Dark Angels 40k Combat Patrol Combat Patrol Review
This Dark Angels CP leans more “steady pressure and disciplined firepower” than “all gas, no brakes.” You’re getting a solid core of Primaris bodies with a beefy Gravis Captain to anchor the party, Bladeguard to bully the midboard, and Hellblasters to make anything peeking out of cover regret its life choices.
And the best part is you can crack the box, build what’s inside, and run it immediately using the Dark Angels Combat Patrol rules as a self-contained force.

Is the Dark Angels Combat Patrol Worth It?
Real talk: a big chunk of the “savings” here is propped up by those older upgrade sprues. When around thirty bucks of the value is basically shoulder pads and icons, it’s hard to call this box a slam dunk. If they had just tossed in a full ten Hellblasters, we would be having a very different conversation. And if you’re not interested in the Gravis Captain or the upgrade sprues, the math gets ugly fast, because you’re paying for stuff you’re not going to use.
Still, if you actually want everything in the box, it does its job. You save a little cash, get a solid core of Marines, and walk away with some Dark Angels flavor bits for your army without having to buy a bunch of separate kits.
What Can You Play Out of the Box? (Combat Patrol Rules vs 40k Points)
Combat Patrol is its own little world, so you do not need to stress about points when you’re playing the smaller format. But if you are planning to fold this box into a regular 40k list, the Dark Angels points usually shake out to roughly the 450-point mark, give or take whatever the latest Munitorum Field Manual decided to do to your weekend plans.
What to Buy Next?
If you want to steer this Combat Patrol into something that actually feels Dark Angels, your next buy kind of depends on which flavor of robed menace you are chasing. For Deathwing vibes, a Deathwing Assault box gives you that brick of elite infantry fast.
For Ravenwing, you’re looking at bikes, speeders, and vehicles, because this box is basically zero percent “go fast” out of the gate. After that, add one tough fire support piece like a Dreadnought or tank to hold lanes, plus one quick unit that can snag objectives and be annoying while the rest of your army does the real work.
OOP 2021 Version:
The old out of print Combat Patrol from back in the day is the box people still point at as things can get better. Because the old one was… interesting.
Here’s the quick rundown of what was in it and how the value stacked up, so you can compare it to the current box without letting nostalgia do the math for you.
| Models | Unit Name | Value |
| 5 | Intercessors | $32 (half box) |
| 3 | Inceptors | $60 |
| 1 | Primaris Chaplain | $40 |
| 1 | Redemptor Dreadnought | $79 |
| 1 | Dark Angels Upgrade Sprue | $17.50 (old) |
| Space Wolves Combat Patrol List | ||
| Total MSRP: | $228.50 | |
| Savings Versus Box Price: | $60.50 | |
Final Thoughts on the Dark Angels Combat Patrol
The Dark Angels Combat Patrol brings decent value if you’re after everything inside (and really want those upgrades), but it’s no slam dunk. It’s a solid launchpad for a generic force, though Deathwing or Ravenwing fans may want to mix in other kits.
