Keeping with the "cool new miniatures for the Imperium" theme, the badass Kasrkin are also available for you to snap up and add into the mix. Armed with the hotshot lasguns and kitted out for some of the most gruelling warzones, these elite veterans of the Astra Militarum are no doubt going to find their way into quite a few armies. Get your miniatures ready for Boarding Actions with this set of 60 bases sculpted to look like the grated metal found in voidships, and 54 decorative elements to add grilles, gantries, and bits of hardware. The Heavy Gunner can choose between two guns (in addition to his Array of Blades): The Dark Lance takes up a Darklight slot in your kill team roster, but it does 6 normal damage and 7 critical damage and has Armour Penetration 2– but it takes 2 Action Points to even fire it. This month’s issue of White Dwarf is a Boarding Actions bonanza, containing new rules for this exciting new Warhammer 40,000 format. There’s information on Boarding Pods, Void Sieges, and Iron Warriors Bronzewrought Boarding Patrols. Alongside that, there’s a Battle Report in which the World Eaters attempt to free Khârn the Betrayer from a voidship, loads of Gloomspite Gitz content for Warcry, and all the usual articles and features to cover every angle of Warhammer.* Forge World also has some treats for Horus Heresy players with two new upgrade sets for two Legions, all available in resin.

Old-school jet bikes from 30k hit the stage, and they look pretty sweet. Since there isn’t much iconography, you can probably use them in any legion! These Jetbikes will be in plastic which is quite nice! Blooded Kill Team – brand new Traitor Guard kill team only available in this box – our guide is on its way.I like that the armour design has moved from essentially being Judge Dredd to something a little more baroque and medieval. It matches up quite nicely with the style seen in the armour of the Adepta Sororitas. Based on the prices of the Kill Team: Phobos Strike Team, Kill Team: Corsair Voidscarred, Kill Team: Novitiates, Kill Team: Pathfinders and Kill Team: Kommandos. The Askurgan Trueblades are monastic Soulblight vampires who preach restraint and self-denial. They have journeyed to the ruins of Talaxis deep in the heart of the Gnarlwood in search of an ancient master. Here they are set upon by the Claws of Karanak, frenzied cultists who act more like beasts than humans. As such, there’s been something of a theme with the terrain in the recent Kill Team boxes. See, dear readers, the new way to play Kill Team is to sic your teams on each other in the randomised and tightly-wound corridors of said Space Hulk; Gallowdark. So, the box provides you with everything you need to make said corridors.

The Blooded are an amazing evil twin to the Veteran Guardsmen team of the original Octarius box, and the Phobos team is sort of a blend between how teams were done in the Compendium book and how they’ve been done in the expansions (you can even take models in the Phobos team that aren’t in this expansion set!). Killzones (Terrain Sets) for Kill Team Killzone Upgrade: Gallowfall With this review, the Wargear section – that is the section we dedicate to cards, tokens, rulers, or any other bits that you need to gedt you playing – will be a bit short. There’s only one entry here this time. Double-sided Game Board This book has rules for most of the 40k factions, but beware that much of it has been replaced by expansions or White Dwarf articles. The Archsybarite is the Leader of the Hand of the Archon kill team, and he has four different weapon loadouts to choose from: Blast Pistol and Venom Blade, Splinter Pistol and Venom Blade, Splinter Pistol and Agoniser, Splinter Pistol and Power Weapon, and Splinter Rifle and Array of Blades. The Imperial Navy Breacher teams specialise in ship-to-ship boarding actions, armed with gear to give them the edge in close-quarters combat. There’s a C.A.T. Unit to scout ahead, and one of the guys even has a shield that looks like a door – that’s some real commitment to the vibe. Most troopers can be built with combat shotguns, and there are free rules to use this unit in games of Warhammer 40,000.double-sided game board and scenery for Killzone Nachmund. This is some pretty cool Sector Mechanicus stuff with huge plasma reactors and a very detailed crane, which makes for a very different experience from the previous two Killzones (there’s way fewer walls here). Whilst very functional (and quite well designed, as you can assemble, disassemble, and re-organise for your needs from game to game), walls don’t necessarily make for the most exciting bits of terrain to paint – and we are foremost painters here at FauxHammer.com.

Led by an obsessive Cryptek and supported by a loyal Apprentek, the Hierotek Circle is a band of Necrons who undertake inscrutable operations among the stars. This set contains several new miniatures, a Cryptek, and an upgrade sprue for the existing Deathmarks kit. With these two books (above and below), you've got all the extra rules that you need for running these Kill Teams if you missed out on the boxed sets. Shadowvaults covers the Necrons and the Kasrkin and Into The Dark explores the Kroot and the Imperial Navy Breachers.Si: Definitely. What’s more, the entire galaxy is their jurisdiction, so you’d better be on best behaviour! In the game, the Hand of the Archon is a slowly rising tide of torture and horror, as they become stronger the more enemy operatives they incapacitate. The Splinter Pistol also hits on a 2+, but it has 2 normal and 4 critical damage and the Lethal 5+ Special Rule, which is great for fishing for that 4 critical damage.

The rules for this Kill Team can be found in the Chalnath book. Read our guide for these high-tech hunters here. Legionary If you roll a 3 or more (including the modifiers described above), the operative rolled for suffers 2 mortal wounds at the end of each Turning Point, and it’s always treated as being Injured. Suffering 2 mortal wounds each Turning Point will make most enemy operatives drop dead if the grenade is thrown early in the game, so make sure that happens – and that it doesn’t happen to any of your friendly operative’s caught in its area of effect! Kabalite Elixicant (1 per kill team) Arbites Chirurgant - The standard medic comes with the same armament and stats as the Vigilants, but can heal nearby Arbites and once per turning point, stop a nearby friendly unit from being incapacitated. Much of this torture is carried out within the Drukhari city Commorragh on prisoners taken there by the main Drukhari military force, the Kabals. The Kabals are led by Archons, and those Kabalites who prove themselves worthy through savagery and cruelty can become part of Hand of the Archon kill teams.It’s great to see the Arbites getting modern sculpts (with plenty of accessories). I’m excited to dive into the kit – and we will follow up after we figure out what we can do with it!
