- Games Workshop sent me the new Kill Team box - Into the Dark! The terrain is different from every other Kill Team set we've seen. I show you how I painted it and what I think of it.

It’s great to see that games workshop produces terrain addons for space station zero 😄
Honestly, I don’t know that it would work great with Space Station Zero. Maybe along the edges of the board, but the way that the terrain is designed to make “rooms” doesn’t really fit with the Challenges in the campaign. Thanks for watching!
Works fine for Stargrave, Void Pirates, Stars, etc. Necromunda too, add some variety to your Underhive or as the interior of one of the countless wrecked ships out in the wastes. Hell, I'm sure every hive has a few defunct ships (or parts of them) integrated into their structure after they were hauled in for salvage.
Not sure it's worth the money at all though. 3D printers make terrain a chump's purchase.
Only reason I might buy this to be honest lol
@@richmcgee434 yes, the first thing it came to my mind was "yeah, this would be great for stargrave"
@@anibar6780 You are clearly an individual with discerning and refined tastes. :)
Personally I try to put lots of detail into the terrain. The terrain will probably show up for more fights than any individual model will =P
I'm now imagining an OSHA worker just going through with a list of violations longer than a football field and they haven't even gotten past the entry way of the ship in 40k, and behind them a high lord of terra, a Custodes, and a tech preist are freaking out lol. This was a great video I haven't gotten into the terrain aspect of this hobby but I keep getting interested every time I see videos like this
Not even the God Emperor himself can avoid the wrath of the OSHA inspector.
@@josephplatt7622 The last OSHA inspector to complain is now a servitor scrubbing Ogryn toilets.
Love seeing the Kroot get some models. I hope the interest in this box encourages GW to update all the Kroot stuff and do some new stuff.
Thanks for the review and painting tutorial, Uncle Atom! I love it when you break down how you paint things, because your style is so fast and effective. It works perfectly for a guy like me, who doesn't have very much free time to devote to the hobby. Keep up the fantastic work!
I just started cracking open my box and I'm doing the terrain first, I think I really do the building and modelling aspect a lot more than others do. I'm filing and sanding away all the sprue bits. I need to dry fit the terrain, I'll no doubt sand down the plastic to make it easier to work with.
I really do love the idea of a Space Hulk, and it's fantastic for a tabletop setting. There can be working parts of ancient spaceships from every kind of culture and setting. There could be big stone cathedrals, green and vibrant forest areas of a colony ship, alien and cyclopean Necron bits and even some kind of flesh dungeon maze from a space whale!
Thanks for the heads up about the tabs!
I understand make the friction based tab & slot style locking system tight, and I personally would be sanding all 4 sides of those tabs quite heavily so that they are a lot easier to put together and take apart, but making those cap pieces also such a tight friction lock is simply overkill. Those caps are mostly their to hide the connection points underneath and do not need to be friction locking let alone to that degree of friction locking to make it work for what it is really there for, making it look prettier.
I would gess that if you sand down the tabs a bit (which I plan to do), the tight-fitting cap will be the thing that actually keeps it all into place. I’m probably going to need to dry fit the whole thing before painting, as well as covering both tabs and slots in order to get a proper fit. This may prove to be quite a project…
Ease them down and magnetize
Maybe a scrape or two with a hobby knife would make them work just fine.
😅 I see what you did there: “overkill” I love puns!😂
Love this sort of review and paint combo video!
Thanks for the great tips about undercoating and assembling the terrain and also for sharing your process for painting it. Looks awesome!
More Uncle Atom paint tutorials please. I like the balance you strike between time spent and finished quality, and you've got different takes on how to achieve a look or effect than what's normally out there in "paint x but FAST" type videos. see you on twitch later.
I loved it. For those of us who find it harder to paint, this is a great simple way to get a nice product. Thanks for sharing it.
Looks like a lot of fun, thanks for your shows
I love seeing your quick and effective paint jobs.
I'm looking forward to getting this terrain. I might saw off the tabs and magnetize everything.
Also looking forward to SSZ
Thanks a lot for showing! I filed those tabs down and also made the top tab that gets secured by the column cap a bit slimmer so there's less friction. That way, the parts go together (and come apart) much easier. A bit of extra work, but definitely worth it.
I really like how you did the terrain. I originally tried to paint my Octarius terrain with a ton of detail, it took forever and I didn't even like it. Then I did something similar to your style here and loved it, plus it took WAY less time!
As always Adam you do an awesome job breaking down how you paint the terrain. I really like your style. I also watched GMG and he did a little bit of a Zenethal 45° spray about halfway up his walls sort of made him to town which I like also.
I knew you would have some great insights into this terrain when I saw other reviews. Great job.
Enjoyed the video! I'm excited for all this new Kill Team stuff.
