Hi everybody :)

I’m not entirely new to wargaming, but I’ve never played WH40k before. So I have many questions about the game and some tooling around it. I’ll start with universal questions in case answers may help some new players too and then I have a couple of questions about the faction I’d like to play. Thank you for reading it and I hope answering some questions :)

  1. After a Combat Patrol “phase” what do I need to have to play a full Warhammer 40k game? Dices and measuring tape are obvious. But do I need to buy a codex? Do I need to buy a datasheet cards?
  2. How to unlock information about datasheets and detachment rules in WH40k official app?
  3. Are there any popular army builder apps or sites? Or we should stick to the official app?
  4. When I need to specify units for Dedicated Transports? Should it be specified on an army roster list or it could be decided before the game? If it is former, how can I select it in the official app army builder?
  5. The same question about attaching Characters to Bodyguard units?

Specific questions about Space Wolves:

  1. New Codex has new Combat Patrol, but I can find this new Combat Patrol as a box to buy neither on the official warhammer.com site, nor on Amazon nor at my local stores. Do I need to buy units separately to play it as a Combat Patrol or it’ll come out some time later (when?) or it was already sold out and I missed it completely?
  2. Previous Combat Patrol has Battle Leader Thoryk in it. Can I pick him outside of Combat Patrol? If I can, than who is he: Lieutenant, Wolf Guard Battle Leader or someone else? I can find him neither in Legendary Proxies Table nor in Legends Field Manual.

    1. How to unlock information about datasheets and detachment rules in WH40k official app?

    There used to be a code in the paper codex that unlocked it.

    It is likely sold out for the time being. It is relatively new and supposedly popular. I do have one sitting on my shop’s shelf (as well as two of the army boxes) collecting dust.

    Update: Just got off the phone with my GW rep, the new Space Wolves combat patrol has not released yet.

      Oh, thank you very much. I’m glad that I haven’t missed the new Space Wolves Combat Patrol :)

      And on the code, cool, I wasn’t sure will it be in the codex or in the datasheet cards. I guess than I don’t need to buy at least cards :)

        I stopped buying data sheet cards because more often than not they are outdated week 1. But I also gave not played 40k since 8th.
