Kill Team missions are about to get a big shake-up, as the Approved Ops Card Pack 2025 is on the way with brand new objectives to fight over and a helping hand for all those commanders* who seem to flub every initiative roll they make.
The four archetypes each get a new spread of three Tac Ops in this update, with some offering radically different ways to play compared to their previous objectives.
Recon kill teams, for instance, can now opt to Flank their opponents by splitting the killzone in two and scoring Victory Points for dominating each half - a much more defensive option that rewards smart movement of troops around the centre of the board. Seek and Destroy kill teams can load up on Dominate tokens by having their star operatives knock out enemy models, but they have to be careful as they can only be traded for Victory Points in the latter half of the game, forcing a more considered approach than the previous Champion Tac Op.
