Watch a badass cinematic for the new Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team

[Animous]

If you want to dip your toes in the world of tabletop Warhammer 40,000 but you're not up for buying and painting a complete Warhammer army, the skirmish-scale spin-off Kill Team is an excellent alternative. As revealed in the action-packed cinematic trailer above and expanded on in the latest Warhammer Preview livestream, Kill Team is about to get a refresh with new rules and a new boxed set.

Kill Team: Octarius will come with plastic miniatures for the two squads you can see brutally murdering each other to bits in that trailer, the Death Korps of Krieg (Imperial veterans in gas masks) and Ork Kommandos (ork specialists who are a bit sneakier than usual), as well as terrain representing ork ruins. The box also comes with a 30" by 22" gameboard, dice, combat gauges and tokens, 54 tactical ops cards, and two rulebooks.

As for how the rules are changing, that's yet to be revealed. It's expected that Kill Team will move further away from Warhammer 40,000's rules and closer to Games Workshop's other skirmish wargame, Age of Sigmar: Warcry, though it probably won't quite as simplified as that.
