To say there’s been utter pandaemonium on Volkus lately is an understatement – the T’au Empire is invading, Orks want to steal the Massif Ballistus, Chaos cults run rampant, and all the while, diligent Imperial labourers toil to reload their massive gun. Just when it seems things couldn’t get worse, a new nightmare emerges in Kill Team: Typhon. The next major expansion for Kill Team follows a brood of burrowing Raveners as they prepare the fortress world for an invasion of a different sort. With planetary forces and fervent pilgrims already fully committed elsewhere, the Adeptus Mechanicus and their legions of servitors must stand alone against the Hive Mind’s cunning predators.
The great tectonic quakes that always follow the Day of Firing have revealed strange relics beneath the sands, but more than just damp and darkness await the explorator teams brave enough to venture down. A kill team of Raveners lies in wait, imbued with a rare element of self-preservation and deadly intelligence. Unlike other Tyranid forces, these elite predators operate in small numbers—only five operatives per team—but make up for it with incredible mobility, tunneling through the battlefield to strike from unexpected angles. Their devastating melee prowess ensures that every loss is felt keenly, but their ability to manipulate the battlefield makes them an unmatched terror in close-quarters combat.
The Tech-Priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus usually rely on the disciplined ranks of the Skitarii, but in dire times, they muster legions of servitors to drown enemies in relentless gunfire. The noospheric network connecting these lobotomized warriors grants them unparalleled coordination, allowing them to shift power between operatives and execute complex battlefield maneuvers. This expansion also introduces Tyranid-infested terrain pieces and a rich dossier of new rules and missions.
Like previous expansions such as Brutal and Cunning and Blood and Zeal, the new book provides a fresh way to experience Kill Team, including an expanded set of Joint Ops co-op rules and full NPO profiles for a variety of Tyranid threats. With a thrilling narrative and intense tactical gameplay, Kill Team: Typhon is a must-have for fans of the Warhammer 40K skirmish game.
