via Games Workshop
Kill Team: The Slicing Noose – Drukhari Starter Set $50
The Wyches of the Drukhari – also known as Dark Eldar – are vicious and cunning, their fighting style based on a foundation of raw speed. Their Wych Kill Teams can dodge an enemy’s blade as easily as if it were moving through treacle, artfully lopping off limbs and heads as they dance through the melee.
An expansion for Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team, this box includes 10 plastic miniatures, a scenery set (with exclusive rules!), and brand-new Tactics and Mission cards. Included:
– A 10-model Drukhari Kill Team: supplied on purple plastic, these can be used to represent The Slicing Noose or your own Drukhari Kill Team. This kit includes 14 different heads and 10 different bodies (six female variants and four male variants);
– A set of 2 Eldritch Ruins: overgrown and deadly scenery pieces representative of fearful deathworlds. Covered in symbols and entwined with malevolent deathworld flora, they’ll give your games of Kill Team an extra-arcane look;
– 11 Tactics cards and 2 Mission cards: the Tactics cards are split between the 4 Drukhari Tactics taken from the Kill Team Core Manual and 6 Drukhari Tactics exclusive to this set, giving you new ways to play with your Drukhari kill team. Also included is a Tactics card for the included scenery, providing rules for incorporating them into your games. The 2 Mission cards are split between 1 Matched Play and 1 Narrative Play mission;
– An 8-page booklet describing The Slicing Noose, their history and background, along with a showcase of painted miniatures and a timeline of their deployments;
– 10 datacards for The Slicing Noose, ready for you to use right away;
– A sheet of card gaming tokens, including 10 Move/Charge tokens, 10 Fall Back/Advance tokens, 10 Shaken tokens, 10 Ready/Shoot tokens, and 6 Objective tokens.
Kill Team: Kill Team Mordelai – Deathwatch Starter Set $60
Deathwatch kill teams are made up of veteran battle-brothers drawn from the ranks of numerous Space Marine Chapters. Each brings his own strengths and specialist skills, forging a whole greater than the sum of the kill team’s parts. Kill Team Mordelai is a perfect example of this approach.
An expansion for Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team, this box includes 5 plastic miniatures, a scenery set (with exclusive rules!), and brand-new Tactics and Mission cards. Included:
– A 5 Deathwatch Kill Team: supplied on brown plastic, these can be used to represent Kill Team Mordelai or your own Deathwatch Kill Team. This kit includes a vast array of weaponry – 5 boltguns, 5 power swords, 2 thunder hammers, a frag cannon, 2 storm shields, 2 shotguns, an Infernus heavy bolter, a Stalker-pattern boltgun, 2 power maces and a xenophase blade – along with 7 different heads and 18 Chapter-specific shoulder pads;
– A set of 3 Barbed Venomgorse: a scenery set made up of 3 individual plants. There are 3 trunks and 3 sets of flora, which go together to make the wild and strange-looking plants – there’s a lot of scope for variety, and no two Venomgorse need look the same;
– 11 Tactics cards and 2 Mission cards: the Tactics cards are split between the 4 Deathwatch Tactics taken from the Kill Team Core Manual and 6 Deathwatch Tactics exclusive to this set, giving you new ways to play with your Deathwatch kill team. Also included is a Tactics card for the included scenery, providing rules for incorporating them into your games. The 2 Mission cards are split between 1 Matched Play and 1 Narrative Play mission;
– An 8-page booklet describing Kill Team Mordelai, their history and background, along with a showcase of painted miniatures and a timeline of their deployments;
– 5 datacards for Kill Team Mordelai, ready for you to use right away;
– A sheet of card gaming tokens, including 10 Move/Charge tokens, 10 Fall Back/Advance tokens, 10 Shaken tokens, 10 Ready/Shoot tokens, and 6 Objective tokens.
Kill Team Deathwatch Dice $12.50
This set contains 6 6-sided dice and 2 10-sided dice – the former used during games of Kill Team, the latter used to roll on certain tables when assembling your squad ready for combat. Themed to match the Deathwatch, these dice are black with silver markings. The D6 feature a silver Deathwatch icon in place of the 6 and a red Kill Team logo in place of the 1; the D10 feature a skull in place of the 1.
Kill Team Drukhari Dice $12.50
Killzone: Death World Forest $80
Deadly, menacing and bizarre, forest deathworlds are attritional battle zones. When a soldier fights on one, they have to withstand not only the vicious artillery of the foe, but the horrifying cluster-vines, crystal shards and strange relics add an extra layer of unimaginable danger. Shardwrack spines form impenetrable barriers over the millennia, barbed venomgorse and grapple weed snake insidiously toward any living being, pumping them full of debilitating neurotoxin and eldritch ruins resonate with the psychic energies of their long-passed creators. Where there grows a deathworld forest, nothing is safe.
The Death World Forest Killzone Environment is an expansion for Kill Team – in the packed box, you’ll find a gameboard, scenery, and exclusive rules that use the unique nature of Death World Forest terrain to introduce dangerous new missions and powerful effects to your games. Included:
– A double-sided Kill Team gameboard measuring 22” x 30”, printed on heavy, durable card stock. 1 side depicts a Death World Forest, and the other an overgrown Imperial Sector, an area of war-torn city;
– 12 Death World Forest Tactics cards – these can be used by any Kill Team faction, with 8 cards providing interactions with the Death World Forest scenery and 5 being used specifically by Scout, Combat or Veteran Specialists;
– A Death World Forest Environment card, which provides 6 different rules allowing interaction – positive and negative – with the scenery;
– 4 Death World Forest Mission cards – designed to be used in conjunction with the gameboard and scenery, this is a set of 2 Matched Play missions and 2 Narrative Play missions, which are split between attacker and defender;
– 3 sets of Death World Forest scenery – 6 Eldritch Ruins, 9 sets of Barbed Venomgorse, 6 Shardwrack Spines and 6 pieces of Grapple Weed in total.
The Lord of the Rings™ Battle of Pelennor Fields $150
As the sun begins to rise upon the fields of Pelennor, the great siege of Minas Tirith is all but lost… Yet hope has not faded and help is close at hand. Through the crisp morning air, the sound of horns can be heard ringing out, signalling the arrival of King Théoden and the Riders of Rohan. With the hosts of Mordor arrayed in their thousands, Théoden gives an impassioned speech and leads his men into the fray, riding for ruin and the world’s ending!
Prepare to enter the amazing world of Middle-earth, and recreate the greatest battles and adventures from The Lord of the Rings™ and The Hobbit™. In this box set, you’ll find all the miniatures (no less than 84!) and rules you and an opponent will need to defend the city of Minas Tirith – or take command of the forces of Evil and wage destruction and war upon the kingdom of Gondor.
The Lord of the Rings™ Measurers $35
Designed for use with the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game, this is a set of 7 measuring rulers – supplied on silver metallic plastic – in a variety of shapes which tie in thematically to Middle-earth itself. Use them to measure space between models for combat, casting magic and moving your models. Each is tied to a specific theme – Sting measures 4”, which is the distance Hobbits can be moved in-game, and Gandalf’s staff is a mighty 12”: the range of most spells. Included:
