Defend the Great Gun: A Deep Dive into Kill Team: Typhon Expansion

Kill Team fans, the wait is finally over! The highly anticipated expansion, Kill Team: Typhon, is here, bringing a fresh and thrilling narrative to the tabletop. With new terrain, intense missions, and a deadly Tyranid threat, Typhon promises to take your gameplay experience to new heights. In this blog post, we’ll dive into the details of this explosive expansion, explore its mechanics, and show you why it’s a must-have for Kill Team players.

What’s New in Kill Team: Typhon?

Set on the war-torn world of Volkus, Kill Team: Typhon drops players into an intense battlefield where various factions collide. The T’au Empire is invading, Orks are scheming to steal the Massif Ballistus, and Chaos cults run rampant across the surface. But the biggest threat comes from beneath the sands—an incoming Tyranid invasion that threatens the planet’s very existence.

In this dire situation, it falls to the Adeptus Mechanicus to protect the Great Gun, a massive weapon capable of turning the tide of battle. As planetary forces and pilgrims are already fully engaged elsewhere, it’s up to a handful of Adeptus Mechanicus tech-priests and servitors to face the horrors of the Tyranid swarm.

Elite Tyranid Raveners: Fearsome Predators

The Tyranid forces bring a truly terrifying new element to Kill Team: Typhon. The Raveners—elite, burrowing Tyranid warriors—are poised to strike with deadly precision. With only five operatives on the battlefield, each Ravener is a highly dangerous and cunning predator. Their unique tunneling ability allows them to appear in unexpected places, creating chaos for their enemies. The Raveners’ ferocious strength in close combat makes them formidable opponents that will keep players on their toes.

The loss of even a single Ravener can be a devastating blow to your force, making every decision and move incredibly important. These ruthless creatures, known for their tactical intelligence, will add an exciting new challenge for both experienced and new Kill Team players.

Adeptus Mechanicus: Servitors to the Rescue

On the other side of the battlefield, the Adeptus Mechanicus must hold the line with their legions of servitors. Usually surrounded by Skitarii warriors, the tech-priests have assembled a unique force in Kill Team: Typhon. Servitors, mindless yet efficient drones, will flood the battlefield with gunfire, overwhelming the Tyranid threat.

What makes the servitors so deadly is their noospheric network—a shared consciousness that allows them to support one another with advanced tactics. This makes them more versatile, even without the elite Skitarii at their side. By channeling their collective power, they can execute complex maneuvers and provide superior fire support in their efforts to protect the Great Gun.

New Terrain and Joint Operations

Kill Team: Typhon also introduces Tyranid-infested terrain pieces, which add an extra layer of strategy to your battles. The alien influence has twisted the landscape, creating new hazards and challenges that will test your tactical skills. Players will need to adapt to the shifting environment as they plan their movements and engage the enemy.

Additionally, this expansion expands on the popular Joint Ops co-operative rules. The new missions offer exciting ways to play Kill Team with multiple factions working together or against each other in increasingly complex scenarios. With new rules for Tyranid beasties and a deep dive into their tactics, players can expect an entirely fresh experience every time they hit the tabletop.
