Product detailed description
| Battlefield role | Unique features | Difficulty | Player tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| A durable objective patrol – infantry holds the center, “tanks” among terminators and marines survive trades, and support elements pressure the enemy through gradual, relentless board control. | Nurgle “plague” style: extreme durability, patient game pace, lots of grime, corrosion and iconic details; an army that wins by refusing to be shifted off objectives until the opponent “breaks” on it. | Medium – the rules and plan are straightforward (go to objectives and survive), but it rewards good deployment, use of cover, and timing your pressure trades in the middle. | Hold the middle: put durable units on the key objective, don’t overextend without cover, and focus fire on things that deny you points (fast units and elite attackers). |
Warhammer 40k: Combat Patrol: Death Guard
Want an army that won’t stop, will endure, and will slowly dismantle your opponent’s plan? Combat Patrol: Death Guard is an ideal start into Nurgle’s legions: you get a durable core that can hold objectives and units that are nasty both up close and at range. Build, paint, and jump straight into games – and once Death Guard hooks you, every model will fit perfectly into a larger Warhammer 40,000 army too.
What’s inside and why it works
In the box you’ll find a complete Combat Patrol Death Guard ready for fast games. The core is made of durable units that aren’t afraid to stand on an objective and survive trades. Death Guard win by holding space, punishing mistakes, and slowly “wearing down” the enemy – each round you’re a little closer, while your opponent loses momentum. The miniatures are unassembled and unpainted, so you can build and paint them exactly in the style of your Plague Company.

Where you’ll use this box
Combat Patrol is the ideal “quick start” into Warhammer 40,000: you play with fewer models, learn movement, cover, shooting, and objective play without the stress of a huge army. Death Guard will teach you to play patiently and efficiently – you win by holding objectives, surviving trades, and forcing the opponent into mistakes. When you’re ready to move to larger games, this set remains a solid foundation for your army.
Why players see it as a great Death Guard start
- A complete, balanced force for the table – play immediately, without wondering “what am I still missing”.
- A clear game plan: hold objectives, endure pressure, and win on points through durability and board control.
- A great hobby experience – rust, grime, details, pipes, and mutations look amazing even with a simple paint job.
Playstyle and opponents
- Death Guard: slow, relentless pace, high durability, and mid-board control – the opponent has to “chew through” you.
- Against anyone: in Combat Patrol you can play against any other patrol – Chaos, Xenos, or Imperium. Your advantage is stability and surviving trades.
- What it looks like on the table: you take the key objective, keep it under pressure, and gradually break the opponent’s ability to score.
Box contents
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Command | The “brain” of the patrol – holds your game plan together, helps you push the mid-board, and supports your durable units. |
| Durable core | Your objective units – they survive trades and hold the space where the game is decided. |
| Striking force | The element that punishes the enemy when they get close – ideal for mid-board trades and finishing key fights. |
| Support / pressure | Helps control space, restrict the opponent, and create long-term scoring pressure. |
| Transfer Sheet | Decals for icons and details – quick “wow” without freehand. |
| Bases | All the correct bases for the models in the set (miniatures are unassembled and unpainted). |
Recommended paints and painting
A base palette for quick “battle ready” plus an easy path to add more detail later.
Primer (recommended)
Citadel Colour Spray: Death Guard Green
Use: The fastest start for classic Death Guard armour – one spray gives you the main colour and a solid base for a wash.
Main model colours
Death Guard Green
Use: Armour and the overall “Nurgle” look – the main tone that ties the whole army together.
Balthasar Gold
Use: Brass trims, icons, and reliefs – instantly creates that signature Death Guard look.
Leadbelcher
Use: Weapons, chains, vents, and mechanical parts – fast metal that really “pops” after shading.
Extra details
Rakarth Flesh
Use: Bones, horns, teeth, parchments, and pale “sickly” details – a perfect base for dirty washes.
Screamer Pink
Use: Guts, tentacles, wounds, and mutations – adds a nasty contrast that Death Guard love.
Shading (Shade / Wash)
Athonian Camoshade
Use: The key wash for Death Guard armour – deepens recesses and adds a dirty, diseased tone in minutes.
Highlighting (optional)
Nurgling Green
Use: Quick edge highlight on armour and raised details – models look finished without extra complexity.
Effects and base (optional)
Typhus Corrosion
Use: Corrosion, grime, and texture on metal, vents, and armour damage – the perfect “filthy” finish.
Assembly and tools
Citadel Plastic Glue
Use: The easiest route for plastic miniatures – strong bond and clean work.
Citadel Small Layer Brush
Use: A versatile brush for details and highlights – more than enough for a Combat Patrol.
Citadel Shade Brush
Use: Ideal for washes (Athonian Camoshade) – fewer tide marks and better control in recesses.
How to win with it (simple and effective)
| Key element | How it works |
|---|---|
| Hold the center and objectives | Death Guard win by standing on objectives and surviving. Set up in cover, don’t get baited off-plan, and score points turn after turn. |
| Trade on your terms | Don’t fear mid-board trades, but do them smart: the enemy must pay a lot to shift you. When they run out of steam, their momentum and scoring collapse. |
| Prioritize threats to scoring | Shoot and pressure units that deny you objectives (fast squads, elite attackers). If you take away their tempo, you win the mission game. |
| Patience = victory | Death Guard don’t need to sprint. Play calmly, keep formation, and slowly grind the opponent down – your strength is survival and board control. |
Starting Warhammer? (FAQ)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Do I need the rules and a codex? | For your first games, the core rules and Combat Patrol rules are enough. A codex is useful later, once you expand your army. |
| Is it suitable for a complete beginner? | Yes. Combat Patrol is designed exactly for starting out – fewer models, faster games, and a clear plan of what to do on the table. |
| Are the miniatures painted and assembled? | No – they are unassembled and unpainted. That’s the hobby part of the fun: you build them your way and choose your Plague Company colours. |
| How long does it take? | Expect a few evenings for assembly, depending on your pace. For “battle ready” paint, primer + a few base colours + a wash is enough – Death Guard look great even with simple grime. |
What to do after your first games
| What next? | Why |
|---|---|
| Finish the “battle ready” paint job | Primer + base colours + a wash is enough – the army starts to look cohesive, and playing becomes even more fun. |
| Play a few missions and find your style | After 3–5 games you’ll know whether you want more durability, more mid-board pressure, or more support. Death Guard then expand very naturally. |
Expanding the army (simple tips)
| Direction | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| More durability and mid-board | Add more tough units for holding objectives – the opponent will have to take risks, while you score steadily. |
| More pressure and tempo | Add elements that accelerate mission pressure – you’ll punish mistakes and force the opponent into uncomfortable choices. |
| More “Nurgle” effects | Expand paints with corrosion, grime, and slime effects – the army will look extremely thematic without complex techniques. |
