Kill Team is a fantastic game to fit quick Warhammer action into a busy day – it only needs a handful of models and an hour or so to fight exhilarating skirmish battles. But what if you could speed the setup of your next Matched Play game even more? With, say, a pack of handy reference cards bristling with bitesize rules and mission plans?
The Critical Ops – Tac Ops & Mission Card Pack is the perfect companion to the Kill Team experience, giving you instant access to a variety of maps, missions (including three new ones), and updated Tac Ops for all factions. It all makes for a balanced, competitive game, especially as the reference leaflet included contains numerous methods for generating a mission.
This deck is great for introducing beginners to their first few matches. Alongside the free Lite Rules and Intercession Squad downloads, you can bust out exciting games at a moment’s notice, and later on combine the deck with the full Core Book for the complete rules.*
Each of the three new missions provides simple objectives compatible with all nine map cards, which you can build up using whatever terrain you have to hand – be it Kill Team scenery, upturned mugs, discarded egg cartons, or the gaming tables at your local Warhammer store.
Veteran commanders will appreciate the rules reference cards, covering the Matched Play game sequence and the Scouting Step. The Tac Op cards have been updated with wisdom from more than a year of action-packed games, and represent the definitive competitive experience for dedicated players.
There are fresh Tac Ops to test your abilities in more ways than ever before, while old favourites like Vantage (now called Secure Vantage) and Hold Them Back return with some balance tweaks. Secure Vantage no longer requires an action to complete, while Hold Them Back lets your opponents’ operatives get closer than before. Forget camping on your home side – fast and loose is now the name of the game.
The Critical Ops pack is coming to pre-orders this weekend, just in time to lead your friends and family through that Kill Team: Into the Dark box they got you for Christmas. They do know what you want, right? If you’re worried, we’ve prepared a simple quiz you can pass on to them, to ensure you’ll only get the finest Warhammer goodies under the tree.
* Including narrative Spec Ops campaigns that take your team from raw recruits to seasoned veterans.
