Kill Team Dead Silence. Tau vs Space Wolves

[irlLordy]

No instigator carbine, unless you bring the full squad kinda sucks if you're building for kill team. Same with the missing absolver bolt pistol.

I feel the need for a few spare Reiver bodies to top up the KT to the full 10-man size and go max-plas.

The Instigator sucks anyway, but it's odd just like with the Plasma Gun being limited to one at both squad sizes.

Why, yes, I am a plasma pistol enjoyer, thanks for asking GW.

Faction Packs for Tau and Space Wolves now have the Kill Teams, as well as the Munitorum Field Manual update for points.

 

Stealth Suits are locked to 5 as had been feared, though Wolf Scouts can go up to 12 (albeit two of them being the lowercase wolves).

 

 

My two sqauds of 6 XV15 and one squad of 6 XV25 are rather sad.

Huh... I only now realized, millions of years after everyone else, that they're using traditional plasma guns... I think this might be the first we've seen of unit in Mk X armor using an older design weapon, barring the occasional boltgun on named a character? What designs are the plasma pistols?

This is the only picture I have seen so far. It is a bit end-on but it looks like a Primaris design plasma pistol I think.

It's because the Instigator is the alternative build for the Pack Leader model, so per strict adherence to the instructions, as you have to have a pack leader within the first 6 models, you will only be able to build the Instigator with the second lot of 6.

Contemporary, not classic.
