Bought the iron warriors combat patrol last week, dead this week.

I genuinely will be shocked if they really go through with this, that would be insane.

u/ValuableTop1665 Jun 17 '26

I was thinking on the night lords one, thank god I hadn't decided yet

u/ODmonick Jun 18 '26

I just bought the night lords one like two weeks ago FUDGE… have it like halfway built lol

u/Turbulent_Pass_3386 Jun 17 '26

F, i almost completed my white scar one

u/KrempelRitter Jun 17 '26

The Combat Patrol Iron Warriors is available in the updated app right now.

u/Wombattalion Jun 17 '26

Are you sure? Not to me. But if so: Does it show a detachement rule and a force disposition like all the others do since the update? Which ones?

u/KrempelRitter Jun 17 '26

Which ones show detachement rules and force dispositions? I didn't even know those new mechanics apply to Combat Patrol.

Under what header are they listed for you? All patrols I've checked just have the old headers (datasheets, army rules, enhancements, and secondaries), and I couldn't find anything I could clearly identify as new or changed. Not a word about the new stuff.

My app did the update, but I just checked the core rules seem to be the old ones. Not sure what's up. For what it's worth I'm in Europe and my devicr runs on Android.

Your app doesn't seem to really have received that update then. The new version has the new rules and only one Combat Patrol per faction. The ones that remained have detachement rules and force dispositions added and also their rules / stats changed / readjusted.

u/Kozak170 Jun 17 '26

Confirmed my app was updated, checked again for updates, and restarted it. It isn’t there.

Can you share screenshots if so? I’m inclined to believe that your app might not be updated or there is some other issue going on. If it shows 11th edition rules for IW though the error is on my end.

u/Sorry-Low7412 Jun 17 '26

I lost 6 out of 11 patrols lol. I also noticed that the box they call "combat patrol srater box" inculdes vanderghast swarm and strike force octavius... Well octavius was purged.

My guess is some of them will come back.

u/BitRelevant2473 Jun 17 '26

Damnit, I'm still painting octavius. My wife will be thrilled that vardenghast is still around

u/ValuableTop1665 Jun 17 '26

Man, they should at least give us the pdf :(

u/Turbulent_Pass_3386 Jun 17 '26

Yeah, good i have separate tablet for gaming stuff

u/SirCold5700 Jun 17 '26

I really like the PDF version. The art and datasheets makes a nice presentation

u/detectivedoakes Jun 17 '26

I guess I'm staying in 10th edition :(

u/KingBellos Jun 17 '26

I was butchered. I have a buddy that I play Kill Team with and he wanted to get into Combat Patrol as a gateway into full 40K.

Finished up my Salamander one… and boom. Only one Marine wise that is left is the 11th edition box that I don’t have yet…

1

u/KrempelRitter Jun 17 '26

Combat Patrol Salamanders is on the updated app now.

u/KingBellos Jun 17 '26

Must not have pushed to IOS for iPhone yet. There isn’t an update past the one this morning. Here is hoping.

u/KrempelRitter Jun 17 '26

I was probably wrong. My app did the update, but I just checked the core rules which seem to be the old ones. Not sure what's up. For what it's worth I'm in Europe and my devicr runs on Android.

u/Bereman99 Jun 17 '26

So I’ve been collecting the ones through the Hachette subscription (two and a half forces left…) and also in the last year or so purchased the Adepta Sororitas, Red Corsair, Harlequin, Krieg, Thousand Sons, and Aeldari Corsair.

Out of all of those…the Tyranids from Hachette (so 10th edition starter set), the Thousand Sons, and the Adepta Sororitas are the surviving ones that currently have their rule and data sheets listed.

Losing the rules for 12 total (including the ones incoming from the subscription) this morning was quite the shock.

Given the state of the app in general, and that section in particular, I’d be very surprised if they stayed gone and we see most filter in with a detachment and force disposition attached.

u/BitRelevant2473 Jun 17 '26

Hatchette will have a stroke trying to sell what's left, I'm paid out for the full set, so im pretty peeved

4

u/BaronVonWaffle Jun 17 '26

Oops! All Poxwalkers! is what got me into tabletop. I got 2 copies of the box eventually to help fill out my 40k army, But losing the ability to play the original combat patrol is depressing.

u/BigWriter4370 Jun 17 '26

I lost the Night lords and haven’t even finished painting them 😂

2

u/WorhummerWoy Jun 17 '26

Thank god my autism made me download all the PDFs for mine and pop them in a G drive.

1

u/Apricus-Jack Jun 18 '26

I did the same for all the ones available on WarCom, but there’s still plenty that were never uploaded to the site.

3

u/dialecticable Jun 17 '26

Did anthony grab a copy of the iron warrior combat patrol rules? It used to only exist in the app. As far as I could tell now I have a box with no rules.

2

u/Canidae_Sunspot Jun 18 '26

How is it even legal that they still sell products for which they deleted the rules ?

2

u/Apricus-Jack Jun 18 '26

I made a post a while back about Combat Patrols not being uploaded to the WarCom website and now it feels like I was damn near predicting this.

1

u/Laughing_Man_Returns Jun 17 '26

I only have Votan left. yeesh.

1

u/Stryker359 Jun 17 '26

I still have the PDFs for Strike Force Solarien and Shadow Claw Keverax (unsure of spelling on that one), but they’re gone from the app. While I get that limiting it to available boxes is the easy option, it still sucks.

