Combat Patrol T'au Empire Magnetization Recommendations

Whatโ€™s in the Tโ€™au Empire Combat Patrol

The Tโ€™au Empire Combat Patrol is the 10th-edition Warhammer 40,000 starter army for the Greater Good. Twenty-five miniatures, a transport vehicle, and a pre-built Combat Patrol roster โ€” one of the most variant-rich starter boxes in the game.

  • 1x Commander in Enforcer Battlesuit or Coldstar Battlesuit - 60mm round base with flight stem
  • 1x Devilfish โ€” vehicle, magnetic flight stand
  • 10x Breacher Fire Warriors or Strike Team โ€” 25mm round bases
  • 10x Pathfinders โ€” 25mm round bases
  • 7x Drones (5 Tactical Drones, 1 Recon Drone, 1 Support Turret) โ€” flight stems

Commander in Enforcer / Coldstar Battlesuit

The Commander kit is a dual-build โ€” Enforcer (heavy melee-capable suit) or Coldstar (high-speed jump suit). Each has multiple hardpoint weapons. The XV85/XV86 chassis has three weapon hardpoints (two arms + shoulder) plus support systems. Magnetize the wrists with 3mm x 2mm disc magnets for the main weapons, and add 3mm x 2mm at the support-system mount.

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

Devilfish

The Devilfish is a transport with a turret and two drone hardpoints. The turret swaps between burst cannon and missile pod โ€” magnetize with 5mm x 2mm disc magnets so you can change the loadout per list.

50pcs 5mm x 2mm (Approximately 3/16" x 1/16") Disc Magnets

Price $15.99

Breacher Fire Warriors / Strike Team

The Fire Warrior kit is a dual-build โ€” Breacher (close-range pulse blaster) or Strike Team (longer-range pulse rifle / pulse carbine). Both share the same chassis and the same shoulder mount. Magnetize the shoulder with 3mm x 2mm disc magnets and the squad can run as either unit type per game.

Price $15.99

Pathfinders

The Pathfinder kit builds 10 models with pulse carbines. Special weapon options include the rail rifle, ion rifle, and pulse accelerator. Magnetize the special-weapon Pathfinder shoulders with 3mm x 2mm disc magnets to swap between profiles.

Drones & Support Turret

The seven drone models are fixed poses. The Support Turret is a small fixed object. The Drones use plastic flight stems โ€” replace with magnetic flight stands as the thin plastic ones provided with the plastic kits are known to break easily.

Tโ€™au Flight Stands

We offer sturdier, acrylic rod that come in a variety of sizes. The Drones use the Extra Small flat stand. The Commander Battlesuit uses a Medium flat stand. The Devilfish (when hovering) uses a Large flat stand.
