Both these cards and the tokens are pretty much essential in order to play the game, so I do hope these come packaged with the rule book or in a future starter set for Kill Team, as sadly I don’t believe the Octarius set will be around forever.

As the box contains two sets with different backings it allows two players to have access to these cards. We have also filmed a full video review and unboxing – so if you rather watch your review content you can check that out just below and over on YouTube!įirst up we get a sheet of double sided token to represent objectives, active operatives and various statuses and effects that may be active during a game.Īlong side these there are two identical sets of cards with two different coloured backings – these are used to generate a bank of secondary objectives that are then drawn at the start of each game.

Kill Team Octarius is up for pre order on Saturday, but we have been lucky enough to receive an early review copy for free from Games Workshop for us to delve into and share with you guys! In this Kill Team Octarius review we will be looking at the contents of the set, checking out the new plastic Kommandos and Death Korps of Krieg along with the Ork Scenery, and having a dive into the new rules system and sharing our thoughts on it compared to previous editions.

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. Kill Teams of around 10 models jostle for control of a key objectives in tight and dense terrain as they try and set up beneficial vantage points while out manoeuvring their opponents in deadly skirmishes. 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. But not every conflict in the 40k universe deals with armies and detachments battling for control of continents and planets, some very important battles from a lore point of view featured just a handful of special operatives striking behind enemy lines or infiltrating a key location in order to turn the wider war.

In the grim darkness of the far future, massive armies clash in a time of unending war.
