About this deal

It’s a good book, too. Rules books can often be daunting tomes rammed full of minutiae and errata that serves more to confuse than enlighten. The Kill Team Core Book, however, is a well-written exercise in brevity and structure that other creators of rules manuals could stand to learn a thing or two from. Still, it’s not exactly the easiest thing to learn to play from, simply because there’s so much info in it. Like their Vetersan Guardsmen foes, the Kommandos are also provided with plenty of optional extras: knives, holsters, grenades, and the popular multi-tool affectionately dubbed the Swiss Waaaghmy Knife. Why not build a kill team out of your Warhammer 40,000 collection and give these free rules a try? If you like it, a starter set containing two full teams, terrain, and the complete rules is available. Or if you prefer the depths of a space hulk to the barrens of Octarius, you can wait a few short weeks until we release the next big box set – Kill Team: Into the Dark . Citadel Miniatures: Two full kill teams of Veteran Guardsmen and Ork Kommandos form the heart of war zone Octarius, each featuring a wide array of customisation and alternate assembly options. Extra detail parts allow for deep personalisation of your kill team, with many models able to be assembled as multiple different kinds of operative. Each team also comes with a full transfer sheet with over 400 markings and emblems for customising your models. In general, once theKommandos get up in the Guardsmen’s faces, things swing in the Greenskins’ favour – and, when that happens, the gleeful melee mayhem thesefellascan wreak will have them melting the heart of even inveterate Emperor-lovers like me.

And although it’s intended for competitive play, we can assure you that the changes here make for a much more enjoyable casual game as well. Kill Team FAQs ( Link)In addition to the core rules, the Intercession Squad Kill Team will get you right into the action with a band of six powerful Primaris Intercessors or Assault Intercessors – which you can mix and match to suit your tactics. There are two books in the Kill Team Starter Set. One is the all-important (and oddly named) “Recruit Edition” book, which is essentially a beginners guide designed to teach brand-new players of Kill Team all the stuff they need to get playing. As for the game itself: sure, the new rules are kinda of cool, even if they are just an exercise in turning the phrase “you can now shoot indoors” into as many words as possible. The new setting helps align everything with the overall lore of Ninth Edition as well, which is also sort of neat.

Take them for what you will. They look cool and will make your gaming set up look all the more complete should you paint them up in some fancy colours, but personally I don’t really see what’s wrong with a tape measure or a regular ruler. Double-Sided Game Mat As ever, the artwork on the box is outstanding. Depicting an intrepid team of retail workers dealing with some average Saturday customers the Death Korps of Krieg facing off against the rampaging Ork Kommandos, the box cover sets the tone for Kill Team: cramped, claustrophobic, and brutal.First off, you can no longer prevent doors from being opened or closed. You’re going to have to try a bit harder to stop your foe from catching you than by just slamming a door in their face. If an expansion charges as much as the Starter Set, you’d rightly expect content on-par with that included in the original box. But this just doesn’t happen with the Pariah Nexus expansion.
