A couple of years ago Games Workshop released a Kill Team boxed set, based on the 7th edition of the Warhammer 40K rule set.

Shortly after that, they released the 8th edition of the Warhammer 40K rule set.

They followed that up with Shadow War Armageddon, another skirmish level game, and then re-released Necromunda, a skirmish game based on gang warfare in the 40K universe.

Today they released *drumroll* a new boxed edition of Kill Team!

 

I decided to pick up the starter set.

My plans are the same as with the last edition of Kill Team: Tempestus Scions (Stormtroopers) from the Astra Militarum (Imperial Guard) will be the core of my Kill Team.
