You have to be stealthy to avoid awakening a Tomb World. The latest Kill Team box, Dead Silence, attempts to do just that, pitting the stealth specialists of the T’au Empire against the veteran Wolf Scouts of the Space Wolves in a tense infiltration mission deep within a dormant Necron tomb.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s coming this week, including what we expect to be another tight allocation round on the newest Kill Team box.
Kill Team: Dead Silence
Necron tomb worlds may be slumbering, but they’re anything but safe. The T’au Empire’s thirst for knowledge drags them straight into the claws of danger as they attempt to uncover the mysteries of Necron translocation technology. Unfortunately for them, the Space Wolves have picked up the scent—sending their hardened Wolf Scouts and a loyal Fenrisian Wolf to intercept the xenos intruders before the tomb fully awakens.
This box includes:
-
Two full Kill Teams: Stealth Battlesuits of the T’au Empire and Space Wolves Wolf Scouts
-
Campaign & Log Pads to track your progress
-
The Dead Silence Dossier – lore, missions, and all new rules
-
T’au Empire and Space Wolves transfer sheets
-
Tokens and accessories to jump right into play
As has become standard for Kill Team releases, we’re expecting low allocations across the board for retailers. If this box is on your must-have list, we recommend moving quickly once preorders go live—these sets historically sell out fast.
Deathwatch Kill Team
The iconic xenos hunters finally get their due in the newest Kill Team release. This kit lets you build five Deathwatch operatives, each with extensive customization options—dual builds per model, 16 unique heads, and 29 shoulder pads representing various Chapters.
If you’re looking for a highly customizable elite squad brimming with detail and lore, this is the Kill Team to grab.
Canoptek Circle Kill Team
The Canoptek Circle brings the precision and power of Necron Crypteks and their constructs to the killzone. Centered around the Geomancer, this cerebral team rewards players who plan multiple turns ahead—leveraging terrain, positioning, and machine servitors to devastating effect.
The kit includes eight multipart plastic miniatures with a distinctly alien feel—perfect for those who prefer brains over brawn in their tactical play.
Deathwatch & Canoptek Circle Datacards
Both new teams also receive their own datacard sets, providing quick references for operatives, ploys, faction rules, and equipment. A must-have accessory for efficient play and faster turns.
Killzone: Tomb World
Descend once more into the heart of a Necron tomb. This terrain set is designed for Kill Team’s close-quarters play, offering 25 pieces of Necron-themed terrain and a double-sided game board that perfectly matches the tense, claustrophobic atmosphere of Dead Silence.
This set can be used to expand existing Necron terrain or as a standalone battlefield for narrative or matched play.
White Dwarf 518
White Dwarf celebrates 50 years of Games Workshop with a jam-packed issue full of retrospectives, hobby content, and throwbacks. From the history of the boltgun to modern recreations of classic battle reports, this is one for long-time fans and newcomers alike.
Black Library Highlights
Archmagos – Guy Haley
Cawl’s obsession with stabilizing the Attilan Gap takes him to a Necron world orbiting the edge of a black hole—where even he may have met his match. This new novel, featuring the infamous Vashtorr the Arkifane, arrives in hardback, eBook, MP3, and a striking special edition.
Eisenhorn: Hereticus (Illustrated & Annotated Edition)

The Twice-Dead King Omnibus – Nate Crowley
A definitive Necron collection, bringing together Reign and Ruin alongside several short stories and novellas exploring the metallic dynasties’ grim majesty.
Final Thoughts
This week’s lineup balances stealth and strategy, lore and nostalgia. The spotlight clearly shines on Kill Team: Dead Silence, a visually stunning and narratively rich box that’s bound to disappear quickly from shelves—especially given the historically low stock for all Kill Team sets.
If you’re planning to add any of these to your collection, set an alarm for preorder day—these releases won’t linger.
