THE SHORT VERSION

Explorers must rescue a Jokaero whose absence has halted medical help from Sawbone Station.

Stand Firm

A defending force holds a frontline while its rearguard and supporting fire resist a superior attacker. The mission supplies asymmetric deployment, limits on deployment tricks and additional stratagems, creating a desperate stand that can represent an evacuation or any battle in which buying time matters more than territorial gain.

A Mysterious Menace

The Archivist enters Kill Team as an independent third-party threat rather than a conventional kill team. Deployment and behaviour rules let the Zoat disrupt rival operatives while pursuing its own objectives, and a profile translates its atomic disassembler, eradicator glove and unsettling presence into skirmish combat.

The Shrouded Sanctum

Two coalitions contest an exposed Stormvault in Ulgu: Stormcast and Idoneth guardians against Nurgle and Gloomspite despoilers. The bespoke battleplan uses reinforcements, objective scoring and faction-specific hidden ploys, allowing allies to cooperate while retaining their own reasons for claiming the relic within.
