Product detailed description
| Battlefield role | Unique features | Difficulty | Player tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fast starter force for the Combat Patrol format – a compact Drukhari Coven army for your first games and for pressuring objectives. | Haemonculus + 2× “pain engine” (Talos/Cronos) + 10× Wracks – a small number of units, but lots of durability and brutal melee threats. | Medium – easy to get on the table, but rewards good monster positioning and smart use of support. | Keep the Wracks on objectives and “screen” them with your monsters; push the Talos forward as a threat and keep the Cronos closer to support, depending on how you build it. |
Warhammer 40k: Combat Patrol: Drukhari
Want to start Drukhari and play right away? This is the perfect entry point: you get a compact Combat Patrol force built around the sadistic flesh-crafting covens – Wracks as a solid core, a Haemonculus as your leader, and two monstrous “pain engine” platforms (Talos/Cronos) as your main hammer. Perfect for your first games without the stress of list-building, and a great foundation to expand into a full army.
What’s inside and why it works
Inside you’ll find 13 Drukhari models (Haemonculus, 10× Wracks, and 2× large Pain Engines – Talos/Cronos). That gives you a clear game plan: Wracks hold ground and score objectives, while Talos/Cronos apply pressure and punish opponents for positional mistakes. Great for beginners because there are fewer units to manage, but each one has a distinct role.

Where it’s used in the game
Combat Patrol is a fast Warhammer 40,000 format: each player uses a pre-set “patrol” force for their faction. You don’t have to build a list from scratch – just build the models, pick a mission, and you’re ready to play. This box is also a great stepping stone to bigger games (1000/2000 points).
Why you’ll want it
- Fast entry into Drukhari: few units to manage, but a lot of impact on the table.
- 2× big models (Talos/Cronos) makes the box an immediate threat – ideal for pressure and area control.
- Great for hobby too: Wracks paint quickly (skin + wash) and the pain engines are perfect for effects, metals, and organic textures.
Factions and a story on the table
- Drukhari: sadistic raiders from Commorragh – fast, ruthless strikes, abductions, and “surgical” destruction.
- Imperium (Space Marines / Astra Militarum): hold the line and objectives, relying on discipline, firepower, and resilience.
- What it typically looks like in practice: Drukhari want to tear apart key points and kick the enemy off objectives; these models do it by applying monster pressure backed by a solid objective-holding core.
Box contents
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Haemonculus | A leader and support character – an iconic coven figure with a disgusting aesthetic and lots of painting detail. |
| Wracks (10 models) | The box’s core for objectives and board control – ideal for beginners (quick to build, quick to paint, and they hold their ground on the table). |
| Cronos (alternatively Talos) | A large “pain engine” – build it depending on whether you want more support/utility or a more aggressive approach (based on loadout and role). |
| Talos (alternatively Cronos) | The second large “pain engine” – the main threat on the table that forces your opponent to react and change their plan. |
| Bases | Includes large flying base options for the pain engines and 25mm bases for the infantry. |
| Plastic components | Models are supplied unassembled and unpainted – you’ll need plastic glue and paints (see recommendations below). |
Recommended paints for Drukhari Coven
A basic palette for quick “battle ready” results, with room to expand into more detail.
Primer (recommended)
Citadel Chaos Black Spray
Use: A quick dark base – ideal for metals, weapons, and the darker parts of the models.
Main model colors
Rakarth Flesh
Use: Wracks skin and other “flesh” areas – covers fast and delivers a grimdark look.
Abaddon Black
Use: Base for armor, straps, weapons, and high-contrast parts – ties the whole model together.
Kabalite Green
Use: Tubes, toxins, energy details, and glow elements – adds that signature Drukhari vibe.
Detail accents
Leadbelcher
Use: Metals for tools, weapons, and mechanical parts of the pain engines.
Screamer Pink
Use: Flesh, scars, organic growths, and nasty details on coven models.
Shading (Shade / Wash)
Druchii Violet
Use: Wash for skin and flesh (Rakarth Flesh) – instantly adds depth and a horror vibe.
Highlights (optional)
Pallid Wych Flesh
Use: Quick edge highlights for skin and raised areas – just a few strokes and the model pops.
Assembly and tools
Citadel Plastic Glue
Use: Gluing plastic miniatures – strong bonds and clean results.
Citadel Starter Brush
Use: A basic brush for basecoats and quick “battle ready” painting.
Citadel Shade Brush
Use: Ideal for washes (e.g. Druchii Violet) – faster and cleaner shading.
How to play it (quick tactics)
| Key element | How it works |
|---|---|
| Wracks on objectives | Place them to score points and hold space; don’t play them to “kill”, play them to “control”. |
| Talos as the hammer | Apply forward pressure – your opponent must react, or you’ll smash the middle of the table. |
| Cronos as support | Depending on the build it can be more utility-focused: stay near key units and help maintain your game tempo. |
| Haemonculus as the army’s “glue” | Keep it safe, but positioned to influence the game – support the core where the fight for objectives is decided. |
FAQ for complete beginners
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Is it ready to play straight out of the box? | The models are unassembled and unpainted. After building them, you can play Combat Patrol games without list-building (the force is pre-set). |
| What do I need at the bare minimum? | Plastic glue, clippers/knife, a few basic paints, dice, and a tape measure. Combat Patrol rules and missions can be found in Warhammer 40,000 materials. |
| Is this suitable as a first army? | Yes – each unit has a clear role and there are only a few “active” parts to manage. Great for learning movement, cover, and objective play. |
| How long does it take to build and do a basic paint job? | Wracks are quick (skin + wash + highlight). Talos/Cronos is a bigger project, but large surfaces make it very paint-friendly. |
How to continue after your first games
| What’s next? | Why |
|---|---|
| Add more infantry / fast units | You’ll gain more board presence, better objective control, and more flexibility across missions. |
| Add more synergistic Drukhari units | You’ll move from Combat Patrol into 1000+ points and start building your own style (Coven/Kabal/Cult mix). |
Recommended follow-ups
| Path | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| More models for objectives | Add another unit that can “do the work” on points while your monsters pressure the enemy. |
| More melee pressure | Increase the number of threats so your opponent can’t find the “right” answer to everything at once. |
| Hobby upgrade | Pigments/effects for blood, rust, and organic textures can turn a coven army into true display pieces. |
