Combat Patrol

Combat Patrol is the quickest and most straightforward way to start collecting and playing Warhammer 40,000. In Combat Patrol games, each player commands a compact army of Warhammer miniatures in fast-paced, action-packed clashes.

With pre-defined Combat Patrol rosters for each faction, there is no need to create an army list – simply choose your favourite faction, assemble your miniatures, and prepare for battle.

Combat Patrol is also an excellent opportunity to try out different armies on the tabletop. Whichever you choose, you will soon learn your army’s strengths and weaknesses, and gain the skills needed to claim victory on larger battlefields.
