I've been reading the 10E BRB and skimmed some Combat Patrol pages from the faction lore section. They mostly seem to be fairly balanced between shooty and melee units, maybe some vehicles/beefy unit, etc mixed in. Obviously there are exceptions (World Eaters, IG, etc), but factions that can have balance seem to be built that way in their Combat Patrols?

So I ask, besides World Eaters, which Combat Patrols are heavily melee focused? Thanks.

Chaos Daemons I guess. Other than that they seem relatively balanced, as you say.

You are not going to be doing much with the GK patrol, if you try to shot with them. Although truth be told, in melee, especialy the NDK, aren't that good either.

Custodes are melee focused to, especialy as they ar burdened with the 3 jetbike dudes and 10 sisters.
