Warhammer 40K Kill Team: Hivestorm has reignited my love of the skirmish wargame, so I had my fingers crossed that it'd get a price cut for Prime Day. Lo and behold: a discount hath appeared. Praise the Emperor!
You can currently pick up the game's latest edition for $191.50 at Amazon rather than $230, and even though it's not listed as a deal, you'd normally be paying almost $40 more for the starter set (in the UK its £121.45 at Zatu instead of the usual £145.) In fact, I'm struggling to find it for less anywhere else. If you want Warhammer 40K Kill Team: Hivestorm for as little as possible, I don't think you can do much better.
Should you buy Warhammer 40K Kill Team: Hivestorm?
I've been a fan of Kill Team for a little while now, and out of all Warhammer's game systems, it might be the one that's grabbed me the most in recent years - it's quick, and easy to get into. Crucially for the time-starved among us, it doesn't require you to paint up a massive army. Rather than dozens of troops, you're controlling tight-knit bands of warriors instead that rarely number more than 10.
Hivestorm introduces the most recent version of the game, and I think it's made plenty of improvements on an already good formula. The value present here is impressive, too; alongside the full core rulebook and two Kill Teams (the jetpack-wielding Tempestus Aquilons and insectoid Vespid Stingwings), you're getting accessories, tokens, a scenario book, and enough terrain to fill a board. There's literally everything you need to play in here, and Kill Team: Hivestorm might be the best starter set Warhammer has made, if you ask me. I really don't have much I can criticise it for beyond its MSRP, and that's obviously been chipped away at via this deal.
