However, the rules are explicitly stated to be in a beta state, subject to change or be reprinted elsewhere with modifications, strongly suggesting a future Kill Team expansion centered around Blackstone Fortress. These rules, with some minor tweaks, were eventually taken out of Beta and officially released in Kill Team Annual 2019. *'''8th Edition White Dwarf Article- Mercenaries for Hire (January 2019):''' A 4-page article in White Dwarf featuring datasheets to play a Kroot solo Kill Team as well as making Kroot Carnivores available to the Tau. *'''8th Edition Environment Expansion - Sector Fronteris (January/February? 2019):''' A killzone set on an desert Frontier Planet.

Unfortunately they're almost as bad as the [[Warhammer_40,000/Tactics/Kill_Team(8E)_Xenos#Kroot_Mercenaries_(White_Dwarf_January_2019)|last faction]] released in WD, with the Daemons being lackluster and <s> Eisenhorn having the wrong statline from a Copy/Paste mistake </s> Thankfully FIXED in the Digital Edition. Daemons are still mediocre though. **Due to several mistakes with the printed and digital editions, Eisenhorn's final2FinalForSureThisTime datasheet was made available from the Warhammer Community Downloads section. *'''8th Edition Errata Release (23 August 2019):''' Second round of Errata including updates to the Core Manual Errata and Developer Commentary, as well as new errata for Commander, Elites and Arena. *'''8th Edition Core Set II (2019):''' Includes core manual, a Reivers squad, a Fire Warriors squad, a game board, Sector Imperialis Killzone rules, datacards for the included squads, booklets with fluff for pre-constructed Kill-teams for both factions, Tactics cards (universal, Space Wolves, and T'au), dice, and rulers. *'''8th Edition White Dwarf Article - Escalation (September 2019):''' Provides rules for using models, both Character and Cultist, from Blackstone Fortress Escalation in Kill-Team, in a similar vein to the Blackstone Fortress Beta Rules. Represents the first, and so far, only time a non-Core faction has gotten continued support beyond the initial publication. *'''8th Edition White Dwarf Article - Vanguard Reinforcements (October 2019):''' Features new rules for Incursors and updated ones for Eliminators, Infiltrators, Reivers and the Phobos Lieutenant. Also introduces the Reserve rules for players without the Elites book. **They forgot to add in the points values for the models in actual article, so they and some of the rules were made available [https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/10/17/tactica-vanguard-kill-teamsgw-homepage-post-2/| here]. Hopefully they'll get added to the Community downloads before the article is taken down. *'''8th Edition White Dwarf Article - Unexpected Encounter (November 2019):''' Includes rules for including the [[Ambull]] (and Borewyrms) as an AI-controlled monster to pop out of the ground at a randomly determined location and terrorize whoever is unlucky enough to be closest to it. This issue also included a little introspective article on Kill Team's development, but no other crunch. *'''8th Edition Kill Team: Annual 2019 (7th December 2019):''' Officially announced on 24/11/19 but leaked about significantly earlier, the book collates the majority of the White Dwarf content, adds new tactics for many of the factions and reprints others from the now OoP faction sets. It also adds some new CSM updates, new missions and provides the long awaited rules for a Sisters of Battle Kill Team. Also "painstakingly balances the game" ... [[Fail|by nerfing Orks and Marines]]. *'''8th Edition White Dwarf Article - Da Festive Revolushun! (December 2019):''' Includes rules for playing Da Red Gobbo (who [[Fail|is not legal in Matched play]]) and a Narrative mission featuring him. *'''8th Edition White Dwarf Article - Kill Team Dispositions (January 2020):''' Adds Five new "Dispositions" for your Kill Team in Narrative Play, which give you access three tactics unique to each disposition. Once again, Narrative Only for some reason, but does feature six new Narrative Missions. *'''8th Edition White Dwarf 452 Article - A Mysterious Menace (March 2020):''' Includes rules for including the The Archivist (a goddamn [[Zoats|ZOAT!]]) as an AI-controlled monster that starts at a randomly determined location and spendd the game mind-controlling shaken models nearby (temporarily giving your opponent control of them) and generally wrecking anything that gets within range. *'''8th Edition White Dwarf 454 Article - The Witch-Hunting Elite (May [Subscriber only Physical release]/June [Full release] 2020):''' Included rules for using Sisters of Silence as a stand-alone faction. Unfortunately no Talons but is surprisingly well rounded for a WD faction with a very limited model line. *'''8th Edition Kill Team: Dice & Card Set (6 June 2020):''' A carry box for the included deck of fillable datacards (20 regular, 3 for commanders) and 2 orange d10s and 6 black d6s with orange pips both in the same style as the starter sets. *'''8th Edition Kill Team: Pariah Nexus (6 March 2020):''' Its an expansion and not 2.0!, Assault intercessors and their shiny new chainswords, and apparently "every model from the Indomitus boxed set will be getting brand new rules to liven up your skirmishes". Though everyone remembers how loose their definition of "every" has been in the past... Comes with a Necron chronomancer and 5x flayed ones, a SM captain and 5x heavy intercessors, a double-sided game board, a bunch of necron terrain, 24x objective cards and of course, the manual.
