While armies numbering millions clash on battlefields spread across a thousand worlds, specialised teams of elite operatives are dispatched on dangerous missions to accomplish vital objectives from the shadows. These kill teams, as they are known, are picked from the most capable and independent of their kind, using strange and esoteric skills to achieve what a mighty army could not. The new edition of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team has been redesigned from the ground up as the greatest tabletop skirmish experience yet, seeing teams of experienced operatives engage in vicious close-quarters combat as they race to complete their missions. In this book you'll find the complete rules for playing Kill Team as well as a host of missions to embark on, lore covering the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium, and insight on the factions vying for dominance among the shadows. The Book This 144-page book is the ultimate companion for kill team commanders, containing all the knowledge you need to collect, build, paint, and play in the world of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. Ten Thousand Years of War The book opens with a summary of the 41st Millennium’s history, including details on the Imperium’s massive military might and the forces they encounter in their ceaseless wars across the galaxy. It also introduces kill teams, the squads players command in the course of the game, and details their continued deployment across myriad war zones throughout the galaxy. Core Rules The first rules section contains the core concepts you need to start fighting battles in Kill Team, including the tools required, phases of play, and operative datasheets. Killzones Here you'll find rules and guidance on how terrain interacts with your games, including example board arrangements, as well as rules governing movement around, over, and through your scenery. Ways to Play Once you've got the basics squared away, find out all about the three core ways to play the game and the missions you can undertake. Open Play A free-form style of play suitable for those new to Kill Team, and a perfect place to practice in a relaxed mission environment. It’s not just for newer players, though, as experienced commanders can use the included mission creation rules to craft thematic and expansive games fit for the most hardened veterans. Matched Play As the most mechanically balanced style of play, matched play games are a chance for commanders to pit themselves against their opponents in battles of tactical skill and turn-by-turn decisions. With each kill team using only the core weapons and equipment on their datasheet, players will need to plan ahead to outsmart their foe and claim victory. Spec Ops Narrative Play The narrative campaigns detailed in the brand new Spec Ops rules allow you to take your kill team from a band of raw recruits to experienced veterans, earning accolades and special skills along the way. As teams complete objectives and earn rewards – even against opponents not participating in a Spec Ops campaign – decisions made will impact the future of your operatives and turn regular games into a rich narrative experience full of cinematic moments. Critical Operations Mission Pack A selection of 9 exciting missions designed to be balanced for matched play games, but equally playable in open play and Spec Ops narrative play games. Tac Ops A suite of selectable secondary objectives used across a number of mission types. Tac Ops are hidden from your opponent, so commanders can decide on their strategy ahead of time while watching out for their foe’s actions on the battlefield. Appendix The book closes out with a handy reference section packed with special rules and abilities, as well as an overview of the different tokens, counters, and accessories used in games of Kill Team.

There is a rot in the heart of Anvilgard. While the Anvils of the Heldenhammer looked outward, a cabal of Aelven outcasts has taken root within the city.

The Coil has used coercion, bribery, and violence to gain a stranglehold on the city. Even the Grand Conclave that is supposed to govern Anvilgard seems to have been infiltrated by the Coil, making it impossible to know who to trust.

Aether-powered Kharadron sky-ships soar through the clouds, Corsair wolf-ships cut through the waves armed with monster-hunting harpoons, and helblaster volley guns erupt from the walls of the Free Cities. The cogs of war are ever-turning, and the Mortal Realms are in need of talented smiths.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar Steam and Steel presents everything you need to begin crafting your own weapons, armour, and machines of war.
This book contains new aetheric equipment for the Kharadron, new Fyreslayer runes, new weapons and crafting rules, alchemy and potion making, and rules for vehicular combat along with dozens of example ships and war machines. Not only that, but Steam and Steel explores what crafting means to cultures across the Mortal Realms — for some it is simply a job, for others it reflects a lifelong devotion to their deity.
Steam and Steel is perfect for players looking to create their own equipment, and for GMs who are looking to bring ship-to-ship combat and large-scale vehicular destruction to their game!

The Mortal Realms are besieged. Packs of savage beasts stalk the wilderness. Parades of disquiet dead stirred by baleful magics haunt the nights, enacting terrible vengeance upon the living. Hordes of Orruks, Grots, and Gargants rampage unchecked, driven by little more than destruction and despoilment for their own amusement. And the innumerable servants of the Ruinous Powers that once brought about the end of the world take root wherever mortals tread. The realms are rocked by never-ending conflict and nowhere is truly safe…
The Mortal Realms are filled with countless strange creatures and monstrous beasts. The Warhammer Age of Sigmar Soulbound Bestiary provides a vast collection of these great and terrible foes to use in your Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Soulbound adventures, and gives GMs advice on how best to build exciting encounters with these monstrous and maniacal foes.
The Soulbound Bestiary contains
Over 180 terrifying new foes to use in your Soulbound campaign, including some of the most iconic creatures from Warhammer Age of Sigmar — from the reality-warping Tzeentchian Lord of Change, to the merciless Knight of Shrouds, to the awe-inspiring Kraken-eater Mega-Gargant.
Gamemaster advice on building exciting and memorable encounters, and how to use Doom to give an extra edge to these conflicts.
Detailed descriptions of each creature and faction, including advice on using them in your game, their tactics in combat, and rumours reflecting what the people of the Mortal Realms know of them, some of which may be less than reliable!
