WAS IST EIN KILL TEAM?
As a game of small-scale Scharmützel combat set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, Kill Team is all about intense firefights between small but powerful teams of warriors. Unlike the vast armies of its parent game, Warhammer 40,000, Kill Team focuses on smaller battles that are quick, thrilling, and tactical. The beauty of Kill Team’s gameplay lies in its depth and simplicity—perfect for beginners looking to dip their toes in Warhammer 40,000 without getting overwhelmed.
WIE ES FUNKTIONIERT/WIE MAN ANFÄNGT
Kill Team is played between two players. Each player commands a small squad of fighters—referred to as a “Kill Team”. The teams are chosen from a variety of Warhammer 40,000 factions, with each team member having unique abilities that can turn the tide of a battle.
First, you choose a mission by either rolling a dice or agreeing on one with your opponent. After this, you set up the battlefield, deploying your team and getting ready to take your first turns, which come in different phases: movement, shooting, fight, and morale. The game progresses with each player taking turns until a desired number of rounds are completed, or a player completes the mission’s objectives. Victory is often determined by the objectives outlined in the specific mission you are playing.
