Combat Patrol FAQ

What is Warhammer 40K Combat Patrol and what are Combat Patrol sized games and forces?

Warhammer 40K Combat Patrol is a streamlined game format of the classic Warhammer 40K tabletop game. Designed for faster, smaller-scale battles, it's an excellent choice for those new to the hobby or veterans looking for a quicker match.

Combat Patrol sized games are these scaled-down Warhammer 40K encounters. Rather than using the large forces seen in standard matches, these games are played with more compact, typically around 500-point armies. This creates a gameplay environment that's quicker but still filled with the strategic depth and variety the full-sized game is known for.

A Combat Patrol sized force is a Warhammer 40K army designed specifically for these types of games. These forces, usually built around a Combat Patrol Box, are smaller and more balanced, perfect for the condensed intensity of a Combat Patrol game. While a Combat Patrol Box offers a convenient starting point, these forces can certainly be customized and expanded as per the player's strategy and preference.

So, whether you're new to Warhammer 40K or looking for a different gameplay pace, Combat Patrol offers a dynamic and engaging experience.
