They're out of stock at the moment, but have been available for quite some time.

They sold out online in about 5 minutes and haven't been back in stock. Some shops may have had them but no one did when I was in the US in July.

They've been back in stock multiple times. Unfortunately though, they're a wildly popular kit for conversions...meaning they go out of stock just as quickly.

Matters aren't helped either by people throwing them up as a "must have" for some armies because of the new edition.

I've got an email note for when they're in stock and it's not squeeled once

Those email alerts are rather worthless. If they do go off at all, it tends to be after the item has already sold out again.

I think that while there is a profound theoretical different between "unreleased" and "perennially out of stock" the practical difference rounds to zero.

Sunday Preview – Sneaky Space Marines and a Whole Season of Kill Team - WarCom

So Annual 2023 is worthless if you already have all 5 books from the season? If this sets a precedent, I might skip many of the books from S3, perhaps more convenient to buy Annual 2024 for the rules for all teams instead.. I mean, the Season launch box is probably a good un, but the rest of em might turn out to be skippable

Another week without anything new to buy, it seems. Hope stock lasts long enough for people to get the teams they are missing out on!

You can tell from the cover it has the Ashes of Faith teams, but nowhere on the article does it mention Ashes of Faith. So probably just strips out the teams and has none of the extra rules for that campaign.

Wonder why they decided to compile this season's books into an annual rather than release individually.

Was it not like this already with the previous ones? Honest question, I do not know.

I get the feeling that this was originally supposed to be the last week of August and got bumped forward due to the LI snafu.

They had nothing else to fill the annual with? The WD content has been a lot leaner than last year.

Nope, Annual 2022 compiled all the White Dwarf article stuff from the previous season. We didn't get any WD content for Season 2, which is why this years annual just compiles the campaign books themselves

I do think this is a better format for the Annuals however, I'd much rather have all of Season's missions & rules compiled into a single (digital) volume than having 4-5 separate smaller books. Still might end up flipping my S2 books for this one tbh

We did get a multiplayer mission that also featured the end of Malys' story from Soulshackle (some bizarre double-double cross somehow). Hopefully that will be included in the annual for completeness!

Prices. That’s a big jump in price for the annual.

As always, thank you for sharing these!

At least the seperate Kill Teams seem to be no more expensive than most of the other ones out right now. Which is... something.

Bump is probably due to them chucking a whole season into one book.

I just hope I can get my hands on a set of medical equipment before they sell out in moments. 😬

Pleasantly surprised at the Hearthkyn. I expected them to cost the same as the Marine teams.

Kill Team Annual 2023 – Play Through the Entire Gallowdark Season With Rules for Every Team

Now the timing of the latest KT21 balance update makes sense, folks will start to have a more general access to ravagers and cults in a few weeks. Its kind of neat for people who missed out on the S2 boxes, assuming that the terrain sprues will remain in sale for a while..

What are the chances we'll see Season 3 teams revealed this month?

High. GW are doing a preview at Nova on Wednesday 30th. New kill team stuff will probably be there.

We're now at £40 for softbacks? And now almost two years since the release of KT'21, after a whole deluge of overpriced books and £100+ box sets...still no rules for Banshees.

Of course with the limited runs of most of the sets not everyone managed to get all the boxes.

Kill Team Annual 2022 is 152 pages, making 2023's 296 pages nearly twice the size.

Remember that this book compiles together 5 campaign books, each costing 35€.. so basically you are getting 175€'s worth of books

Which, again, were all overpriced in the first place. Besides, the core 40K book is a hard back at £40 and the Necromunda rule book - also a hard back - is £42.50. Both close to 300 pages, give or take.

I’d be getting two books worth of stuff I don’t have (beastmen, squats, inqiuisition, cultists) for less than the standard price of two of those books. Probably less than that, with discounters.

Do we know if the Gallowfall book will be released separately now? It's the only one I haven't managed to grab on eBay, so it'll be a bit annoying to have to re-buy the rest of Gallowdark in the annual just to get that.

Thanks for sharing. Do we know how much Killzone Upgrade: Gallowfall will be?

It not being on the price list makes me think it’ll be direct only. Shadow Vault was $35 and Soul Shackle $60, so I’d go in expecting to pay $60 and be surprised if it’s less. I’m fairly sure the difference is vault was only one sprue and shackle has two.
