Kill Team: Shadowhunt adds dual-level maps and new squads to refresh skirmish

Gamesradar reports that Kill Team's Shadowhunt expansion introduces dual-level maps and two new squads, offering a distinct change of pace for the skirmish game.

The pack includes the Celestian Insidiants, Sisters of Battle models whose rules feature a 'Martyrdom' effect that inspires allies, nullify psychic attacks, and offer a Strategic Ploy to mark foes with Suspicion. It also adds the Murderwing, Chaos Space Marine Raptors that use jump packs to 'Boost' across the battlefield, snatch opponents, pin them down, reduce actions through intimidation, and follow story beats that grant boons or banes. The set's headline feature is two half-size boards representing surface and underground areas—bringing together the Hivestorm city-scape and tight Tomb World corridors—allowing operatives to move between levels and forcing players to split focus. The maps also include Necron sentries that can attack both players and a C'tan Shard that can serve as a season 'final boss.'

The expansion is up for pre-order now and, if previous releases are any indication, is likely to sell out fast; the piece recommends checking Miniature Market in the US and Wayland Games in the UK and refers readers to a where-to-buy guide. The author concludes that Kill Team continues to keep the game fresh, even if it increases the number of models waiting to be painted.
