Games Workshop is unleashing the new edition of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team with the pre-orders of Hivestorm and more!

It’s time for the new edition of Kill Team! Hivestorm is out this weekend as well as a handful of new boxed sets for various Kill Teams. You can also snag their card packs which are online only. Personally, I think dipping into the new Kill Team for me is probably going to include the core book and possibly one of the other boxed sets. Vespids and Aquilons aren’t my jam but you do you if they are yours. Really, for me, it might be time to snag that Nemesis Claw box though…

Kill Team: Hivestorm with Exclusive Wound Counter Bases $230

Alien invaders seek to disable the fearsome defences of the Imperial world of Volkus.

Kill Team: Core Book $60

Guns blaze and blades clash amidst the shadows of gothic hellscapes as kill teams fight for supremacy. Hard-bitten saboteurs dash through hails of crossfire to plant their explosive charges. Hulking gunners bombard enemy positions with massive cannons, pinning the foe down even as sword-wielding bladesmen and keen-eyed snipers move in for the kill. Through the ruins of towering cities, along the twisting corridors of derelict spacecraft, and among the glittering remains of once-glorious cathedrums, the kill teams seek to complete their vital missions. Whether it’s assassination, reconnaissance, sabotage, or dark ritual, the fates of entire worlds may hang on to their success or failure.

Kill Team is an action-packed strategy game of skirmish combat, set in the war-torn 41st Millennium. This hardcover core book is loaded with everything you need to start playing, including a streamlined, straightforward ruleset, background and reference material, stunning artwork and photography, and gaming aids.
