Games Workshop dropped a load of information from the sky as they have revealed a new edition of Kill Team. On sale in September for an October release, Kill Team: Hivestorm kicks off the new edition with loads up updates as well as new ways to play including PvP, CoOp, and even Solo play!

In the box the Tempestus Aquilons take on the Vespid Stingwings delivering two new units to the game as well as presumably Warhammer 40K.

Aquilons drop into battle with grav-chutes and equipped with carapace armor and armed primarily with hot-shit las weapons. But they can also be packed with specialists armed with melta carbines, plasma carbines, and other short ranged weapons.

Vespid Stingwings have grown in deployment by the T’au. Dedicated Shas’ui handlers connected to the Strain Leader’s communion helm by an MV44 Oversight Drone allow for complex strategies to be immediately relayed to the unit, leaving the job of executing their sabotage and assassination missions to the winged warriors in the field. They test experimental technology like neutron grenade launchers and ghost rigs that render Shaestrains invisible.

The box comes with terrain to do battle on the world of Volkus. 14 pieces of terrain make up Killzone: Volkus with strongholds, bombed-out ruins, and heavy and light rubble. The multi-leveled structures are perfect to exercise skills in the skies adding to the tactical challenges.

The new edition will initially feature two books. The Core Book has the rules which have been rewritten to be clearer and easier to read.

Kill Team: Hivestorm: Dossier contains the rules for Tempestus Aquilon and Vespid Stingwing kill teams, along with a wealth of missions, universal equipment rules, and background lore for both kill teams, the wider war on Volkus, and how life there warps around the Great Gun.

The box set features a softback edition of both books while a hardback version of the Core Book will be released later.

The game also features upgrades and accessories. The classic barricades return alongside barbed wire obstacles, ladders, smoke grenades, and plenty of other gubbins to try out, and this is also where you’ll find your plastic range markers – redesigned with an extremely Warhammer amount of skulls.

There’s also Approved Operations cards which collect the information you need to play fast-paced Matched Play games. There’s also Tac Ops, Mission cards, and map keys, along with handy leaflets laying out six different terrain layouts for Kill Zones Volkus, Gallowdark, and Bheta-Decima.

Both the Kill Team Upgrade: Equipment Pack and the Approved Operations Card Pack are included in Kill Team: Hivestorm, and will also be available separately at the time of release.

Finally, there’s two large pop-out token sheets featuring 147 tokens between them.
