About the game

What you do in a play session

Gear up for intense skirmishes in the grim and unforgiving universe of Warhammer 40,000! Kill Team is a tactical miniatures combat game that puts you in charge of a small squad of warriors on dangerous missions. Forget massive armies; the focus here is on intense firefights where every soldier matters, and one wrong move can spell doom.

This book is your ticket into this action-packed world. It contains everything you need to get started: the essential rules for maneuvering your troops, using your weapons with precision (and a bit of luck with the dice!), and understanding the phases of each battle. Additionally, you'll find details on three distinct combat scenarios – Volkus, Bheta-Decima, and Gallowdark – each with its own unique challenges and terrain that can turn the tide of battle. And to add some extra spice, the book comes with two mission packs ready to play, ensuring the fun won't end anytime soon.

Whether you're a seasoned 40k veteran or a curious newcomer, Kill Team offers a more streamlined and focused combat experience. It's perfect for those who enjoy strategy, miniatures, and military sci-fi narratives. The adrenaline rush of each dice roll, the tactical positioning of your units, and the tension of every engagement are what make this game so addictive. Prepare your squad, sharpen your blades, and let the battle commence!
