This week’s slate of releases for Kill Team is a big one, headlined by the long-teased Tomb World expansion. Games Workshop clearly wants to push the scale and spectacle of Kill Team further, and in doing so they’ve delivered a mix of impressive miniatures and a healthy chunk of terrain that’s worth talking about.
Kill Team: Tomb World
This box is the centerpiece, and it’s one of the strongest expansions we’ve seen in a while.
On the Deathwatch side, you’re getting a kit with tons of customization options—different Chapter shoulder pads, helmeted and bare heads, and a wide array of gear. It’s the kind of box that rewards hobbyists who love sprinkling unique Chapter identities into their squads, and it nails the “elite strike team” feel that defines the Deathwatch.
The opposing Canoptek Circle is an interesting twist: a Cryptek leading her entourage of mechanical horrors, including Tomb Crawlers and hulking constructs. The models lean into the strange, skeletal insect aesthetic Necron players know well, but the variety within the Circle is where the strength lies. They look different enough from the typical Necron lineup to stand out as a specialized team while still meshing with a wider Necron force.
The terrain is equally notable—walls, pillars, sarcophagi, teleport pads, and scatter that give a proper claustrophobic tomb feel. For players who love thematic tables, this is a huge win.
Kill Team: Battleclade
The Adeptus Mechanicus Battleclade set brings Servitors front and center, and while they don’t have the same immediate wow factor as the Tomb World teams, there’s a lot of cleverness in the design. The Servitor Underseer and Technoarchaeologist have strong character, and the Servitors themselves are highly modular—you can field gun platforms, melee brutes, or specialists. If you enjoy the grimy, utilitarian look of AdMech, this set will click for you.
Kill Team: Raveners
Tyranid fans get a treat here with the Raveners kit. These models are a standout, sculpted with a real sense of speed and viciousness. The biomorph options—Wrecker, Tremorscythe, Venomspitter—make the kit versatile, and they’re dynamic enough to double up well in a standard 40k Tyranid swarm. For anyone who remembers the older Ravener sculpts, this is a massive upgrade that finally gives them the menace they deserve.
Killzone Upgrade: Tyranid Infestation (Direct Only)
This smaller upgrade set is packed with character. The scatter terrain—gestation sacs, brood nests, spore vents, capillary towers—adds that creeping, organic feel to a battlefield. It’s great for breaking up industrial or imperial terrain with something truly alien. The catch? It’s Direct Only, so you won’t find it on shelves at your FLGS. Worth grabbing if you’re a Tyranid player or enjoy themed Killzone boards.
Repackaged Kits – Sisters Novitiates & Ork Kommandos
Both of these returning kits are being repackaged into the main Warhammer 40,000 range. The Sisters Novitiates still make for an excellent, characterful squad—zealous, young recruits bursting with unique sculpts. The Ork Kommandos remain one of the most popular Ork kits in years, with loads of personality and conversion potential. Neither is new, but their staying power says enough about their design quality.
Final Thoughts
This is a strong release wave. Tomb World is easily the standout, pairing excellent Deathwatch customization with unique Necron models and terrain that makes games feel cinematic. The Raveners are a close second—finally giving Tyranid players the dynamic kit they’ve been waiting for. The Battleclade is more niche but solid, while the Tyranid Infestation Killzone (Direct Only) is a flavorful add-on for terrain collectors.
If you’re looking for big value and centerpiece models, Tomb World is the buy of the week.
