Saturday Pre-orders – A New Edition Begins in Kill Team: Hivestorm

It’s finally here – the new edition of Kill Team has dropped in from the clouds with weapons hot. There’s the incredible new Kill Team: Hivestorm boxed set, eight returning kill teams, and special pre-order incentives to go around.

Unless noted otherwise, everything below has a two-week pre-order window.

Kill Team: Hivestorm

PreOrder Sep21 KT 01 Hivestorm

Kill Team: Hivestorm is the fantastic launch set for the new edition of Kill Team, starring two brand new teams, new terrain, tons of gaming accessories, and the complete rules you need to play. This marks a new era for strategic spec ops skirmishes, with the rules you know and love refined and streamlined into the most action-packed, easy-to-learn game yet.

Both of the kill teams included in Hivestorm are completely new, pitting the grav-chute daredevils of the Tempestus Aquilons against the agile and ferocious Vespid Stingwings – flush with new tech from their T’au Empire allies. There are 22 multi-part miniatures in all, with tons of detail and multiple build options.

The Vespid and Aquilons are fighting amidst the ruins of Killzone: Volkus,* a new set of terrain with multiple vantage points and tall walls to add verticality to the Kill Team experience. A new pack of equipment tokens makes battles an even more tactical affair, now giving operatives the choice of grenades, ladders, barricades, and more to even the odds.

Also included are two rule books – a Core Book full of fundamental rules and the Hivestorm Dossier packed with new lore, missions, and rules for the two teams – plus a set of dice, a double-sided game board, and a huge token sheet packed with useful aids for common rules. The two kill teams also get their own tokens spread across a second sheet, designed specifically for their own unique rules.

These are available while stocks last.

Meanwhile, select third-party stockists will have sets of 11 miniature dice trays with space for two dice to track wounds. Speak to your local store manager for more information. These are also available while stocks last.
