Introducing the Scout Squad Kill Team! A versatile 9-model team that excels at shooting with boltguns, shotguns, and heavy weapons like missile launchers. They're fast (6" move) and moderately tough (4+ save, 10-11 wounds). Their unique Forward Scouting rule lets you set up traps, reposition operatives, and gain strategic advantages before the battle even begins. Use ploys like Ambush and Covert Position to strike from concealment and control the battlefield. Perfect for players who love tactical flexibility and outmaneuvering opponents!