Good variety of painting methods, nice work 👍
Excellent painting tips, I struggle with painting old metal. Thanks!
I got my hands on the box today and I'm impressed with the terrain so far. Good tip on taping the connectors, I will definitely do that although I haven't found it difficult to make any connections yet. I have noticed that some of the walls are a bit bent, if you look at them top down, they aren't 100% straight.
Nice paint job. It has inspired me to not go overboard as I like the steps you followed, you could really sink a ton of time into this and its subsequent box sets if they are close to the same amount of terrain.
Enjoyed your perspectives on painting the terrain for the new Kill Team box set.
Your paint job looks awesome, thank you for sharing
I love that the doors actually open.
Hey Adam, thanks for the heads up on the sticking bits in the plug ins. I used a sanding block to get the walls to plug into each other easily. I wouldn't have caught that until I had it primed up. With the block sanding it goes in like a dream.
I'm about to do up a table of terrain for the new place my best gal and I are moving into. Your counsel on keeping the terrain more subtle is wise, and I will take it to heart!
Lol you mentioned Vapor wave and that's exactly what I was planning 😅 also it was cool to see you at Nova!
I will be picking up my copy of this box this weekend. I'm very excited to build the new stuff. The Corsairs aka murderous space elf pirates are my go to team, with that being said these Kroots are really drawing my eye. Fun times and much love from the land of beet, cheese and brats!
loved the paintjob!
Reikland Flesh wash is great for nice rich red rust over metallic, especially with brown undercoat. Nice stuff.
I really like the paint job and the review+painting combo :)
I'm totally stealing how you did this terrain. Looks great and not too much work !
Looks fantastic! Cant wait to Get mine tommorow. And to try out my new teams. Have made a Dark Angels phobos team and a spacewolf intercession team. Designed for close quarter Combat 😁✌🏻
Thanks for the tip of using Skeleton Horde on metal for a worn effect, I like it
I spent a ton of time on my Terius terrain, and I am only a third of the way through it! This will help a ton With speed painting it and maintaining the metallic looks!
I'm probably may get the terrain and the book seperately like I did with Killzone Chalnath so I could play a sort of Space Hulk game with Adepta Sororitas vs Chaos for a short play of Kill Team. Although, I'm more likely focused on other models and rules for other game atm, I can't say until maybe sometime next year?
The terrain pieces you've built and painted has the grimmed-dark atmosphere feel there. Good paint work!
I’ll probably copy your painting method since it looks so good! I see this terrain great for even some warhammer rpgs like Rogue Trader or Dark Heresy!
I found that shaving the corners off the top tabs really helps with fitting the caps. A 320 grit emery board will shave the wall tabs fairly quickly. All of my walls go together fairly smoothly.
Hey Adam, great job on the terrain. Oickingvmy box up today hopefully. Plan is to do a super quick rattle can and dry-brush job on it, play some games and maybe - maybe - go back later and do some details.
С точки зрения промышленной безопасности: 1) все пороги в дверных проёмах - должны быть окрашены в жёлтый цвет с чёрными наклонными полосами; 2) штурвалы и подвижные части - в красный цвет; 3) над приборными панелями и в коридорах должны быть светильники аварийного освещения; 4) для переходов и площадок должны быть яркие ограждения - синего или жёлтого цвета; 5) должны быть заметные указатели - "к реактору - налево" , " к складу N5 - направо", "рубка навигатора - палуба N7" и подобные. Кроме стен должно быть что-то, что вёз "Космический скиталец": опасные формы жизни; носители информации; руду; кристаллы; криогенные капсулы с экипажем и пассажирами. Отсюда всякие сюжетные повороты: разбежавшиеся чужие по коридорам; очнувшиеся из тысячелетней гибернации члены экипажа и пассажиры (вспомните роман "Жук в муравейнике"); облучение от чужеродной руды и кристаллов (неизвестных таблице Менделеева, привет из "Супермена" - криптонит); всякие мутации и сверх-способности из-за биологических опасных материалов... Успехов в творчестве!
love the shirt one of my fav godzilla movies
Great video as always, and I just have to say, Love the Mothra shirt mate 👍
I think my huge bundle of Death Ray Design's Deadbolt's Derelict terrain has yet another game that it is perfectly suited for! Awesome!
The idea of OSHA on Space Hulks or space ships…even the idea of an Imperial OSHA made me laugh so hard! Great video, Uncle Atom. I love your down-to-Earth honesty. Cheers!
Excellent review
This is excellent, thank you!
Very useful comments. Thanks
Inks, shades, and metallic paints are going to love this terrain.
Great paint job
In old kill team. The admech & genestealer expansions came with something like this where I terrain slid together in fixed locations, would have preferred that method to this but still excited to get my hands on them.
