Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team Starter Set

Product Information

The rules for this kill team can be found in the Gallowfall book or in Kill Team Annual 2023. You can read our guide for these horned hooligans here. Hand of the Archon For a beginner, this new box is not the one. Whilst the new rules will add an additional level of complexity practiced players will enjoy, but the hefty price tag will put them off. For noobs like me, though, there’s just far to much to remember. This is a complete set of ten unique sculpts – no duplicated sprue of five here! All but one of the poses are great – there’s one hunched over running pose that I think doesn’t quiiiiite work, but it’s not bad enough to actually matter. It also comes with two of each special weapon (other than the sniper rifle), each with a slightly different set of arms. This is where my only real complaint about the set lies – if you want to use them in Kill Team and aren’t just buying for your 40k army, it’s fairly easy to make an illegal squad. You must read the composition rules in the rulebook first rather than relying on the instruction manual, as you’re only allowed to take one of each weapon (to a maximum of four total, including the sniper rifle). Some operators’ abilities can modify other operators’ APL stat, to buff allies or slow down enemies. Etched Colchisian sigils of mysterious portent dominate the torso of the Word Bearers Contemptor Dreadnought, which also features markings representing the searing fire of the Primordial Truth and strips of sacred parchment.

Swaps with the Necromunda Enforcers are tough – the heads are different styles and the arm joins are a bit different. It looks feasible to put an Enforcer boltgun on an Arbites model. Whilst the colour scheme is themed towards the Necron setting, there’s a lot going on on both sides of the board, which can make figuring out what’s what quite difficult.

More dangerous weapons, like the Power Sword above, also get Special Rules like Lethal (which increases chances of a crit), to further bump up their wielder’sodds of winning the battle of dice.

We don’t yet know if Fire Teams have any relevance in-game, or if they are merely for list-building purposes – but, given Kill Team 2.0’s apparent focus on force flexibility as a highly variable attribute between different factions, we wouldn’t be surprised to see multi-Fire Team factions able to deploy more widely, or in different ways, given their largernumbers. Learning to play Kill Team is a doddle with the help of three video tutorials that’ll teach you the ins and outs of the ultimate sci-fi skirmish game. The Heavy Intercessor Gunner opened fire on the to flayed ones at the end of the corridor, killing one.Everything is thin and spindly. Legs don’t line up, feet are wonky, flimsy bladed fingers need to be slotted onto tiny hands that are crossed in front of narrow chests. It’s as if these things have been designed to be as difficult as possible to put together.
