Deathwatch strike as Necrons rise again in 40k’s Kill Team: Tomb World; packed with 31 miniatures, new terrain, and Close Quarters rules!
Kill Team: Tomb World is bringing Necrons and Deathwatch back into the limelight, with a new box packed full of miniatures, terrain, and lore-rich missions.
Let’s break down what’s inside and why this kit is worth your attention.
Kill Team Tomb World:
The Deathwatch are back in business, and the Necrons aren’t going to like it. This isn’t just another skirmish set; it’s a full-on Deathwatch strike force landing right in your hobby backlog.
If you’re ready to send elite operatives into ancient tombs crawling with skeletal machines, this one deserves a spot on your table, or at least in your growing pile of shame.
Deathwatch: The Xenos-Slaying Specialists
The Deathwatch Kill Team is the poster child for flexibility. In this box, you’ll pick five operatives from 11 different options, each one built to handle a specific battlefield role.
The versatility packed into this unit is unmatched, and the kit gives you 10 miniatures to customize your loadouts.
And yes, you get plenty of iconic Deathwatch shoulder pads for that classic black-armor look.
Necron Defenders: The Canoptek Circle Strikes Back
You’re not getting a free run at this tomb. The Necrons come loaded with their own specialized Canoptek Circle kill team, including:
- Tomb Crawlers armed with heavy weapons (and some wild dimensional banishment tricks)
- Macrocyte Warriors that respawn endlessly unless you keep their numbers in check
And running the show is a sinister Cryptek Geomancer, who’d rather rebuild walls around your operatives than waste resources raising Necron Warriors.
Close Quarters Combat Returns
Kill Team: Tomb World revives the close-quarters action style that made Into the Dark and Gallowdark so fun to play. The new Necron-themed killzone is fully modular, with regenerating walls, teleportation pads, and eerie alcoves where dormant Necron Warriors snooze until it’s time to wake up and ruin your day.
That’s not all; the set includes terrain elements like shimmering portals and a host of thematic features, perfect for customizing your Warhammer 40k kill zone board.
Full List of Miniatures for Even More Value
This box isn’t light on plastic. You’re getting:
- 10 Necron Warriors
- 3 Scarab Swarms
- 10 Deathwatch operatives
- Full Canoptek Circle options
That’s 31 miniatures before you even get to the terrain sprues, plenty of material for hobbyists who love building, painting, and kitbashing unique teams.
Lore and Narrative Goodness
The included Tomb World Dossier book is more than just a rulebook. It’s packed with background for both the Deathwatch and Necron forces, setting the stage for a clash in the haunted halls of Somneft.
The book introduces Kill Team Vaskovian vs Amhetra’s Cryptoretinue and adds extra mission cards and tokens, giving you plenty of tools for campaign play and narrative-driven games.
Final Thoughts: Should You Grab It?
If you’re a Warhammer 40k fan looking for a box that offers strong miniatures, thematic terrain, and deep narrative hooks, 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.
Whether you’re new to Kill Team or adding to your Warhammer 40k collection, this is a strong choice and a hobby project that’ll keep you busy.
