What is a Combat Patrol?
A Combat Patrol is a ready-made starter army for one faction in a single box: typically a character, a squad or two of troops and something big, like a vehicle or monster. It's built for Combat Patrol, the smaller, faster way to play Warhammer 40,000, and it usually works out cheaper than buying the same kits one by one. When you're ready to go bigger, it becomes the core of a full army. Browse every box in our Warhammer 40k Combat Patrol collection.
Which box is right for me?
- Brand new to 40k? The Warhammer 40,000 Starter Set (11th Edition) gives you two push-fit armies, Space Marines and Orks, plus the core rules, boards and terrain to play that afternoon.
- Already picked a faction? Grab its Combat Patrol, such as Combat Patrol: Necrons or Combat Patrol: Chaos Space Marines.
- Want to try painting first? The Infernus Space Marines & Paint Set is three push-fit Marines with paints and a brush, no glue needed.
Still deciding? Read which 40k starter set is right for you, our 11th Edition starter sets guide and what you actually need to start 40k. Then explore your army: Space Marines, Imperium, Chaos or Xenos.
