Product detailed description
| Battlefield Role | Unique Features | Difficulty | Player Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| A fast strike force for the Combat Patrol format – mobility, ambushes, and pressure on key points. | Jackal Alphus + 5× Atalan Jackals + Achilles Ridgerunner + 10× Hybrid Metamorphs (can also be built as Acolyte Hybrids) – speed + fire support + a melee “hit squad” in one box. | Medium – easy to start, but rewards smart deployment, flanks, and well-timed attacks. | Play “from cover”: send the Jackals to the flanks to pressure objectives, keep the Ridgerunner as fire support, and commit the Metamorphs to decisive melee only once your opponent loses position. |
Warhammer 40K: Combat Patrol: Genestealer Cults
Want to start Genestealer Cults without complicated points? Combat Patrol: Genestealer Cults is an “open & play” start for the Combat Patrol format: a fast, hard-hitting, and thematic force built around infiltration, ambushes, and attacks from unexpected angles. The box includes everything you need for your first games – and it’s also a great foundation for expanding your cult later.
What’s inside and why it works
Inside you’ll find 17 miniatures that do exactly what Genestealer Cults love: fast moves, flanking plays, fire support from a light vehicle, and a hard melee punch. The bikers claim space on the table, the Ridgerunner helps remove key targets, and the Metamorphs/Acolytes finish the job up close.

Where this set fits
This is a starter army box for Warhammer 40,000 – the Genestealer Cults faction. In Combat Patrol you play directly with the contents of the box, and once the game hooks you, the units can easily be used in “full-size” Warhammer 40,000 as a foundation for expanding your army.
Main benefits for beginners
- A fast start without counting points – the box is ready for Combat Patrol games.
- Teaches core tactics: flanks, objective pressure, and timing your strike.
- Flexible build options for the Metamorphs (alternatively Acolyte Hybrids) and a great base to expand your cult.
What it most often plays into
- Genestealer Cults: infiltration, ambushes, fast moves, multi-angle pressure, and a “hit & run” playstyle.
- Imperium (e.g. Space Marines / Astra Militarum): durable units, steady shooting, and strong space control.
- How the Cult wins: steal the tempo – block key moves, win on objectives, and land a decisive blow into a weakened point at the right moment.
Box contents
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| 1× Jackal Alphus | Leader and “marker” for objective pressure – supports your attacks and helps focus down key enemies. |
| 5× Atalan Jackals | Mobile unit for flanks and objective control – claims space quickly and forces your opponent to respond. |
| 1× Achilles Ridgerunner | Fire support and a utility vehicle – maintains pressure at range and helps deal with tougher targets. |
| 10× Hybrid Metamorphs | Melee strike squad – perfect for finishing weakened units; can alternatively be built as Acolyte Hybrids. |
| Bases for all models | All required bases to start playing once assembled. |
| Assembly instructions | Step-by-step build guide (models are unpainted and require assembly). |
Recommended paints for fast painting
A basic palette for quick “battle ready” and an easy path to expand into more detail.
Primer (recommended)
Citadel Spray: Chaos Black
Use: A fast universal base for all paints – improves adhesion and speeds up your workflow.
Main model colors
Naggaroth Night
Use: Core cult purple – clothing, armor plates, and the main surfaces of the force.
Leadbelcher
Use: Metal parts of weapons, gear, bikes, and the vehicle.
Rakarth Flesh
Use: Pale “mutant” skin, bones, and organic details for contrast.
Detail accents
Mephiston Red
Use: Cloth accents, cult markings, lights, and small details.
Steel Legion Drab
Use: Leather parts, straps, pouches, and a “grimy” industrial look.
Shading (Shade / Wash)
Nuln Oil
Use: Quick recess shading (especially on metal and machinery) – a “battle ready” effect in no time.
Highlighting (optional)
Xereus Purple
Use: Quick highlights on purple areas (edges and raised spots) for more readable models.
Assembly and hobby tools
Citadel Plastic Glue
Use: Gluing plastic parts – strong bond and clean results without “lumps”.
Citadel Base Brush (M)
Use: Fast basecoating on larger areas (clothing, skin, vehicle).
Citadel Layer Brush (S)
Use: Details, edges, symbols, and small gear elements.
Simple tactics for your first games
| Key element | How it works |
|---|---|
| Flanks and objective pressure | Send the Atalan Jackals to the flanks and onto objectives – claim space and force your opponent to split their forces. |
| Ridgerunner as support | Position it with lines of sight into the center to “guard” key lanes – it helps open the way for melee. |
| Metamorphs as the finisher | Don’t commit them too early – wait until your opponent exposes a weakness, then finish the softened target in melee. |
| Play for tempo | It’s not about winning every shootout – win with position: points, angles, ambushes, and a decisive strike at the right time. |
New to Warhammer? (FAQ)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Do I need the rules in a book? | No. Combat Patrol rules are available as a free download – you just need dice, a measuring tape, and assembled models. |
| Are the models painted and assembled? | No. The miniatures are plastic, supplied unpainted, and require assembly (we recommend plastic glue). |
| How long does a first “battle ready” paint job take? | A beginner can do a quick method: primer + 3–5 paints + a wash. The result looks great on the table and is fast. |
| Can I use this in full Warhammer 40,000 too? | Yes. Combat Patrol units are full Warhammer models – later you just add more units and play larger formats. |
How to continue after your first games
| What next? | Why |
|---|---|
| Expand with Neophyte Hybrids / Aberrants / Patriarch | You’ll gain more objective units and a stronger punch – the army becomes more stable in larger formats. |
| Add terrain and game accessories | Terrain improves gameplay (cover, movement, firing angles) and accessories speed up play and scoring. |
Where to go next in your Genestealer Cults army
| Direction | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| More units for objectives | Add more battleline and support so you keep board control and have room to “spread” pressure. |
| More mobility | More fast elements let you launch ambushes from multiple angles and your opponent won’t keep up. |
| More firepower | Add shooting for situations where you need to remove a tough target at range and open the way for the final melee. |
