Combat Patrol Thousand Sons Magnetization Recommendations

What’s in the Thousand Sons Combat Patrol

The Thousand Sons Combat Patrol is the 10th-edition Warhammer 40,000 starter army for Magnus the Red’s sorcerous legion. Twenty-six miniatures and a pre-built Combat Patrol roster.

  • 1x Infernal Master — 32mm round base
  • 5x Scarab Occult Terminators — 40mm round bases
  • 20x Tzaangors — 32mm round bases

Infernal Master

The Infernal Master is a fixed-pose sorcerer with a force weapon and inferno bolt pistol. No weapon swaps. Base magnetization only.

Scarab Occult Terminators

The Scarab Occult Terminator kit builds five Terminators with inferno combi-bolters and force stave melee. Heavy weapon options include the soulreaper cannon and hellfyre missile rack. The Scarab Occult Sorcerer (squad leader) has the heqa staff and inferno combi-bolter. Magnetize wrists with 3mm x 2mm disc magnets for the heavy-weapon Terminator so the squad can swap between soulreaper and hellfyre profiles.

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

Tzaangors

The Tzaangor kit builds 20 models with mixed melee and ranged options — Tzaangor chainswords, Tzaangor blades, autopistols, plus the squad leader (Twistbray) with options. Magnetize the Twistbray’s wrist with 2mm x 1mm disc magnets if you want to swap the close-combat weapon between games.
