Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team – Hivestorm (2024)

About this game

The stakes just got higher! Alien invaders seek to disable the fearsome defences of the Imperial world of Volkus. Descending from the void in the dark of night, Vespid Stingwing kill teams strike at the gigantic gun that protects the capital’s hive city. Responding swiftly to the threat, elit Tempestus Aquilons soar to battle and launch a counterattack intended to secure the Great Gun and drive off the insectile raiders. Kill Team: Hivestorm is the ideal way to launch into the new edition of Kill Team! Command elite kill teams of formidable Tempestus Scions or insectoid Vespid Stingwings to victory in the hostile streets and deadly rooftops of Volkus – a vital Hive City in the Chalnath Expanse. As well as two complete kill teams of brand-new plastic miniatures, this massive boxed set contains everything you need to enter the Killzone – from the full Kill Team: Core Book, tokens, and dice to a game board, war-torn urban terrain, and universal equipment. This box also contains the Approved Operations card pack, keeping your games balanced and competitive with additional victory conditions and mission maps for your Killzone. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 2. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 4.0/5 this is a heavy game — read the rulebook before people arrive.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
