All in all, the components and models of Kill Team: Octarius are fantastic. I can’t wait to paint the models and provide you with detailed tutorials. If the changes to gameplay and roster-building are really what the people wanted from a new edition, we’ll see. Don’t be biased and give the new edition a chance, from what I’ve seen there are a lot of clever ideas that are worth to be given a try. The idea is to add a level of persistence across the game, alongside more narrative flavour. Games Workshop has said you won’t have to opt-in or out, though, with Spec Ops players able to progress through their campaigns even when battling one-off, matched play opponents.

The Kill Team Compendium is not only expensive, but is also bereft of unique rules for a huge number of models. If the Kill Team Roadmap is anything to go by, these rules probably won’t appear until well into the future and will require you to spend more money to obtain. In fact, this launch box will be followed up with major new releases every quarter – alongside substantial additional support in places like White Dwarf.
