Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team Red Terror and Spectrus operatives

The latest expansion for the Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team tabletop game will allow players to witness an epic confrontation between elite Imperial Guardsmen and the Tyranid Red Terror, a unique bioform capable of regenerating damage by consuming biomass.

Games Workshop delivered on its promise, unveiling exciting new additions for Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team during the Adepticon Preview 2026 event.

Elite Imperial Guard operatives will face the Red Terror, a unique Ravenor bioform specifically engineered by the Hive Mind to be the ultimate instrument of terror.

The “Terror on Devlan” expansion deviates from the usual Kill Team formula, pitting the Spectrus Kill Team operatives against a single, massive adversary. Their efforts to eliminate the beast are spread across nine interconnected cooperative operation missions.

The Red Terror makes its return in its first standalone plastic kit, poised to once again unleash terror across the galaxy. This colossal, serpentine monstrosity possesses the unique ability to regenerate damage by consuming biomass. It can disappear beneath the battlefield, lurking in ambush until it’s ready to strike and devour operatives whole.

The Spectrus operatives are clad in light armor and equipped with camouflaged cloaks, allowing them to move stealthily across challenging terrain, relying on ambushes and cunning tactics to eliminate formidable targets.

For more conventional firefights, they are armed with heavy gear, including a rapid-fire autostubber, as well as a choice of plasma or melta gun. The developers have also included specific tokens and the “Dataslate: Terror on Devlan.”
