++ Delivery Fulfillment on the Week-of 05/10/24 ++
This week sees the next edition of Kill Team released - which is noteable for a few things: new packaging, a price increase on exisiting Kill Teams, and the return of terrain in the mission boxes. Games Workshop made a big deal of the last few mission boxes not having terrain in the last edition, so could this be a change to that decision or is this just the case for the launch box? All will be revealed in the fullness of time!
We launch this new edition of Kill Team with Kill Team: Hivestorm a new mission set and miniatures, featuring the new Killzone: Volkus terrain. As with all Kill Team sets, Hivestorm boasts two new Kill Teams - the Imperial Tempestus Aquilons and Tau allies, the Vespid Stingwings. Both of these teams can either be built as Operatives for Kill Team or as standard infantry for their faction. Both of these Kill Teams are noteable in their own way - the Vespid as it's the first time we've had Vespid in plastic and they're sporting a more wasp-like design, and the Tempestus Aquilons as it's the first time we have had Imperial Guard with jump packs since the launch of Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader in 1987 - more specifically the Compendium in 1988 - (excluding the Elysian Jump Troops from Forge World). If you order this box from the Warhammer online store, you will also get the new Wound Counter Bases, which we can assume is GW testing the waters on a mechanic that was being used years ago in Dust Tactics and other games. To go with the launch box, there's also the new Kill Team: Core Book available for those who want to start the new edition without a Hivestorm purchase. This includes all the rules you need to play, and rules around the only currently offical environments supported in this editon of Kill Team; Volkus, Bheta-Decima, and Gallowdark. There's also the Kill Team: Approved Operations Card Pack 2024 and the Kill Team: Equipment Pack. These last three items are all in Kill Team: Hivestorm, so it's great to be able to get them separately without having to mortgage the cat to buy Hivestorm.
Also availble this week are a selction of Kill Teams, repackaged with a sheet of tokens for enhanced gameplay. The Kill Teams include the Corsair Voidscarred, Drukhari Mandrakes, Nemesis Claw, Ork Kommandos, Space Marine Scout Squad, Hernkyn Yaegirs, Blooded, and the Brood Brothers. As stated previously, there is a price hike on these, so if you're just after the minis, hunt around your local independent stores for older stock. Of course we need each of these Kill Teams to have Data Cards, so we have those for the Corsair Voidscarred, Drukhari Mandrakes, Nemesis Claw, Ork Kommandos, Space Marine Scout Squad, Hernkyn Yaegirs, Blooded, and the Brood Brothers as well.
With the Core Rulebook currently only supporting three environments, we have a re-release of those too, with Killzone: Bheta-Decima and Killzone: Gallowdark, but it's just the terrain and playmat in each box.
Keep in mind that Kill Team is a two week pre-order window

Now we know a weekend can't go by without the Community crying out "Where's the merchandise that will clutter my shelves and gather dust?" - well fear not, friend - we have the next wave of Tomy Plushes. From next weekend you can choose from a Watcher in the Dark, Servo Skull, Nurgling, Ripper, and a Purple Sun of Xereus. Joy abounds!