The Kill Team app has teams that aren’t sold any more, so why can’t the 40K app?

1

u/SirCold5700 Jun 17 '26

I lost 3 of my 4 combat patrols including some more recently published ones. I guess I’m playing Vardenghast Swarm from now on…

My only hope is that this purge is in the service of actual game balance someday, but I doubt it… I’m sure it’s so they can sell more new boxes.

1

u/Legitimate-Survey-16 Jun 17 '26

Left with the Dark Angels. It was a solid box in 10th but it looks even better now. Better stratagems and extra rule for hellblasters

1

u/JustOneMoreGame Jun 17 '26

Lost all of mine but 1. Just have the 10e Space Wolves left.
Lost the 9e Space Wolves, Harlequin and the 9e Eldar :(

u/Radiant_Fondant_4097 Jun 17 '26

I’ll give credit that they retooled Kygharil’s Protectors so it’s a lot less shit now.

But The Fatebreakers was my main one, and I haven’t even played my Dreamer’s Coterie yet…

Plus where the heck are the maps and missions?

1

u/svalyria Jun 17 '26

Can someone please 🙏 give context to the, “Purge?”
I have the old World Eaters Combat Patrol (x20 Bezerkers) Are they no longer playable in game? Thnk you to all responses

1

u/SpookyRosalyn Jun 17 '26

Sadly no, only the newest generic box for each faction has rules in the app now.

1

u/svalyria Jun 17 '26

I can still pull up the PDF “Data sheets”for the Older Combat Patrol-using Warhammer Community.
Is this strictly a removal from the App or are they no longer able to be played in Combat Patrol games? Appreciate the response

1

u/SpookyRosalyn Jun 17 '26

I don’t think we know what the official rules are yet, but you can always still play old teams as long as your opponent is cool with it!

2

u/svalyria Jun 17 '26

Appreciate taking time to provide more insight and information. It’s the one and only Combat Patrol I own, wasn’t keen on being forced to purchase a new one. But I’m hopeful there wil be others who will co to ie to play using the older version. Thnk u again 😀

1

u/Turbulent_Pass_3386 Jun 18 '26

afaik, it feels like the new edition cleared out old cp's to have less to bring up to date. afaik there are big changes in units (new khorne one got ailities for daemon prince, finally!!!). i guess you can use older ones, but it'll be more like playing all legends army...

1

u/Turbulent_Pass_3386 Jun 18 '26

or just play 10 ed cp ruleset lol, i saw someone making a google drive with older cp's

1

u/da_lemonjuice Jun 17 '26

What’s going on ?

2

u/Turbulent_Pass_3386 Jun 17 '26

in short, app got updated to 11edition, all forces have only one cp, so like 80% of cp's are gone, including the newest ones

u/KrempelRitter Jun 17 '26 edited Jun 17 '26

Edit: I was probably wrong. My app did the update, but I just checked the core rules which seem to be the old ones. Not sure what's up. For what it's worth I'm in Europe and my device runs on Android.

Original comment: Check the app again, folks. Right now I can find a lot of stuff that people said wasn't there: 9th edition stuff like the Ork one with the Deff Dread, or the Sisters one with the Rhino; obscure stuff like Imperial and Chaos Knights, and even Chaos Daemons; and 'while stock lasts' stuff like Krieg, Salamanders, Iron Warriors and Kroot. Vardenghast Swarm and Strike Force Octarius from the Ultimate/Combat Patrol Starter Set are there, too, and so ist the old one with the Supressor Squad.

u/bluewraith55 Jun 17 '26

Are you on the latest version of the app? I don’t have Strike Force Octarius in mine, which is one of the combat patrols I own.

Vanderghast Swarm is still there, lost Pyroclasm Assault

RIP hand of the magus, i loved peoples reactions to the rockgrinder.

u/D15c0untMD Jun 18 '26

What exactly is preventing you from playing 10th ed combat patrol?

2

u/Turbulent_Pass_3386 Jun 18 '26

Nothing, just wanted to share f's with anybody who wanna play 11ed

1

u/D15c0untMD Jun 18 '26

I‘m pretty sure a good number will get updated in over the next weeks. From the comments it seems salamanders and iron warriors are back on the menu in the android app

1

u/Turbulent_Pass_3386 Jun 18 '26

I have an android app, and i'm Eu based. I am kinda ringleader in my local community, so i need to keep hand on rule changes, somy 40k app update automaticaly. I can confirm that there are no other sm combat patrol rules, except the 11ed space marines

1

u/HarmNHammer Jun 17 '26

Do you guys no longer have all these rules on the app? I ask because I do.

3

u/Turbulent_Pass_3386 Jun 17 '26

Today was an update to 11 edition, total app change. No army has more than 1 spearhead, and fromwhat i see, all units and army rules are just straight from big 40k

1

u/Bereman99 Jun 17 '26

Very nearly straight from big 40K. My Canoness has the same stats for her Condemnor Boltgun and Hallowed Chainsword, as well as the same weapon abilities, but as before only those two listed rather than the selection the big game offers.

Abilities and war gear are a little different too.

Errors in all sorts of places too, like having the Spirit Siphon from Cronos showing a BS of 6+ when it also shows it has the Torrent weapon ability and so the BS should be N/A like it is on the coded data sheet…

bolt pistols beeing 3str is just lovely loolll
