – with a furred horde ideal for occupying unwitting targets while your gunners lock on.

Grey Seer $27
20 Clanrats $42
3 Stormfiends $70
Warp Lightning Cannon $38

Total MSRP: $177

Savings Versus $130 Box Price: $47

Unfortunately, the Skaven doesn’t grab a great box. While the minis inside are useful, this is one of the lowest values we’ve seen in a while. Still, if you need all of the minis inside, it’s still cheaper than buying them on their own, and you basically get the Clanrats for free.

Vanguard: Nighthaunt

Rising from their graves to reignite their war against the living, the Nighthaunt come prepared with a Vanguard box full of spectral soldiers. With a grim hero leading an otherworldly battleline, this is a great way to start a new army – or reinforce an existing one. 20 groaning Chainrasps flow across the battlefield in a wave of incorporeal death, while 10 Grimghast Reapers, three Spirit Hosts, and a macabre Knight of Shrouds set to stripping fresh souls from their victims.

20 Chainrasps $84 ($42 for 10 push-fit models)
10 Grimghast Reapers $50
3 Spirit Hosts $32
Knight of Shrouds $35

Total MSRP: $201

Savings Versus $130 Box Price: $71

Now, this box has some great value! Almost as good as we’ve seen, so if you need the minis included, this is a buy every time. Plus, the Chainrasps are still push-fit, so building this box shouldn’t be too hard.

Disciples of Tzeentch Vanguard Box: $130

Start a new Disciples of Tzeentch army or add to an existing one with this new Vanguard box. Led by a powerful Magister on Disc of Tzeentch, it includes 10 Tzaangors, 10 Kairic Acolytes, and daemonic support in the form of three incendiary Flamers of Tzeentch and three swift Screamers of Tzeentch.

Magister on Disc of Tzeentch $38
10 Tzaangors $50
10 Kairic Acolytes $55
3 Flamers of Tzeentch $35
3 Screamers of Tzeentch $35

Total MSRP: $213

Savings Versus $130 Box Price: $83

This actually is a great box, in our opinion. You get a ton of minis, all of which make for a good starter force. Then, the value itself is really high. For $130, getting $83 in value is one of the highest values we’ve seen in a while! If you’re looking to get into the army or want to expand your forces, pick this one up.

2021 Battleforces Box Set

Next, we’ll check out the most recent Battleforces. Just be warned, some of them may no longer be available, but if you can find them, they have good value.

Overall for a new Warhammer army, you should be able to find most of these still…

So that’s pretty all the Start Collecting, Battleforce, and the Combat Patrol box value and pricing for your Warhammer army for the price increases.

There are still some battle boxes out there as well, but they tend to go out of stock quickly and are more about “new” miniatures that value. However, be sure to look for those if they match up with your new faction for sure.
