Kill Team: Hivestorm has just been unveiled, and it’s bringing a brand-new edition of the intense skirmish game we all love. If you’re ready to take command in the battle for Volkus, you’re in for a treat with this explosive new boxed set. Let’s break down what’s coming with this release.
Tempestus Aquilons
First up, we have the Tempestus Aquilons, elite drop troopers who specialize in high-risk operations. These soldiers thunder into battle on grav-chutes, landing right in the heart of the enemy forces. Equipped with hot-shot lascarbines and other close-combat weapons like melta and plasma carbines, they’re trained for intense close-quarters combat. Their mission? To take down the T’au Empire’s best in the war-torn cityscapes of Volkus.
Vespid Stingwings
On the other side, the T’au Empire has deployed the Vespid Stingwings, a deadly group of alien auxiliaries. Armed with neutron blasters and backed by Earth Caste technology, these winged warriors are perfect for long-term missions without the need for resupply. The Stingwings are known for their stealth and the use of advanced tech like ghost rigs, making them formidable opponents for the Aquilons.
The Battlefield: Killzone Volkus
The battle takes place on Volkus, an Imperial world filled with sprawling hive cities and towering orbital defenses. The terrain is littered with multi-leveled ruins, providing plenty of verticality for aerial units like the Aquilons and Stingwings. This set includes 14 pieces of terrain that replicate the chaotic environments of Volkus, offering both heavy and light cover for your kill teams to navigate.
Core Book and Hivestorm Dossier
This new edition of Kill Team features an entirely rewritten Core Book, with updated rules that are more streamlined and easier to understand. The Hivestorm Dossier is your go-to guide for the specifics of the Aquilon and Stingwing kill teams, complete with missions, equipment rules, and the lore behind the conflict on Volkus.
Upgrades and Accessories
Kill Team: Hivestorm isn’t just about new rules and miniatures—it also includes a ton of physical assets like redesigned barricades, barbed wire obstacles, and other tactical elements. The set comes with plastic range markers and a hefty collection of 147 tokens to help you keep track of everything on the battlefield.

This is just the beginning. With new Datacards and additional updates on the way, there’s plenty more to explore in this new edition of Kill Team. Keep an eye on Warhammer Community for more details and upcoming releases.
