Combat Patrol Chaos Space Marines Magnetization Recommendations

What’s in the Chaos Space Marines Combat Patrol

The Chaos Space Marines Combat Patrol is the 10th-edition Warhammer 40,000 starter army for the Heretic Astartes. Twenty-six miniatures and a pre-built Combat Patrol roster.

• 1x Master of Possession — 40mm round base
• 5x Possessed — 40mm round bases
• 10x Chaos Space Marines — 32mm round bases
• 10x Chaos Cultists — 25mm round bases

Master of Possession

The Master of Possession is a single-pose psyker with a fixed staff. No weapon swaps. Base magnetization only.

Possessed

Possessed are five push-fit single-pose models with fixed daemonic talons. No useful weapon-swap magnetization — base magnetization only.

Chaos Space Marines

The Chaos Space Marine kit is one of the most magnetization-rich in the range. Ten Marines, with options for the Champion (power weapon, plasma pistol), an Icon Bearer, special-weapon Marines (plasma gun, melta gun, flamer, autocannon), and heavy weapons (heavy bolter, missile launcher, lascannon, reaper chaincannon). Magnetize wrists with 3mm x 2mm disc magnets for the Champion and special-weapon Marines so the squad can run any list-legal loadout.

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

Chaos Cultists

The Cultist kit builds 10 models with autoguns and pistols. The squad leader (Cultist Champion) has options for a chainsword, power weapon, or autopistol. Magnetize the Champion’s wrist with 2mm x 1mm disc magnets if you want to swap.

Base Magnets

The Combat Patrol spans 25mm, 32mm, and 40mm bases.

25mm — Chaos Cultists

32mm — Chaos Space Marines

40mm — Master of Possession, Possessed

Movement Trays

The Chaos Space Marine squad, Possessed squad, and Cultist squad each run as units.

10-Man Straight Formation (32mm) — Chaos Space Marines

10-Man Cloud Formation (32mm) — Chaos Space Marines

10-Man Straight Formation (25mm) — Chaos Cultists

5-Man Cloud Formation (40mm) — Possessed

Character & Wargear Tab Trays

The Master of Possession attaches to the Chaos Space Marine or Possessed squad in most Combat Patrol lists.

Drill Bits, Glues & Polarity Tools

The Chaos Space Marine special-weapon and heavy-weapon shoulders are the magnetization centerpiece. With 10 Marines and seven possible weapon profiles, the magnet pack pays for itself the first time the meta shifts.

Drill bits. Medium metric bundle covers 4mm through 6mm magnets — useful as the army grows into the Helbrute, Forgefiend, Defiler, and Vindicator.

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

Polarity tool. Magnicator V2 keeps every CSM wrist socket aligned.
