Ruleset
This event will be run using the most up-to-date rules set for Kill Team (“Third Edition”, “Kill Team 2024”, etc.). As it is still early a new edition, we expect many of us will be learning and examining interactions along the way. All other rules for Kill Team, including balance dataslates, errata, and FAQs will remain in effect.
Terrain and Missions
We will use the Approved Operations 2024 Tac Ops and Missions. Map layouts are currently TBD. Each table will be preset with a specific map layout, and players will be assigned to tables randomly. All players will play the same mission each round as outlined in the event schedule below.
Tournament Format, Pairing & Placing Metrics
All participants will play in a four-round Swiss tournament to determine the outcome.
Game rounds will be 90 minutes.
Pairings: Tournament Points => Victory Points => Random
Placings: Tournament Points => Primary Op VP => Total Victory Points

Painting Requirements
There are no painting requirements for this event. Given this, please note victory points for having a painted team will not be in effect for this tournament - as a result, players can score a maximum of 21 points each round. Conversions and proxy miniatures are accepted and strongly encouraged as long as they can be matched to the appropriate entry on the roster. If your models vary greatly from the standard kit, please contact the Tournament Organizer in advance to confirm they are easily recognizable.
Tools of War
Players must bring their Kill Team, equipment terrain (barricades), dice, measuring gauges, order markers and relevant tokens for rules their Kill Team applies (e.g. tac op markers, to indicate area or lasting effects etc.). Players are encouraged to bring physical models for universal equipment (ladders, mines, barbed wire) if possible, as availability may be limited at launch and we cannot ensure we are able to provide a set for each table at this time.
