WHAT IS KILL TEAM?
Kill Team is a standalone escaramuza game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, developed by Games Workshop. It involves small-scale battles and a simpler gameplay system compared to the full-scale Warhammer 40,000 game. Players control a small squad of troops or a ‘Kill Team’, in engaging and story-driven skirmishes. These skirmishes can be a part of a larger story-driven campaign, making each battle consequential and intensely strategic.
The uniqueness of Kill Team rests on its emphasize on customization. Your squad can be made up of a variety of miniatures with differing skills, gear, and abilities, giving an individual narrative for each model, adding a rich depth to the game.
