 ABOUT THIS FORMAT

This rule set and mission pack was designed and tested by
the community. We of course love Games Workshop for
the models and games they produce but they have a lot of
things to focus on, and unfortunately Commanders (which
represent 42% or 89/209 of all datasheets in the game)
for Kill Team was left behind.

This however, shouldn't mean it should be forgotten.

We all know how great 125 with elites plays, but there are
a lot of units and wargear which don't quite fit this format,
and to be honest we all want to play with at least some of
those.

This war gear was overpriced for dealing with the standard
models, but not for the big boys, the elites, the kings of
men and xenos alike. These unique units really do add a
huge variety of options for every faction and are a great
experience to play, if balanced correctly.

This is where our passion started and why we have worked

so hard to bring you our 'love letter' to Competitive
Commanders. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do,
now get out there and lead your forces to glory

KILLZONE: IMPASS

The balance of this format is tailored to the specific requirements for the placement of the terrain on your
gaming field.

Place 2 terrain pieces in the center of the field, no closer than 4” inches apart. Each part of the terrain must
be able to cover at least 1 tactical space marine model.

Then place 2 more terrain pieces at opposite ends of the field, no closer than 4” to tedge of the field and
terraine that have been placed before. Each part of this terrain must be smaller than the terraine located at
the center of the field.

These terrain pieces are called “Impassable Terrain”.

Models cannot be targeted over impassable terrain as line of sight (LOS) cannot be drawn
above or over it.

It is still possible to draw LOS to models using it for cover, provided it can be drawn along
the sides of the impassable terrain

Example: you may place Impassable Terrain
