New Warhammer 40k Kill Team Pre-Order Releases
The latest Warhammer 40k Kill Team pre-orders are here, so it’s time to gear up for some intense close-quarters skirmishes in the 41st millennium.
Kill Team: Brutal and Cunning
Get ready for an explosive clash with the Wrecka Krew and their knack for blowing things to smithereens. Decked out in scrap armor, these Orks are as tough as they are rowdy. Their mission? Break into Hive Fissilicus and the Undermuzzle Barrens. But standing in their way are the Ratlings—sharp-eyed little abhumans with a knack for marksmanship and a habit of sneaking in snack breaks between shots.
This set has all the carnage you’d expect, featuring a Boss Nob, five Orks, and two Bomb Squigs squaring off against a pack of 10 Ratling operatives led by a Fixer and their trusty battlemutt. The bundle comes with everything you need for your battlefield, from bunkers and stockades to datacards and tokens. Oh, and 438 Ork transfers—because why stop at chaos when you can do it in style?
Killzone: Volkus
Bring the chaos into the shadowy cities of Massif Ballistus with the Volkus Killzone Urban Cityfight Terrain set. It’s packed with 14 terrain pieces, from sturdy buildings to ruins, along with a double-sided game board for your sneaky ops and street brawls. It’s a gritty, compact playground for all your tactical scheming.

The kit includes 10 miniatures with options for specialists like the Condemnor, Duellist, and Hospitaller, along with a unique token sheet and transfer decals for added flair.

Kill Team: Fellgor Ravagers and Datacards
For the Dark Gods, nothing says devotion like slaughter. The Fellgor Ravagers are a savage pack of 10 operatives, featuring unique options like the Shaman, Fluxbray, and Mangler. With tokens and datacards included, these chaos-worshipping raiders are ready to tear up the battlefield—literally.
Kill Team: Farstalker Kinband and Datacards

Add in underslung lascutters and irradiation engines, and smaller targets barely stand a chance. This box lets you build four of these siege-breaking behemoths, complete with two command terminals to use in Adeptus Titanicus.
Stalker Constructs
These cruel machines overwhelm their foes with sheer numbers, with Butcher and Archer Cohorts coordinating their assault while the Cyclops augments their effectiveness through cold, calculating data feeds.
