Facing the Red Terror: how Kill Team handles a tank-sized Tyranid menace

Kill Team introduces the Red Terror, a tank-sized Tyranid boss whose rules hinge on a special datacard that toggles between Hunt and Lurk states. When hunted it unleashes brutal attacks, but if wounded it can flip to Lurk, tunnel underground, and regenerate. Its influence is governed by a 13-card Activation Deck that determines which enemy activates each turn; exploiting the little NPOs (Termagants and a Ripper Swarm) can slow the boss by skipping activations. In many missions you won’t simply kill it; you’ll stall, distract, or retreat to complete objectives, with the Terror at Devlan campaign linking multiple scenarios (like On the Trail) into a branching Kill Team narrative playable by any team.
