With the ranked battle version of Warhammer in it's Old World form coming from Forge World, it's interesting to see skirmish games coming from the main studio - Warcry, Silver Tower and the Underworlds series, Necromunda and more. This week it's Warhammer 40K's turn with the reinvention of Kill Team, alongside the promise of a whole new combat system. It is interesting to see this not only having a two week delivery window, but also the rules, dice and extra bits from the boxed game being offered in the same week as the box release. And with the promise of add-ons each quarter (see below) this could be the 40K Warcry, which would be amazing!!
The big-mutha release is of course the boxed game - Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team: Octarius. With brand new Orks and plastic Krieg, all with multiple weapon options, and Ork terrain (some re-used) this is a hefty box for many a 40K player. Now if, like us, you want to ply the game but don't need the box, then happily you can pick up the Kill Team Core Book and the Kill Team Compendium - which contains the rules for 19 different factions, plus how to use the new "Ploy" system in Kill Team missions. You can also get the Tac Ops Cards and the Killzone Essentials. Now if you do buy the box, then you may get one of the limited edition Kill Team: Octarius Metal Combat Gauge. If you're a dice fa, then get excited as there are dice for Death Korps of Krieg, the Ork Kommandos, Adeptus Astartes (featuring the old Angels of Death icon) and the forces of Chaos.
In books we have the new Helwinter Gate in hardback, the Covens of Blood in paperback, and the latest version of the fan-favourite The Chronicles of Malus Darkblade: Volume One in paperback.
It's also a White Dwarf week with Issue 467.

## For Australian and New Zealand hobbyists, the distribution point in this neck of the woods stays closed (and by the sounds of today will do for some time) but stockists like Mighty Ape and Emerald Hobbies amongst others can sort you out ##
