Let’s dive in!
WAS IST EIN KILL TEAM?
Kill Team is a skirmish-level tabletop game, created by Games Workshop, that takes place in their landmark Warhammer 40,000 universe. The game centers around small-scale military operations, where each player controls a squad, or “kill team”, of individuals. Your kill team could be a squad of Space Marines dispatched by the Emperor himself, a band of cunning Eldar, or even a swarm of relentless Tyranids.
Kill Team focuses on the individuality and personal development of each squad member, making for a more immersive and personable gaming experience. If you’ve heard of Warhammer 40,000, you can consider Kill Team as its more intimate, quick-paced cousin – less about sweeping battles and more about dynamic, tactical skirmishes.
