40k’s Kill Team Game: FIRST LOOK
The new Warhammer 40k Kill Team game is back, and this time it’s a stand alone supplement – sort of. Come get your first look!
Straight out of 4th Edition the new Warhammer 40k Kill Team rules are back and updated to 7th Edition 40k. Plus depending on what you value the new Kill Team rules themselves, this new Core Set is around a 50% OFF savings over normal MSRP!
Kill Team Contents
- Space Marine Tactical Squad: $40 MSRP
- Tau Breachers / Fire Warriors: $50 MSRP
- 40k Mini Rulebook: $30 separate (eBay)
- Kill Team Rules: TBD
That right there at a minimum is $120 which is nearly a 50% discount off the contents! Seems like a great deal to us for sure, as long as it’s the same models. Save a bunch on models, AND get new rules – BONUS!
Now as far as the rules go, there are a few that are making a comeback, and a few new ones as well, while the Kill Team itself fits nicely into is own little detachment format as well.
Old rules returning from 4th Edition:
- 33 Armor Value Restriction
- No 2+ Save models
- No 3 Wound Models
- Each Model Operates Separately
New Rules:
- 3 Hull point model restriction
- No flyers
Plus up to 3 models can take just take specialist abilities (no rolls required), while one leader gets a separate traits chart to roll on that can affect the whole kill team itself.
From there there’s custom missions to help or hinder your team, and two specially made datasheets that Games Workshop has made to make open box games easy.
Overall I feel like this is another slam dunk product, and perhaps the fist supplement box set that hobbyists will be playing for years to come!

Brutal close-quarters combat in the 41st Millennium
The Game
AdvertisementNo strength in numbers. No margin for error. Pure, fast-paced combat where tactics matter more than brute strength, and every action matters. A single shot can spell the difference between life and death, and a single decision can decide whether a battle ends in glorious victory or dismal defeat: this is Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team.
A whole new way to play games with your Warhammer 40,000 miniatures, this standalone two-player game puts you in charge of small bands of warriors, and gives you one objective – win, or die.
