How Many Points Is a Combat Patrol?

There is no single answer — the boxes run from about 255 to 740 points, most between 375 and 500. Every value below is summed from the Munitorum Field Manual, with the version stated, because an undated points table is a wrong one waiting to happen.

Points current as of Munitorum Field Manual v1.2 (2026-08-05), 11th edition matched play. The Combat Patrol game mode uses the box's own free rules and no points at all — these are what the contents cost in a normal game.

Combat Patrol: Deathwatch315As two plain squads; more if the marines are built as a Fortis Kill Team (composition lives in the Deathwatch faction pack, so no second number is quoted). The 2020/21 box — not a 2025 release.

Why the numbers move

The Munitorum Field Manual is a live document now — Games Workshop revises it alongside the quarterly Balance Dataslate, and 11th edition launched a fresh baseline in June 2026. That is why every figure on this page carries its MFM version: when a new one lands, the values above are re-checked against it. Dual-build kits mean some boxes are a range rather than a number; the notes give the spread.
