Games Workshop just revealed all the contents and details for the new Kill Team 40k: Into the Dark box set; take a look at this.

The new Into the Dark Kill Team 40k box contains new Imperial Breachers and Kroot (24 models) along with some terrain and rules. All the models are pretty cool but if you just want the minis, you’ll probably have to wait a few months for them to come out on their own.

Warhammer Community unveiled the contents and what to expect in the box, let’s check it out!

GW Reveals Kill Team 40k : Into the Dark Contents

This box contains absolutely everything you need to get stuck in with the best sci-fi skirmish game in the galaxy, including rules, terrain, tokens, cards, combat gauges, dice, and 24 miniatures making up two complete Kill Teams.

This time, the small-squad action is heading into the dank, sprawling corridors of the Gallowdark. Lost in the warp for more than four millennia, this space hulk has suddenly returned to the material realm, attracting interested boarding parties from all over the galaxy.

This is obviously a paper mat, but in the preview, they did show a plastic floor. While the bulkheads are sweet, that probably would have made the set just so much better…

Here towards the end of the initial preview for Kill Team into the Dark, they also showed this picture which features what looks to be a plastic floor. Obviously, the one in the actual kit is not, so maybe this will be a set released a little later?

You get a massive collection of 54 individual parts in this box, and it’s almost infinitely expandable – not least when the next set arrives three months later, bringing with it a whole new set of compatible space hulk scenery!

There are a lot of walls and such, but again, it looks like you just get a paper mat with this one, which kind of stinks since there are no tiles. Also, they mention the next set is three months away, so if this isn’t for you, it’s not an insanely long wait. Perhaps we will see the plastic floor then?

There are two rulebooks contained within this set – a 144-page Kill Team Core Book containing the full rule set and everything you need to know to fight fast-paced skirmishes in the 41st Millennium (on solid ground or in the depths of space), and the Kill Team: Into the Dark rules manual.

This 120-page tome contains full killzone and Close Quarters rules* for scrapping in the confined spaces of the Gallowdark, as well as 18 missions – nine each for narrative and matched play – plus a new type of campaign, and all the rules and lore you’ll need to play the two teams you get in the box.

It’s always nice to get the core rules in these boxes (even if it raises the price) and the supplements so you can get even more scenarios in!

As with all the sets, you get a ton of accessories, and this is no different.

Imperial Navy Breachers

The breachers are really cool and have some interesting machines and servo skulls.

These bold boarders fight with combat shotguns, blast shields, and other breaching tools, perfect for getting up-close and personal. You get 12 miniatures in all – 10 Breachers, a C.A.T. unit, and a Gheistskull. Even dead Breachers don’t get to retire, not when their skulls are the perfect size for holding a compact explosive…

The Imperial Navy Armsmen are the fighting troops of the Imperial Navy. They garrison Navis Imperialis assets, anything from orbital stations to mighty battleships. Breachers are the elite – blunt instruments trained extensively in close-quarter fighting techniques, and the perfect Imperial candidates to make first contact with the denizens of the Gallowdark.

Farstalker Kinband

The Kroot are an ever-evolving race of carnivorous warriors known throughout the galaxy as savvy mercenaries, relying on their fighting skills and extraordinary fieldcraft. Their Farstalker Kinbands range far and wide across the galaxy, looking for fresh strains of beneficial genetic material to bring back to their Shapers.

It’s been quite some time since we’ve seen new Kroot, so this is just awesome! Let’s hope they get released before too long, so Tau players don’t have to buy this whole set for just the 12 models.

This particular group earned the right to loot the Gallowdark first – only to be left stranded when the Imperial Navy turned up and forced their warsphere to withdraw. Now they stalk the space hulk’s corridors, seeking a means of escape. There are 12 miniatures in all – 10 Kroot, including the keen-eyed Kroot Tracker and her bird – and two loyal Kroot Hounds.
