Tons of single Warhammer 40k and Kill Team releases, along with terrain and the 2023 Annual, are hitting pre-orders next week!
Games Workshop has revealed all the new releases hitting pre-orders this Saturday, August 19th, at 1 PM Eastern time here in the States!
Next week brings back some classic Space Marines, while four complete Kill Teams – including the sought-after Inquisitorial Agents – get their standalone releases alongside a new Annual packed with expanded game content. That’s only the tip of the week’s iceberg, so let’s have a quick look at what’s coming next in the worlds of Warhammer.
All Kinds Of 40k & Kill Team Re-release Pre-Orders Revealed!
A handful of releases make up next week’s lineup spotlighting new 40k and Kill Team, all of which are reboxes or separate releases from larger box sets all the way back to 2019’s Shadowspear box. Here are all the details from Warhammer Community.
Space Marines Vanguard Task Force
Space Marines in Phobos armour are expert scouts, infiltrating enemy lines in lighter gear. The Vanguard Task Force sees a well-rounded group of these stealth specialists return to the field, with 10 Infiltrators, three Suppressors, and three Eliminators led by a capable Lieutenant in Phobos Armour – all amply equipped to cause havoc in the backfield.
Hailing all the back from Shadowspear, these guys once had their start collecting box that went away, but now they are back again as a seperate release!
Captain with Relic Shield and Lieutenant with Storm Shield
Two heroes from the legendary Indomitus box set are flying solo for the first time. The Captain with Relic Shield is an excellent leader for your Bladeguard Veterans, while the Lieutenant with Storm Shield adds a hero with a nifty Invulnerable Save.
The captain and Lieutenant from Indomitus will finally be available separately, which is great because these two are fantastic models.
Master of Possession
On the Chaos side, the Master of Possession returns for his own standalone release, bringing his mastery of daemonic spirits, and a backpack that’ll make Salamanders jealous, to the table.
Hailing all the back from Shadowspear as well, this guy was also once in a start collecting box that went away, but now he’s back again as a separate release!
Kill Team Annual 2023 – Season of the Gallowdark
The most recent season of Kill Team has come to a close, challenging your operatives to survive in the bowels of the nightmare space hulk Gallowdark. These expansions introduced a wide variety of missions taking advantage of the close confines and unique scenery pieces, and now all of this content is being collected together into a massive 296-page tome.
Kill Team Annual 2023 – Season of the Gallowdark includes all of the rules from the Into the Dark, Shadowvaults, Soulshackle, and Gallowfall expansions, with 10 full kill teams, 45 missions, five Killzone terrain expansions, and a gripping Spec Ops campaign to play through. It’s the ultimate companion for games of Kill Team in close confines.
As the only genuinely new release, this is the annual book for Kill Team, compiling all the rules you need to play in the current year of Kill Team!
Fellgor Ravagers
Space hulks are often infested with mutated beastmen braying dark prayers to the Chaos Gods, and these hordes are known as Fellgor Ravagers. Using scavenged equipment and sheer bestial fury, they revel in the close-ranged scrum of the Gallowdark, and will take on any mission to earn glory in the eyes of their patrons.
Coming from the Gallowdark box, these Chaos Beastmen are loved in fantasy, and thanks to this box can be played in a small capacity in 40k (Kill Team) too!
Hand of the Archon
Elite Kabalite agents known as the Hand of the Archon are an invaluable asset for any lord seeking dominion over Commorragh, as they’re among the few Drukhari who can be trusted to carry out independent missions without immediately betraying their superiors. Their combat skills make them a threat both at range and up close, while they speed around the killzone setting up deadly ambushes and pouncing on unsuspecting operatives.
Another re-packaged Kill Team, these Drukhari can now be picked up as their own box.
Hearthkyn Salvagers
Well equipped teams of Hearthkyn rummage through the drifting hulks of voidships for lost technology, valuables, and other prizes. These Kin possess a diverse array of skills to combat any trouble they might find aboard, from explosives experts to information analysts – and their powerful weapons make sure any would-be interruptions are swiftly dealt with.
As the other half of Gallowdark, you can also get the Votann minis which all have a ton of character and uniqueness to them.
Inquisitorial Agents
Despite the power afforded by their station, Inquisitors can rarely get much done without a dedicated team of acolytes and assistants to act as their eyes and ears in the field. These Inquisitorial Agents come from all walks of life and differ wildly from each other – represented by this kit having two very different build options for each of the four main operatives.
As another super unique set of Kill Team models, the Inquisitorial Agents can also be picked up as their own box set release this week.
Killzone Upgrade: Gallowfall
Stage your missions in the chaotic escape pod bays and medical theatres of a dying space hulk in Killzone Upgrade: Gallowfall, containing 18 pieces of terrain for your Gallowdark-themed Kill Team boards. These upgrades bring your killzone to life with all kinds of pods, beds, and gurneys, and are essential for running the Gallowfall series of missions in the new Kill Team Annual 2023 – Season of the Gallowdark.
Finally, this week’s releases for Kill Team wrap up with the terrain from Gallowdark if you wanted it but not both the teams.
