All The Warhammer 40k Combat Patrol Box Pricing & Values
So we’ve seen quite a few of these Combat Patrol box sets, and now the pricing for them has been raised to $150. From that, we can assume for now that they will all stay at that price, hopefully for a while.
Overall, Games Workshop is trying to give about $50-$60 of value in every box; however, some have more than that, as we’ll show you below in our Combat Patrol pricing and values breakdown!
Deathwatch Combat Patrol

The Combat Patrol kits are an entire army in a box. As the name implies, each one contains a complete Combat Patrol-sized force of 25 Power or 500 points. That makes them perfect for getting started with the smaller-sized games of Warhammer 40,000, which are full of fast-paced action and a great way to learn the rules for your new army.
Basically, each of the boxes comes with 500 points. Nothing too crazy about a similar amount of points in the old style, start collecting boxes. This can help you get started on a new Deathwatch army or add to your existing forces. Let’s look at everything you get:
- 10 Intercessors: $60
- 3 Aggressors: $50
- Primaris Lieutenant with Power Sword: $35
- Primaris Apothecary: $35
- Deathwatch Upgrade Sprue $14 (at least one included)
Total MSRP: $194
Savings Versus Box Price: $54
Not a terrible value, but if you don’t want or need the characters, it doesn’t really save you any money. $70 of the kit value comes in the way of two characters, so if you have them already, this probably isn’t worth the pickup.
Space Wolves Combat Patrol

Combat Patrol sets are also ideal as a base for building a larger army. So, once you’ve played a few games at Combat Patrol level, you can easily expand to an Incursion-sized force and beyond.
Just like the Deathwatch box, this one comes with 500 points. It also includes a 5 man unit that can right now only be bought in ten-man increments. Let’s see the value in this box.
- 10 Intercessors: $60
- 5 Reivers: $35 (Normally $60 for 10)
- Invictor Warsuit: $60
- Primaris Space Wolves Lieutenant: $35
- At least one Space Wolves Upgrade Sprue $14 (previous price when sold separately)
Total MSRP: $204
Savings Versus Box Price: $64
With this kit only having one character, the value comes more in the units. This is a way better value for starting an army than the Deathwatch one.
Blood Angels Combat Patrol Box
Get your Blood Angels combat patrol for less on Amazon or eBay
- Space Marines Impulsor: $75
- Space Marines Primaris Aggressors: $50
- Combat Patrol (pun intended) of Intercessors: $35
- Combat Patrol (pun intended) of Infilitrators: $35
- Primaris Librarian: $35
- Two Blood Angels Upgrade Sprues: $28 ($14 previous price when sold separately)
Total MSRP: $258
Savings Versus Box Price: $118
This has been the best value by far in terms of dollars. They just really put a ton of stuff into this one! Basically more than doubled the other Marine values. If you play Blood Angels, this has a ton of value in it.
Death Guard Combat Patrol
Get your Death Guard combat patrol for less on Amazon or eBay
The chosen of Nurgle arrive in force to spread the virulent plagues of their devoted grandfather with a brand new Combat Patrol boxed set packed with everything you need to begin your campaign of contagion in the 41st Millennium.
The box comes with Typhus, Plague Marines, Poxwalkers, and a Biologus Putrifier. People were a little upset about the Poxwalkers getting such a big feature in this. Because most times, people mainly only want one unit to sit on objectives.
- 30 Poxwalkers $105 ($35 for a box of ten this week)
- 7 Plague Marines $50
- Typhus $40
- Biologus Putrifier $30
Total MSRP: $225
Savings Versus Box Price: $85
So the value looks pretty good, but it basically all comes in the form of Poxwalkers. If you need them, get this box! But not many people play Death Guard for the Poxwalkers, so it is what it is on that front.
Dark Angels Combat Patrol:
Get your Dark Angels combat patrol for less on Amazon or eBay
The Primaris Chaplain, Redemptor Dreadnought, Inceptors, and Intercessors in this set provide you with a budding Dark Angels army with a Power Level of around 25 – perfect for Combat Patrol-sized battles. Whether you’re looking to start a new collection of the Unforgiven or you already have a Dark Angels army that you’re looking to expand, Combat Patrol: Dark Angels is a great way to pick up a handy selection of units while saving yourself a few pennies.
Since this one doesn’t come with too many characters, the value is actually in the units. Let’s look at everything you get:
- 5 Intercessors $35 ($60 for 10)
- 3 Inceptors $50
- Primaris Chaplain $35
- Redemptor Dreadnaught $65
- At least One Dark Angels Upgrade Sprue $14
Total: $199
Savings Versus Box Price: $59
The value of this box is a little below what we’ve seen before. But still, if you need all the minis in the set, it will save you some cash. It is a quick way to get 500 points in one buy if you’re just getting into the faction.
Drukhari Combat Patrol
Get your Dark Eldar combat patrol for less on Amazon or eBay
This boxed set contains 18 plastic models, making up a force that’s perfect as an army for Combat Patrol-sized games or the start of a Crusade force. Top tip: adding the Drukhari half of Piety and Pain would be an awesome move. Combat Patrol: Drukhari is themed around the Kabals, with an Archon leading 10 Kabalite Warriors and five Incubi into battle. Every raid needs speed and firepower, and that’s where the Raider and Ravager come in.
