Kill Team Tomb World: Unboxing & Review
The Kill Team Tomb World box is the kind of big that makes you clear your entire desk before cracking it open. Inside is terrain that looks like it was literally from a Necron Tomb World, and all the rulebook bits are tucked neatly in the middle.
On the Space Marine side, you’ll get sprues that let you build an entire Deathwatch-flavored squad with all the options. Plasma incinerators, frag cannons, storm shields, you name it.
What makes it even better is the flexibility baked into the kit. Heads and shoulder pads are totally interchangeable, so you can make each model stand out. That one small detail adds a ton of personality, and it means you can keep your squad from looking like an army of clones.
The Necron Canoptek Circle half has plenty to offer as well, from classic Warriors and scarabs to the standout Canoptek Circle models. The Geomancer and creepy crawlers are dripping with character, and they pair perfectly with the Tomb World terrain.
That Kill Team terrain itself deserves a good look, too. It’s modular, thematic, and looks like it could double as a proper 40k board if you’re willing to tinker with layouts.
We think when you stack it all together, the minis, the cards, the boards, you’re left with a box that feels like it’s punching above its price tag, even by Games Workshop standards.
New 40k Kill Team Tomb World Rules
Necrons Canoptek Circle 40k Rules:
New Tomb World rules include a trio of new metallic troublemakers. The Geomancer is your resident seismic gremlin, slowing enemies and blocking deep strikes like it is guarding the HOA.
Macrocytes try their best to be threatening, but mostly end up as pricey floating glowsticks that only really shine when supporting Wraiths.
The Tomb Crawlers, though, are the sleeper hit: cheap, stubborn, and great at bullying modifiers right off the battlefield. Think of them as the dependable beetle-tanks that make your whole army feel a little meaner.
Deathwatch Aquila Kill Team 40k Rules
The new Aquila Kill Team rules have every role at once. You get classic power armored vets mixed with chunky Gravis bruisers, all swinging an armory’s worth of exotic guns, flamers, frag cannons, and blades sharp enough to ruin anyone’s day.
They reroll hits against pretty much everything, tank incoming fire with smart toughness rules, and cram two Gravis lads into transports because the Codex says they can.
It is flexible, punchy, and very Deathwatch: a little extra, a little dramatic, and absolutely ready to delete whatever alien menace wanders into range.
Is The Kill Team Tomb World Box Worth it?
If you’re eyeing the terrain, or both the new minatures, this box is a solid grab. But if you’re not into the scenery or don’t mind waiting for the minis to drop later, maybe hold off. There’s decent value here, but nearly half of it is tied up in those chunky terrain pieces.
The real kicker is getting your hands on new models early.
Final Thoughts From Us: Kill Team Tomb World
If you’re a Warhammer 40k fan looking for a box that offers unique miniatures, thematic terrain, and deep narrative play, Kill Team: Tomb World delivers. The modular terrain and well-rounded Deathwatch and Necron forces make it a flexible set for competitive games and narrative campaigns alike.
All in all, it’s a strong Kill Team set packed with new release minis, but like every box in this line, a big chunk of the value lives in the terrain.
