WarHammer 40K Kill Team starter set arrives.

Hi Chaps,

It would seem that I have turned into a Games Workshop devotee but if I have it came out of nowhere and I can explain...


Games Workshop have been producing models and games that are good value for the money. That right there is a shocker. For most of my adult gaming life I have rarely if ever purchased anything other than paint from them. This year I have bought two boxed sets and the latest one is by far one of the most interesting and complete wargames purchases that I have ever made.

The set cost £75 off Amazon Uk (it is sold out nearly everywhere) and is very good value for money. It comes with a quality gaming board, dice, figures, ruler and an awful lot of scenery and an excellent rulebook and a few manuals etc to help you start playing. Nothing else in miniature wargaming comes close to this.

To add to my enthusiasm for the set the rules are actually intriguing and seem very simple to use, not at all like the 40K mass battle ruleset which I find a confusing mess. Both "teams" are actually human looking-not a tin suit in sight which for me adds to the suspension of disbelief.

It will take a while to paint the figures and even the scenery which are now all assembled and undercoated. Pics will follow if I can actually paint something instead of rolling dice and enjoying myself. The wargaming gods have been against me though as I have worked two weeks straight though I intend a painting frenzy when I finally get a day off.

Keep blogging Chaps and if you get a chance to play this game do have a go.

    I'm even tempted. :P

    Do you plan to play solo? As that's probably the main or only way I'd play I'd be interested if it's feasible, and eve more so, it it's fun.

      Hi Fitz, this game is simple to play, the tactical cards that come with it have little impact and can be left out. I have been playing solo by simply deciding a tactic for a scenario for one side with the other (usually) defending. I have printed out a few copies of blank rosters from Reddit and a cheat sheet. The game is easy to learn and simple but so far every game has been fun. Try a game if you can, you will not regret it

    Thanks for the info! I'll see if I can try it out somehow. (or may just go ahead and buy enough to try out myself; it's getting close to time for birthday presents :D )
