By now, your kill teams have conducted clandestine operations across numerous war zones, from the ruin-strewn battlefields of Octarius to the claustrophobic confines of the Gallowdark. After the cataclysmic finale of Gallowfall, this creaking space hulk has plummeted through the atmosphere of the planet Bheta-Decima.
This nascent forge world has been heavily wounded by the devastating impact, but its Tech-magi continue to conduct clandestine experiments deep within seabound industrial rigs. These perilous platforms are the setting for the next season of Kill Team, and two teams of stealthy operatives are already preparing to clash above its predator-infested seas.
This is Kill Team: Salvation.
Dispatched to Bheta-Decima to rescue a Farseer held captive by an ambitious Magos, the Blades of Khaine draw their members from various Aspect Warrior shrines, including the Striking Scorpions, the sneakiest close combat specialists in the Aeldari field.
Striking Scorpions are consummate hunters, specialised in stalking their prey through dense environments. These patient warriors often lay motionless for days, observing their victims before descending upon them in a whirlwind of shuriken pistols, mandiblasters, and chainswords.
To free their Farseer, they must battle the Scout Squad kill team brought in to defend them. Space Marine Scouts are Astartes-in-training, sent on exacting missions to stress-test their skills and demonstrate their mastery of the battlefield.
Armed with a diverse array of weapons, including Astartes shotguns, boltguns, pistols, sniper rifles, heavy bolters, and missile launchers, these customisable squads are more than capable of tackling the Asuryani threat – and the myriad other crash-landed kill teams now operating on Bheta-Decima.
Kill Team: Salvation is a more tightly focused box than previous releases. It contains two kill teams consisting of 10 Striking Scorpions and 10 Space Marine Scouts, plus six pieces of Salvation Rig Apparatus terrain.
The box also contains a Kill Team: Salvation book, packed with background information on Bheta-Decima and the combatants in the box, as well as rules for both teams, and for fighting skirmish battles on extraction-rigs jutting out of a lethal ocean. There are also exclusive reference cards for both teams – including datacards, Tac Ops, ability, ploy, and equipment cards, as well as token sheets.
You can use these kill teams with your own collection of existing terrain, or grab the upcoming Killzone: Bheta-Decima. This set contains 18 pieces of terrain to use with the new killzone rules in Kill Team: Salvation – including a Ferratonic Furnace with a redesigned platform and ramparts, eight modular gantries (two large, two small, and four medium), and nine industrial-themed objective markers, plus a double-sided game board representing the toxic, fume-shrouded oceans of Bheta-Decima.
