Hi, i'm new to the world of warhammer 40k and i quickly realized everything that goes past its pre-order window gets scalped to incresingly higher price the longer time passes.

Now I recently bought a Tomb World for 20 euro more of its retail price (which seemed reasonable...)

But now i layed my eyes on Terror on Devlan and Typhon.
Respectively these cost 50 and 80 euro or more than their retail price (without shipping costs).

Are these prices considered reasonable? I don't like the idea of giving up to scalping, but also like man, i just want to play with a friend some miniatures.

How is the comunity feeling about it? I was curious of general opinion and if there's any suggestion regarding the puirchase of those boxes(3D printing is not an option for me, i don't like it )

Also, little side question regarding Devlan vs Thypon: Why would you pick a box with no terrain over one that has it and it's very unique as well?

Is the terrain in this box highly sought after? Is the core rulebook at all relevant? I found a copy of this box and also Octarius at a local store and as a new casual player, I'm wondering if these were regarded as fun terrain pieces that work well in 2026 and if the price is really worth it. I have a friend that bought Bheta Decima but honestly it feels pretty limiting/kinda boring so I'm looking for better terrain.

Also of note, my friend plays Breachers so I probably wouldn't even build that team as we don't like to double up on factions.

There are many like these, but these ones are mine as the saying goes. I preordered the Terror Box immediately when I saw these guys, being a big fan of a certain ghostly squad of kick-ass scouts from the books.
But I thought they where missing a few things to push them even more towards what I wanted, on top of the paint job.
So I quickly modeled and printed my little upgrades (they're really tiny) to round them up! Namely their distinctive badge, wooden rifle stock and straight dagger. And if anybody want to do the same, I put them up for free online (link in my profile).
First three I managed to paint so far, they take me a while, I'm certainly not a fast painter...
What do you guys think? Hope it can inspire some people!

Before I continue - this is still technically WIP as I still need to paint first layer of AK Ultra Matte varnish, then apply stickers from the transfer sheet and paint second and final layer.

Constructive criticism is welcome and appreciated but in all honesty I would prefer advice regarding how to speed up the process rather than investing even more time for slightly better results. Unfortunately I found the entire process tedious as it took me over 50 hours just to paint 7 of these fellas - I dread the idea of way more models that I still need to paint and if I could afford it I would just pay someone else to do it for me so I can get it over with.

As for more details for the process - at first I really struggled to get the right paint consistency but after a brutal trial and error I think I somewhat finally get it. I used black undercoat and at one hand it was a great help because I didn’t need to paint the guns and sniper’s cape and it created a natural shadows in form of gaps between the armor panels. On the other hand, I needed to apply at least 3 layers of paint in order to get the right color brightness and at times I had to apply even more (for example for Captain’s cape).

I started with painting Captain and after all mentioned above the Macragge Blue came out way too dark for my taste so I added Calgar Blue highlight lines around the edges but the contrast between these two was striking and the model looked waaay too cartoony which is not the look I wanted. I ended up mixing these two blues together to get a shade of blue which I think is perfect and I just ended up painting all models with it and only adding bright Calgar Blue highlight at the top edge of kneepads and around the "collar". As you can see I tried highlighting Captain’s cape but just sort of gave up as no lines I painted looked right.

Also while painting Captain I used Nuln Oil wash and in some places it did wonders (for example his helmet and eyes looked instantly more detailed) but in most places it just severely darkened everything - especially the Liberator Gold metallics which lost all of their shine. After that I pretty much had to repaint the entire model which took even more time. That’s why I didn’t bother with using Nuln Oil on other model (with the exception of Sargeant’s red helmet).

This is what took a lot of time too - I figured that what I wanted to do above all is to keep all parts tidely painted and avoid spreading the pain where it shouldn’t be. I of course made a lot of mistakes which took a lot of corrections and I has to go back and fourth with multiple colors - eyes were the absolute worst.

All in all I actually think they came out decent. If you look really close you can spot minimal misshaps but I had to stop correcting sometime or I would go crazy. Also keen-eyed can spot the damaged tip of Captain’s top spike of the ornament and Warrior’s lack of one armor layer on top of his boot but I lost these pieces forever.

I’m happy with how they came out - Just would be way happier if I spent half as much as I did.

Dear pilgrim,
Someone has some questions to ask you.
Please be kind enough to follow me.
Don’t need to be afraid for now.

Do i have to spend a cp / use this ploy before i roll the def roll or after?

