Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team: Octarius $199 Sold Out Online (US)
A rogue Inquisitor’s gambit has failed. Hordes of Orks and Tyranids, set against each other in hope of mutual destruction, only grew stronger and now threaten to spill out of the Octarius sector into surrounding space. Only the desperate actions of highly specialised kill teams keeps their rampage in check, but they are not the only ones skulking through the shadows. Elite operatives clash in close confines, engaging in furious firefights and deadly duels, and the fate of billions hangs in the balance.
The new edition of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team has been redesigned from the ground up as the greatest tabletop skirmish experience yet, and Kill Team: Octarius is the perfect place to start your campaign of clandestine missions. This incredible boxed set includes two full kill teams – Veteran Guardsmen of the Death Korps of Krieg and cunning Ork Kommandos – alongside all the rules, terrain, and accessories you need to start playing.
This boxed set includes:
1x 144-page Kill Team Core Book: Learn your way around the brand new Kill Team with this tome of clear, concise rules for matched play, open play, and narrative play missions. Alongside the rules, you’ll find pages packed with lore introducing the dark and gritty world of Kill Team and insight into both the Collecting and Gaming sides of the hobby.

Each team also comes with a full transfer sheet with over 400 markings and emblems for customising your models.

Games Workshop’s Pre-Order Promise.
Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team Core Book $50
While armies numbering millions clash on battlefields spread across a thousand worlds, specialised teams of elite operatives are dispatched on dangerous missions to accomplish vital objectives from the shadows. These kill teams, as they are known, are picked from the most capable and independent of their kind, using strange and esoteric skills to achieve what a mighty army could not.
The new edition of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team has been redesigned from the ground up as the greatest tabletop skirmish experience yet, seeing teams of experienced operatives engage in vicious close-quarters combat as they race to complete their missions. In this book you’ll find the complete rules for playing Kill Team as well as a host of missions to embark on, lore covering the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium, and insight on the factions vying for dominance among the shadows.
The Book
This 144-page book is the ultimate companion for kill team commanders, containing all the knowledge you need to collect, build, paint, and play in the world of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team.
Ten Thousand Years of War
The book opens with a summary of the 41st Millennium’s history, including details on the Imperium’s massive military might and the forces they encounter in their ceaseless wars across the galaxy. It also introduces kill teams, the squads players command in the course of the game, and details their continued deployment across myriad war zones throughout the galaxy.
Core Rules
The first rules section contains the core concepts you need to start fighting battles in Kill Team, including the tools required, phases of play, and operative datasheets.
Killzones
Here you’ll find rules and guidance on how terrain interacts with your games, including example board arrangements, as well as rules governing movement around, over, and through your scenery.
Ways to Play
Once you’ve got the basics squared away, find out all about the three core ways to play the game and the missions you can undertake.
Open Play
A free-form style of play suitable for those new to Kill Team, and a perfect place to practice in a relaxed mission environment. It’s not just for newer players, though, as experienced commanders can use the included mission creation rules to craft thematic and expansive games fit for the most hardened veterans.
Matched Play
As the most mechanically balanced style of play, matched play games are a chance for commanders to pit themselves against their opponents in battles of tactical skill and turn-by-turn decisions. With each kill team using only the core weapons and equipment on their datasheet, players will need to plan ahead to outsmart their foe and claim victory.
Spec Ops Narrative Play
The narrative campaigns detailed in the brand new Spec Ops rules allow you to take your kill team from a band of raw recruits to experienced veterans, earning accolades and special skills along the way. As teams complete objectives and earn rewards – even against opponents not participating in a Spec Ops campaign – decisions made will impact the future of your operatives and turn regular games into a rich narrative experience full of cinematic moments.
Critical Operations Mission Pack
A selection of 9 exciting missions designed to be balanced for matched play games, but equally playable in open play and Spec Ops narrative play games.
Tac Ops
A suite of selectable secondary objectives used across a number of mission types. Tac Ops are hidden from your opponent, so commanders can decide on their strategy ahead of time while watching out for their foe’s actions on the battlefield.
Appendix
The book closes out with a handy reference section packed with special rules and abilities, as well as an overview of the different tokens, counters, and accessories used in games of Kill Team.
Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team: Tac Ops Cards $18
This card pack is an expansion for Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team.
Tac Ops are selectable secondary objectives used in many mission types found in Kill Team, which are hidden from your opponent and provide many different methods of scoring during games.
This pack contains two decks of 27 cards each comprising 24 Tac Ops objectives from the Kill Team Core Book and three selection cards for hiding your chosen objectives from your opponent. The two decks have identical fronts and differently coloured backs to ensure they’re easily kept separate.
Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team: Compendium $50
While many kill teams, such as those of the Deathwatch Space Marines, are made up of hand-picked, specially trained warriors, others are taken from the rank and file of the galaxy’s many armies. While these impromptu operatives are often given little more than a mission description and a firm pat on the back, the harsh conditions of a killzone quickly turn them into hardened veterans in their own right.
Kill Team: Compendium is the definitive 168-page resource for bringing 19 different factions into the world of tabletop skirmish combat, featuring almost every major faction from Warhammer 40,000. From daring Tempestus Scions to disciplined T’au Hunter Cadres, armies from across the galaxy can now put forward their best and brightest to undertake dangerous missions behind enemy lines.
Inside, you’ll find:
– Datacards, Ploys, and equipment for 19 factions ranging from Adeptus Astartes to Genestealer Cults
– Details about fire teams, the small groups of operatives that make up a full-size kill team
– A stunning collection of model photography and artwork featuring kill teams and their operatives
The full list of factions available in this book is as follows:
Space Marines
Grey Knights
Imperial Guard
Forge World
Ecclesiarchy
Talons of the Emperor
Traitor Space Marines
Death Guard
Thousand Sons
Chaos Daemons
Craftworld
Commorite
Troupe
Greenskins
Tomb Worlds
Hunter Cadre
Cadre Mercenaries
Hive Fleet
Brood Coven
NOTE: You will need a copy of the Kill Team Core Book in order to use the contents of this book.
