Combat Patrol Aeldari Magnetization Recommendations

What’s in the Aeldari Combat Patrol

The Aeldari Combat Patrol is the 10th-edition Warhammer 40,000 starter army for the Craftworld Aeldari. Twenty-one miniatures and a pre-built Combat Patrol roster.

• 1x Spiritseer - 25mm round base
• 5x Wraithguard or Wraithblades — 40mm round bases
• 10x Dire Avengers — 28.5mm round bases
• 5x Warp Spiders - 28.5mm round bases

Spiritseer

The Spiritseer is a fixed pose with a witch staff and shuriken pistol. No weapon swaps. Base magnetization only.

Wraithguard / Wraithblades

The Wraithguard kit is a dual-build — assemble as Wraithguard (shooting variant with wraithcannon or D-scythe) or Wraithblades (melee variant with ghostswords or ghostaxe + forceshield). This is one of the highest-leverage magnetization opportunities in the box. Magnetize the wrist with 3mm x 2mm disc magnets and you double the kit’s utility — same five models, two different units, three different weapon loadouts.

Dire Avengers

The Dire Avenger kit builds 10 models with shuriken catapults. The Exarch has options for power weapon + shuriken pistol, two shuriken catapults, diresword + shuriken pistol, or shimmershield + power weapon. Magnetize the Exarch’s wrists with 2mm x 1mm disc magnets for full loadout flexibility.

Warp Spiders

The Warp Spider kit builds five models with death spinners and the Exarch with twin death spinners or powerblades. Magnetize the wrists with 2mm x 1mm disc magnets for Exarch loadout swaps.

Base Magnets

The Combat Patrol spans 25mm, 28.5mm, and 40mm bases.

25mm - Spiritseer

28.5mm - Dire Avengers, Warp Spiders

40mm - Wraithguard

Movement Trays

The Dire Avenger squad, Wraithguard, and Warp Spider unit each run as units on the tabletop.

10-Man Cloud Formation (28mm) — Dire Avengers

5-Man Cloud Formation (40mm) - Wraithguard

Character & Wargear Tab Trays

The Spiritseer attaches to the Wraithguard squad in most Combat Patrol lists. The Character & Wargear Tab Tray lets the Spiritseer slide on and off the parent tray.

Drill Bits, Glues & Polarity Tools

The Wraithguard dual-build is the magnetization centerpiece — ten wrist sockets across five models, swappable to whichever unit profile the list calls for.

Drill bits. Medium metric bundle covers 4mm through 6mm magnets — useful as the army grows into Wave Serpents, Fire Prisms, and Wraithlords.

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

Polarity tool. Magnicator V2 keeps every wrist socket aligned across all five Wraithguard.

Magnetize the rest of your Aeldari

Models a Combat Patrol buyer magnetizes next: Wave Serpent & Falcon, Wraithknight, Fire Prism & Night Spinner.
