There’s a reasonably chunky campaign book in here, with some fluff pieces and a nice showcase for each team, as well as some cool John Blanche art which looks slightly out of place in the otherwise quite sleek, modern-looking Kill Team aesthetic but is nevertheless very cool. Much as we expected after the Octarius box, Chalnath is different. Who knows – chances are you never even opened the pamphlet except to find out the stats for your new guy that aren’t in a Codex yet. Maybe there’s some datasheets so you can technically play the game with just the models in the box, maybe there’s one or two narrative missions someone dashed off in a lunch break. If you’re used to the GW model of “battle box” releases, you’ll know that they ordinarily try and add some kind of light fluff or gaming content to them, and that it’s often not very good.


The new campaign book, complete with combatants who seem a bit uninterested in each other 1. We’ll be talking about the rules for the new Novitiate and Pathfinder Kill Teams today, and the new Killzone and mission rules later in the week but those are just a part of what is in this box, and so with that in mind we’re going to pre-empt some of the questions you’re likely to have and talk about the box itself. Kill Team: Chalnath goes up for pre-order today, and Games Workshop were kind enough to send us a preview copy to dig into and learn more about the war in the Vedik System.
