Happy 15th Birthday

This week KD Games is 15 years old! I simply cannot believe how quickly the years have passed.



On July 7th 2007, we opened the doors for the very first time at our shop Kids Dreams in Boundary Road in Hove.

Originally we opened as a toy shop selling traditional and pocket money toys but it was not long before we started selling or first gaming products from of course Games Workshop followed very quickly by Magic the Gathering and Pokemon.

A lot has changed since then both in what we sell and how we operate.  We changed our name to KD Games in 2013 when we stopped selling toys and have concentrated on board games and card games ever since. We have been in many different locations and served many many different people and are delighted to have been back on the High Street in Shoreham-by-Sea for the last few years.

I have lost count of the amount of games we have sold and the amount of different events, clubs, tournament and demonstrations we have run over the years.

I have had the pleasure of knowing some of you since those very early days in Hove and in many cases seen people that started playing when they were just children go on to still enjoying games in to their adulthood.

As a community you have been a big part of my families lives, my children have grown up during this time and I have had the pleasure of seeing many of your families grow too. I have made so many good friends during this time, it has been great sharing the good times with you and I have been grateful for the support many of you have shown us through the harder times. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our customers; old and new for spending your hard earned money with us and making the last 15 years so much fun. I look forward to many more years of gaming to come.

What is Standard?

Recently we have had a few new MTG players and they have wanted to know what is Standard? So thought we should have a quick look at what sets are legal in this format.

PLAY RULES/MODIFIERS

Standard games are one-on-one with a 60 card minimum for the main deck (up to 15 card sideboard). Winner is determined either by best of one, or best of three games. These games should last standard length for a game (about 20 minutes on average, 50 minutes for best of three).

Standard is a dynamic format where you build decks and play using cards in your collection from recently released Magic sets. Evolving gameplay and fresh strategies make it one of the most fun and popular ways to play Magic.

Releasing Soon!



On the world of Moroch, Imperial forces make desperate preparations to withstand the coming of heretic invaders. The frontier world is being braced as part of vast defensive strategies in an attempt to hold the Nachmund Gauntlet – a solitary route through the madness of the Great Rift. Yet the taint of Chaos is already upon Moroch, and it runs deep – traitors amongst the Imperial forces' ranks rise to strike from within. Few can be spared from the preparations for the looming war to hunt down these heretic cells, and now all that stands between the Militarum Traitoris warbands of Blooded and their total victory is an elite Phobos Strike Team of deadly Space Marines.

Kill Team: Moroch is the third full expansion box for Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team, the ultimate sci-fi skirmish game. It is released on Saturday 4th. It includes miniatures for two complete new kill teams, the covert Adeptus Astartes Phobos Strike Team, and the heretical traitor guardsmen of the Blooded – as well as transfers, a double-sided game board, a full set of terrain, and a new rule manual featuring missions, background material, and full rosters for both the two Kill Teams and Moroch itself.
In this box you'll find:

1x 96 page Kill Team: Moroch Rules manual: take the fight to the corrupted world of Moroch, a key defensive point in the Nachmund Gauntlet, with background material for this stronghold world and the forces that clash over it. This manual also includes new rules, datacards, and background tables for the Phobo Strike Team and Blooded kill teams, as well as additional killzone rules and Shadow Operations missions set on this war-torn planet.

23x Citadel miniatures: Two full kill teams, including miniatures available for the first time in this box, each featuring a wide array of customisation and alternate assembly options. Extra components allow for deep personalisation of your kill team, and many models can be assembled as multiple different kinds of operative.

Phobos Strike Team:
- 10 Primaris Space Marines which can be built as Infiltrators or Incursors, with an extra sprue of upgrades and a mine marker – customise your kill team to complete your mission
- Extra components to build specialists like the Commsman, Helix Adept, Saboteur, Voxbreaker, Marksman, Minelayer, and Veteran
- Full transfer sheet with over 270 markings and emblems

Blooded Kill Team:
- 12 Blooded warriors to tear down the rotting edifice of the Imperium. 10 of these miniatures are available for the first time in this boxed set, and are accompanied by a Traitor Enforcer and a Traitor Ogryn, previously found in Blackstone Fortress: Traitor Command
- Includes components to build specialists like the Brimstone Grenadier, Butcher, Trench Sweeper, Flenser, Corpseman, Sharpshooter, and more

8x Fronteris terrain pieces: Recreate the rugged, mass-produced fortifications of Moroch on your tabletop. This assemblage of modular terrain pieces can be configured in any number of ways to create a varied killzone for your kill teams to sneak around and clash over, and is fully compatible with a wide range of other terrain kits. It includes:
- 1x Landing Pad
- 1x Vox-Antenna
- 1x Auspex Shrine
- 1x STC Hab-Bunker
- 1x Stockades with Doors
- 3x Stockades

1x Double-sided Fronteris game board: Battle over the war-torn outposts of Moroch on this double-sided 30" x 22" folding cardboard game board.

These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.

You'll need a copy of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team Core Book to make full use of this supplement.
