Kill Team Octarius is an outstanding set, not only does it contain some stunning miniatures such as the new Ork terrain, Kommandos and plastic Death Korps, but it is also a much needed refresh of the Kill Team.

In the meantime, if the Confidant isn’t the Leader, it can choose a friendly model to activate after it does, letting you line up key actions in sequence with your team. The detail on the models is very good and I'm looking forward to putting paint on everything at some point.

Between these two and the Medic Veteran , who can heal 2d3 wounds per turn and keep a friendly model from being incapacitated once per game, you can put up a solid line to protect your more vulnerable ranged damage dealers. MELTA CHARGES [1EP]Each time an operative equipped with melta charges performs the Plant Explosives action, the vital installation suffers 1 additional Damage point.

MISSION RULES Ruse: After the Defender has selected their kill team, they must divide their kill team into two forces, with as equal a number of models in each as possible. The Hardened Veteran, on the other hand, packs a bit more punch: their bionic arm hits with a 4/5 damage profile, making them that much more threatening against all targets. SPEC OPS BONUS Inviolate Defence: If the Defender is currently undertaking the Honour Bound or Secure District Spec Op, then at the end of the battle, if the vital installation has suffered no Damage points, reduce by 1 the number of games required to complete that Spec Op’s Operation 1. This one has a very “Orky” design, but I imagine just like with the previous editions of the game that we will see Kill Zone boxes with themed designs and terrain.Whoever can gain control of the area will have an unsurpassed vantage point from which to observe enemy movements. An operative can perform this action while on the vantage points of one of the terrain features labelled Recon Points A-D (see map), provided no enemy operative is on the vantage point of the same terrain feature.
