About the game
The war in the shadows escalates! Amidst ruined cityscapes, carnivorous jungles and hidden strongholds, new kill teams join the fray. From the gruesome Gellerpox Infected to the noble Elucidian Starstriders, each band of warriors brings their own method of war to every desperate battle – in struggles that seem more varied and deadly than ever. Expert assassins and saboteurs slip through patrols of enemy sentries, hoping to complete their bloody tasks and slip away before they are detected, while bands of grizzled warriors faced with impossible odds choose to make their last stand, taking as many of the foe as they can with them to the grave. Kill Team: Annual 2022 offers new ways to enjoy the sci-fi skirmish game you know and love, with fresh missions and game modes, kill teams collected from the pages of White Dwarf like the Harlequin Void-dancer Troupes and the Hunter Clades of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and two classic kill teams returning to the game for the first time in its new edition.
