These July release rumours are sounding a bit fishy to me, as my local manager vehemently denied it was getting released anytime soon

Your local manager probably knows less about what's coming up than you do, given GW takes a very "treat 'em like mushrooms" approach to their own staff. That said, it is seeming fairly unlikely unless we're going to go back to the concept that Kill Team is its own thing more on the scale of Shadow War(ie, a one-off book mainly designed to help push the terrain kits coming out with it), while the whole Rogue Trader/"40K Shadespire" thing is an entirely separate product line and the actual proper "big deal" release, in which case them chucking KT out on one weekend during the glut of AoS 2.0 material to keep 40K people on the line isn't implausible.

Yes. My local managers usually don't know stuff in advance either, except for things that require training: for 40K 8th ed., or AoS 2.0, they went to a GW workshop a few weeks before release to get to know the rules (since they need to run demos on the day they go for pre-order).
For everything else, they know basically as much as the other retailers (i.e., know what goes on pre-order a week before it does, but now we also have that info in WarCom).

According to multiple sources from the last GW event, we're supposed to get news about KT this week or next week. Hopefully that's still the plan.

Why would you say that?! Now I NEED it!

But yeah, definitely getting Kill Team for small games.

**Apple Peel**

Yes! Militarum Tempestus gonna rock it! We might even be able to use all the special weapons and be effective with them!

**Mysterio**

Kill Team will be the only '40K' I play - until they fix 40K with 9th (fingers crossed) - so yeah, let's go Kill Team, LET'S GO!!!

**Perfect Organism**

Do we even have any idea what kind of game it is going to be yet? A skirmish game where you can use 40k models like Shadow War: Armageddon? A micro-game with pre-set forces like Shadespire? A hybrid board-game wargame like Deathwatch: Overkill?

In little words, necromunda but with 40k armies (and maybe some news as rogue trader). Alternative activations, skills, etc etc, with some elements of 40k : command points, mortal wounds, rerolls, etcetc

They said that its a new game, so will have some special rules (for example there is D10)

**drbored**

Woo! Here's hoping that Space Marines are decent in Kill Team!

Like, really, really hoping. It's the only 40k army I have besides Knights and I doubt Knights are gunna fit in Kill Team.

**Insurgency Walker**

Having fethed up the vehicle rules for 40k I hope this game rocks.
I'm sure you could use some other faction to build a group of pilots outside their knights. I can think of all sorts of tasty scenarios around pilots, but would be a limited bag of tricks. When you think about it, killing the pilots outside their knights has some advantages, and sabotage of a knight would be the kind of mission a kill team would perform.

**Yodhrin**

Personally I'm hoping for "appropriate Soup". Like, taking a Deathwatch or Grey Knight marine in the retinue of an appropriate Ordo Inquisitor(and also: decent Ordo rules, or just Ordo rules actually being a thing), or the reverse with an Inquisitor joining a DW or GK unit, or mixed Eldar to represent Corsairs and so on.

But what I'm expecting is monofactions and probably being stuck using Primaris if you want decent Marines.

**schoon**

That is sooner than anticipated. Excellent news.

I'm looking forward to seeing what they did with the system.

**zanzibarthefirst**

I like how forces are arranged in AoS Skirmish so I hope this is similar. Previous versions have always been constrained by sticking to unit choices so a departure from this would be welcome.

A player could also convert Sacristans and Squires and Servitors and so on as support troops.

**H.B.M.C.**

Bring on that new terrain!!!

**zamerion**

From reddit

So I can't say much on this, but I've seen some of the new Kill Team stuff that's coming up. Look for a fully supported kill team game, a year of support and releases for it. It's also going to have compact vertical terrain, that you can store easily by disassembling it or folding it up. There will also be new model kits, and it's going to come in a full sized starter box.

**Chopstick**

That's a very generic statement that anyone can make imo.

Con. Vert? Haha, what funny words you use!

Nice of GW to release Kill Team in July, though. Gives 40k player not into Age of Sigmar something to do through all the new edition releases. I hope the rules aren't too bad.

**fresus**

Hopefully we'll get some info this week on WarCom.
Although maybe we'll have to wait until the week before it goes for pre-order…

**Mysterio**

Especially as...we're already in July!

It doesn't go for pre-order next Saturday. So it can only be released on the 21st or 28th.

It could also be released in August as long as it's put on pre-order on the 28th. That's enough for GW to consider it July.

Yep, as seen by the upcoming Nighthaunt Battletome whose reveal trailer said June 2018.

**MrMoustaffa**

Come on give us rules for a Skitarii HQ, please please please please.

At least we finally have some news again. Here's hoping it's good. At the very least it can't be any more phoned in that 7th Ed killteam was

Freezeframing the bit with the Orks are facing off against GSC. The neophytes are on 25mm except for their heavy weapons guy, who’s on 32mm. The Orks match his. (Well, and you can tell their gorilla asses are no longer hanging off the side, too.)

**Haighus**

That Ork also looks to have a riot shield...?

It doesn't look like a new ork kit though. It's the same body and arms for the plastic boyz. Nothing stops you from placing them on 32s right now.
