MagicHat Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Having to pick between sniper and demo expert though for Krieg is mean! Arms are frequently the easiest swap though, the medic body seems like it would be useful for it. Then again, the heads will be the difficult to change because of the tube... Hm.

Dumah Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Kill Team hasn't been on my radar at all...until now. I like that it's becoming its own system and the new models look amazing! It may even succeed in suckering me back into the gaming side of the hobby.

ThePenitentOne Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I'm going to buy it, I'm going to play it and I'll probably like it. I have the fear in me though. Space Marines get extra actions. If it works out that their points cost is high enough that they're always outnumbered, I suppose it could work. I've never played Warcry or Underworlds, so I'm not sure if this kinda thing is consistent with those games. Not gonna judge it til I have more info, but this has me anxious.

Elzender Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) Mmmm, the sniper/demoman alternate build got me thinking, would it be possible that the Krieg kit allows for a full squad of grenadiers? I guess it's unlikely as if I recall correctly, they are equipped with hotshot lasguns and I don't see GW adding them on top of the normal lasguns (unless it's a modular design). Still, it would be cool if GW included skull gasmasks and torso armour for the whole unit, or at least a few of them, considering grenadiers are no longer available at FW. Edit: I've checked the sprue pics and all lasguns are single piece so that pretty much discounts this possibility. Edit 2: I've just seen the heads in the sprues. Oh well, it was nice to dream about it for a few minutes.

Jorin Helm-splitter Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I'm going to buy it, I'm going to play it and I'll probably like it. I have the fear in me though. Space Marines get extra actions.

I've never played Warcry or Underworlds, so I'm not sure if this kinda thing is consistent with those games. Not gonna judge it til I have more info, but this has me anxious. There were ways to get extra actions but in warcry but it was tied to the initiative system and the models traits (it wasn't automatic). I will say the limited number of turns, and the objective system made small elite armies really difficult to play well. We also don't know if this system will put caps on some actions which could change the strength of extra actions dramatically. I also don't think they'll follow warcry to closely because there aren't alot of ranged attacks in that system.

HandsWithLegs Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I'm really excited, but looking at the webpage I noticed that no faction has the options from the Elites book from the first version of the game. It's a real shame to lose all those options, and its really reducing my excitement quite a bit Maschinenpriester 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370956-kill-team-new-edition-box/page/6/#findComment-5719641 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Sheol Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 They will likely be in an Elites expansion, many of the Elites are missing from Factions. GW really loves to sell us rule books. That is true. I'm just a bit annoyed that I wont be able to use my Vanguard Space Marine kill team in full when the new edition drops. I'm also curious to see how a Space Marine kill team led by a Heavy Intercessor Sergeant and composed of Assault Intercessors and Intercessors fare in the edition. Don't worry too much on missing units just yet! The website is missing a lot of units that have been seen from the preview stream (praetorians, lychguard, terminators). I'd definitely wait until the website is properly updated or the book comes out!Don't rely on that videoThe first edition of KT was introduced by a video showing SW wolf riders and that unit was never in the game Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370956-kill-team-new-edition-box/page/6/#findComment-5719694 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhanist Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I believe the units that have been seen that aren't on the new site, are from pages seen in the rulebook from the livestream, not any marketing fluff.

They're physically shown in the book (photos of the models with their names underneath), it's assured that they'll have rules. This isn't a promotional video, this is GW employees literally flicking through the book. Commanders haven't been seen or mentioned yet and I personally hope it stays that way, Killteam is at it's best without Space marine captains that solo whole killteams Son of Carnelian, MithrilForge and Doctor Perils 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370956-kill-team-new-edition-box/page/6/#findComment-5719780 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antarius Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) Interesting that they use the faction labels Imperial Guard and Space Marines. So much for the copyright-based conspiracy theories, I guess. I’m very happy that KT gets its own ruleset now. The old one was ...fine... but it did seem like a wasted opportunity that everything had to be built on top of 40K.
