Brutal close-quarters combat in the 41st Millennium

The Game

No strength in numbers. No margin for error. Pure, fast-paced combat where tactics matter more than brute strength, and every action matters. A single shot can spell the difference between life and death, and a single decision can decide whether a battle ends in glorious victory or dismal defeat: this is Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team.

A whole new way to play games with your Warhammer 40,000 miniatures, this standalone two-player game puts you in charge of small bands of warriors, and gives you one objective – win, or die.

Corruptio Malum – Luke’s Kill Team $137

99020116016_CorruptioMalum01Why did you choose this Kill Team?

I came up with a backstory that a small forward force of Adeptus Mechanicus sent deep into the furthest reaches of the galaxy would serve as a repair station for all of the Emperor’s finest, but far enough away from any danger so as no tot be under attack themselves.

As fate should have it no wars occurred near them and thus the way point became useless. Instead of being recalled the decision was made to simply abandon them without communication. Over the next few centuries, forgotten by all but the warp, they had to repair themselves and upgrade themselves for survival from whatever they could find. After excavating the area they found several odd artifacts and began to worship the new totems, not knowing these were relics of dark powers.

Snagrod’s Burna Boyz – John’s Kill Team $124.50

99020103033_SnagrodsBurnaBoyz01Why did you choose this Kill Team?

I was inspired to build this Kill Team by a segment in Codex: Orks which describes the legendary warboss “Arch-Arsonist Snagrod” of the Bad Moon clan. I pictured a warband of Burna-Boyz riding around in flame-yellow Trukks, looting and setting fire to everything in sight.

Pariah Conflux – Simon’s Kill Team $92

99020110025_PariahConflux01

Why did you choose this Kill Team?

I’ve wanted to add some Necron Flayed Ones to my collection for some time now. The idea of such calculated killers being driven by an unquenchable need to consume blood is as unsettling as it is fascinating. Feared and reviled in equal measure by the pitiless Necron rulers, they are the ultimate realisation of their hubris. This made it thematically tricky to find a unit to partner them with, but I was struck with the idea of them being loyally defended by Canoptek Wraiths – programmed to defend them but unaware of their pariah status.

Strike Pack Alphic – Josh’s Kill Team $83

99020105048_StrikePackAlphic01Why did you choose this Kill Team?

I instantly knew that a perfect kill team would be the Militarum Tempestus. Their background as elite soldiers of the Imperium capable of unleashing deadly firepower with lethal accuracy makes for a perfect kill team. And after reading through their codex, the story of the 54th Psian Jakals sold them to me.

The Red Death of Dûriel – Stu’s Kill Team $66

99020111006_RedDeathofDuriel01

Why did you choose this Kill Team?

For me Kill Team is an excellent opportunity to collect some miniatures not usually found in my collection and create some great background for them. And this is exactly what my Kill Team is about.

The Red Death of Dûriel is a roaming troupe of Harlequins whose task it is to tell the tale of the fall of Valedor. Each has their part play in this tragic story and it is the role of Shadowseer Menahina Ylsa to lead them in their ballad.

As for the players themselves each embodies a major contributor in the conflict that lead to the destruction of Valedor.

Time to go through my collection and create a Tyranid Kill Team. If only I had some good Ambush-style units…oh wait.