Hi. I brought this on pre order to use with "SPACE STATION ZERO"..
Cheers.
Nice paint job,quick and easy and looks good and that's all that matters.terrain suitable for lots of various games.started watching games workshop painting this terrain!! I stopped as their way you be there for a week painting.it may look great but I don't want spend that ammount of time on it.👍👍
I really liked the paint job! Those tabs seem like a huge pain.
I do like this direction for Kill Team. Have always wanted to make a big vertical space hulk battleboard with necromunda terrain and these would combine well. No way I would pay this much for the whole box with rules and models I'll never use, but really interested to see how this terrain will grow with the next into the dark sets, and when they put it out for individual sale.
Cool review! Did you consider magnetizing the wall connections? Dont know whether this is possible, but it would be neat for sure
Love your vids. By the way, thanks for the tips on painting spaceships. I wanted a guide from someone who has actually been on a spaceship / spacehulk but you will have to do! p.s.: For about 2 years I thought it was Uncle Adam!
They look great I also found that the old stuff was also hard to put together it’s almost like GW needs to make a tool like the one that Lego makes to take things apart easily. I want to get them and definitely I’ll have to sand them so I don’t brake them I sometimes get carried away with taking things apart and end up braking them a lot. I do that because of my autism and not being able to take things apart gives me anxiety 🤪
I know this is a bit after the fact but I just did some sanding like you mentioned and mine goes to gether and comes apart easy. without sanding yes it's crazy tough to put it together.
Excellent vid and excellent tshirt. 🤟
I can't wait for mine. I think I want to work on my photography skills
nice paint job You did. I am not buying GW modes since 2020 and I am only planing to buy kill team set with dark eldar team
Your paint scheme is exactly how I plan to paint my terrain for all 4 of the boxes, provided it's all walls
"I've Certainly never been on a spaceship..."
Oddly specific denial, there.
It takes a lot of them but magnets work well for this set if you want to keep changing the field up.
Great video thanks
I have seen pre-orders for the terrain and mat, which is the route that I will take for my mini agnostic games. Not interested in getting back into Kill Team and so I am unlikely to get the whole box unless it is being given away!?
Love the paint job and will use some of your ideas when I get the terrain. I am in the process of setting up a dedicated games room and it looks like this terrain will be permanently set up in it?
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Vert nice video. The scenery looks fantastic. I was expecting the opposite of a tight fit.
I like the quick paint job, It gives the pieces character without making them a slog project to complete. I think the new terrain is interesting, but I'm hoping GW includes a couple of unique terrain pieces for each box to help expand the repetitive contents and keep it interesting.
Take some sandpaper or a sanding stick and knock back the surface of the tabs just a hair. Ease of insertion fixed.
Got to say, I’m excited.
PSA: Goonhammer said to pay attention to the doors and hinges. something about how they aren't universal and certain doors go with certain pieces.
I love Dark Silver. Monument metallics are so great.
It's the first time I've bought a box primarily for the terrain. Space Hulk labyrinth is so cool, and the modularity is icing. I've seen more than one review mention how tight of a fit the connecting tabs are. Recommendations have been to leave them unpainted or to scrape excess plastic off before painting for an easier fit. I'll probably go with the latter since the caps over the connection columns seem sturdy.
Thank you for this review and tips.
I like the main idea of your terrain even if I do not like your door (I will not have blue metal 🙂).
Some male tabs are a little hard to insert, even unpainted. Maybe filing a little with a file could be good...
Just watched this video in 2024. There is brass on everything Military because it will not create sparks when struck. Great video as always.
Late to the party, but thanks for the heads up on the terrain. I'm really interested in the newly annouced Boarding Actions Terrain set since it seems to be aimed to serve both game types (40k & KT). So far it seems the walls and the terrain are the same as the Into the Dark sets so far (maybe wider?).
I liked your paint job a great deal. I dremeled the clips down a little bit and now they slide in fine. The danger is that with a dremel tool you can sand it too much like I did with the first one.
That shirt is fan-freaking-tastic.
I was really stoked for another bespoke genestealer team I hope they make one
I was never interested in kroot cause they always liked a bit underwhelming, but that kill team is really nicely sculpted
The original kit is better than the GW images make them look. They're old enough to proper modular kits instead of the modern borderline push-fit junk, so much easier to pose and convert, and there are enough extra bits to make everything unique. Not as fancy as the KT ones, but very good for their age.
The original plastic Kroot are quite nice in my opinion. They look distinct from other races, and are fun to kitbash into other thing too.
That shirt is fantastic. Love old school godzilla stuff
Pretty cool of GW to do a Space Station Zero terrain set for you, definitely gonna be picking up some of these teams for that.
This killteam is my intro GW. I personally think it is a little much the amount of cleanup needed, mold lines, etc..
