Games Workshop continue to preview their new Kill Teams this week, and now the spotlight shines on the Xenos. There are eight new Xenos teams, making it the broadest selection previewed so far. Today we're going to take a (brief) look at four of these new teams.
The Eldar / Aeldari have remained a fan-favourite since the RT04 Space Elves debuted in 1987. They've now been updated yet again for the new edition of Kill Team.
We previewed Games Workshop's new Blood Angels last week, and now the big Gee-Dubya have revealed their new Blood Angels Army Set will be available for pre-order this forthcoming Saturday.
The set will contain a full complement of Blood Angel Death Company warriors. As you'd expect, there are a number of different options for each miniature, including a choice of either a death mask-style helmet or unhelmeted heads, encarmine blades or spears, and angelus boltgun or inferno pistol. You can also pimp one of your new Blood Angels with a Sanguinary Banner.

Another day, another preview from Games Workshop. This time they're stylin' and profilin' with the new Kill Team: Hivestorm box set.
An article released today on the Warhammer site describes Hivestorm as 'a whole new edition of Kill Team' which pits two teams of Tempestus Aquilon and Vespid Stingwings against one another. These squads are represented by a host of dynamic, multi-part plastic miniatures.
The box set includes a softback edition of the updated rules (with a hardback version due for release later in the year). This book contains 'Updated rules [that] make it even easier to pit your squad of elite specialists against the best the galaxy has to offer.' The changes to rules are said to be 'clearer and easier to read than ever before', and the rulebook also sports 'design notes and examples [...] to clarify any tricky situations that might occur'.
Also included in the box set, the Kill Team: Hivestorm Dossier contains rules for the Tempestus Aquilon and Vespid Stingwing kill teams, as well as missions and background materials. There's also a wealth of plastic barricades, barbed wire obstacles, ladders, smoke grenades and plastic range markers.
And, just in case you wanted a bit more bang for your buck, the box set will include a pack of Approved Ops cards and two sheets of cardboard counters.
Needless to say, Tabletop Sentinel will bring you all the latest and tastiest Kill Team news just as soon as it breaks.
