Breaching charges at the ready – Kill Team is leaving terra firma and heading into the labyrinthine corridors of a massive, millennia-old space hulk.
Dare you brave the Gallowdark? This ancient space hulk is an amalgamation of countless ships from hundreds of civilisations. It drifts through the void, hopping in and out of the warp and realspace, and now it’s back. Factions from all over the galaxy are sending their boldest and best to plunder its innards – Welcome to Kill Team: Into the Dark.
This is a new Kill Team boxed set that works as a self-contained game, and you can jump right in with everything you need to focus on fast and furious skirmishes in tight corridors.
The Gallowdark is a legendary vessel, tracked by the Imperium for centuries. The Imperial Navy Breachers are among the first to board the hulk after its latest reappearance. Also known as Voidbreachers, these elite soldiers are trained to carry out hazardous boarding actions, with gear and weapons optimised for fighting in cramped quarters of enemy ships.
They aren’t the only space-faring Kill Team to have boarded the Gallowdark. A Kroot Kinband of expert trackers, sharpshooters, and guerrillas is also stalking through the hulk in search of glory, treasure, and fresh meat.*
As you would expect from the innards of a giant spaceship full of gloomy corridors, eerie flashing lights and inviting vents, the terrain you’ll be fighting over is a little different from previous Kill Team boxes. This set lets you create maze-like boards, full of narrow lines of sight and with sturdy doors to breach.
What’s more, every box in the upcoming season of Kill Team is thematically linked, exploring the setting of the Gallowdark further – you can grow your terrain collection throughout the releases, building up an incredible modular Kill Team board along the way.
This isn’t a new edition of the game. All of your existing Kill Teams will work seamlessly. So, you’ll be able to command a raiding party of Ork Kommandos or go hunting for relics with a Voidscarred Corsair team, and who knows what else in the future…
There will be loads of news coming up about this exciting new environment and all the dangers and delights it's packed with. Check back on the Warhammer Community site for the rest of the day's skirmish reveals and sign up for our newsletter for further news.
