KROOT WITH A HAWK!

Article

How big are the interiors of the hulk that a bird can flap around and not keep banging off ceilings, walls, door jams etc?

While the original game was pretty claustrophobic, a Space Hulk is just a fusion of several lost ships and not all of them are just dungeons.

They're massive ships with big open hall and zone, these ship used to carry other ships,even titans, and home of millions. They're not floating space pipes.

Kill Team: Into the Dark – What’s in the Box?

Why does that servo skull have a ball gag...?

I like some of the Kroot. Navy guys look very bland.

I'm presuming it's some kind of sensor and not a ball gag lol.

Fine I'll post the terrain pics:





So in the first picture the ground is very clearly real... and then in the actual contents, it's a paper mat. And it appears that everything is based on a slot system, and then a series of toppers that holds everything together.

Or an explosive/breaching charge. The controller unit does appear to have a Big Red Button…
I like the Armsman wit the chain fist-they were originally designed for breaching bulkheads on ships after all.

The Kroot look amazing for sure. But what the heck is up with that triple-bow grenade launcher thing?

Actually now that I've seen more of the navy, I like them more. I've never had any interest in Kroot, and these don't really change that for me.

The board that is included in the boxed set appears to be cardboard (although a very nice looking print). However, the close-up picture shows a plastic board instead. Maybe it's a separate release?

Terrain looks nice and the mechanic to make it modular is pretty clever.

I don't really know what I was expecting, but I'm a little underwhelmed by the terrain, I may be more receptive when the proper flooring turns up, as you re correct, that floor is real in the first pic, but at the moment I'm a little meh. I'll get it for the potential in the next boxes, but I think I'll only be buying one, as opposed to multiple that I was anticipating I would buy at first, this is compounded even more by having very little interest in the models, the Navy breachers are a bit cool, but I don't see much of a purpose for them, one or two for converting/inquisitor warband.

Servo Skull bomb is my new best friend.

This release cycle is going to be a great boon for my terrain project as well as a great strain on the wallet.

Awesome terrain! And 2 doggos for Kroot! Navy crew is growing on me.

I think the two Kill Teams both look amazing. The terrain is kind of what I expected. I’m not blown away by it, but I do like it. The prospect of subsequent sets adding more compatible terrain (hopefully more interesting terrain) does sound very promising.

I’m definitely sold on this one.

Could well be. Like the Necromunda Dark Uprising stuff, you got a paper mat in the box, but they also sold the compatible tiles.

I wouldnt pick up this box but the Kroot are fantastic

Terrain is super cluttered and generic. It'll probably be a very expensive kit on it's own

Those voidsmen do look really good, dang. Especially the guy with the fat armoured plate and collar.

Those are my thoughts as well. I like the embellishments - the random machinery that you slot into the walls - but the walls themselves don't do it for me.

I don't know, it kinda reminds me positively of old submarines and comparative cramped spaces full of gizmos in every spot. Like so:



Mixing it with less cluttered bits and various scatter bits will be interesting.

Not to impressed by the re-inclusion of the Core Book and all the other Gubbins. If you have been buying all the boxes from the beginning then you already have all this stuff. It will push the price up but it's unlikely that will be easily recoverable as the market is already flooded. Octarius was the launch box and needed all the Core elements but the boxes since haven't had them as they are easily available either individually or in the current starter set. As an expansion to the current system this actually disincentives current players.

Not sure what you mean by 'real'? This box follows the same terrain format of all the previous ones. The first shot in the article shows the contents clearly. GW have always included diorama shots in their marketing that include more than the kit contents alone.

The kroot are amazing! Keeping an eye on the individual team box.

Terrain doesn’t look compatible at all with zone mortalis which is a shame….

There are a few pieces not just the floor tile that are in the video but not in the box set.

And frankly I don’t feel the space hulk vibe from the terrain. I guess I expected the corridors to be tighter then the let’s spread out terrain to fill the map look. I mean I have no idea what they will expand in the next 3 waves for this terrain.

I’m not buying the box set maybe the individual terrain box when it’s released I just don’t feel like paying $300 for kroot or aeronautica units that I would never be able to use in 40K. The cardboard mat (or paper) doesn t do it for me.

As down as I am on Kill Team 2.0 this looks like a pretty nice box.

Wonder if there will be lasgun builds for the breachers, would make a nice IG unit.

The shotguns are the defaults.

I'm fully expecting Guard Veterans to lose them as an option as well.

Very tempted to pick up the Kroot (which are incredible) and latest terrain from Warcry Ghur, sprinkled with some Catachans would make an awesome deathworld board...

Too many projects, too much grey, too little time!

Is that a man-portable multi-laser I spy?

Awesome. And apologies if there have already been 50 pages of discussion on that item so far

There's the line in the article that reads

"You get a massive collection of 54 individual parts in this box, and it’s almost infinitely expandable – not least when the next set arrives three months later, bringing with it a whole new set of compatible space hulk scenery!"

Maybe they're talking about the floor tiles there.


This box is, frankly, amazing. I can't say enough about it without breaking Dakka's decency laws. I must have it.

That is about the three follow up boxes just having more terrain.
One wouldn’t have just floors in the box.
Be alternate bits like this that can all mix together, and another quarter of floor mat in each.

Yeah it is. A much more likely option than a man-portable M134. For a start you don’t have to carry separate batteries and ammo, the batteries are the ammo. Zero recoil is also nice.
