The Warhammer 40,000 app is your invaluable digital gaming companion and today it expands to include full support for Combat Patrol.
Combat Patrol is the perfect way to dip your toe into a new faction. Thanks to the pre-set armies and low model counts, it's also an amazing way for newcomers to try Warhammer 40,000 for the first time.
It’s ideal for fast-paced, pick-up-and-play games of Warhammer 40,000, making it great for new and experienced players alike. Games are fast and compact, model counts are low, and the action is up close and bloody right from the off!
Today’s updates to the Warhammer 40,000 app give you all the rules you need in an easily digestible way. Combat Patrol games can now be played in War Journal, effectively unlocking bespoke missions for each army, and letting you track your score in the app as you play.
The Combat Patrol rules in your app are free. All of them. You don’t need a rulebook, a Codex, or a subscription to unlock any Combat Patrol content. All your rules are on your phone or tablet.
Upcoming Combat Patrol Support
Each Combat Patrol represents the archetypal core of a Warhammer 40,000 faction. These are supported in the app with Datasheets, Army Rules, Enhancements, and now, a bespoke mission to accomplish. The plan is that those armies that have a Combat Patrol will have a single current army, and that this will be the box that you can find in stores.
There have of course been many more Combat Patrol sets released over the years. There is support on the way for these too, though for this launch, the app will initially focus on supporting the core Combat Patrol offer.
You can also look forward to brand-new Combat Patrols arriving alongside Codexes and releases across the course of the edition, and these will likewise be supported in the app.
Get Started with Combat Patrol
Those of you who picked up a copy of Armageddon – good news, you already have two Combat Patrols, in the form of the Ork ‘Ardmob and the Space Marines Assault Force. These can also be picked up in the Getting Started with Orks and Getting Started with Space Marines sets, or you can get them both in the Warhammer 40,000 Starter Set, which also comes with a Combat Patrol battlefield’s worth of new terrain to play on – everything you need to play.
However you choose to get started with Combat Patrol, don’t forget that there’s an extensive series of free tutorial content to help you over on the Warhammer Academy site.