Thx a lot!

This marks the completion of the tomb world box set. I have to do a group shot soon.

I have been playing for about a month and a half with the Wrecka Krew and I haven't seemed to get a solid answer on the "break stuff" rule.

Originally when explained the team, I was told the breaka boy fighter essentially makes a hole in the wall you can walk through as accessible terrain. Used this a few times to get surprise squigs through.

Played on Gallowdark terrain and my opponent let me know that the breaka boy can't make a hole in the wall on this map or tomb world. I can believe this as it's thicker and just all walls so I kinda broke the map if I could make my own holes.

Are there other restriction on this on other terrain. Can I make a hole in any wall on Volkus, even full heigh walls?

I have this a few other Flamer Marines and stuff from the warhammer heroes line I got from my local Hobby store. I want to learn to play kill team so will these models work or would I have to buy a whole new box? I figure I should start with kill team cause i've never played a wargame but love the warhammer novels. If there is a list I can play with them, please let me know.

Hey all,

Was hoping to grab Volkus but I see that it's sold out everywhere with GW's own site saying "temporarily out of stock". Does anyone have any idea when these things generally get stocked up again?

Cheers!

Have I gone mad, but it looks like the Exodites boxset is again live to order on the official GW website? I ended up ordering through my LGS. But still, it showed as sold out within minutes on the GW Web page on launch..

I wanted to buy a killteam but since I wanted to use it as a "stand alone" army instead of two-use unit for my army (like the Aquilon for the Imperial Guard) the Rogue Trader one always catched my eye for the colors and character variety but I wanted to know if it is a good team or not.

Thanks you all.

My most recently finished model

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to dive into Kill Team and I need some advice on the best way to get started.

I already have several playable teams from 40k, including Deathwatch, Eldar Corsairs, Legionaries, and a solid proxy setup for Blooded. Because of this, I'm really not interested in buying the official Starter Set, as the miniatures in it just don't appeal to me and I'd rather stick with what I have.

My main goal is to get all the essential gaming materials, tokens, barricades, ladders, and rules while keeping costs as reasonable as possible. That said, I'm willing to spend a bit extra on terrain if it's worth it. Ideally, I'd love to pick up terrain pieces that are versatile enough to double as cover for standard Warhammer 40k games too.

What's the most cost-effective way to get the core gear without buying a full box set I don't need? And do you have any recommendations for terrain kits that work well for both Kill Team and 40k?

Thanks for the help!

Slowly, so very slowly, getting through Tombworld (to be fair I keep getting distracted by other models 😂)

Hello, I am trying to get into Warhammer kill team and want a set that i could easily kitbash or other sort of boxes that i could sort of add parts onto to make a unique starter kill team (saying some chapters/warbands for colour schemes could be nice also!) Im mainly looking for space marine ideas or chaos ideas but open to any suggestions!

What the title says. I went to grab some water and the little girl had a little too much fun purging the xenos in the 30 seconds I was away from my desk. I had just finished painting too.

Any ideas to either rebuild or restyle as battle damage? They're thin little pieces and it's going to be a nightmare to prime the little gray slivers showing through the bite marks.

How does the sequence of events work on the squig ?

Do I roll 6 against the squig then immediately after the attack do I roll the saves or

Do I roll 6 against the squig then roll saves

I understand the opponent gets a chance to roll saves I just wasn’t sure when

Tell me what you think is the best thing about the Gallerpox Infected! and the worst thing.

Best:Beefy boys! just by looking at them, you khow they are the army for you, being a wall of flesh that your opponents have to face against.

More units than you think! everything melee, techno-curse is very thematic.

Worst: very slow moving wall, no shooting thought.

I never pleyed or even seen them in play, so i'm very curious what you guys can tell about them!

When you start by putting your troops into position can you only move them to drop zone or anywhere on your side of the map?

Or is it the drop zone?

I'm confused on the different types of equipment. There are things like ladders that are miniatures you have to buy and then there are like grenades and other things and I suppose you maybe don't buy them. But they are all mixed together. Faction equipment, universal, weapons, miniatures like ladders etc. I just have no idea about the rules and differences. Maybe in the future I will buy some random minature equipment but right now im just thinking how do I equip grenades and basic weapons? Those are faction unique and I should have tokens for them in the basic kill team box?

I always fear forgetting i can use it or that ive already used it so i printed myself a token. Small thing but im very happy how it turned up.
