I'm sure this has got to be easier than it appears I'm trying to buy a codex for astra militarum but can't find which is the latest I think its 10th but then I have no idea what it looks like I see so many for sale with different covers but none say which edition they are even in the description this is really hard for a total newb even GW website is a nightmare when you know nothing I searched astra militarum codex and got 0 results I really wander if this hobby will be for me.

There isn't a 10th Ed Codex for AM yet. You can find the Index on the Warhammer Community website in the 40k Downloads tab.

Here: https://www.warhammer-community.com/warhammer-40000-downloads/

You'll also want to download the Munitorium Field Manual in order to have the pts.

I remember having the same problem both when I started and when I tried looking into older editions.
For some reason GW does not seem to be proud of their editions and never labels them as such. 40k materials are either current or outdated, which makes it difficult to collect for a certain edition. Even their Big Rulebooks are only labelled that half the time.

10th Edition at least has a completely free tier with everything available for download from their website.
And just so you know, codices are released over several years, basically over the lifespan of the edition.

Actually do you even need the BRB for combat patrol? It doesn't have a core rules card or pamphlet in it?

Incorrect.
Once the Codex releases the free access to its Index entry is removed.
If you're a SM, Tyranid, Necron or AdMech player, other than the pts, your not getting freebies. At least not from GW....
