Kill Team is a skirmish game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Players command individual operatives with their own weapons, equipment and abilities rather than moving full Warhammer 40,000 units around the table. Team size and operative choices come from each team’s rules, so there is no single model count that applies to every faction.
Movement, cover and lines of sight are central to games fought around buildings, walkways, barricades and enclosed spaces. Killzones including Gallowdark, Volkus and Bheta-Decima provide different environments with their own terrain rules. Team kits, terrain sets and starter boxes contain different combinations of miniatures and gaming components. Kill Team also uses its own core rules rather than the standard Warhammer 40,000 unit profiles. That makes the team rules, mission material and relevant edition important parts of a playable collection, especially when older boxed sets and newer miniatures are being used together.
