Zephaniah Adriyen Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I'm just wondering... why aren't there any flying infantry in Kill Team? It'd make so much sense if they were, Scourges, Warp Talons, Assault Marines, Seraphim, Swooping Hawks... they'd all be great, but not overpowered, I think, if they had the right cost. Thoughts?

MegaVolt87 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 No reason why not, could be the next elites style expansion. Its a matter of GW getting around to it.

Shinespider Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Presumably because they're saving them for a future expansion. I mean, think about Elites - it doesn't really make much sense, does it? I get that Terminators are a special kind of "Super-heavy Unit" that might need to be sequestered into an expansion, but there's no earthly reason why Striking Scorpions weren't in the original game... except that they were being saved. There's almost certainly going to be a "Death from Above" expansion at some point that adds all the jumpers. Maybe we'll get some cool character models out of it.

Kierdale Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I would absolutely love it if they included Scourges and (new model) Swooping Hawks in a future expansion. In fact maybe new Hawks is what they’re waiting for? Release them, then the expansion.

Jukkiz Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 propably mobility adn impact reasons. melee is huge in KT and for example, Assault marines would be pretty punchy and able to pick your heavy gunner out in seconds.

Brother Navaer Solaq Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I'm just wondering... why aren't there any flying infantry in Kill Team? It'd make so much sense if they were, Scourges, Warp Talons, Assault Marines, Seraphim, Swooping Hawks... they'd all be great, but not overpowered, I think, if they had the right cost. Thoughts? GW could probably add assault type units at a later time whenever they want to make more money. :p Overall, I like the idea that they used mostly normal grunts to execute small missions rather than using fast attack units. I am happy with current units in place. Some tweaking for rules on units would be good, but that would be in a different topic. i would not like to have necron destroyers in KT.
