Alright, let me break this down for you as if we’re both hyped up for the release of Kill Team: Hivestorm—because honestly, who wouldn’t be excited about new kill teams and a fresh edition of Kill Team?!
First off, Kill Team: Hivestorm is dropping this Saturday (which is basically “Christmas” for us wargamers), and if you’ve pre-ordered it, expect it to land on your doorstep like a drop pod from orbit—super cool imagery, right? The big headliner here is the two new kill teams we’re getting: the Tempestus Aquilons and Vespid Stingwings.
33 total kill teams are ready to roll with this new edition. That’s not just the two in Hivestorm, but a bunch of others, including ones that have been introduced through White Dwarf. And get this: the rules for every single one of them are FREE to download. You just grab your box, scan the QR code, and bam—straight to the rules. This is amazing because it means no need to carry around a ton of books or printouts.
Even better, they’ve gone ahead and made universal equipment rules, so all your tactical tools like ladders, grenades, barricades—you name it—are now streamlined and updated. This means all the stuff we use to kit out our operatives is fully integrated with the new edition’s systems. No more guessing or having to house-rule your way around the terrain!
And let’s talk about the Kill Team app—this is a godsend. The app isn’t just some companion piece, it’s a full-on rules reference tool. Whether you’re a veteran or just dipping your toes in the Kill Team waters, this thing is going to be a lifesaver for keeping track of everything. At launch, you can download the Kill Team Lite Rules and, again, all those kill teams we just talked about. The best part? It’s free, and it’s available on both iOS and Android. Plus, they didn’t skimp on accessibility—you can switch languages and even print and share stuff right from the app. It’s a sweet deal.
In a nutshell, this is a HUGE quality-of-life upgrade for the game. Everything is more streamlined, accessible, and, let’s be real, just way more fun. It’s like the devs took a look at what was bogging players down and fixed it all in one go. So yeah, Hivestorm isn’t just a box of new models, it’s a whole new experience for the game. I can’t wait to see how these teams shake things up on the battlefield!
