The 40k Kill Team Octarius Starter Set has arrived at the studio- check out Rob’s unboxing and thoughts on the new release!
We’re back unboxing the new big releases for the Orks and Death Korps of Krieg! Rob sees what it takes to get them ready for the tabletop, shows the size of the models, and tells you the GOTCHAS to be aware of when building them!
We are going to show you everything including the sprues, bits, and of course, the size. That way you can decide if this is worth your hard-earned hobby dollars.

This is the box we’ll be looking at today. Rob starts by looking at the value in the set, but if you want to see all the values, you can check that out here. Some of them are guesses until the minis come out by themselves.
What’s in the Box
You get a ton of sprues inside and this box is honestly really chunky! There are some nice posters inside which will fit into standard picture frames.
You also get the rule book, the companion book, dice, tokens, the cards, transfer sheets, and a hard card battle board.
The companion book has all the individual units and even the stuff for all the other factions until they get their own books.
Instructions & Sprues
The DKoK guys have so many posing options and so many weapons choices. It really gives you a ton of variety almost like a Necromunda release. You can build them all similarly if you want but they do give you a ton of options that seem to be very well thought out.
The Orks are similar where you can build them a ton of ways, they have a ton of weapon options and heads. So just be careful when building them because you have so many options. The only weird thing is that they seem to be hollow in the middle, we’ll see how that works.
You do get a decent amount of terrain that is actually super useful, but Rob probably isn’t going to build the terrain today.
The amount of bits you get in this is just insane. Each piece has great detail and there is just so much variety. It even looks like you could magnetize most of this.
Get The New Sci-Fi Ruler Miniature!
Just like with the Orks you get so many bits and they all look great for the DKoK. Plus with the accessory sprue, there’s a chance they could do this as two releases, one with all the bits and one for the regular squad.
Built Minis
These go together very easily and just look awesome! They really took the aesthetic of the resin guys and just made a few small changes, which we love.
All the versions just look amazing and when you get into the special weapons and such, they look even cooler. Rob is just really impressed by the designs on them.
The Orks may even be cooler than the DKoK! They just look so sweet and the detail is just everywhere. Even the proportions of everything seem perfect.
Every mini has its own feel and really just feels so Orky.
Not sure how much a silencer will help that gun, but it does look awesome.
Size Comparisons
The scale for the DKoK is perfect for the old guys, just a little in some areas.
The Orks are also a great scale. Where the regular Orks are smaller than a Primaris but the Nob is basically the same size.
