Was not expecting a human-sized chain fist.

Looks good, but with the walls and rulebook, I expect a hefty pricetag.

For those of us who actually own Space Hulk.... do we expect the terrain to be on sale separately at some point?

Much more appealing than the Kreigs & Kommandos, and hope it leads into a new £65 starter set.

One thing that brightened up the last edition of Kill Team was using Blackstone Fortress for indoor tomfoolery, and additional models for regular Kill Team battles.

Love the Kroot- especially the heavy bow thing. The terrain looks nice, not super interesting in itself but great to add to. I'm glad they didn't include plastic floors -the price would have been more silly than this will be already..quite tempted by this.. would love a Votann KT in one of the follow up sets.

Love the kroot. Will probably wait for their individual release, I like the Navy for the most part but not enough to buy the whole box right now.

It might be, but it'll probably be more expensive than the KT boxset if Battlezone: Fronteris was any indication.

You can probably find it on Ebay for half the price of the box too and definitely for cheaper than what GW will release it separately as.

Why'd they bother teasing the Kroot falconer on Monday though?

As expected, Imperial Navy looks pretty generic, with the most interesting bits being the power fireaxe and bombsuit, while Kroot team looks amazing, like a band of cowboys.

I'll probably get one or 2 box.

Love the terrain! Seems to be more compact than Zone Mortalis, so probably not compatible systems. Guess I need to make a painting tutorial for them

Navy is pretty cool, just wish they didn't had these maglock boots, makes sense lore-wise, but limits their usefulness as generic retinue models.

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

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

The dude that's paired with it has a "Kill switch" flipped up. So I guess we got the servo version of a bomb squig?

Edit: Yep
Gheistskull. Even dead Breachers don’t get to retire, not when their skulls are the perfect size for holding a compact explosive

Can anyone with better eyes weigh in on whether those floor tiles (which aren’t Zone Mortalis) look compatible with ZM?

I’m seeing the pillar/grate square for sure, but other than that my eyes go wonky.

I was sorely tempted by previous iterations of Kill Team boxed sets in the past, but I may need to pull the trigger on this one. Not for the actual game, but for the Voidsmen and the terrain. The Kroot are nice but I'm not necessarily in the market for them.

Sometimes generic just WORKS though. The models individually have some character though which is good for a game like Kill Team.

Given the launch trailer for the Leagues was on a space hulk, I’d give good odds that they’ll be in the next box. Maybe against Tyranids, just for the squat irony?!

I’m super stoked for this box, love all of the models. Only real downside is an unnecessary rule book and hoping that the walls are ZM compatible (although that’s not a deal breaker).

I don't think so. The grate is clearly the same CAD file as the ZM one but it looks like it has a wider border so the squares must be bigger, I think.

Uh ... Naval Infantry from a Space Fleet?

They are .. uh ... Space Marines

The terrain is really nice, I'd love to make some L ruins from it and slap some of the old gw ruin floors on top. Also good for zone mortalis/necromunda.

On further examination: ZM walls are thick and occupy squares. Here it looks like all squares have thick borders and the walls are thin and sit on top of the borders.

Only one grate visible too; I think it's for flavour rather than a part of the way bits fit together.

So unless they have been very very clever, I think not ZM compatible.

EDIT: More grates than that, but in adjacent rows.

Love the Kroot!

Not quite as thrilled about the Navy Breachers themselves, but am thrilled with the CAT and servo skulls.

The terrain set is very nice as well.

Breachers seem a bit more cartoonish, not sure the shotgun/shield guy fully works.

2 Shotguns stack on top of each other and it "click" into the door shield (because these dudes are expendable so they get no budget for an actual shield) so he can rack it with 1 hands. Not sure how he was able to carry the door though.

Product looks pretty great, but I can't help but think I can probably get a similar amount of terrain with very similar functionality from Archon for 50€. Interested to see if this will be in the latest Warcry price bracket or the Ash Wastes price bracket. If the latter, no way in heck. If the former, maybe if I can get it 35% off from eastern Europe.

I would be surprised if any measurement other than height matches ZM. Zone Mortalis follows its own unique geometry. It has squares but they aren't evenly distributed. Space Team Kill Hulk squares aren't actually squares, the math doesn't add up if the board size remains 22x30". Each "square" looks like a rectancle with 2:3 ratio instead. This probably means that not all the wall sections are of equal lenght but it remains to be seen.

Once again I shake my head at the stupid board size of Kill Team.

Am I missing something, or is that the Ecclesiarch symbol on both the CAT and one of the Breachers? Is there an exaplanation for that?

I like their idea of adding each set until you get a full board, but no doubt there'll be STLs that replicate each piece pretty much identically for 1/3rd the cost to print.

You know that the shield is shaped like a door because it's supposed to
Fit
Through the ship doors

The KT board has 7 x 6 "squares," which would make them very close, but not quite square.

I have 6 ZM floor tiles, which is 24x36". I'm going to call that close enough for anything other than competitive play.

As for the pillars and walls, I bet they're all the same dimension. It wouldn't be worth it for 0.2"

...and there's nothing that says you can't use your ZM pillars and walls.

It's seen - they have revealed the wall sections and there are two lengths. And yes, the "squares" are clearly rectangles now I look. Some of them contain 2x3 square grilles, and the vent section has extra padding on one side.

We haven't gotten one yet, but personal speculation is that it's just meant to be a "blessing" since they're effectively going into warp-corrupted hulks.

We need a new KT thread. I'm enjoying the lack of final reply rollover bug on the other threads I read.
