As outlined above, when compared to the Kill Team Starter Set, the price of the Pariah Nexus expansion is, frankly, ludicrous. To add another comparison, Blood Bowl Second Season Edition had absolutely everything you could possibly need to play the game (rules, dice, rulers, tokens, you name it), twice the figures (all of which were awesome), and cost less. If an expansion charges as much as the Starter Set, you’d rightly expect content on-par with that included in the original box. But this just doesn’t happen with the Pariah Nexus expansion.

First off, the mission walkthroughs are extremely hand-holdy, so much so that the missions instruct players what to do with each figure in each turn.

Whilst this is great for hammering home key info about certain mechanics, things are a little bit rigid, and the “playing” one does doesn’t really seem like playing. You expect the training wheels to be bolted on pretty tight, but you were expecting dad to let go of the handlebars.

Still, in spite of all my naysaying, it’s a nice addition and will help new players create a more immersive wargaming experience on their table top, but this likely won’t cut the mustard for more experienced and serious players.

In this article we’ll talk about how to get started with the game, from what you need to buy to what you need to know about play to ensure that what you start with works in the long term. You read that right – the kill team’s Gretchin has dug up some well-buried courage and can be found zipping all over the killzone with his trusty grappling hook.Much like his enemy across the board, the Necron Chronomancer is an awesome figure. Towering over the others in the set, this is the one that will catch eyes in your LGS – and the one you’ll want to show off on the tabletop.
