About the game
What you do in a play session
If you think epic space battles are only about armies numbering in the millions, get ready to discover the grittier, tactical side of warfare. While massive fronts consume entire galaxies, the real chess match happens in the shadows. This is where Kill Teams come in: elite, specialized, and highly trained squads dispatched on suicide missions where the brute force of a whole army wouldn't suffice. They utilize esoteric skills and guerrilla tactics to achieve objectives that shift the fate of entire worlds.
This edition of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team has been completely redesigned to be the ultimate tabletop skirmish experience. Forget slow, drawn-out combat; here, the focus is on visceral, close-quarters fighting in tight, dangerous spaces. The Octarius set provides the perfect backdrop for this chaos, pitting your squads against each other amidst the ruins of Ork structures. Imagine a labyrinth of rubble, elevated platforms, and makeshift fortifications where a shot could come from a completely unexpected angle.
Beyond being an incredible scenario supplement, this box is a complete expansion package. It features a detailed war manual, a variety of missions to test your skills, and a collection of Citadel miniatures and modular terrain that will transform your gaming table. It is the perfect tool for seasoned Kill Team players looking to level up their gameplay, or for newcomers wanting a robust terrain kit to build their own battlefields. Ready your dice, pick your squad, and enter the killzone!
