The Hunt

A Dark Angels force tries to seize an enemy agent whose knowledge could advance the hunt for the Fallen. The mission rewards capturing the quarry alive rather than simply killing him, while special stratagems let the attacker prolong the engagement and the defender escape a dangerous melee.

Cult Firebrand

A flame-armed cult leader gives the Servants of the Abyss a commander who can inspire followers while threatening tightly grouped enemies. His profile translates the model’s aggressive role into a skirmish-game character rather than treating him as another ordinary cultist.

Chaos Cultists of the Abyss

The cultists bring their distinctive firearms and brutal close-range weapons into Kill Team. Their options let players use the Escalation miniatures together while preserving the differences between basic followers and better-equipped fighters.
