A new Kill Team Starter set bundle was just confirmed by Games Workshop. Looks like this new starter set built off some old Kill Team releases.
Warhammer Community revealed a new Kill Team starter set at Warhammer World. This new set was built off of smaller Kill Team boxes by the looks of it. Check out the latest.
Latest Kill Team Starter Set
When we released the original Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team Starter Set, it proved to be incredibly popular. After all, not only is the game great, but the box had loads of miniatures (two kill teams, no less!), terrain and a gameboard. That being the case, we thought we’d make another one to help new players to get started, but with two different kill teams and terrain. It’s not only a great way to get into the game, but it’s perfect for splitting with one of your friends!
If you’re already a fan of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team, fear not – we think the rules are awesome, so haven’t changed a thing! The new box features a kill team of Space Marine Reivers (the Fangs of Ulfrich) pitted against the Fire Warriors of the T’au Empire (Advance Team Starpulse) across the amazing Sector Mechanicus terrain.
Previous releases from last year, these two Kill Teams both sold for $60 including models and terrain.
Fangs of Ulfrich
Advance Team Starpulse
This set is coming with two pre-existing Kill Teams essentially packed into one box. The Starpulse trench terrain is missing in the new starter set. But at least the box set is coming with a play mat to fold out.
As far as the rest of the terrain kits go, it looks like a Sector Mechanicus Furnace ($50), an Alchomite stack (from the Space Wolves Kill Team box), and some other random scaffolding pieces. We don’t know the pricing on this box set just yet. However, it looks like it’ll be another option for new players to split and jump into the game.
At first glance, it looks like this new Starter may not be as much of a value as the first one from last year that included the new Sector terrain sets.
Kill Team Core Game $130 (2018)
Here was the contents and the values for the previous one:
- Kill Team Core Manual-$40
- Squad of 10 Skitarii (Rangers or Vanguard) – $40
- Squad of 5 Genestealer Acolyte Hybrids –$40
- Kill Team Cards –$15 ea. (minus 15 blank cards)
- Varied set of Imperial Terrain – ~$100
Total Value Estimate: $253 plus other components
