What is Warhammer 40k Kill Team?

model of Kill Team Operative

Warhammer 40k is a tabletop wargame, in which you control armies of customized minature soldiers in large scale battles. These soldiers usually have a science fiction aesthetic based on the universe of Warhammer 40k. Kill Team is a smaller scale version of Warhammer 40k, where you control a smaller group of specialist units in a skirmish style battle. Whichever group you choose to play is your Kill Team, and each Kill Team has its own strengths and weaknesses. The game can be played with 1-4 players, although it is most often played between 2 players.

My Kill Team:

The Kill Team I use the most is the Hernkin Yaegirs! They're a scouting party of space dwarves, with some mechanical bretheren built to assist them!

How to get into the hobby?

I would recommend shopping for supplies on Amazon rather than the official Warhammer website. Amazon is much cheaper on average. Here are the cost estimates of everything you need to get into Warhammer Kill Teams:

Item Cost
Kill Team starter set (essential for beginners) $100
Craft supplies (essential) $20
Kill team core rulebook (optional but recommended) $55
Paints (optional) $20
Additional kill team (optional) $60-$80
A friend to play it with (optional but recommended) Priceless

My WIP Teams:

I am still quite new to Warhammer Kill Teams, so I have several unfinished projects that I am working on. Here are the projects I'm working on, and what I still need to do to finish them:

  • Evergreen Angels of Death: need painting
  • Alpha Murderwings: need custom shoulder pads + painting
  • Celestial Incidiants: gift for boyfriend
