Product detailed description
| Battlefield Role | Unique features | Difficulty | Player tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| A straightforward objective-holding patrol – infantry holds goals and scores points, command boosts efficiency, support punishes the opponent at range and creates pressure in the midboard. | “Imperial Guard” style: lots of infantry, orders and discipline, a mix of rifles, special weapons and support; an ideal army for learning movement, cover, and mission play. | Medium – easy to start (clear plan: hold objectives and shoot), but it rewards good positioning, cover usage, and timing your trades. | Start with scoring: put infantry on objectives in cover, keep your commander safe, and use support fire to remove threats that would take your objectives. |
Warhammer 40k: Combat Patrol: Astra Militarum
Want to start Astra Militarum without the confusion of “what should I buy first”? This is exactly the box that gets you on the table fast: you get command, core infantry for objectives, and support that makes your opponent feel the Imperium’s firepower. In Combat Patrol you play right away – and once the “Guard” hooks you, you can easily use every model here in larger Warhammer 40,000 battles too.
What’s inside and why it works
Inside you’ll find a complete Astra Militarum Combat Patrol ready for fast games. The foundation is infantry – your units for objectives, board control, and scoring points. Command gives the army a “head” and boosts unit efficiency, while support elements add pressure and help remove threats that would otherwise break your midboard. The miniatures are unassembled and unpainted, so you can build and paint them exactly in your regiment’s style.

Where you’ll use this box
Combat Patrol is the ideal “quick start” into Warhammer 40,000: you play with fewer models and learn movement, cover, shooting, and objective play without the stress of a huge army. Astra Militarum also teaches you to play “for the mission” – you win by holding objectives, positioning well, and punishing enemy mistakes with firepower. When you’re ready to move to bigger games, this set remains a solid foundation for your army.
Why players see it as a great Astra Militarum start
- A complete, balanced force for the table – you play right away, without worrying “what am I missing?”.
- A clear beginner game plan: hold objectives, play for points, and use support to remove threats.
- A great hobby experience – uniforms, gear, insignia, and a “military” look that looks great even with a simple paintjob.
Playstyle and opponents
- Astra Militarum: board control through infantry, smart positions in cover, and fire support – you win by missions, not necessarily by pure brawling.
- Against anyone: in Combat Patrol you can play against any other patrol – Chaos, Xenos, or Imperium. Your advantage is stability and scoring.
- What it looks like on the table: infantry takes objectives, command keeps units efficient, and support punishes the opponent when they dare to step out of cover.
Box contents
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Command | The “brain” of the patrol – boosts unit efficiency and helps you keep your game plan under control. |
| Infantry (core of the army) | Your objective units – they score points, hold space, and create a safe backbone for the rest of your force. |
| Supporting fire | Helps remove threats at range and creates pressure so the opponent can’t play “comfortably”. |
| Specialists / pressure | A flexible element that reacts to the situation: reinforce the midboard, finish a weakened target, or quickly swing the mission. |
| Transfer Sheet | Decals for regiment insignia and details – quick “wow” without freehand. |
| Bases | All correct bases for the models in the set (miniatures are unassembled and unpainted). |
Classic Astra Militarum colors: green + khaki + metal (fast and “military”)
A quick beginner baseline: primer + a few paints for basecoats, shade, and details. We don’t want to overcomplicate it.
Primer (recommended)
Citadel Colour Spray: Zandri Dust
Use: The fastest start for uniforms and gear (khaki base). After that, just add green details + metal.
Core paints (minimum for “battle ready”)
Zandri Dust
Type: Base
Use: Uniforms, cloth parts, and the basic khaki look of the regiment.
Castellan Green
Type: Base
Use: Green parts of gear, helmets, armor plates, and accessories – the classic “Guard” look.
Death Korps Drab
Type: Base
Use: Darker khaki for gear, straps, and parts of uniforms (great contrast with Zandri Dust).
Mournfang Brown
Type: Base
Use: Leather straps, holsters, backpacks, and wooden parts – instantly makes the army look “real”.
Mechanicus Standard Grey
Type: Base
Use: A base for weapons (casings), technical parts, and grey panels.
Leadbelcher
Type: Base
Use: Metal parts of weapons, mechanisms, and equipment – quick metal without hassle.
Abaddon Black
Type: Base
Use: Boots, gloves, cables, and the darkest details – adds depth and readability.
Agrax Earthshade
Type: Shade
Use: A universal wash for uniforms, straps, and metal – adds “grime” and depth in minutes.
Nuln Oil
Type: Shade
Use: Clean shadows on metal and in recesses (weapons and tech will look instantly “crisp”).
Straken Green
Type: Layer
Use: Quick highlights on green (edges and folds) – the army starts to look finished even without extra techniques.
Recommended tools (optional)
Citadel Plastic Glue
Use: The simplest way to glue plastic miniatures – strong bonds and clean work.
Citadel Small Layer Brush
Use: A versatile brush for details and quick highlights – the perfect “one brush for everything”.
How to win with it (simple and effective)
| Key element | How it works |
|---|---|
| Infantry on objectives | Your foundation is scoring: hold objectives in cover and rack up points. The Guard wins “on missions” – even if you don’t shoot the most, presence on the board decides games. |
| Cover and firing angles | Let the opponent come to you. Set up so they must step out of cover – and when they do, punish them with fire. |
| Support into priority targets | Shoot what takes your objectives (fast units, elite attackers). If you take away their tempo, you break the opponent’s plan. |
| Command kept safe | Keep your commander behind units and in cover. If they survive, your whole game is steadier and your scoring plan is easier to maintain. |
Starting Warhammer? (FAQ)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Do I need the core rules and a codex? | For your first games, the core rules and Combat Patrol rules are enough. A codex is useful later when you expand your army. |
| Is this suitable for a complete beginner? | Yes. Combat Patrol is designed precisely for starting – fewer models, faster games, and a clear plan of what to do on the table. |
| Are the miniatures painted and assembled? | No – they’re unassembled and unpainted. That’s the hobby part of the fun: you build them your way and choose your regiment’s colors. |
| How long does it take? | For assembly, count a few evenings depending on your pace. For a “battle ready” paintjob, primer + a few base colors + a wash is enough – uniforms look great even with a simple approach. |
What to do after your first games
| What next? | Why |
|---|---|
| Finish your paintjob to “battle ready” | Primer, base paints, and a wash are enough – the army starts to look cohesive and playing is even more fun. |
| Play a few missions and find your style | After 3–5 games, you’ll know whether you enjoy defense, firepower pressure, or a more aggressive approach – and the Guard expands brilliantly from there. |
Expanding the army (simple tips)
| Follow-up | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| More firepower | Add heavier long-range support – the opponent stays under pressure and you can hold objectives more safely. |
| More durability and control | More units for holding the midboard or tougher elements will turn key points into “your territory”. |
| More tempo and mission closing | Add faster elements – you’ll react to missions, flank, and punish enemy mistakes exactly where it hurts. |
