A Combat Patrol should feel like the first image you find when you google the army. Some manage that quite well. Others are... just 15 dudes in armor with guns.

As a mecanicus player, the cp SUCKS, the horses get wiped off the board in seconds, and these boxes total are about the cost of a combat patrol

Imagine thinking the ad mech got a good combat patrol lmao

Do you know how bad it has to be for EoB to say it stinks? Usually he just said fine in a sad or defeated way.

It's nice from James Workshop to give you some thousand sons space marines with the Zangor combat patrol

I know everyone gets hot and bothered about points, but I just wish they all felt like a fair amount of plastic. The Vehicle (centerpiece), Infantry, Elite, Character should be the platonic ideal of a combat patrol. From there, fill in with extras so all boxes are close in weight and volume.

For the Space Marines you might as well buy the ultimate starter set. In the UK it’s only £35 more and you get the terrain, the Tyranid combat patrol, all the dice, rules, game board etc. much better value.

The new Admech one isnt even 300 points :(

Grey Knights patrol is fantastic. There are people who have bought 3 or 4 of these - all of the sprues minus the librarian can be built in as a bunch of different units. Grandmaster or Regular Dreadknight. Strike Marines/Interceptors/Purgators/purifiers. Terminators/Paladins. A little kitbashing can turn the Librarian into a chaplain or other character. Really solid. Getting your whole army at a discount is really good.

Favorite quote I heard about the BA combat patrol "it's a solid combat patrol, but it's not blood angels"

I am once again asking for a Orikan, Trazyn painting video

"it's a lot of pox walkers- it's like if the Ork combat patrol came with a bunch of Gretchen" that's literally what I want Jay, ya don't understand Orkz!!!

Notably, the Tau combat patrol will be changing once the codex officially drops. New contents are 10 fire warriors, 10 Pathfinders, 1 coldstar/enforcer commander and a devilfish

Psychophage and Norn are criminally underpowered for how awesome the models are

Those havocs come with 2 (TWO) of euch heavy weapon and you can fully magnetize the hellbrute with minimal effort; as an old school chaos dude, this box was nice for getting lots of the "new" upscaled marines for cheap

The Grey Knight box is pretty great since you can get an entire army from just 2-3 of it tbh. It's value has taken a hit since the 2 or 3 price hikes they've done for Combat Patrols.

You get the Wraithlord, not the Wraithknight in the Aeldari Combat Patrol. The Wraithknight is the 100£ Aeldari. Wraithlord is only 45.

I say the Astra Militarum ome as is, it is pretty good. You kinda need like, multiple of all these units. Maybe not the FOBs, they alright, but everything else you definitely want tons of.
