It looks as if Kill Team might be receiving a similar mechanical refresh.įor those unfamiliar with the two opponents, the Death Korps of Krieg is a faction of the Astra Militarum rarely seen in plastic as a full troop. The company began a similar reimagining of Age of Sigmar’s small-scale line when it released Warcry in 2019, further supported by Underworlds’ arena-based expansions that continues to introduce the fantasy universe’s many factions to the objective-based title.
Fielding ten units designed to highlight individual or paired abilities kept matches shorter and more manageable, not to mention capping the buy-in for a hobby with a reputation for being prohibitively expensive. Initially released in 2011, Kill Team introduced a more compact version of the competitive wargame that normally spans an entire table of terrain and plastic platoons. Publisher Games Workshop said in a community post that the rulebook’s contents comprise “a total reimagining of how combat on this scale should operate in the Warhammer 40,000 universe”. Kill Team Octarius will contain two full squads of miniatures - the Korps of Krieg and Ork Kommandos - alongside the new Kill Team core rulebook, an Octarius manual, plenty of terrain and all the other bits and bobs necessary to pit the two forces against each other in bloody guerilla warfare. Warhammer 40,000 has announced a complete revision of its Kill Team line of skirmish miniature wargaming and will mark the new edition with a boxed set to be released later this year.
