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.

How many points is a Combat Patrol?

There is no single answer: a Warhammer 40,000 Combat Patrol box is worth 255 to 740 points in normal matched play, depending on the faction — most fall between 375 and 500. The smallest force is Death Korps of Krieg at 255 points; the largest is Adeptus Custodes at 740. Values below are summed per box from the Munitorum Field Manual v1.2 (2026-08-05), 11th edition.

Note the common confusion: the Combat Patrol game mode uses each box's own free rules and no points at all. The figures here are what the box's contents cost in a normal game of Warhammer 40,000.

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.