The box comes with some actually useful units! Everything in the box is generally fielded in most games. So even if the value isn’t too giant, it’s still useful. While it doesn’t come with transports for everything, it’s a start. Also, when the book releases, we assume things like Ravagers and Incubi will be hard to find. Let’s check out the value.
- 10 Kabalite Warriors $36
- 1 Raider $48
- 1 Ravager $55
- 5 Incubi $55
- Archon $29 (out of stock online)
Total MSRP: $223
Savings Versus Box Price: $83
So, it’s hard to pass up with the value and what’s in this combat patrol breakdown wise. Overall, this is a pretty solid box and worth it for most new or seasoned DE players. This is definitely one of the most useful and desirable Combat Patrols they’ve come out with up to this point.
Adeptus Mechanicus Combat Patrol
Get your Adeptus Mechanicus combat patrol for less on Amazon or eBay
The good thing about this box, Rangers, Breachers, and a Dunecralwer can never be that bad. The only thing that’s a little unfortunate is it’s another box with an Enginseer, most people seem to have way too many of them laying around.
- Dunecralwer $75
- 10 Rangers $44
- 3 Breachers $58
- Tech-Priest Enginseer $33
Total MSRP: $210
Savings Versus Box Price: $70
This doesn’t have quite as good of a value as some of the other boxes but is better than some of the marine boxes and has more useful units than the DG box. If you need the minis inside, it’s totally worthwhile, because it basically gives you the Dunecrawler for free.
Space Marines Combat Patrol
Get your Space Marines combat patrol for less on Amazon or eBay
Just going to say it, not really the best mixture of units we’ve seen, but the value in terms of dollars is really there. Just the fact that none of the units included really make great use of the Impulsor makes this a strange mix. We were hoping for something a little different than before, but hey, it ain’t happening! Anyway, let’s see how many hobby dollars it can save you.
- Impulsor $75
- Ten-man Infiltrator Squad $60 (Multi-part kit price)
- Eliminators $50 (Multi-part kit price)
- Phobos Lieutenant $35
- Suppressors $50? Does not have an individual kit yet…Following the price for Eliminators
Total MSRP: $270ish…
Savings Versus Box Price: $100 (same as old Start Collecting box) plus a discounted Impulsor
Again, it’s the same value as the old box but with an Impulsor for $45. It’s also a little hard to figure because the Infiltrators aren’t multi-part and can’t be built into the Incursors either. So the $60 on them isn’t really what that kit would go for (maybe).
But the value is really there when you just look at the numbers. So if you want or need the minis in this set, it’s really worth it dollar-wise. It’s actually one of the highest values we’ve seen so far, just again, a strange smattering of units. Still, the value is really there if you don’t have any of these yet!
Necrons Combat Patrol
Get your Necrons combat patrol for less on Amazon or eBay
We thought they would be getting Necrons Indomitus version #52 for a combat patrol as their codex suggested, but it looks like we’re getting something a little bit fresher that contains all these multi-part kits. Nothing wrong with more bits! Let’s look at everything inside:
- 10 Immortals or Deathmarks $76 ($38 ea)
- Night Scythe or Doom Scythe $60
- Tomb Blades $49
- Overlord $28
Total MSRP: $213
Savings Versus Box Price: $73
This kit is a little underwhelming as it has such a random assortment of minis and doesn’t really help too much if you are just starting the army. But if you were able to get in on Indomitus, that was such a good deal it’s hard to complain.
Still, if you need the minis, it’s basically like getting the Doom Scythe and overlord for free. Overall it’s right around the value point they are trying to hit but doesn’t really come close to the value and units in the recent Drukhari box.
Sisters of Battle Combat Patrol
Get your Sisters combat patrol for less on Amazon or eBay
Before we go too much further though, this is basically exactly what was inside the old box, just with a Rhino added and the codex was taken out. Plus, there are some tiny units inside, which basically will do nothing for your collection, so just a little strange overall.
Let’s get into the value!
- Canoness $35
- Battle Sisters Squad $60
- Repentia Squad $25 ($50 for 10)
- 1x Penitent Engine $35 ($60 for 2)
- 3x Arco Flagellants $15 ($50 for $10)
- Rhino $60
- Seraphim Squad $55
Total MSRP: $285
Savings Versus Box Price: $145
Normally the value on these is under $100, but this one is a bit better due to the split squads from the army box. Still, they aren’t super helpful. Because who wants to field one Penitent Engine or 3 Arco Flagellants? Again though, if you need the minis, it saves you a decent amount of cash.
Orks Combat Patrol
Get your Orks combat patrol for less on Amazon or eBay
This is honestly a pretty fun box because you get Deffkoptas, a Dread, 20 of the new Boyz, and the new Warboss. So whether you’ve played for a while, or are just starting an army it is a good smattering of mostly new units. Plus the value though might be the highest yet, now that we’ve seen how much prices are going to be on similar unit kits that are sold separately.
