We intercepted this transmission (from the far future!) – what could it mean?

Looks like the newly promoted Chapter Master of the Raven Guard is ready to get back to the hunt in next week’s return to 40k skirmish battles.

40k Kill Team

Yep that’s right in addition to next week’s White Dwarf reboot for September, we will see a new skirmish game for Warhammer 40k straight outta the 4th Edition Rulebook (pg 214)!

Other details have gone viral at this point about what the new Core set will contain:

  • Space Marine Tactical Squad
  • Fire Warriors Squad
  • Small format 40k rule book
  • 32 page Kill Team rules supplement updated over to 6th Edition from the old 4th Edition rules.

I am sure we’ll hear more from Chapter Master Shrike, and his quarry soon! But for now catch up with the story from Mont’ka below:
