Product detailed description
| Battlefield role | Unique features | Difficulty | Player tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| A fast, hard-hitting objective patrol – elite fighters dive into key clashes, while core units fill space, finish targets, and hold points through tempo and pressure. | Slaanesh/Emperor’s Children style: speed, “duels,” and brutal short-range efficiency; an iconic luxurious look (purple/pink + gold) and plenty of options for customizing weapons and unit aesthetics. | Medium – easy to start (push forward and pick targets), but rewards good charge timing, smart use of cover, and choosing the right fights (you want to win “here and now”). | Play for tempo: send elite units into trades you must win, and use the rest of the army to score and lock down space. Don’t rush into bad shootouts – jump onto the right target and finish it. |
Warhammer 40k: Combat Patrol: Emperor's Children
Want a Chaos army that’s fast, stylish, and cuts your opponent down exactly when it hurts most? Combat Patrol: Emperor’s Children is the perfect way to start the Legion of Slaanesh: you get a charismatic leader for duels, elite fighters for decisive clashes, and a core of units that can fill space, apply pressure, and score. Build, paint, and play right away – and once Emperor’s Children hook you, every model in the box stays useful as you grow into a larger Warhammer 40,000 army.
What’s inside and why it works
Inside you’ll find a complete Combat Patrol Emperor’s Children (17 miniatures) ready for fast games. The Lord Exultant is your “tip of the spear” – he challenges enemies, leads the assault, and decides key fights. The Flawless Blades are elite warriors who deliver fast, heavy hits in close quarters. Infractors (can alternatively be built as Tormentors) form your flexible core: they fill space, hold an objective, and finish weakened targets. The miniatures are unassembled and unpainted, so you can build and paint them exactly in the style of your warband.

Where you’ll use this box
Combat Patrol is the ideal “quick start” for Warhammer 40,000: you play with fewer models, learn movement, cover, shooting, and objective play without the stress of a huge army. Emperor’s Children teach you to play for tempo – you win by picking the right target, striking at the right time, and turning the trade in your favor. When you’re ready to move to bigger games, this set remains a solid foundation and is easy to expand with more iconic units.
Why players see it as a great Emperor’s Children start
- A complete, balanced force for the table – play right away, without “what am I missing?”
- A great mix of roles: a duel-focused leader, elite удар units, and a flexible core for space control and scoring.
- A fantastic hobby experience – luxurious Slaanesh aesthetics, bold colors, and lots of detail that looks great even with a simple “battle ready” paintjob.
Playstyle and opponents
- Emperor’s Children: speed, pressure, and decisive fights – you want to choose where the battle happens and win trades at the right moment.
- Against anyone: in Combat Patrol you can play against any other patrol – Chaos, Xenos, or Imperium. Your edge is tempo and the ability to close out key points fast.
- What it looks like on the table: you fill space with your core, set up the charge, then your elite + leader finish the key target that powers your opponent’s scoring.

Recommended paints and painting
A core palette for quick “battle ready” results, with room to expand into more detail.
Primer (recommended)
Citadel Colour Spray: Chaos Black
Use: A great all-purpose base for rich purple/pink armor and crisp shadows in the details – and it’s forgiving for beginners.
Main model colors
Fulgrim Pink
Use: Primary armor color and the iconic Emperor’s Children look – quickly ties the whole force together.
Balthasar Gold
Use: Gold/brass trims, icons, and reliefs – a luxurious contrast to pink that makes EC instantly recognizable.
Leadbelcher
Use: Weapons, mechanical parts, chains, and metal details – a wash gives it instant depth.
Detail accents
Abaddon Black
Use: Undersuits, cables, holsters, weapons (plastic), dark panels – boosts readability and contrast.
Screamer Pink
Use: Shading into pink, cloth, ornaments, and bold Slaanesh accents – adds depth and drama.
Shading (Shade / Wash)
Druchii Violet
Use: Fast recess shading and deeper purple tone – great for armor and ornamentation alike.
Highlights (optional)
Emperor's Children
Use: Quick edge highlights on armor and raised details – models look “finished” without advanced techniques.
Effects and basing (optional)
Blood for the Blood God
Use: A quick “wow” effect on blades after a fight – a few strokes make the models feel more brutal.
Assembly and tools
Citadel Plastic Glue
Use: The easiest way to assemble plastic miniatures – strong bond and clean work.
Citadel Small Layer Brush
Use: An all-purpose brush for details, edges, and quick highlights – more than enough for Combat Patrol.
Citadel Shade Brush
Use: Ideal for washes (Druchii Violet) – fewer tide marks and better control in recesses.
How to win with it (simple and effective)
| Key element | How it works |
|---|---|
| Play for tempo and trades | Make your opponent react. Set up the charge and pick a fight you must win – Emperor’s Children shine when they decide the key moment. |
| Elite units for the key objective | Use your elite to clear an objective or break the enemy’s anchor. Take the center at the right time and you cripple their scoring. |
| Core units for points and space | Your core holds space, closes angles, and scores. Don’t underestimate “boring” scoring – it wins games. |
| Leader as the finisher | Keep your leader positioned to end a key target. Don’t throw him into unnecessary fire – his value is in the decisive duel. |
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 when you expand your army. |
| Is it suitable for a complete beginner? | Yes. Combat Patrol is designed for starting out – fewer models, faster games, and a clear plan for what to do on the table. |
| Are the miniatures painted and assembled? | No – they come unassembled and unpainted. That’s part of the hobby: you build them your way and choose your warband’s colors. |
| How long does it take? | For assembly, expect a few evenings depending on your pace. For “battle ready,” a primer, a few base colors, and a wash are enough – Emperor’s Children look great even with a clean, simple style. |
What to do after your first games
| What’s next? | Why |
|---|---|
| Finish a “battle ready” paintjob | A primer, base colors, and a wash are 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 prefer aggressive pressure, smart charges, or mission control – and Emperor’s Children expand perfectly to match. |
Expanding the army (simple tips)
| Direction | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| More short-range pressure | Add more elite удар units or pieces that finish fights – you’ll improve your ability to take objectives “by force.” |
| More control and scoring | Add units for board space and secondary objectives – you’ll score more reliably even into tougher opponents. |
| More Slaanesh style | Expand the palette with gloss, pearlescent effects, and finishes (glazes, varnishes) – Emperor’s Children can look brutally luxurious without overly complex techniques. |
