Combat Patrol Orks Magnetization Recommendations

What’s in the Orks Combat Patrol

The Orks Combat Patrol is the 10th-edition Warhammer 40,000 starter army for the Beast Snagga clan. Twenty-five miniatures and a pre-built Combat Patrol roster — a fast, brutal melee army out of the box.

  • 1x Beastboss — 50mm round base
  • 3x Squighog Boyz — 75×42mm oval bases
  • 1x Nob on Smasha Squig — 90×52.5mm oval base
  • 1x Bomb Squig — 40mm round base
  • 20x Beast Snagga Boyz — 32mm round bases

Beastboss

The Beastboss kit builds as a Beastboss or a Beastboss on Squigosaur. The Combat Patrol version is the foot variant with a beast-killa nailer and choppa. The kit’s alternate head and trophy parts swap easily without magnetizing, but if you want to swap between Beastboss and Warboss for larger games later, 3mm x 2mm disc magnets at the shoulder pauldron let you change loadouts.

Squighog Boyz & Bomb Squig

The Squighog Boyz kit builds three Squighog Boyz and either a Nob on Smasha Squig or a Boomdakka Snazzwagon-adjacent loadout. The Combat Patrol pack is the standard four-Squighog formation plus a Bomb Squig. No weapon-swap magnetization required — base magnetization only.

Beast Snagga Boyz

The 20 Beast Snagga Boyz form two squads of 10. The kit includes a Nob with a power snappa, and the squad can take a thump gun. With 20 Boyz to assemble, magnetizing the Nob arm at the shoulder lets you swap between power snappa and a converted thump gun arm. Use 3mm x 2mm disc magnets at the shoulder.

3mm magnets fit a 3mm drill bit hole. The Large Pin Vise covers 0.5mm to 8mm bits — carries from Boyz shoulders up to Gorkanaut joints later.

Base Magnets

The Combat Patrol spans 32mm, 40mm, 50mm, 75×42 oval, and 90×52.5 oval bases. Pick whichever format matches how you build the army.

Movement Trays

Character & Wargear Tab Trays

The Beastboss attaches to a Beast Snagga Boyz squad in most Combat Patrol lists. The Bomb Squig attaches to the Squighog Boyz. Character & Wargear Tab Trays slide on and off the parent movement tray so characters and wargear models move between units cleanly.

Drill Bits, Glues & Polarity Tools

Magnetizing the Beastboss and the two Nob arms is the bulk of the work. The right toolkit makes it a single sitting.

Drill bits. The medium metric bundle covers 4mm through 6mm magnets — useful as the Waaagh! grows into Deff Dreads and Stompas.

[Buy Product=drill-bit-medium-4mm-6mm,Variant=All]

Glue. Maxi-Cure is the thick CA superglue we use to seat magnets in plastic. Insta-Set flash-cures the bond.

[Buy Product=maxicure-superglue,Variant=All]

[Buy Product=instaset-instant-cure-superglue-spray,Variant=All]

Polarity tool. The Magnicator V2 holds magnets in known polarity so every Boyz shoulder lines up the same way.
