Spectral Space Marines and Ork Nobz Clash in New Kill Team Box

Key points

• The 'Kill Team: Armageddon' box set introduces the Legion of the Damned, a spectral faction of Space Marines, for the first time in physical form.
• The opposing team consists of elite Ork Boss Nobz, previously teased in the 'Codex: Orks' but now available in this boxed set.
• The Legion of the Damned features unique mechanics where they start slower than regular Space Marines but grow stronger as they solidify their connection to the material plane.
• The box includes new 'Killzone: Armageddon' terrain, featuring battle-worn bunkers, ruins, and a wrecked Redemptor Dreadnought.
• The set includes datacards and a dossier with rules and lore for both factions, set against the backdrop of the Armageddon campaign.

Background

This reveal is part of the 'Big Autumn Preview' event, which was anticipated to include new codexes and miniatures for various Warhammer games. The Legion of the Damned had previously existed only as lore, making this their first tangible release.

Why it matters

This release expands the Kill Team game line with a unique faction that offers a different gameplay experience compared to standard Space Marines, while also providing new terrain and lore for the popular Armageddon setting.

What to watch

Games Workshop plans to provide a closer look at the rules for both the Kill Team and Warhammer 40,000 versions of the Legion of the Damned closer to the release date.
