  We present a comprehensive overview of the properties of a sample of 41
magnetic chemically peculiar stars that have been recently identified in the
Kepler field by our team (H\"{u}mmerich et al. 2018). The stars populate the
whole age range from zero-age to terminal-age main sequence in the mass
interval from 1.5 to 4 Ms. Several of the studied objects exhibit a hitherto
unobserved wealth of detail in their light curves indicative of persisting
complex surface structures. Monoperiodic variability and light curve stability
were identified as cardinal criteria for selecting mCP star candidates among
early-type objects in photometric surveys. Subsequent studies will be concerned
with an exhaustive follow-up analysis of the new mCP stars, which we expect to
lead to new insights on the physics of the CP star phenomenon.
