5 Chaos Space Marine Armies Cheaper than the Combat Patrol Box

With the chaos space marine combat patrol box being such great value. By saving you a whopping £41.50 giving giving you a free helbrute, plus money off the rest of the models. I wondered is it really the cheapest way to start a heretic astartes army? For clarity I will only use games workshop prices, as using other retailers would be better savings, but would be untrue. Using the combat patrol price of £90, but use the discounted prices of other retailers.

Quick round up of what you get in the combat patrol box.

Dark apostle is £24

chaos space marines £37.50

Chaos space marine havocs £35

and of course the helbrute £35

A total value of £131.50, so a great little starter army. You have a good mix of one hq, troop, elite, and heavy support. A good all round army.

first is simply mark iv armour from horus hersy, and the helbrute. The mark iv armour box will give you enough bits to make a chaos space marine squad, a chaos lord, and the havocs. With the helbrute this comes to a total of £82.50 sving you £7.50 off the price of

the combat patrol. Add spikes to taste.

Next is something a little different, start with night lords chaos lord he's £12, add a space marine tactical squad £32.50, and top it off with the warp forged box which contains two obliterators and a venom spitter and that is £42.50. A total of £87 saving you £3 off the combat patrol box.

For you lovers of the fallen, of course you need to with cypher he's £21 cannot have fallen without him, a cultist warband that is £19, a box of fallen which is £21, and some chaos bikers at £26. Altogether this army is £87, once again £3 cheaper than the combat patrol box.

for you kit bashers out there, start with the chaos terminator lord at £18, next is the cultist warband again at £19, some raptors at £26, finally a deathwatch box at £26 altogether £89 one whole pound cheaper than the combat patrol box. Bits you get from the chaos terminator lord and raptors, can easily kit bash the death watch veterans into chosen.

And finally a speedy army, for your hq a sorcerer at £18, the cultist warband again £19, box of raptors which is £26, and to finish up a box of chaos bikes again £26. This brings the total at £89 again a pound less that the combat patrol box.
