About this deal

A huge thanks to the one and only Patron Saint of Tabletop Boardgames Oberael for his assistance putting this section together. In the previous edition, each individual model had a points cost, and Kill Teams could mix and match models fairly freely, within a given points budget. Even with a whacking great leadership statistic of 10, though, with his entire team defeated, the Chronomancer failed his morale test. However, if it’s done poorly, instead of being slowly drip-fed key concepts and ideas, players can be left with many unanswered questions, or a partial – or worse, incorrect – understanding of the game. If you were hoping for themed dice, range rules, tokens, and whatever else, I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed.

Kill-Team is a much smaller scope version of the game in which players control small teams of specialists rather than entire armies, and it features gameplay more reminiscent of Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics due to the manner in which individual units are controlled. Back then, it was a cluster of ruined Imperial Cathedra; this time, it’s an Ork shanty town, so replete with ramshackle barricades and ramparts that you genuinely cannot use all of itin a game, becausethe dinky Kill Team board becomes too crowded.

In general, once theKommandos get up in the Guardsmen’s faces, things swing in the Greenskins’ favour – and, when that happens, the gleeful melee mayhem thesefellascan wreak will have them melting the heart of even inveterate Emperor-lovers like me. This is an expansion set , not a starter set, like the original box which set some intergalactic space furries against the Blue Man Group Space Wolves against T’au. The Heavy Intercessor Gunner suddenly found himself beset by a surviving Flayed One, but his assailant missed his attack. The Necrons netted a whopping 3 Victory Points in this turn, bringing the score to Space Marines – 8, Necrons – 5. Having being hurled headfirst into the finer points of Age of Sigmar and more recently waterboarded in a barrel of 40K, I’m now first in the firing line for the new Kill Team box set, Pariah Nexus.

Through a Spec Ops campaign, individual members of your Kill Team choose one of four classes (Combat, Staunch, Marksman, and Scout), gain XP, rank up, gain Battle Scars and Battle Honours, requisition equipment, and pursue sequential story missions together. Matched Play will, no doubt, quickly dominate the conversation after launch, as players debate how the Kommandos, Kriegers, and all the many army lists from the Compendium compare with one another competitively. The Heavy Intercessor Gunner opened fire on the to flayed ones at the end of the corridor, killing one. On a 3 or less, you’ve suffered a Flesh Wound and take stat penalties, go back to 1 Wound, and keep fighting. The sticker, which is printed to contain the box’s contents list, has been placed very carefully over the original contents list on the back of the box, obscuring it entirely (you can just about make out the DKoK Transfer Sheet underneath all the ripped sticker).For a box that requires at the very least another purchase that includes the Core Manual to be able to use? Still, it’s not exactly the easiest thing to learn to play from, simply because there’s so much info in it. You might still find it from your local retail and, if you do, you might want to snag it because it’s quite a deal. Whilst I’ve no doubt that new players will be able to sit down and eventually muddle through the 4 missions in the book, it’s not going to be quite the smooth and quick-fire experience that GW are trying to turn Kill Team into.
