About this expansion

Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team – Elites is a 2019 expansion for 2–4 players, with games lasting around 60 minutes. This 144-page softback book adds elite operatives, new commanders, faction rules, and missions to the Kill Team experience.

The expansion introduces 67 new datasheets, covering a wide range of special operatives and Commanders. These include Space Marines in Terminator armour, the deadly Aspect Warriors of the Asuryani, and unique Commanders such as Illic Nightspear, Boss Snikrot, and the legendary Sly Marbo.
