I actually wouldn't mind seeing maybe some of the old style 2nd edition plastic hybrid kits like the old school Necromunda stuff, just with the card bits replaced with MDF, would be nice to have some more affordable and portable terrain for gaming on the go :D

Definitely more interested in the minis than anything, especially as someone who is somewhat interested in getting some death guard to add to a chaos army. The basic space marines are nice, too. Personally I like the sculpted bases, means all I have to do is either paint them or put a texture paint on before I prime them. Probably a toss up between the heavy and the captain for worst out of the lot, honestly; not a fan of the hardcore UM looking powerfist but that heavy bolter looks so damn naked without the power cord running to the backpack If you don’t like the MDF terrain, donate it to a gaming club, group, or a friend. Such a first world issue to complain about, it’s a starter set.
@amaximus1672 ай бұрын
The only problem I have with the bases is having the model's feet sculpted on. Makes it a lot harder to rebase when the model is missing feet.

Me too! I hope the established players who are complaining about the price really stay away from purchasing it so some copies can be left over for new people during the holiday season! It seems like the people who are loudest about specific box pricing are the ones who have 3 unopened Leviathan boxes collecting dust. Then they wonder why scalpers have an easy time on Ebay -_- Personally, I've been having a lot of fun with this starter box :D I haven't built anything from hivestorm, but got it on release. I've built and played all of this starter box already. At this point, it frustrates me when people review this box through the lens of what value it offers long-time players or deep-rules players. Man, I just want to play some Killteam with friends and family this Christmas. This box will be awesome to introduce them to the game.

The MDF terrain looks amazing! Given how much of typical 40k boards are just ruined L shapes anyway, I would love for them to really expand this line of terrain. It would be so easy to elevate the look of them as well. Put some black along the edges to get rid of the brown wood look (I'd just use a wide permanent marker), sponge on some brown along the bottom, and then hit it with a coat of matt varnish to take off that shine it has and you'd end up with something that looks nicer than the majority of terrain out there on tables!

I’m no corporate shill, and I definitely think they’re overpriced. But, to be fair, it’s not JUST plastic. They’re really high quality and an artist had to make these models from scratch. Even if the material is cheap, a lot of specialized work went into making them.
@OldManRogers2 ай бұрын
They're charging 50 for 3 saurus for warcry.. the prices are insane. 40k is almost as much as a console and you have to clean assemble and paint it all plus spend another 50 on rules and stuff. I'm leaning into infinity with it's new edition out next month. E150 is a full army with options and the rules are good, balanced and free and so is the app

As far as minis they are nice minis, the rules stuff I find Kill Team very off putting after all how many new rules have we had in a couple of years 3? I like the idea of Kill Teams a fun good skirmish game. But as far as price not worth it GW has the most over priced products in the wargaming space by far... and keep going up as plastic making is cheaper now than it was 20 years ago.

This would have been brilliant in a 12x16 box at around 45GBP. Instead it has a nonsensical price for a retail-shelf board game and nonsensical content as a proper Kill Team "Starter." It's priced the same as the WH40K Starter, but it has ~30% of the plastic. Unlike the 40K Starter, it has INCOMPLETE CORE RULES for Kill Team. GW omitted like the 4-odd pages for Terrain, Equipment, and Tac Ops. So if you want to play the Base Game of Kill Team not only do you need the Universal Equipment from the $35 accessories kit, but you also need a $65 Rulebook to get those 4 stupid pages of rules GW is omitting. You'll probably also need the Approved Ops Card Pack. In the end, if you start with this box and then add the MINIMUM augments, you'll pay as much as Kill Team: Hivestorm - and have Less Models and No Plastic Terrain. This is just a box for old-school Kill Team players who are missing some of the Gatcha models and for hard-core game evangelists that want a Demo Kit. I'd never recommend this box to a New Player looking to get into Kill Team - wasted opportunity.
@SomeRandomJackAss2 ай бұрын
Perfectly articulated. I hate that so many (mainly British) videos on this are acting like this is a steal because the minis were hard to find and the MDF terrain is a new thing for GW. This should be the same price as Combat Arena or Space Marine Adventures!

@MandrewlochnerАй бұрын
I think you've got it all wrong. Many new players are uninterested in having equipment to worry about at all. Your opinion on this excellent starter box is obviously posed from a perspective of having played the full game already. This is for new players, not you. Although, the price isn't bad per miniature. I have Hivestorm and haven't built the terrain, but I got the Starter Set yesterday and have been playing with all of the models that come in the box. I've been at Killteam for about 2 months and it STILL is a lot to wrap my mind around for a single session against myself. This is a STARTER SET. It is advertised as what it delivers and you assessment of it is unfair at best, and conceited at worst. You mention the box size, the price, compare it to monopoly, and argue it doesn't meet a "proper" standard for a Killteam "Starter". You compare it to the 40k starter, arguing it offers less plastic, yet the 40k starter offers much less of its game than the Killteam starter. TLDR your take is less than trash. I bet you just bought Nurgle Heroes a few months ago and now you're sour it's a cheap model set XD
