About this deal
Along side these there are two identical sets of cards with two different coloured backings – these are used to generate a bank of secondary objectives that are then drawn at the start of each game.
So, to recap, the Kill team: Octarius box set comes with just about everything you could ever need to set yourself up with an Ork Kommandos or DKoK Kill Team, and a few extra bits to ensure that your games of Kill Team can happen on an interesting battlefield.As you’d expect, the book is also filled with plenty of awesome artwork and pictures of world-class painted models. The miniatures included in the set are some of the best Citadel have ever produced, and will have painters’ jaws dropping with their stunning character and detail. Plus, you’ll get more tokens, cards, dice, and measurement tools than you can shake a trench shovel at .
Matched Play will, no doubt, quickly dominate the conversation after launch, as players debate how the Kommandos, Kriegers, and all the many army lists from the Compendium compare with one another competitively. Each player secretly makes a deck of 6 cards for their secondaries, then draw cards two at a time keeping one and discarding the other until they have a final 3 semi-randomised secondaries – again I love this as you will know what is in the deck, but you cannot guarantee what 3 you end up with. The Orks are spread across two sprues (well, one large sprue frame and one half the size again), and it’s common that all the components for a single Ork will be scattered across all three, so be prepared to have to hunt. Unlike games of 40K, in the new edition of Kill Team matches have three phases: Initiative, Strategic and Firefight.
This is the first proper release for the new edition of Kill Team, so there’s not really much else pertinent to this new edition available. As with all these releases, GW included a print of the box art to keep the spikey bits on the sprues form damaging any of the more fragile items included in the box beneath it.
