A photo of a game of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team played on two regular boards. The terrain is a bunch of steampunk-looking walls and the boards have artwork on them that looks like the inside of an ancient rusty starship. At the bottom left are my miniatures, nine lithe space elves in fucshia armour and turquoise cloaks. At the top are fourteen just human troopers, and at the bottom left are fourteen essentially also human troopers but all corrupted and evil.

Three player Kill Team today!

...it did not go well for me and wasn't even close. We only got through two turns and I only scored one single victory point right at the end of the second turn. I killed stuff, but my initial positioning was poor and tried to do too much at once, especially since I had only nine miniatures compared to the fourteen of the other two teams. By the end of the second turn I was down to only three miniatures left, the friend in second was down to I think four, and the friend in first still had ten out of his fourteen starting.

A photo of a game of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. The board looks like the metal of the inside of an ancient steampunk starship, and the terrain is a bunch of walls all connected together in the same steampunk style to form number of interconnecting rooms. On the left are nine Aeldari (think space elves) in elegant fuchsia-coloured armour, and at the right are ten heavily-armoured human warrior women in black armour and red cloaks, all with striking white hair.

First game of Kill Team with my Voidscarred tonight! It was against the Sisters of Battle, I won 18-13. Really enjoyed this layout from the new Critical Tac-Ops, it required a lot of strategising about where to go and which hatches to open when.

The Voidscarred are so much fun to play, they've got lots of things they can do and the free Dash action every turn is brilliant, it makes them incredibly fast to move around. Good LORD the Sisters' "Divine Intervention" tactical ploy that lets them ignore the damage from a single attack dice was a pain though. It would have been four or five times I was about to kill a miniature and my opponent was able to pull that off to save them!

Favourite moment was absolutely melting one unit with my Starstorm Duellist's dual fusion pistol, shooting another with her shuriken pistol, and then using the Way Seeker's Warp Fold psychic power to swap positions with the Duellist and proceed to beat down on another unit that was next to the one I'd just melted. I ended up sweeping up and around the top to claim six objectives, while my forces at the bottom ended up getting annihilated and not accomplishing a whole lot, though it DID end up with a bunch of my opponent's forces down there without being able to get to anywhere useful so it worked out well enough in the end.

A photo of ten assembled and undercoated humanoid but extremely clearly not human miniatures, plus two more that look kind of like a cross between a dog and a pig. The humanoids are fairly spindly and have faces that almost look like turtles, and their "hair" is spines that stick straight out from the back of their heads. Their clothing is quite organic, there's a bit of armour but it's quite worn-looking. They're all wielding various weapons, mostly extremely long rifles.

Finally got my Kroot from the Into The Dark box assembled and undercoated! The organic feel of them should be a nice change of pace from the clean lines of the Voidscarred.

A photo of a game of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. The board looks like the metal of an inside of a ancient steampunk starship, and the terrain is a bunch of walls all connected together in the same steampunk style. On one side are ten heavily-armoured human warriors in light blue/grey armour, and on the other are VERY LARGE Space Marines in orange armour.

First game of Kill Team: Into The Dark! Heavy Intercessors vs. Astra Militarum Scions. Really enjoying this format, it was a hell of a close game, sadly I lost 6-7, mostly due to a couple of mistakes on my part.

A photo of a bunch of steampunk-looking terrain on a game board, it's all walls and put together to look like the interior of a cramped gothic spaceship. There's miniatures in it, vile Plague Marines and Poxwalkers approaching through the corridors from the left, facing off again several female warriors in light blue/grey armour and wielding various guns.

A close-up shot looking down one of the corridors, you can really see all the pipes and machinery and everything in the walls. One of the Plague Marines is facing a woman in a military cap who's about to blast the Marine with a plasma pistol.

Another even closer-upper shot, taken from the point of view of one of the miniatures. A different female warrior in armour is pointing her gun through a hatchway at a Poxwalker, which is a gross pustle-covered zombie thing.

Remember the absurd amount of terrain I put together from the Kill Team: Into The Dark box? FINALLY got it finished today!

I realised I was massively overthinking it and that I didn't actually need to do remotely as much detail as I thought. I primed in black, did a low airbrushed zenithal highlight of this wonderful dark blue metallic colour, then a higher one of copper, airbrushed white for the lights, then picked out a few details in red, and it looks fantastic on the tabletop.

A photo of the board of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team's new box called "Into the Dark". There's a bunch of walls that are incredibly detailed and look almost steampunk, with hulking Space Marines on the right and regular armoured human troops on the left.

In the office for Kill Team tonight! I didn't actually play this game, merely spectated, but it was using the new Into The Dark terrain and missions that were released recently, and it's pretty excellent.
