The latest edition of Kill Team has officially launched, introducing the Kill Team: Hivestorm boxed set along with new kill teams, terrain, and accessories. Pre-orders for the new set are now available, with a two-week pre-order window and special incentives for early buyers.
Kill Team: Hivestorm Boxed Set
Kill Team: Hivestorm is the centerpiece of the new edition, featuring two brand new kill teams: the Tempestus Aquilons and Vespid Stingwings. The Aquilons are elite soldiers equipped with grav-chutes for tactical insertion, while the Stingwings are swift and deadly fighters, enhanced with technology from the T’au Empire. The boxed set includes 22 miniatures with multiple build options, offering flexibility for players.
The battles in Hivestorm take place in Killzone: Volkus, a new terrain set designed to bring verticality and strategic depth to the game. The set also introduces equipment tokens, giving players access to items like grenades and barricades to enhance their tactical options.
