Kill Team: Brutal and Cunning

The Orks of the Wrecka Krew love to blow things up, their scrap armour protecting them from incoming fire and their own shrapnel. They’re on a mission to break into Hive Fissilicus and the Undermuzzle Barrens, but ragtag bands of Ratlings have been dispatched to run interference. Small, eagle-eyed, and always able to find time for a snack, the abhumans use their wits and marksman skills to keep the enemy at arms length.

Kill Team: Brutal and Cunning contains two kill teams. The Wrecka Krew is made up of a Boss Nob, five Orks, and two Bomb Squigs, while there are 10 Ratling operatives and a battlemutt lead by a Ratling Fixer. It also includes Killzone Upgrade: Compound Siege, comprising two bunkers, six fire steps and six stockades for use with Killzone: Volkus. The 72-page softback Brutal and Cunning dossier is packed with lore for the mission and kill teams, plus rules for the Wrecka Krew and Ratlings, and the Volkus Compound Mission Pack contains PvP and PvE scenarios. You’ll also get all the datacards and tokens you need for both kill teams, as well as an Ork transfer sheet with 438 transfers.
