Combat Patrols are what we can call “discount” boxes in the hobby. They contain a good amount of models that would cost more if you buy each one of them separately. Combat Patrols are also a good way to enter the hobby as it gives you the minimum amount of units to play the smallest game in Warhammer 40,000. For painters and collectors, these boxes are also godsend given that they contain a good variety of things to paint and collect.
