About the game
Kill Team: Brutal and Cunning pits the belligerent Ork Wrecka Krew against a band of wily Ratling marksmen in a tense battle in the Undermuzzle Barrens. There’s a third drop of kill teams and datacards to round out the available teams, while Lieutenant Titus makes his debut as a solo release, and mechanical horrors beyond mortal comprehension arrive in Legions Imperialis. Kill Team: Brutal and Cunning contains two kill teams. The Wrecka Krew is made up of a Boss Nob, five Orks, and two Bomb Squigs, while there are 10 Ratling operatives and a battlemutt lead by a Ratling Fixer. It also includes Killzone Upgrade: Compound Siege, comprising two bunkers, six fire steps and six stockades for use with Killzone: Volkus. The 72-page softback Brutal and Cunning dossier is packed with lore for the mission and kill teams, plus rules for the Wrecka Krew and Ratlings, and the Volkus Compound Mission Pack contains PvP and PvE scenarios. You’ll also get all the datacards and tokens you need for both kill teams, as well as an Ork transfer sheet with 438 transfers. Brutal and Cunning is the first expansion for the latest edition of Kill Team. —description from the publisher
