New Space Marine Combat Patrol boxes are inbound. The announcement was made in the recent “The Big Summer Preview” during which other new models were also announced. But hey, you clicked for the Combat Patrols, right? We compiled some price savings for each box, possible discounts, and more, for one easy read.
Combat Patrols are what we can call “discount” boxes given that they contain a good number of models, which if bought separately, can cost you quite a lot. We know that collecting Warhammer 40,000 models is not a cheap endeavor, so most players and collectors get their armies and models through these boxes. While it’s not a mind-blowing discount, we’ll take whatever we can to shave off a bit on the price tag.
If you’re looking to play into the game, these boxes usually come with enough models to play the smallest game mode, “Combat Patrol”. But then again, just get one after you get one of their more cost-efficient, Starter Sets.
Click on each box to know more about each combat patrol. The table below shows each box contents compared with buying each models / upgrade sprues separately. The higher the discount, the better. Also, I took some liberty in determining the price of some box contents as some models inside them are not yet available for purchase separately.

Upgrade Sprues are sprues that contain iconography, weapons, and assemblies specific for that Space Marine company. Some Combat Patrol boxes may included an upgrade sprue or two for the models inside it. Before buying, best check out if the box includes one. If you don’t need it, you can sell it or you can repurpose the sprues to fit your models or army.

You can support my plastic crack addition (specifically my Land Raider Crusader) and get additional Element Crystals by using my affiliate code VCO8794 on Element Games UK. Let’s help one another in maintaining this hobby.
Here in the Philippines, we usually get the new boxes a few weeks or even a month or two after it gets officially announced. Best ask your local distributor or LGS on the timeframe of the arrival of these combat patrols.
