hey guys jay here welcome to eons of battle and games workshop has showed off a little bit of
information on the second season of kill team two it's not kill team three it's not kill team four
it's kill team two it comes right after kill team 2018 as you can see i'm a i'm a slight kill team
fan i don't know if you've noticed me and my natural habitats but i have really really been
enjoying new kill team it's so much fun kill team 2018 was just warhammer 8th edition but you don't
play with as many models like it was copy paste the same rules whereas this game is completely
built from the ground up alternate activation all sorts of fun stuff to make it a really really
interesting fun game to play and games workshop has just moved into the season two of this game
it doesn't really matter that it's season two like it's not like you had to buy
all or any of these boxes to play kill team and you also don't need to buy any of these boxes
that are coming in season 2 to play kill team but i am pretty excited for these so the original kill
team boxes all take place on different are on the same planet or the same similar planets in the
same sector and it was kind of cool at the time but now having looked at kill team season 2 this
seems rather rather lame with just games workshop names like octarus chalnath nachmund and mor
vic those are just names like the names you might read off of games workshop paint pots
it doesn't inspire but the new names kill team into the dark kill team shadow vaults
kill team soul shackle and kill team gallow fall like they sound like the titles of graphic novels
like it sounds like they're really pushing for something i mean kill team into the
dark you arrive at the space hulk and you move inside kill team shadow vaults you know you're
walking around and you find like some weird artifact some some weird hive of information
kill team soul shackle something goes really wrong with whatever was in the shadow vaults
and then gallow fall everything explodes the the ship is called the ship is called the gallow hawk
and gallow uh gallow fall just it all falls apart i love it it sound it really does
paint a picture that this is gonna be a neat story told over the course of these four boxes and
speaking of these four boxes the most important thing about these boxes is the new teams although
i am really excited about the terrain so for kill team terrain is really really important and
octerus did terrain really really well the octerus orc terrain is top tier kill team terrain
really really good all of the other boxes repurposed terrain from warhammer 40 000
which is fine some of them did it better than others i would say neckmund and
morock were a little bit better than chao math channel math had these big cathedrals
and it was a similar amount of plastic but it made for a lot less terrain like kill team needs a lot
of really small pieces of terrain and i'm really excited about these new boxes killed him into the
dark they showed off an absolute maze of terrain and it looks like so much fun to play on ah
just opening and closing doors breaching through walls closing doors on your opponents
the terrain looks like it's gonna be really really cool and in the article they talked about how
uh every box is gonna come with with kill team
with i think they said unique terrain unique kill team train which could mean that it's all
gonna be terrain design for kill team like kill team into the dark seems to be it could also mean
like yeah it's unique terrain like our models are very unique that's an adjective that we could use
so who knows but i would bet that all of it is going to feature similar modular kind of
criss-crossy maze-like terrain that i'm really really excited to get a chance to play on but
getting to the most important thing the miniatures new kill team has shown off that it is willing
to dig into the depths of like the games workshop old lore and resurrect things i mean the first
box had plastic krieg everybody and their moms and their dogs and their cats love the death
core of krieg and so seeing them resurrected in plastic is really really neat and we also
saw new or commandos basically the octarus box had two brand new things krieg and or commandos
and then every box since then has had one brand new thing and one slight upgraded old thing
um but the new box kill team into the into the dark does come with two brand new things it comes
with the new croot and the imperial navy breachers now it's we don't have that much data to go off of
it's impossible to know if the first box of every season is gonna have two new things and every box
after that is going to have one new thing and one reimagined old thing or if for kill team
season two they're gonna be cranking out lots of new stuff obviously i would prefer new stuff
and i would bet that we are going to get more new stuff because they're running out of factions like
they're running out of factions they've given a bunch of factions you know the kill team
box treatment and they've also given a bunch of factions extra rules in the magazine white dwarf
and so assuming that they don't redo any of those factions there's not a ton left they totally could
but i i bet we see kind of more unique new miniatures than reimagined old miniatures
especially since it seems like kill team is doing really well because it's actually a fun game that
doesn't cost an insane i mean if you do it like this it costs an insane amount but like if you
just buy some crude it's not that big a deal it's a lot of fun and they just posted the rules online
for free which is awesome but we're getting we're getting four boxes that means eight kill teams we
already know what the first two are the croots and the imperial navy breachers so what are the
others the other six new kilting factions going to be i have some hunches this is based off of my
crazy brain knowledge of games workshop and their entire catalog and history uh so really it's based
on nothing at all so first i am pretty sure that the kazarkin are gonna make an appearance in a
kill team box because they i said it before in another kill team video they're based exactly
how the the kill team models are based they've got the same exact ground with the same paint
