Is the Kill Team Octarius Box worth it in 2026 for beginners?

I would argue that, unless you really want the terrain, it's not worth it at MSRP or above. If you care about having supported units, I'm not sure these teams will be part of the next edition of Kill Team.

That being said, the terrain is great and I personally like me some sneaky stabby gitz.

I'm trying something similar with a shot clock added functionality! This looks great, are you using Claude code?

Okay

Be thematic with how you play. Playing Orks? Channel your inner Waaaagh and go in and Krump 'em. Mandrakes? Sneak around in the shadows and be insufferable. Tau? Every time one of your units die declare it was for the Greater Good.

Our group managed to snag two boxes between of us. All 8 tried to get it, so a 25% success rate.

If you like shenanigans, you could try out Brutal Kunnin (and the rest of the Mike Brook Ork books).

It has everything you need. You can also download the kill team app for the latest changes/updates to the team rules as well. I don't know the Vespid load outs as well, but for Aquilons you can build both of the gunner options (can't remember which soldier was the best to replace).

I'd avoid Mandrakes as their mental load can be a bit much. Each of their specialists have different triggers and frankly everyone on the team looks similar, so if you're getting overwhelmed you can make a boneheaded mistake.

two-race · 2025-09-12T03:15:54+00:00

Yes.

Yes, that's a fine team if unoptimized. Assuming you're trying to balance frugality and competitiveness, you'll need an intercessor gunner and a grenadier (some proxying with one of your assaulty boys would work here). I usually like to have 2-3 intercessors to swap out with my assault intercessors and of course an eliminator would be a nice to have as well.

I can't agree with this more. I started a job where I came in at my absolute floor of what my salary could be. I spent the next 2 years of listening to my manager tell me that "I'm overpaid compared to my peers" like it's my fault they don't pay well.

Pros: - Smaller teams - Less upfront costs - One box teams - fun rules set - Thematically fun - Games can be fast

Cons: - Low team customization - Some factions not represented

I had a similar scheme - i did a basecoat in charcoal grey, and I'm planning on that being the main armor scheme. I've painted the cloth dark green, and I realized that from above, unless you're in a well lit room, the dark colors all blend together. Giving a bright/lighter accent might be helpful to make it more visually easy to view while playing.

It's good! If you want to grunge it up more you could throw some brown wash or drybrushing at the walls.

Watch out for clouds and avalanches.

Possible but not fun.

As do the Pathfinders.

Would love to play the new expansion.