Thank you for the review. I'm disappointed about how tight the terrain is. It looks frustrating to modify for different scenarios. Hesitating on pulling the trigger. Great paint job!
Lots of sanding, gotcha. =)
Thank you, Uncle Atom, to confirm my suspisions about the "modularity" of this new "space hulk" terrain. I recently received a box of modular terrain that I ordered on February this year, made by Archon Games - Rampart modular terrain, 3rd edition - and so far so good, they have a different approach than Games Workshop and it seems they finally figured it out, they connect walls with some small stubs (that can be replaced by magnets), floors are connected pretty nice, too. It fits together easily, there´s no need to push the terrain pieces almost to the breaking point, and there is a lot of doodads to cover the connection holes for the stubs with lamps, displays, air-conditioners, buttons etc. The Rampart terrain does not have functional doors, to be honest, but it doesn´t matter.
I am disappointed with Gallowdark and just don´t understand why Games Workshop created something that is labelled as "modular" when in fact is not once you assemble these corridors together. For me, this kit is a Necromunda add-on, not a true modular terrain.
i just commented about the archon studios terrain. i found them via their fantasy side (dungeons and lazers). they are really good to work with
@@darkmistress1980 yes, I agree, they have a lot of experience from Dungeons and Lazers and Rampart terrain sets. And yes, they are from Poland so the shipping costs are high, on the other hand, their terrain is still cheaper than Gallowdark.
@@petrbouda1741 yeah i enjoyed painting those sets once i knew what i was doing with them. my partner got alot of the fantasy stuff for D&D at the time was maybe their first or second kickstarter.
I got the Rampart terrain (City Ruins) from the Kickstarter in the mail last week. I’ve been building it alongside the Kill Team terrain and I agree - the Rampart stuff is really good. I can’t wait to start painting it. Thanks for watching!
@@tabletopminions next video perhaps? =)
Scuffing the paint was the first thing I wondered about when I saw the clip mechanism... little disappointed TBH, it looks cool but the connections dont seem paint friendly, might try to sand back the connections and figure out a way to magnetise them 🤔
The walls look thick enough to slip a 3mm magnet into, they should hold pretty well.
It definitely pays to file down some of the tabs (because those are easier to get to than the inside of the slots), so you aren't needing to man-handle the pieces every time you want to change layouts. You'd think, with products this expensive, they'd be more user friendly. Then again, this is GW we're talking about. Just look at the warped crap that comes out of Forge World.
RE: Skulls - One could argue that the skulls in the control panels ARE real skulls. Because Servo-skulls. They're not free to move around, but it's the same idea. A human brain, or what's left of it, is filled with mechanical components and set into a machine to do all the calculating. Is it in any way efficient or necessary? No, but neither is most of what AdMech do.
Plus, the Imperium at large is a death cult. They have a lot of skulls lying around. If they're going to decorate their stuff with skull motifs, it's arguably a better allocation of resources to use real skulls than to cast them out of metal. That's perfectly good metal, after all, whereas the Imperium has mountains of skulls that make Khorne blush. (Not that the Imperium should be confused for a place that has good resource allocation skills).
This scenery is going to be good for Space Station Zero games as well as Space Hulk and Necromunda too! IMHO
I'm gonna be using it for both kill team and space station zero.
this seems like it would be great terrain for your new game
Only some of it, not all of it. If you build a maze of rooms and try to use it in Space Station Zero, I don’t know that it’ll help the game. Thanks for watching!
For that terrain,
Get yourself a Dremel, and grind it out 1 mm or two to open up some spacing to refit the walls. Think ahead, because this is only the start.
ca. 13:42 : I use "Heavy Siena" from Vallejo. Funny thing, that I had a different solution for kinda the same Idea. ^^
I wonder if you could put a few drops of silicone lubricant on the tabs to help things slide in more easily.
Is that safe…?
@@BB-pn2qv Sure. You need be careful with the stuff on latex sex toys, but it won't hurt styrene. You could always buy water-based lubes instead, which definitely won't hurt plastic, paint, or your skin for that matter - and they're usually cheaper, at least last time I checked. They also have some uses outside of Kill Team, and you can dedicate your purchase to Slaanesh.
I thought about maybe buying this for the terrain for Zone Mortalis and then decided against it after seeing how difficult it was to alter the layout.
This terrain looks great
Then again I am nostalgic for spaceship terrain thanks to good old space hulk
You've never been on a spaceship @TabletopMinions ? Quite surprising really, if anyone has, I would have expected you would have!
When/if the terrain is available separately, I'll be sorely tempted to make a 'Tantivus IV' board and have the Breachers/Scions fight some rebellious troops and capture a treasonous princess...
I wonder if they're reducing sight lines and distances to compensate for range advantage?
Thx 🙏🏻
