Alright, fellow gamers, brace yourselves because Kill Team is hitting us with a brand-new season, and it’s called “Salvation.” This box is bringing the hype with not one but two killer kill teams that go way back to Rogue Trader days – Space Marine Scouts and the legendary Striking Scorpions.
Striking Scorpions – The Stealthy Eldar Badasses Hold on to your helmets because the Striking Scorpions are back, and they’re looking sharper than ever. These Aeldari warriors are the fourth Aspect Shrine to get the plastic treatment in recent years, and man, they mean business. Think Howling Banshees, Dark Reapers, Shining Spears – now add Striking Scorpions to that elite list.
Old Meets New – A Legacy of Detail Let’s take a trip down memory lane. These new miniatures pay homage to the OG Striking Scorpions, dating all the way back to Rogue Trader. You’ll catch glimpses of those classic mandiblasters and the chevron-shaped greaves on their legs – it’s like nostalgia in a box. And don’t get me started on the attention to detail – bare heads, helmeted heads, they got it all.
Aspect Warriors with a Modern Twist Craftworld Aeldari are all about embracing their Khaine vibes, rocking symbolic war-aspect masks. But the Ynnari crew is like, “Helmets? Nah, we’re good without ’em.” This faction does battle without the headgear, giving us a fresh take on the classic Aeldari look. Kudos to Jes’s concept sketches for influencing those Exarch helmets and steering the design ship.
Exarch’s Arsenal of Doom The Exarch is packing serious heat – chainswords, twin chainswords with shuriken gauntlets, and the granddaddy of them all, the biting blade. And if you want to crumple some tough foes, unleash the Scorpion’s Claw, inspired by the legendary Arhra’s Bane wielded by Karandras, the big boss of the Striking Scorpions.
Techy Cables and Tactical Awesomeness Ever wonder about those dreadlock-like cables on their helmets? They’re not just there to look cool; they’re advanced sensor suites. These babies keep the Aspect Warriors dialed into every minor change in the battlefield – talk about tactical advantage. And each Striking Scorpion gets a shuriken pistol with a scope linked to their suit. It’s like watching the battlefield through your weapon – high-tech and deadly.
Pre-order Weekend Alert Now, here’s the scoop – Kill Team: Salvation is up for pre-order this weekend, and it packs a punch with 10 Striking Scorpions. That’s enough to beef up your Warhammer 40,000 squad or assemble a deadly Blades of Khaine kill team entirely made of these snippy skirmishers. It’s time to dive into the battle, folks!
