Combat Patrol Dark Angels Magnetization Recommendations

What’s in the Dark Angels Combat Patrol

The Dark Angels Combat Patrol is the 10th-edition Warhammer 40,000 starter army for the First Legion. Nineteen miniatures and a pre-built Combat Patrol roster.

• 1x Primaris Lieutenant — 40mm round base
• 3x Inner Circle Companions — 40mm round bases
• 5x Deathwing Knights — 40mm round bases
• 10x Intercessors — 32mm round bases

Primaris Lieutenant

The Lieutenant kit builds with bolt rifle, master-crafted power weapon, plasma pistol, or alternate close-combat options. Magnetize wrists with 2mm x 1mm disc magnets to swap loadouts between games.

Inner Circle Companions

The Inner Circle Companions kit builds three Deathwing-armoured veteran knights with calibanite greatswords, halberd of Caliban, and the Companion Knight Master’s additional options. Magnetize wrists with 3mm x 2mm disc magnets for the squad leader.

Deathwing Knights

The Deathwing Knight kit builds five Terminator-armoured knights with mace of absolution and storm shield. The Knight Master has a Flail of the Unforgiven option. The squad shares the Knight Champion banner. Magnetize the Knight Master’s wrist with 3mm x 2mm disc magnets if you want to swap between the standard mace and the Flail of the Unforgiven.

3mm magnets fit a 3mm drill bit hole. The Large Pin Vise covers 0.5mm to 8mm bits.

Intercessors

The Intercessor squad runs 10 models with bolt rifle / auto bolt rifle / stalker bolt rifle options. See the dedicated Intercessor Squad Magnetization Recommendations. Magnetize the Sergeant’s wrists with 3mm x 2mm disc magnets.

Drill Bits, Glues & Polarity Tools

The Deathwing Knight squad leader and Inner Circle Companion wrists are the magnetization centerpiece.

Drill bits. Medium metric bundle covers 4mm through 6mm magnets — useful as the army grows into the Ravenwing Talonmaster, Land Speeders, and Knight Captain Lazarus.

Glue. Maxi-Cure thick CA glue plus Insta-Set spray.

Polarity tool. Magnicator V2 keeps every wrist socket aligned across the Knights and Companions.
