This weekend Games Workshop sorry Warhammer announced that the new Kill Team Starter Set is available. The kit includes as usual some representations from the Empire of Man in the form of some Space Marines, taking on a squad of Plague Marines.
The set comes with the usual set of two complete Kill Teams (see images below), a 64-page starter handbook that takes you through each element of the game in turn, a core token sheet, two reference sheets, 10 dice, a double-sided game board, and an innovative set of MDF terrain which builds two larger structures and eight smaller structures.
The most interesting part to me is the shift to include MDF terrain. The most recent Kill Teams have all included Games Workshops high quality plastic terrain, which in my opinion is some of the best you can get – if not a little pricey. To shift to include MDF, which is a great medium for terrain, is a bold move. There are many MDF suppliers who current out match the stuff included in this kit. Maybe this is a sign of a shift to a more sustainable product, maybe it’s to reduce the cost of kits (unlikely) or offer something perhaps lighter to reduce shipping costs?
Who is to say but I am looking forward to seeing what else they will do with terrain into the future. Are you going to buy the new starter set? What factions do you play in Kill Team?
