Derp, thanks for the heads up.

I can't imagine the included terrain for either of those. Maybe some Imperialis ruins for Deathwatch, and the Eldritch Ruins for Drukhari?

The previous Starter sets came in twos along with an accompanying Killzone, so I imagine they'll conitnue that trend. My Guess is we'll see Killzone: Deathworld, with the Deathworld/Aeldari ruins kit, and have similar terrain in the Drukhari and Deathwatch kits.

What they'll do for Harlequins and T'au, I don't know. The Tidewall "terrain" perhaps? The rulebook also showcases the Defense Line terrain, so that might also be included as a Killzone/starter set. Alternatively, some kits may have expansions for the Sector Imperialis which so far was only present in the main Kill Team starter.

I can't imagine an entire Killzone Deathworld would be just the Deathworld terrain, as there's no "second level" stuff. The theme might be an overrun abandoned outpost? Include a couple Munitorum containers, perhaps, for LOS blocking/climbing.

Good point. The Drop Force Imperator/Writhing Shadow sets actually showcase exactly that (with a similar picture in the rulebook as well):

Can’t remember if it was earlier in the thread or offsite, but there were photos floating around of Deldar and Deathwatch with Deathworld terrain.

I think that covers all main Terrain sets they sell currently, apart from regular old trees and the Gnarlmaw.

Don't forget the Wall of Martyrs trenches. They are also featured in the Kill Team core rules an the T'au and Necron kill team faction focus articles:

Well hey. Death world + a crate or two + thermic plasma regulators definitely would be a cool "overrun base" killzone.

So you're thinking Killzone: Sector Martyrdom?

Don't forget there is now the option for Killzone: Ork scrapyard

Does that mean that there will be a stratagem for a random terrain piece to explode?

That would be cool, actually. Or a "The Drops" tactics card, where if you wander in a certain area on the roll of a D6 you may fall in the Drops and suffer mortal wounds from the Squigs and the stench of Ork droppings.

In general, alongside all the Imperial terrain (which I love), a variety of Xenos terrain would be great, but apart from the T'au tidewall and the upcoming Ork stuff GW only produces Eldar ruins in the Deathworld set and the Webway gates, which wouldn't really suit a Killzone box, IMHO. Imagine Killzone: Tyrannoforms, Killzone: Tomb World or Killzone: Daemon World

Based on all the ridiculously fun Tactics in Sector Munitorum, I would hope so.

Next are indeed Killzone: Deathworld Forest, and Deathwatch and Drukhari starters:

Also, rogue tradr confirmed, with a shuttle and shrine killzones: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/08/18/18th-aug-warhammer-fest-europe-live-bloggw-homepage-post-1fw-homepage-post-1/

Can someone work out how kill zone deathworld compares to regular boxes and the old value pack of deathworld terrain?

We'll need to see the prices first as we've had £30 and £37.50 killteam boxes so these could be either (or even a different price again)

The Kill Zones are £50 thus far, separately that Deathzone terrain looks like £80 worth.

That Rogue Trader trailer..

Out of curiosity, what is so awful about it? I’ve never seen it up close.

Hey, look at that, it's against Nurgle in the Rogue Trader box.

Who'da thunk it.

So, Kill Team: Rogue Trader is basically the same kind of content as the Necromunda box. From the wording it almost sounds like it could also be called Kill Team: Rogue Trader The Board Game. I’m not saying that negatively, but rather they imply you can play this using the rules in the box or use the stuff in Kill Team proper. I can’t be the only one reading that. I guess that characters plus moods Kill teams will end up with lots of data sheets with 0-1 next to their availability? If so, I can see an inquisitor themed set in the future, but that a lot of Rogue Trader or Inquisitorial Kill Teams will all have the same types of models—as in an Assassin, but not necessarily the same figure.

I do not believe you will be getting a separate rule set in the box that's different from Kill Team. I don't know that you'll be getting the full Kill Team rulebook in the box, but I don't think there is a separate set of rules for it. Perhaps a simplified set of rules/mini rulebook.

Yeah, it's a Kill Team set.

The models are getting rules for 40k though.

It is supposed to be a jungle environment. Back in the day when the Catachan codex dropped, staff would show you IN THE CODEX how they build their tropical terrain from scratch. This was an incentive for me to build a wonderful jungle for my Catachans including multi-level ruins, forests, overgrown ruins, river, hills and plant critters.

Now look at this kit of GW. It is as uninspiring as it gets. Another poster already pointed out that there were no different levels to climb which is boring. Do you see any other features than these horrible trees? Are there any other terrain features that I built for my table depicted in the ad? Hell, no. It is just a bunch of overpriced crap that they try to shove down our throats. Are there still people around today that build their own terrain or has everybody been brainwashed to buy the latest plastic crap which won´t even give decent cover for a snivelling grot?

I was talking to one of the rules designers at Warhammer Fest today, he mentioned Rogue Trader is an expansion for Kill Team so you'll need the core Kill Team rule book.

If the human models are getting rules for 40k, does that mean they are getting their own codex?

Likely White Dwarf or even free download like they did with the Shadespire AOS models. Truthfully they could have released a "Gang" dataslate for Chaos and Imperial forces using the Necromunda models.

There will be two minicodizes in the Box allowing these teams with their own detachments in 40K. They basically consist of the named unique characters of the Kill Team, though, so don't really make for a greater army.

I thought GW previously announced Daemons won't be in Killteam.

Are they Daemons?

The preview keeps calling them "the crew".

Posssessed humans I’d wager. Well. And at least one Ogryn.
