Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Killzone Octarius (Scenery Set)

Product Information

While there is a list of universal actions within the book, some operatives and factions also have unique actions only they can perform – and I imagine this will be expanded further in later supplements. Evasion: If the Defender is currently undertaking the Extraction or Breakout Spec Op, then at the end of the battle, if at least half of their operatives escaped the ambush, reduce by 1 the number of games required to complete that Spec Op’s Operation 1. While previous editions of Kill Team were based heavily on 40k and existed almost as a “40k-lite”, the new edition of the game contained within the Kill Team Octarius box is an entirely new system and a refreshing new way of allowing you to fight skirmish combat in the 41st Millenium.

will let you upgrade a normal hit to a critical any time you retain more than one normal hit, and Krump ‘Em! At the end of the battle, if you control one or more Refined Fuel objective markers, you score an additional 3VPs. The Spec Ops rules for Veteran Guardsmen and Kommandos here give you Battle Honours that the squads can earn, Rare Equipment they can be outfitted with, Assets to add to your Base of Operations, Requisitions for your team, and two Spec Ops you can choose for your team. I already have units for my first kill team, Warpcoven which is too complex for my small newbie brain, and Gellerpox which seems straightforward enough and is super fun to paint so far!In that sense, we might see new kill teams that look more like Underworld warbands than new units for 40k. My favorite of these is Evac Inbound, which sees one team fighting a desperate battle to fend off enemy forces until reinforcements can arrive. Strategic Ploys are army unique and give you some cool bonuses – for example adding 1 to save rolls for that turn. In the meantime, if the Confidant isn’t the Leader, it can choose a friendly model to activate after it does, letting you line up key actions in sequence with your team. An enemy commander is in the area to personally oversee the final stages of preparation for an as-yet unknown plan.

As a massive fan of the Death Korps of Krieg, I couldn’t wait to get these guys built and painting as soon as possible and I have to say they are absolutely outstanding models. Next up in the box we have something that people have been wanting for a very long time – plastic Death Korps of Krieg! Operational freedom granted - if opportunity presents itself, destroy anything else of value you can find. MISSION OBJECTIVEEach time a friendly operative performs the Recon Vantage Point action, you score a number of VPs depending on which Vantage Point was reconnoitred by your forces, as shown below (to a maximum of 6VPs per player per Turning Point).Engagement Range is mutual, therefore operatives are within each other’s Engagement Range if one of them is Visible to and within of the other.

Finally we get Spec Ops which is the Narrative Play module for Kill Team and where I feel the game is at it’s strongest. These effects may not be enough to win outright against dedicated melee specialists, but the ability to negate two normal hits per fight will keep them in the fight longer. Finally we come to Spec Ops, which are like mini narrative arcs for your Kill Team to work through as you run them in a campaign.Each action also has different costs – for example a “Normal Move” costs 1AP but a “Fall Back” costs 2AP making it important to weigh up what each operative can do with the limited pool of AP they have (While most units have 2AP this can be higher or lower depending on the unit! As you take turns doing this your pool of dice will shrink as the fight goes on, so seeing an opponent with lots of hits you may decide to simply use your single hit to do some damage, or instead if you re badly wounded you might use your hits to reduce the damage coming into you. This one has a very “Orky” design, but I imagine just like with the previous editions of the game that we will see Kill Zone boxes with themed designs and terrain.

On the other hand, every shot it soaks up is one that’s not into your boyz, so that’s a job well done. Each time this operative ascends or descends a terrain feature while climbing, the first vertical distance of up to 3 it travels are counted as for that climb. In the Killzones of Octarius, teams of specialist soldiers skirmish between ramshackle Ork structures.This is where Kill Team comes in – a way of playing games of Warhammer 40,000 at a much smaller scale but with a greater level of detail. Once they have done so, the Attacker’s Concealed Deployment markers are all turned face up and replaced with the corresponding operative. If the Defender scores 3 or more VPs from Security Tac Ops during this battle, they gain 1 additional Requisition point.