and the same little crumbly bits of sand they look identical so the casserkin will definitely
be in a kill team box and i bet they're going to be fighting the squats yes the squats
the kazarkin are like hyper or not they're not hyper advanced but they're tactical
and the squats are also kind of tactical so i think that that might make for a fun pairing and
also the squats that they showed off they really you know the normal 10 man squat box really kind
of feels like a kill team box when kill team has reimagined units like the tau pathfinders you
know usually the tau pathfinders it's like nine identical dudes and then the tenth guy has got one
different gun but for kill team you want a lot of variety in those ten guys and so they they gave
an extra sprue that had new guns new hands new heads new legs so that you could get those variety
the new squats feel like they already have that variety built in you've got your guy with the
knife guy with the sniper guy with the special weapon leader like you've got all of those
characters there's even things that could be medic a demolitionist a calm specialist all of
those things that are kind of unique to kill team feel like they already exist in the squat model so
i could see those just you know coming out for 40k and come out in a kill team box at the same time
along with the casual candy because they're for kill team i bet they're for kill team
after that things got a little murkier i feel like i've got some pretty good reasons
to suspect those but after that i kind of just had to look at all of the all of the units that or all
of the factions that still have yet to get any attention any kill team attention and so i think
that the the factions that haven't really gotten any attention yet are necrons tyranids death guard
and granites i bet your granites continue to get nothing because that's how they've been for the
last 20 years so why stop now um death guard death guard are beloved but i also feel like
they get a lot of love from 40k and so i kind of don't expect them to get any new models next year
or you know the rest of the remainder of this year tyranids and necrons i could both see
getting some stuff especially tyranids tyranids uh don't tiernan's are like a really cool thing
from 40k that actually doesn't have that many models they have less than the orcs they have less
than the tier than the necrons they probably are similar to eldar and dark elder in terms of the
unit variety probably a little bit more but yeah i could totally see the tyranids or the necrons
getting stuff and so i think that the next box is going to have what a reimagined necron unit versus
the inquisition the inquisition is the perfect thing for kill team you've got a very powerful
leader followed by nine dudes who all have mixed loadouts and mixed specialties like
the kill team writes itself so obviously you've got an overdose xenos inquisitor
fighting some necrons and if gamesworkshop wanted to make me the happiest person ever
they would actually make a kill team specific unit called the necron pariahs yes bring back the old
evil necron experiment the necrons are immortal but they don't want to be they want their mortal
bodies back and so they've been a lot of evil experiments on living creatures to try to put
necrons necron necrotizer souls or necrotic essences back into living beings although i
think it's probably doomed to fail because the necrotizer are missing their souls and whatever a
soul is it's probably really important for putting your essence back into a living being
so yeah box number three is going to be inquisition versus the necrons and then
the final box the final box i have almost no good reason for thinking what i think is gonna come in
that box number four but it's going to be worth i can say this with 100 certainty it is going to be
new jean steelers versus primaris terminators it's going to be a reimagining of space hulk and the
reason i say this is because the jean steelers are in desperate need of a refresh it's getting
ridiculous at this point and every single day people ask me if they can take terminators and
kill team and i understand why you can't they don't really feel right kill team is all about
troops versus troops not you know there's only a hundred suits of power armor per space marine
chapter maybe why would one of these impossibly rare things show up to like steal a briefcase but
if games workshop wants to make some cash make the terminators available and kill team and if
you want to make some serious cash have them fight the jeans dealers and have the box be
art be very reminiscent of space hulk because space hulk is one of the most popular things that
games workshop has ever made so kill the last kill team and we have the name kill team gallow fall
so you know kill team shadow volts the kazarkin and the squats are causing a ruckus in the shadow
vaults and then in soul shackle the inquisition has shown up to try to quiet everything down
but they're facing opposition from the necron pariahs and then finally in kill team gallow fall
somebody has accidentally opened a door and billions of jean steelers have poured out of it
and so finally the terminators are here to just burn it all down that is my prediction for the
next season of kill team and i bet i get some of this right i have been hyper fixated on kill team
for almost basically a year now and so i bet some of my predictions come through
kill team is a really cool game but you know what else is really cool that's right
our patreon over there we have tons of stls and terrain to fill up your wargaming boards this
month we have a bound demon complete with ball gag and we also have some modular trenches ready
to crisscross your gaming boards we also have one extra episode of eons of battle every single week
where we go through viewers models and we give them some critiques and ideas of how to improve
and we also have merch link in the description i'm really excited for kill team season 2. i'm really
excited for kill team season 2. the first box looks amazing if the other boxes continue to be
amazing it should be a pretty wild time to be into baby 40k thanks for watching
