The Product Offer:
The Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team Starter Set is the perfect way to get into games of Skirmish Combat in the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium.
Players take control of small elite squads of warriors undertaking perilous, yet strategically important, missions behind enemy lines, whose impact on the wider war zone could mean the difference between great victories, or the death of thousands across a myriad of far-flung battlefields.
Although set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, Kill Team is an entirely separate game with a different gaming experience and bespoke rules set. This set contains everything that customers need into to begin their Kill Team journey, containing 22 Citadel Miniatures comprising two complete Kill Teams: 10 Veteran Guardsmen from the Death Korps of Krieg Regiment and 10 Orks Kommandos accompanied by an additional Kommando Grot and Bomb Squig.
The set also includes two softback books; a 96-page condensed Core Rules book which provides all the rules players need to have access to in order to play games of Kill Team and 56-page Recruit Edition book, which provides a series of 4 linked tutorial Missions which teaches your customers how to play along with the basic rules for the miniatures in the set.
The set also includes all the tokens, gauges, templates, terrain and a gaming mat needed to play, all offered together at a great added value price point (approximately 104% added value).

Depending on whether your customers are brand new to the Warhammer hobby looking to pick up a new Skirmish game, or a seasoned Warhammer 40,000 or Kill Team veteran, there are a number of other products that tie up with the Starter Set.
Those wanting to dive into the two factions in the Starter Set may want to pick up the Kill Team: Octarius (Book), which provides a host of additional Spec Ops rules for the Veteran Guardsmen and Kommandos Kill Teams contained in the set, as well the Shadow Operations: Octarius War Mission Pack, providing a suite of narratively themed Missions for your customers to play through.
Those interested in more terrain suitable for Kill team (and Warhammer 40,000) may look at the Killzone Octarius terrain set, which provides customers with a host of Ork-themed terrain, over which to fight their games, making their gaming experience even more immersive. It additionally also includes a sturdy gaming board, instead of a playing mat, ensuring the battlefield will survive to stand witness to the death of hundreds of operatives on the field of battle.
Customers wanting to explore further a field, or with a pre-existing Warhammer 40,000 collection of miniatures, will want to pick up the Kill Team Compendium which contains rules for over 170 unit types from 19 different factions for use in games of Kill Team.
Please note, the condensed version of the Core Rules in the Starter Set contains all the rules from the Core Book but does not contain any background information. Customer’s who want to have access to this expanded background section (around 40 pages) may want to consider picking up the full Kill Team Core Book as well.
