Warhammer 40,000 Combat Patrol: Necrons — Starter Box | Games Workshop

Reclaim the galaxy with a purpose-built force in Warhammer 40,000 Combat Patrol: Necrons. This boxed set bundles a balanced mix of key units designed to launch a Necron army or enlarge an existing collection, delivering a ready-to-play core for Combat Patrol games.

Inside you’ll find a collection of undead mechanical elites and troops: an Overlord armed with a tachyon arrow, a Canoptek Doomstalker, three Skorpekh Destroyers with a Plasmacyte, ten Necron Warriors, and three Canoptek Scarab Swarms. All models come with their bases. The miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly, giving you the chance to customize poses and color schemes to match your battlefield narrative. Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints are recommended for best results.

What this set offers

• Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - COMBAT PATROL: Necrons (2023)
• A selection of undying Necrons, ideal for starting or expanding an army
• A complete Combat Patrol force of 19 multipart plastic miniatures in one box
• These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

The assembled force provides a balanced core that can be scaled for different playstyles. The Overlord offers a commanding presence, while the Doomstalker and Skorpekh Destroyers bring mobility and firepower. The Necron Warriors form the backbone, and the Scarab Swarms add nuisance value and quick objective control on the tabletop. The multipart plastic design supports varied poses and configurations, helping you craft a distinct squad look as you build your collection.

For new players, this Combat Patrol box is a practical entry point to Warhammer 40,000. It combines a sizable infantry block with elite and skirmish units, enabling you to learn movement, shooting, and charging dynamics with a cohesive force. For seasoned hobbyists, it’s a ready-to-paint foundation you can customize while expanding a larger Necron army later on.

Getting started and painting tips

• Prepare your models with clean sprues, trim flash, and use plastic glue for sturdy joints.
• Prime surfaces evenly, then apply base colors before adding metallics and glowing energy effects typical of Necron units.
