The included terrain in this starter set is plenty to fill out the system’s smaller game board. The rules even encourage you to give each one a name and a backstory. Each side is highly customizable, allowing for players to personalize each side to suit their tastes. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill starter set miniatures with simplistic sculpts and fixed poses. Inside the box you’ll have enough plastic sprus to make 20 miniatures, 10 for each of the two included factions, the Genestealer Cults and the Adeptus Mechanicus. Simply put, Kill Team is a paradigm shift for Games Workshop, one that’s set to breathe new life into the iconic 40k tabletop franchise. It’s also relatively affordable, coming in at just $130 here in the United States. This stand-alone miniatures skirmish game contains everything you need to get started, plus rules for 16 different factions in total. Its newest product line, called Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team, upends both of those preconceptions.
Games Workshop, the hobby miniatures giant based in the United Kingdom, is notorious for two things: massive, ungainly rulesets that sprawl across multiple hardback sourcebooks and a very steep price point.
