Warhammer 40K Combat Patrol Boxes – Overview of Current Starter Army Sets
This article provides an updated overview of the Warhammer 40K Combat Patrol boxes and starter army sets that are currently available for both new and experienced players.
Warhammer 40,000 is a tabletop wargame built around collecting, building, painting and commanding armies. For many players, the most practical starting point is the Combat Patrol range from Games Workshop.
Combat Patrol boxes are designed as compact starter forces that allow players to enter the Warhammer universe with a balanced group of units representing a specific faction. Each box contains a selection of miniatures intended to work together both in the Combat Patrol game mode and as the foundation for a larger army.
Most Combat Patrol sets are priced around €98–€106, making them one of the most accessible ways to begin collecting a faction while also offering noticeable value compared to purchasing the units individually.
Below is an overview of several Combat Patrol sets currently available.
