It's not out yet. Up for pre order but not available until next week. I liked Kill Team way back in 3rd/4th edition times when Schaffers Last Chancers were really a thing. I'd be up for trying some Kill Team games for sure. I'll be picking up the ebook next week.

I'm definitely down for some kill team. And maybe this way I'll get an actual rulebook...

If you have the old digital edition from 6th, its getting updated to the 7th edition for free.

Did anybody ever play the Heralds of Ruin kill team? I tried it once and it was pretty great. How does that compare to GW's kill team rules?

I have been playing the Heralds of Ruin Kill Team for a little while now with a friend of mine, also we were considering doing a campaign for the game. Right now we are just trying out the normal campaign rules for the HoR's version. I never played the original GW version, which wasn't great from what I heard, but I am curious on this newer version. When it does come out, I might just grab a book instead, seeing its only a few dollars more than the digital ($10). |

Compared to the 6th edition ruleset for Kill Team, HoR is much better. In GW's Kill Team you purchase full squads and use the rules as presented in the Codex. Personally, I prefer HoR's style where you can take any combination of models and have specific "Kill Team" relics and gear. HoR just seemed more balanced, but we will have to see how the 7th edition works. |

Considering that the Kill Team book is only like 32 pages, I have the feeling that the force organization is going to make you purchase full squads. HoR had like full supplements for each faction. (Not to be a downer, cause I'm definitely excited for this. Plus, it is a pretty accessible starter set for new people.) |

Yeah got the book and played a couple of simple matches with some friends of mine who are new to the game. They enjoyed it a lot. We neglected one rule of the game to give your leader his "warlord" trait and the 3 specialists traits,purely for simplicity. Other than that it wasn't bad. You are right though, Eric (tyranids) you have to buy whole squads as if you are playing a regular game.
Restructions:
1) no 2+ armor models
2) only able to pick at Max 1 elite and fast attack
3) troop are maxed at 2 squads.
4) only 200 points.
Vehicles have a restrictions as well but I can't remember at the top of my head. Also every model is his only unit! Other than that it's not as good as heralds of ruin, but I'm hoping to get a couple more games in with the traits included (and not against people completely new to 40k.)
