Incendiary Shells [2 EP] – In effect limited to being taken once as it can only be taken by your Trench Sweeper. The Trench Sweeper may choose to fire these shells instead of its standard shotgun profile. It does so the NORMAL damage on its weapon is reduced by 1, and gains the 1 inch Blast special rule. An incredibly niche choice, but just more value added to one of the better operatives on your team. This multipart plastic kit allows you to build 10 Traitor Guard, plus a Traitor Enforcer and his Traitor Ogryn. These miniatures can be used as Blooded operatives in games of Kill Team, or fielded with Chaos Space Marines armies in games of Warhammer 40,000. This kit includes a huge variety of weapons, heads, and accessories, allowing you to assemble a truly unique squad of ragged rebels and build Traitor Troopers as specialists for your Kill Team – such as the Sharpshooter, Brimstone Grenadier, Trench Sweeper, and more. From tiny teams of elite operatives fighting shadow wars around the galaxy, we turn to conflict on a rather larger scale as yet more Chaos Knights emerge into the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium, hooting, hollering, and generally carrying on.

Deadly Marksman– While The Blooded don’t specialize in ranged combat this could be given to the SharpShooter who never has to leave Conceal, and is mobile enough to avoid enemy attempts to run him down once he has made a kill. If you prefer to field your Legion in power armour, these two upgrade sets are for you. While they were originally designed for Mark II and Mark IV armours, they can also be easily used with Mark V and Mark III kits. Death Guard Mark III Torsos Warpcoven, mighty Sorcerers of the Thousand Sons and their gathered thralls, both mutant and Rubric And then finally we have the LVO 2023 Championships, an 87-player, 7-round event that took place in Las Vegas on January 28th. In contrast to our last two events, this event featured only Open terrain, so players did not have to build for or worry about Gallowdark play: This is just the beginning of a new season of Kill Team – there’s loads more to come in the short and medium term. Elucidian StarstridersHeading over to England, let’s take a look at the LWG Season 1 event, which had 36 players and was the country’s biggest event this year, taking place entirely on closed/Gallowdark terrain:

I think the S tier is self explanatory; Navy and intercessors are the best and most versatile Kill teams in the game with very few (or no bad) matchups. Elucidian Starstriders enjoy the surprise effect and have many tools to deal with almost everything (although they suffer against MEQ). This box is a great way to get into Kill Team for anyone new to the game – grab it and the Core Book and you’re good to go. For more experienced skirmishers, Moroch is perfect for expanding your games with new miniatures, missions, terrain, and more. TheChirurgeon: The real value of these units is that you have another cheap ObSec option that sits between Cultists and Chaos Space Marines, with significantly more firepower and durability than the former. At 6/7 Leadership they’re also less likely to flee or kill you on Dread Tests and for 10 points more getting a unit that can actually ruin someone’s day with a meltagun and plasma gun is pretty solid. This gives Chaos Space Marines four solid Troops choices in their games, and that’s pretty cool. The operative would still count as performing the action for all rules purposes. For example, if it performed it during its activation, it would not be able to perform the action again during that activation. At first glance, this looks like the obligatory medic specialist. However this is chaos, so you should know better. Instead the Corpseman is a combination buffer and healer who can use his Stimms (1 APL) ability to produce one of three different effects:Chem-Breather [1 EP] – Identical in effect to the Wyrmblade Photo-Visors, makes operatives immune to Stun and negative APL modifiers. With this kit, you can assemble a formidable force of 10 Traitor Guard, accompanied by a Traitor Enforcer and his loyal Traitor Ogryn. These miniatures can serve as Blooded operatives in thrilling games of Kill Team or join the ranks of Chaos Space Marines in epic battles of Warhammer 40,000. The kit provides an extensive selection of weapons, heads, and accessories, granting you the opportunity to create a truly unique squad of ragged rebels. Customize your Traitor Troopers as specialists for your Kill Team, such as the deadly Sharpshooter, versatile Brimstone Grenadier, or relentless Trench Sweeper, among many others. Unleash the might of the Traitor Guard and revel in their ruthless pursuit of dark triumph. What’s in the Kill Team: Blooded box
