Head Into The Dark With New 40K Kill Team Boxed Set This Weekend
August 29, 2022 by brennon
This weekend, you'll be able to pre-order the new boxed set for Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team - Into The Dark. This new set introduces battles set within a space hulk where the Imperial Navy are clashing with a Kroot Kinband looking to pilfer secrets from the depths of Gallowdark.

With Into The Dark, you'll get access to all of the miniatures, terrain, accessories, rules and more that you need to start playing games of Kill Team. The basic rules for Kill Team can be found for FREE HERE but the book(s) included will offer a more in-depth rundown of how the game works.
More importantly, you get your hands on two new Kill Teams for use with the game. You might choose to go with the hardened and grizzled Imperial Navy Breachers who are armed with deadly shotguns and are ready to properly "breach and clear" airlocks in search of the Xenos infiltrators.

The set comes with some super awesome miniatures that certainly give you a different taste of the way the Astra Militarum operate. Their more baroque armour that has that "diving suit" aesthetic works really well for a bunch of Sci-Fi Gothic soldiers heading into the unknown. They are also accompanied by the C.A.T. and the Gheistskull.
On the other side of things, we have the Kroot Farstalker Kinband that Lloyd wasn't too impressed with back when we covered it on The Weekender.

This set comes with a proper hunting pack of Kroot that comes armed with a myriad of familiar and unfamiliar weapons. I think Lloyd was right that they don't have a lot of motion to them but I think the sculpts themselves are very nice. They are a lot more detailed than your classic Kroot that we've been stuck with for just over twenty years.
It will be interesting to see how this Kinband gets introduced into the wider game of Warhammer 40,000. I would assume they will become available separately later with either a free Dataslate or they will simply get folded into T'au players' armies as replacements.
The set also comes with a new set of terrain to represent the Space Hulk known as Gallowdark.
Space Hulk Terrain // Warhammer 40,000: Into The Dark
You get big thick wall sections, doors (that open) and lots of other bits of scatter terrain that would be handy for those diving into Kill Team games in the tight-knit environments of a Space Hulk. There is also a game board that is used for the basis of your set-up and you could even be super inventive if you really wanted and create different floors if you had enough of the boards!
Returning Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team Sets
As well as the new set for Into The Dark, there are also going to be some sets returning to the tabletop led by the new Kill Team Annual 2022. This will contain updated rules and additional material for some of the Kill Teams in previous sets and help even the playing field for some Kill Teams that have been left behind.
Annual 2022 // Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team
You will find information for a variety of Kill Teams including the ones shown below...
Phobos Strike Team // Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team
Blooded // Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team
Elucidian Starstriders // Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team
Gellerpox Infected // Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team
You might remember these Kill Teams from the last edition of the game and also Kill Team: Moroch which was the previous boxed set for the game this edition. All very complicated but you'll be able to pick up some new Kill Teams and have fun with them in your games.
These will also be great options for those looking to pick up more miniatures for regular games of Warhammer 40,000. The Elucidian Starstriders would be a great way to expand something Inquisitorial on the tabletop and the Blooded are a good way to add more traitors to your Chaos forces.

Going to be getting a box of Gellerpox Infected to use as Accursed Cultists in a future Nurglr Cultist unit.
And then the Blooded, as they are supposed to get some rules in the future for use in 40K – which is unusual, as I though that tehse boxes generally came with 40K rules inside.
The Chaos Space Marine Codex came with rules for the specialists that can be built from a Kill Team: Legionaries box, which I think is a first for a main stream 40K army.
To me that terrain is highlight from those.
The new kill team box is just amazing. It is more kill team on a space hulk than space hulk rules. However watching the play through they did with the breaching rules for walls and doors it does look pretty fun. Both kill teams being new models is really good I am very keen on the navy ones and the terrain is likely to get a lot of use across different games. The gellerpox and Elucidian Starstriders I think are some of the best models GW have done. I already own them from the kill team rogue trader box. I… Read more »
if it’s anything like the chaos cultists in the new Chaos demon codex then you’ll get 5 monopose models for a squad of 20 …
which sucks, because if anything regular imperial guard and a box of bits would be enough to create a ton of interesting cultists and traitor guard.
For me, Amazing wargaming stops at $150 dollars.
Love the Naval breacher’s for gaming.
