| The Blood Angels' take on the Combat Patrol is actually a decent showing! While the Impulsor and Aggressors have been nerfed, they're still solid units. While the split between Incursors and Intercessors is odd, they're both solid units. the Intercessors are better shooters while the Incursors (who can also be built as the supportive Infiltrators) are better jacks of all trades units that deny cover and can decently get to objectives, while not entirely sucking in melee.

| Okay, WOW. The Death Guard Combat Patrol goes HARD on Poxwalkers, when they probably could have used a bit less of those. Plague Marines are still a core to a Death Guard army, Typhus got BUFFED, and the Biologis Putrifier is still a potent grenadier. They could have cooled it on the Poxwalkers, though.

Revision as of 19:28, 9 January 2022

Combat Patrol Boxes are GW's replacement for the Start Collecting! boxes for 40K. They are more expensive but contain more units, and at least in theory contain everything you need for a 500pt army.

For the Age of Sigmar equivalent, see Vanguard Boxes.

The boxes themselves

Deathwatch 1 Primaris Lieutenant, 1 Primaris Apothecary, 10 Intercessors, 3 Aggressors, 2 Deathwatch upgrade sprues $$$ Good While Aggressors are nowhere near as good as they once were, they're still sturdy enough option for a person's first Deathwatch Army.
