r/CombatPatrol40k

Hi i am new to warhammer and many Friends of mine were debating where is better to start with. Combat patrols/battalions or Kill team.

But then I notice that some Combat patrols include a kill team already in the box. For example

-Kroot box

-Adepta Sorotistas Armageddon box

-Red corsair box

-Night lords box

-Deathwatch Armageddon box

And I wanted to ask 2 things:

How many other boxes also contain kill teams in the box?

And Which ones do You recomend to start with in Warhammer and kill team?

Just picked up secondhand collections of the Imperial Fist and White Scars Combat Patrols.

Will I be able to play them in 11th edition as-is, or do I need to do something to make them usable?

Looking to get into quicker 40k games.

I'm trying to pick between purchasing the Emperors Children combat patrol and the Aeldari combat patrol. They both seem to have strengths but I can't really settle on which one. The EC one seems to be mostly a dark mirror to the blood angels one. Thing is I also want to go in with a plan to paint them but I've only truly settled on a paint scheme for the aeldari one whereas I only tentatively have a plan for the emperors children one. I'd like some insight into how they handle in combat patrol, good and bad.

Hey all,

Posted this about a week ago:
https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatPatrol40k/comments/1vhww74/combat_patrol_reference_companion/

All current patrols from the app are now on it - so V1.0 is live, which you can find here:
https://combat-patrol-companion.pages.dev

Summary:

• All 24 patrols that are on the WH40K app. Data sheets, rules, missions etc.
• Simplified rule wording, and tags added to explain rules (Eg - Sustained Hits 2 has a tool tip saying exactly what it does).
• Glossary covering basic rules references.
• Coming soon list, covering the rest of the patrols that are being added.

Quality of life tools:

• Switch between light/dark mode.
• Switch between 10E & 11E patrol rules where they're available for a patrol.
• Switch between as written, and what is a likely fix (stats, rules etc.)
• Filter between factions, and editions.
• Search by faction/patrol name (both plain english and faction names. Eg - Eldar, Aeldari, Ausryani all will show the Aeldari patrols)
• FAQ/Changelog - covers a few questions, and what exactly I've done in each update.

Whats Next:

• Adding the 10E patrols
  • Theres still a whopping 48 of them to do.
• Working out a PDF printable version of the patrols
  • This will take a while. Probably the final task to-do.
• Release dates & last official updates for a patrol
  • Should be a quick one to do.
• Copy changes to simplify/improve wording.
  • Particularly rules for 10th edition as they're walls of text.
  • Faction rules are a big one for this.
• UI improvements for desktop & mobile
  • Ongoing based on feedback, and my own findings.

What won't be added:

• A match playing tool
  • Thats a whole different project, and would overload whats meant to be a reference tool for factions**,** rules, effects etc.
  • Use the official app for that, or one of the third party tools already out there.
• Updating 10E factions for 11E where they don't exist.
  • I'm not a playtester. Others in the community have been doing that, and there may well be official versions of those added to the official app at some point.

Why build this?
This is a tool to help people get into combat patrol with simplified wording and all the patrol info in one place to speed up gameplay and referencing. This doesn't replace the official app.

The combat patrols on the app isn't always worded the cleanest, or data is misisng/inaccurate, meaning its a bit clunky to jump through to check things at times. This project also helps those with tablets/laptops instead of having to jump back and forth on mobile.

I built this as a challenge - firstly as a technical challenge, and as a project management challenge both to launch and maintain. From bug hunting, to feature creep... its been a lot, and helped give me a few ways to improve other projects in the future.

Massive thanks to those in the community who managed to save all the PDFs of combat patrols and save them before the 11E release, or this would have just covered the 11E patrols.

Feedback:

If you have feedback, let me know please - whether its a bug, wrong data, feature suggestions, it'll help make this better for anyone using it.

Anybody have the combat patrol data sheet for this army? I do not see it in my 40k app and I have been unable to find it online like the rest I have looked for. I am very intrigued by that army.

Hello eventually I'll be playing my first game of combat patrol against my friend. Him and I have played dozen of kt matches and he decided to pick up the new Gray Knights Combat Patrol. Ive got 4 different ones ive bought throughout the years and was curious which would be the most fun match-up? The old sisters one, the new sisters one, the newer Admech one, or the new death guard one? Any help would be appreciated!

As the title says, I'm trans and I want more trans friends. I also want to learn Warhammer 40k, and it seems like combat patrol is the way to go there. I plan on buying actual models somewhere down the line, but TTS is ideal for the time being. I'm leaning Death Guard but i'm pretty open to trying a bunch of different armies before settling on something I like to eventually buy, build and paint up. I have tried putting out this sentiment on other platforms and have been met with some "why do you need to learn from trans people?" kind of responses. I appreciate that you're willing to help/teach but that's simply not what I'm after at the moment. If my search for trans warhammer friends is entirely fruitless I'd be happy to hang out with some cis folks.

Hi, I’m new to combat patrol and am curious if there are also other game types of a similar scale but with different objectives or setups? Unofficial rulesets that use combat patrols.

Thank you.

Some Factions have army rules listed, that are not on any of the datasheets, I have found multiple glaring issues with numbers of attacks, like the strike profile attacks being equal number to the sweep profile of some units. Also, Ork boys having 1 attack unless they have the heavy chopper? What in the actual hell is going on there, and do I just use the "correct" number of attacks from the full game in these cases? Do we know what the developers are smoking?

Long story short, I've wanted to create a Combat Patrol League at my local LGS for some time and figured the launch of 11th would be a great time. I didn't realize that many of the combat patrols would not have their rules updated, and now I'm a little lost. I'm hoping I can get some pointers for:

Is there a database for 10th Edition Combat Patrols?
Since some of the most recent combat patrols don't even have rules updates for 11th (I play Tyranids and there's no Assault Brood rules even though that's the box that's on the shelf these days?), my thought is our league can use 10th Edition rules up until GW expands the lists available for play in 11th. I'm having trouble finding rules for some boxes though, namely for old Astra Militarum Drayden's Lance and Death Korps of Krieg boxes. It looks like Warhammer Community only has 11th Edition links available at the moment - is there a way to access the old 10th download links? A resource here would be super helpful as I'm trying to compile a list of PDFs for prospective league players.

Do we have any kind of timeline for when 11th will incorporate new Combat Patrols?
It would be nice to be able to let people know when we could viably make the switch to 11th, as I'm sure people are most excited to run the new edition.

All in all any advice for building a league would also be welcome. Thanks!
