Check out three new Space Wolves, Black Templars, and Tyranid Combat Patrols for Warhammer 40k, packed with minis and perfect for starting a new force.
Combat Patrol has become the go-to format for kicking off a Warhammer 40k army. Small, balanced forces, quick games, and a perfect entry point for new projects, what’s not to love? And now, we’ve got three fresh boxes incoming from Games Workshop, each bringing something different to the table.
One of these Combat Patrols we’d spotted in the Space Wolves codex already, but GW hadn’t actually revealed the box until now.
And with three very different factions about to get the new Combat Patrol smell, it’s time to size them up and see who’s bringing the most teeth, claws, swords, or talons to the party. Let’s break them down and see who’s bringing the claws, swords, and chitin.
Space Wolves Combat Patrol
Space Wolves fans, rejoice. The new Combat Patrol is finally official. We saw this one teased right there in the codex, but this is the first time GW’s put it all together in a box. Check out our value breakdown here!
This set is all about getting stuck in. You get:
- 5 Wolf Guard Terminators
- 10 Blood Claws
- A Wolf Guard Battle Leader
- 5 Wulfen
It’s fast, durable, and punches hard in close combat. If you want to start a Space Wolves force, this is your golden ticket, and possibly the most feral core you can build on right now.
Black Templars Combat Patrol
Not to be outdone, the Black Templars are making a claim for melee supremacy. Their new Combat Patrol means business.
In the box:
- Emperor’s Champion
- 10-man Crusader Squad
- 3 Bladeguard Veterans
- 5 Sword Brethren
- Check out our value breakdown here!
It’s a close combat powerhouse that can still throw down respectable firepower when needed. Expect this set to appeal to players who want their games to look like a medieval crusade in space, complete with heavy armor and plenty of blades.
Tyranid Assault Brood Combat Patrol
On the other side of the battlefield, the Tyranids bring something nasty with the Tyranid Assault Brood. Check out our value breakdown here!
What you get:
- 10 Genestealers
- 3 Tyrant Guard
- 1 Biovore
- The terrifying Parasite of Mortrex
This box gives you flexibility right out of the gate, with fast-moving infantry, durable bodyguards, and some solid ranged support. Tyranid players looking for an aggressive core will feel right at home here regardless of the miss on theme…
Final Thoughts
These new Combat Patrols show GW’s commitment to keeping the format fresh and exciting, and finally seeing that Space Wolves box officially revealed is a nice treat. If you’ve been waiting for a reason to start a new army (or just add another one to your pile of shame), now’s your chance.
So choose your faction, and get ready for fast, brutal games at Combat Patrol scale.

What are the tryanid guard guarding in that combat patrol?
The Tyranid one is so bad with zero cohesion at all.