So if you do need the units inside, this is probably more than worth the pickup (yes even with the limited weapon options in our opinion…).
- 20 Ork Boyz $90 ($45 each)
- 3 Deffkoptas $60
- Deff Dread $55
- Warboss in Mega Armor $35
Total MSRP: $240
Savings Versus Box Price: $100
Again this is one of the higher boxes we’ve seen in terms of value, so even though they are push-fit without all the weapon options, this is hard to beat. Most of the time combat patrol values are in the $70-$80 range, so this going up to $100 is pretty solid now that three of the four units inside have been released on their own even.
That gives it some even more intrinsic early access value, plus in theory veterans can just mix in some of the new models into their existing squads too.
Black Templars 40k Combat Patrol Box:
Get your Black Templars combat patrol for less on Amazon or eBay
Once again the new codex shows what appears to be the contents of a new Black Templars Combat Patrol box on page 42. Plus this release has now been confirmed by Games Workshop, with the contents being exactly what is pictured below!
Don’t forget too, this box also comes with the upgrade sprues set as well- which we suspected based on the bits shown on the Impulsor and some of the regular intercessors.
Let’s get into the value
- 5 man Primaris Combat Squad $35 ($60 for 10)
- 10 Man Crusader Squad $60
- Black Templars Marshal $35
- Impulsor Kit $75
- Upgrade Sprue kit x1 $35
Total MSRP: $240
Savings Versus Box Price: $100
From this, the value seems to be lining up with the values and pricing that we would normally expect to see from a Combat Patrol Box offering. However, it’s worth noting that it is not as “portable” over to use with generic Space Marine factions outside of Templars.
Tau Combat Patrol:
Get your Tau combat patrol for less on Amazon 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: $50
- Fireblade: $29
- Stealth Battlesuits: $34
- Ghostkeel Battlesuit: $80
- Ethereal: $30 (the Ethereal pictured is the one from the current Start Collecting box, so this is priced a little higher)
Total MSRP: $223
Savings Versus Box Price: $83
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 for fairly cheap.
Thousand Sons Combat Patrol:
Get your Thousands Sons combat patrol for less on Amazon 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.
Just to note, we’re going to assume this will stay at the $140 price point as everyone has been the same price so far. Let’s check out what this will save you:
- 5x Scarab Occult Terminators $60
- Infernal Master $35 (Based on recent characters)
- 20X Tzangors $88
Total MSRP: $183
Savings Versus Box Price: $43
Grey Knights Combat Patrol:
Get your Tau combat patrol for less on Amazon or eBay
The Grey Knights one is pretty similar to the Hexfire box, so if you grabbed that one this might still have some value for you. Because who doesn’t need more minis and they switched out the Crowe for the Terminators. So some pretty decent stuff overall.
Just to note, we’re going to assume this will stay at the $140 price point as everyone has been the same price so far. Let’s check out what this will save you:
- Terminator Squad: $54
- Dreadknight: $60
- 5x Strike Squad: $35 ($60 for 10)
- Librarian: $35
Total Value: $184
Savings Versus Box Price: $44
Adeptus Custodes Combat Patrol: What is the Value?
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.
Just to note, we’re going to assume this will stay at the $140 price point as everyone has been the same price so far. Let’s check out what this will save you:
- 10x Sisters of Silence: $98
- Shield-Captain on Dawneagle Jetbike: $60
- Vexilus Praetors: $60
Total MSRP: $218
Savings Versus Box Price: $78
Genestealer Cults Combat Patrol: What is the Value?
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.
Just to note, we’re going to assume this will stay at the $140 price point as everyone has been the same price so far. Let’s check out what this will save you:
- 20x Neophyte Hybrids: $88
- Magus: $30
- Goliath Rockgrinder: $60
- Aberrants: $40
- Acolyte Hybrids: $40
Total Value: $258
Savings Versus Box Price: $118
Warhammer 40k Eldar Combat Patrol Box:
Get your Eldar combat patrol for less on Amazon 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 keep in mind that the boxes are going 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:
Get your Eldar combat patrol for less on Amazon 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:
One quick thing to note as well, they haven’t released the price for this, but we’re hoping and assuming they will keep it at the $150 price tag from the February 2022 price increases.
Honestly, though, the box has a decent mix of units inside that should be a good kicking-off point for new players. Plus, when you compare it to something like the recent Thousand Sons box, it seems to be a better force actually to build an army around.
Let’s check out the value!
- 10 Legionaries $60
- Dark Apostle & Disciples $38
- 5 Havocs $60
- Hellbrute $60
Total MSRP:$218
Chaos Space Marines Combat Patrol Box Set Retail Price $150 (most likely)
Savings Versus Box Price: $68
Which Combat Patrol Has the Best Value?
If you look just at the numbers, the Blood Angels box just comes out as the winner. But if you look at the units involved, the Drukahri really come out the winner there, 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. If you want a lot of Poxwalkers, it is the box for you.
The clear loser, to us at least, is the Deathwatch box. That’s because if you don’t need the characters, you basically get no real value, as the characters make up $70 of the money. But either way, they all save you some cash and get you a bunch of minis in one buy.
