The boxed game drops alongside a host of other kit, including a separate Core Rulebook, the plastic equipment pack, and the Approved Operations Card Pack. Eight full kill teams are also being re-released with new rules, tokens, and other bells and whistles – they will be joined shortly by a second and third wave of kill teams released in due course.
Unless otherwise stated, everything below will have a two-week pre-order period beginning on Saturday.
Kill Team: Hivestorm
The launch set for the new edition of Kill Team is jam-packed with incredible new rules, miniatures, and other stuff. The Warhammer Studio has worked tirelessly to produce the best version of this tight and frenetic skirmish game set in the grim darkness of the far future – and the result is a finely balanced game of covert operations in three dimensions.
This box contains 22 all-new miniatures in two complete kill teams – the daredevil special operatives of the Tempestus Aquilons and their foes, the sinister xenos Vespid Stingwings. They are battling for the fate of Volkus – a planet which mounts one of the biggest guns in the galaxy, and a key strategic point in the wider battle for the Chalnath Expanse.
Both teams come with numerous build options – most can be built either as regular troopers or as key operatives with a diverse array of specialised skills, weapons, and gear. The Aquilons specialise in near-orbital drops directly on their targets, arriving with an automated servo-sentry gun, and an array of devastating Imperial arms, while the terrifyingly mobile Vespid flit about the killzone on their wings, laying waste with their advanced neutron guns.
The box comes with a 112-page softback Core Book containing full rules for the new edition, and a 72-page Hivestorm Dossier going into details about the plot and the campaign for Volkus, and including the rules for both teams.
You also get a Core Token Sheet with 92 double-sided cardboard tokens, another token sheet with 55 tokens for your two teams, 36 Approved Operations Cards to build missions and objectives, a game board, 10 six-sided dice, plus 14 substantial pieces of new Killzone: Volkus terrain, and a Kill Team Equipment Pack containing 30 pieces of universal plastic equipment.
