Warhammer 40K: Kill Team – New Expansion And Future Plans
Kill Team is getting a new way to play along with a brand new roadmap for the rest of 2023. Gather your crew because it’s Kill Team time!
Gallowdark might be falling this weekend but the next chapter of Kill Team is already getting primed for impact. This time it’s a classic match-up of Chaos Cultists vs the Imperial Agents of the Inquisition. Prepare for Kill Team: Ashes of Faith!
New Kill Team Expansion
“Welcome to Kill Team: Ashes of Faith – a brand new expansion box packed with 40 miniatures and a deep narrative campaign system full of territories to capture and schemes to concoct.
This box is a bit of an oddity; It’s not part of the current Kill Team season. Rather this is a narrative campaign in a box and a brand new way to play Kill Team.”
That’s right this isn’t your typical Kill Team expansion. This boxed set features “a complete start-to-finish campaign system” in side. While this campaign is designed around the two featured Kill Teams in the box you can also run this campaign with any Kill Teams if you want to change up your experience.
Because this system uses cards and reusable stickers you’ll be able to replay the campaign and end up with lots of variations especially if you choose to swap out Kill Teams. And speaking of Kill Teams, the two that are included are rather interesting opposing forces.
Inquisitorial Agents
These Inquisitorial Agents are primary stars and four of them have alternate assembly options: “the pistol-packing Interrogator can also become a knife-juggling Enlightener, for example – while there’s also an Autosavant, a faithful Tome-skull, and a Gun Servitor who can be armed (literally) with a heavy bolter, multi-melta, or plasma cannon.”
And if you saw those models and thought “hey…wait a minute, those look like a few from the old school Inquisitor 54mm game…” You’re correct! That wasn’t an accident. Additionally, there are Sisters of Silence and Temptus Scions included in the box for these Agents to recruit to their cause. There’s more options you can select to build this Kill Team as well. If you have Kasrkin, Imperial Navy Breachers, Arbites Exaction Squads, or Veteran Guardsmen you can also choose them to add to your crew.
Hidden Canker
On the Chaos side of things there’s a cult dubbed the Hidden Canker causing all sorts of chaos. It features Chaos Cultists with a twist: they can “mutate in the midst of battle” and turn in even deadlier combatants.
The basic devotee might turn into a Mutant and then they could even transform again into a Torment! You’ll want to be ready for this cult to morph into something new at the drop of a hat! Prodding them along is the Dark Commune. Someone has to keep these cultists in line…
This stand alone expansion for Kill Team offers a new narrative way to play. So if you’re wanting to decide the fate of the city of Deepwell, keep an eye out for Kill Team: Ashes of Faith.
Kill Team Roadmap
Games Workshop also teased some more future plans for Kill Team as well.
“More specific clues abound, however. An Aeldari presence seems likely. Also, a glimpse of structures which appear to be built amid choppy waves. Further scouting is clearly required.”
There you have it! Kill Team is getting a new expansion and there’s more on the way in 2023!
