About the game

In the maze-like warren of the space hulk Gallowdark, elite kill teams hunt each other through twisting shadows. When an Imperial prison barge carrying dangerous captives is forced into a cataclysmic collision with Gallowdark, the ship's Arbitrators find themselves locked into deadly battle with Drukhari saboteurs who seek to plunder the very souls of their prisoners. Kabalite agents of Lady Malys, these cruel aliens seek one convict in particular – a powerful witch, who has escaped into the space hulk's deadly corridors. Proctor-exactant Kolkord now leads an Exaction Squad in a running battle to retrieve his quarry, before the Hand of the Archon can secure their prize. Kill Team: Soulshackle is a full expansion box for Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team, the ultimate sci-fi skirmish game. It includes miniatures for two complete new Kill Teams – the hardened elites of the Imperium’s Adeptus Arbites, and the scheming Drukhari who serve as the Hand of the Archon. They’re packed together with loads of space hulk terrain, which is fully compatible with that found in Kill Team: Into the Dark and Kill Team: Shadowvaults, along with transfers, a double-sided game board, and a rules manual including missions, background material exploring the mysterious setting, and full rosters for the two kill teams.
