LVO 2023 – Play the Ultimate Game of Cops and Robbers With Kill Team: Soulshackle

A prison ship transporting a notorious psychic criminal has crashed into the Gallowdark. Making their escape into the warren of corridors within, they have become the target of the highest echelons of Imperial law enforcement.

The Adeptus Arbites are back to dispense the Emperor’s justice. All that stands between them and their target is the knotted topography of the Gallowdark… and the Hand of the Archon, a savage band of Drukhari Kabalites.

The Adeptus Arbites Exaction Squad is an elite team of Imperial agents with one job – to secure their target and let no one stand in their way. Unlike small-fry planetary Enforcers, the Arbites are the last word in Imperial justice.

This incredibly versatile kit comes with multiple build options for each trooper – they can be built as an Exaction Squad of specialists for games of Kill Team, including types like Proctor-exactant, Chirguant, and the Cyber-Mastiff handling Leashmaster. You can also arm them all as shotgun-toting Vigilants or riot-shielded Subductor squads for use in games of Warhammer 40,000.

Arrayed against them are a cruel band of Kabalite Warriors. With a packed upgrade sprue, you can make a range of specialists, including an Archsybarite, Crimson Duellist, and even a Skysplinter Assassin. 

The Gallowdark is also levelling up, and is expanded with 15 new pieces of terrain, including breachable walls (with push-out sections) and a hololith dais with an adorable 3D display board, so your Kill Teams can play Kill Team while you play Kill Team.

Of course, you can also add this terrain to another set and you’ll have enough to play a game of Boarding Actions in Warhammer 40,000.

Soulshackle comes with a rulebook explaining how to use both kill teams and nine new missions involving the new terrain in the box set. To catch up on the rest of the Warhammer 40,000 previews, head back to the Warhammer Preview Online Hub.
