Getting into Kill Team?


 Ok, I've been busy helping my wife set up a little side business, so there hasn't been much happening here.

That said, my birthday is coming up (March 8th, in case you want to send me something lol) so I've ordered a few things.

I've ordered a dakkajet, stormboyz and bikerboyz to bolster my Ork army after getting Ghazhkull Thrakka. I've also ordered the new Kill Team Expansion, Pariah Nexus.

Having never played Kill Team, and having both a Space Marine and Necron army, I figured this would be a good entry into the game. It also comes with miniatures not available anywhere else (yet). It wasn't till after I made the purchase that I realised the kit doesn't come with everything you need to play either the game or the squads provided within.

 GW do make it clear that a copy of the core rules manual is required, so that part is my own fault. I've not played kill team before, so I took a look at the starter kit, it comes with dice and tokens for the squads within. Something Pariah Nexus seems to be missing.

Are these essential?

At the same price as the starter kit, this does seem to me in hind sight to be a little expensive for what you get. 

That being said though, I'm looking forward to creating a squad having a crack at this faster paced game.
