Sister to Nerdworks, ArtSabers & Paragon. Loyalty redeems across the family.
If you've been eyeing the Astartes from across the saloon and waiting for the right moment to walk in, this is it. Combat Patrol: Space Marines is Games Workshop's calling-card kit — ten plastic miniatures covering the whole shape of a 10th-edition Space Marines force in one box.
You get a Captain in Terminator Armour to lead the boys, five Tactical Marines for the rifle line, three Aggressors with thunder gauntlets for when things get up close, and an Apothecary to keep the chapter roster honest. It plays the official Combat Patrol mission deck out of the box — quick games, decisive battles, low table-space cost.
Push-fit construction means no glue if you're in a hurry; the kit assembles in a couple of evenings at hobby pace. The chapter symbol transfer sheet covers the major Founding Chapters and most of the Successor lot besides, so whether you're flying Ultramarines blue, Salamanders green, Imperial Fists yellow or your own homebrew heraldry, you're set.
New to the hobby? Walk through our Edge Highlighting tutorial below after you've finished assembly — it's the single move that takes a Combat Patrol from "table-ready" to "table-talked-about."

"Picked this up as my first 40K force after a fifteen-year break. Push-fit assembly is honest-to-god foolproof — I had the Captain done in twenty minutes. Transfer sheet alone is worth the difference vs grabbing it on the high street. Shipped next day, packed properly. War Dungeon's box is now in my regular rotation."
"Bought for my partner's birthday with the Macragge primer bundle. He had the Apothecary painted before the cake came out. Loyalty points landed same day — straight into a redemption at Nerdworks for an MTG bundle. Cross-brand setup actually works as advertised."
"Solid kit, no complaints with the contents. Knocking a star off for the transfer sheet creasing in transit — got a replacement out same week, so no harm done. The Edge Highlighting tutorial linked under the kit page is genuinely the best beginner resource I've seen anywhere."

The paints and one tool you'll need to get this Combat Patrol on the board. Curation, not upsell.
Hand-picked how-tos written by painters who've put hands on this exact box.
The single move that takes Ultramarines blue from "table-ready" to "table-talked-about". Brush angle, paint thinning ratio, the two-pass rule. Worked example on a Tactical Marine.
Aggressors with thunder gauntlets one game, flame gauntlets the next. Drill size, magnet polarity, what to glue and what to leave loose. One-evening project, lifetime of swappable load-outs.
