Warhammer 40K: New Warhammer Heroes Are Their Own Kill Team
Games Workshop has announced a new batch of Warhammer Heroes coming and this set can be used in Kill Team!
Warhammer Heroes are the special runs of miniatures that Games Workshop sells in the “blind box” format. Typically these sculpts are unique and are fun hobby projects or replacements for other models in your army. However, this new batch of Space Marines from Warhammer Heroes is getting rules you can use in Kill Team!
“There’s a brand new set of Warhammer Heroes coming later this year, with all the character-packed models you’ll need to mix-and-match a full kill team of Space Marines, each with their own inimitable style.”
“Strike Force Justian is a standalone kill team, separate from the Phobos Strike Team, Intercession Squad, or Space Marine Compendium kill teams. They’re designed as a straightforward and self-contained entry point, and so lack the team-wide abilities and equipment options of their peers – on the other hand, they do have a Captain.”
Strike Force Justian
Personally, I do like the sculpts of this set and I think it’s cool you’ll be able to use them in games of Kill Team. They will have a Captain which is not a typical character you’ll see in Kill Team, however, they do have some other limits compared to other Kill Teams.
It’s also cool to see a mix of Space Marine armors in a single “unit” — even if it is for Kill Team. My one grip is that these are being sold as “blind boxes” so you won’t know which ones you’re getting. That’s going to make collecting them all to actually play as a single Kill Team a bit of a chore. Or you just go in with a few buddies and buy a couple cases to ensure you all get one full Kill Team…
Warhammer Heroes are coming soon!
