      It would be nice. With Black Legion/CSM getting the limelight now, my personal hope is that near future we see not only the other two cult legions fleshed out but also proper non-FW Traitors given a spin, as it could include both DarkMech and Traitor Guard and various other chaos things.

    I have Blackstone fortress ordered purely because I want to paint those mad max-ish traitor guard and dark mechanicus models. Everything else is a bonus and being able to use them as a kill-team is the cherry on top!

      To a degree. You pay to get in but that's the same as a system or game cost, regardless of what cost you shell out you are regulated by points costs of models. Arguments can be made for HQs, but they are limited by list building and slots. Additionally, superheavies which are expensive can still be downed by cheap chaos hellbrutes and simple heavy weapon teams. Simply throwing money at the game doesnt make you objectively better, it just gives more options for your list

    I'm with you, I think the Servants of the Abyss being their own Kill Team faction is pretty damn cool, especially since they have such a large number of options that are unique even amongst Chaos.
    My current kill team for them is 2 Black Legionnaires (Leader and Sniper), Chaos Beastman (Zealot), 2 Negavolt Cultists, Rogue Psyker (Comms), and 6 Traitor Guardsman. A nice mix of everything :-)

Maybe an Eldar list could attempt to recover rumored Old One tech, with that being one of the BSF theories of construction/creation.

    To be fair you can run loads of specialists if you have the Rogue Trader box. I don't mind if someone uses any of it in games and I like to go to events and for events it's like any tournaments really it's not pay to win but they can give a nice edge. I've wiped the flood with a team from the Rogue Trader box and seen it done on other games too with standard kill teams it's all just how you play using terrain cards and knowledge.

    Great review! Thank you Uncle Adam!!
    On the the pay to win argument some folks out there are complaining about ... simply ... it is silly, ALL OF GW IS PAY TO WIN and it always has been. These days though you can just go on ebay and buy the single figure you want on most any given day. It isn't like they were limited ed, get them at a convention only, etc. If someone is too poor to buy the box, go in with someone, buy it and sell the stuff you dont want want on ebay. This is really a very good thing to see GW doing, something that is rare for them, to allow models to be used in more than one game (ya ya ... Daemons have traditionally been 40K and AoS/WHFB, etc. but generally its rare).

      Ur-Ghuls were already a model for Drukhari (dark eldar) before blackstone came out - they live in Commorrah, the dark eldar capital and aren't daemons or related to any chaos faction. They don't really fit the theme of kill team (being uncontrolled predators, essentially) so i'm guessing that's one reason why they aren't included. Nobody can use the spindle drones in 40k or kill team as they are part of the blackstone fortress' defences and it wouldn't make any sense for them to be used elsewhere.

    Before Warhammer Quest “Blackstone Fortress” a few years ago came Warhammer Quest “Silver Tower” And Shadows over Hammerhall. Both of these systems are not only Great but are interchangeable to each other. The Minis (Most of them) can be used in Age Of Sigmar as well, and that includes Skirmish! These miniatures definitely were NOT “pay to win” from these game boxed systems, all the models are available separately with downloadable War Scrolls to use in AoS. I thought about getting into Kill Team, and if I did, would only play casually. Also may get Blackstone Fortress at a later time, as I hear it’s a good game in of itself, even if a lot more unforgiving than Silver Tower (although you can make Silver Tower way more challenging). I don’t like the whole PTW concept from any company! Video Games have enough of that crap going on already - Disheartened to hear it’s going on a little bit with Blackstone Fortress/Kill Team and in Kill Team in general with those additional packs.

    I disagree it is pay to win really. he rules are there, you can easily proxy the models and those characters which are specialists have a points cost which reflects that. As for the factions, you don't have to do a complete Servants Of The Abyss team, they all have the Chaos keyword, which means I can throw them into my Deathguard or Thousand Sons teams. (I will lose the faction specific tactics, but that many be worth it.) I picked up the Rogue Psyker and Negavolts cheap from ebay, so you need not even buy Blackstone Fortress, or proxy minis.
