Games Workshop have previewed their new and forthcoming Kill Team set, Dead Silence.
Available soon, this new addition to the Kill Team catalogue pitches those perennial 40k favourites, the Space Wolves, against the not-so-favourites, pseudo-manga Tau. An expansion rather than a start set, it ‘builds on the Tomb World killzone’ by adding ‘more teams, more hazards, and a new narrative campaign’; this campaign can be played ‘both competitively and co-operatively’.
Two brand new teams are included in the box set: Tau and Space Wolves. The Tau are rocking their brand new XV26 battlesuits; which allow them to not only render themselves ‘almost completely invisible’ but also power some serious firepower…
…And they’ll need it, because the veteran Space Wolf Wolf Scouts are not only equipped with plasma weapons and frost-rimmed combat blades, but they’re also backed by Rune Priest Skjalds; these battle psykers are able to call upon elemental storms which’ obscure their advance and batter enemy operatives with wind, hail, and lightning’.
These new teams are detailed in the Kill Team: Dead Silence Dossier. This book features ‘background lore and information’ for each team, examines their objectives and analyses their capabilities. It also includes full rules for the Tau Stealth Battlesuits and Wolf Scouts, as well as an extensive new campaign system; this system has been designed to be played ‘co-operatively, competitively, and even solo’.
See the Games Workshop website for more details.

A detailed tabletop scene showcases a Kill Team game setup featuring miniatures from the Space Wolves and Tau factions. In the foreground, a Space Wolf in blue armor stands beside a green, ornate tomb-like structure, while two Tau in XV26 battlesuits are positioned nearby, ready for action. The backdrop includes intricately designed walls with glowing green accents and a hovering drone, creating a sci-fi atmosphere within a Tomb World killzone.
The image showcases two distinct teams from the new Kill Team set, Dead Silence. On the left, the Space Wolves are represented by two models: one is a veteran equipped with plasma weapons and a frost-rimmed combat blade, while the other is a Wolf Scout holding a rifle. On the right, the Tau team features several XV26 battlesuits, characterized by their sleek, white armor with blue accents, alongside a support drone. The background is a textured dark surface, enhancing the focus on the detailed miniatures.
