No, my wife would kill me after i already bought the termination box. I hope there will be a way cheaper starterbox later. Don't like the terrain anyway (ruins .... again....).

I can get whatever I want but at the prices I've seen, hard pass. I wanted more plastic mandrakes for my dark eldar but not at 80 bucks. 75 for nemesis claw is stupid too

Seriously. I paid less than that for my half of the nightmare box and got a piece of terrain out of it too.
>>
>>93908502
I have the money buy bought season 1 and 2 before totally stopping because I don’t need any of this shit.

Will just get the rules and maybe the cards. Maybe nothing because all the rules are free. I’m honestly done supporting GW anymore via purchases. Gay ass company.

Will still play tho. I got models.

I've been eyeing up kill team for a while to get my 40k fix, and this new edition seems like the way to go. I'm going to run a Phobos Strike Team and I don't care if they're bad, but I don't want to be taking some auto win option. What's the general opinion if someone pulls up with a phobos team?

Usually the reactions are good. (except those that hate spacemarines in general or those that think you are a looser for not picking the strongest teams)
They are still a bit on the weaker side. for now, we have no idea if that is still the case in the new edition

Dang I just bought a team like 4 weeks ago. What are the chances those bastards at GW will sell the accessories separately?

>>93908841
Cards are separate, they just come with unique tokens probably for like 15USD more over the current box

Oh you were talking about the new box. Then you're right, I guess.

>>93908841
Just check eBay after a week or so

Yes yes, but I have my Heresy stuff for regular marines. And scouts are basically children, I do not condone child labour.

>>93908739
That's perfect, if they're a weaker team I'm happy.

So how much more expensive is this box compared to the last one.

How much of an easy mode is Intercession squad?
I've been playing with my brother who bought the starter and so far it's 3-0 for me. 2 times against Veteran Guard 1 against Kommandos. Although I gotta say Orks did much better than Krieg because the Squid taught me an important lesson about spacing.
>>
>>93908502
I won't be buying it whether I have the dough or not. Plenty of terrain already where I play, no interest in either team, and going to see how it goes with the digital rules before buying anything hard copy that's going to likely be obsolete immediately anyway.
>>
>>93908959
It's the most noob-friendly team in the game, and against a player that doesn't know how to take advantage of the activation advantage they become oppressively tanky and hard-hitting.
>>
>>93908959
In current edition an experienced Guard or Kommandos player has a massive advantage against Intercessors. The thing is that guard especially takes a good understanding of their game plan to play properly.
>>
>>93909012
>oppressively tanky and hard-hitting
That has been the experience so far, yeah. Shooting twice was brutal, especially with some elimination focused Seek & Destroy ops.

>>93909043
I see... We should probably have to find a more experienced opponent so he can kick my ass. Playing when neither side knows what its doing is rough.

So can anyone tell me what time preorders go up at on Saturday?

What are you guys thinking about the new Hot? Is Plasma Supremacy™ over?
It can't be mitigated with rerolls, but there's no longer a chance of smaller operatives cooking themselves to death after a single shot.
>>
Do we know anything about the core rules changes of this upcoming edition?
>>
>>93909237
Yeah, everything. There's a full book leak on the kill team reddit. Somebody got it early.
>>
>>93909234
The nerfs to the plasma damage profile will probably do more to discourage it as the be-all end-all.

i hate that it favours elite teams so much.
>>
>>93909459
>oh no the man in power armor can handle his weapon exploding in his face better than Jerry
>>
>>93909510
NTA, but for me it's not as much about tanking damage, as about elite operatives having a smaller chance of exploding in the 1st place.
>>
>>93909510
i am not saying it makes no sense i still hate it from a gameplay aspect
>>
>>93909459
I certainly don't think it should be based on BS. It'll make BS2+ pretty much free to overcharge because of low risk, and so I bet we'll see a lot of plasma pistols limited to BS3+ when the wielder normally would have 2+.
It would've been so simple to make the rule "Hot X" where X is the number you have to roll equal to or above to avoid going boom. That could let them design less dangerous Hot penalties when needed, and adjust for alternative ballistic skills.
>>
>>93909733
the problem is not only that the risk of triggering is low with bs2+ it also makes min-max 2 damage. both together are just mean.

>>93909733
I mean if even the Space Marine captain only hits on 3s, how many units with plasma would you even expect to have a 2+ roll?
>>
>>93909823
Yeah, the exponential power of it when tied to BS is rough. If there is an Overcharge Lasguns ploy that gives Piercing 1 and Hot it's not going to suck because those shots have a chance of chunking 6 wounds off a guardsman, instead of them limiting it to rolling a 2 or lower for balance.

>>93910020
There is not much to say. 3 missions (kill, take objectives, reach other side of the board) and 6 npo profiles (light middle heavy for both range and melee options), take a team (or two halfs in case of two players). that's practically it.
>>
>>93908502
>230 ding dong dillerydoos
that's not much of a discount compared to the other boxes
>>
>>93910247
What are you talking about? Seems quite similar to octarius despite price rises. Terrain alone would probably be 230ish, teams seem to cost 75-80 now (looking nemesis claws 75 and mandrakes 80) rulebook 60, team book 55ish cards no clue and kill-team essenials+ no clue.
>>
>>93910066
>that's practically it.
A little bit snooze, no?
>>
>>93910426
Yep, it is just tailored for new players that don't have the confidence to play against other players yet or some small things you can do if you are stuck at home or something. Not a real game mode, at least yet, they did mention to improve that thing later, MAYBE they actually do it.
>>
I'll see if the small gang of players at our shop would crowdfund the starter to have at the shop. But otherwise I'll just enjoy the free rules for the teams I own while they're free.
>>
>>93908657
Yeah that's more or less where I am with it. I can pick up resin proxies for two dollars a fig roughly I just can't justify paying almost 5 times that. I'm literally saving what this would be for a 3d printer.
>>
>>93909234
>Is it over
I think the fact that the new Overcharged Stat line is only AP1 or Piercing 1 or whatever they call it now is the real killer. The new hot brings it into a reasonable place. I think the new Plasma, New Flamer and the Grenade Launcher lines are now very closely balanced.
>>

I bought Octarius new for 180$ when it came out
>Kill Teams were 60$ at the time: 120$
>Terrain was around 100$-120$
>total was $240 in box contents, $60 dollars saved compared to buying separately
unless it's going to be discounted on Amazon it doesn't seem worth it
>>
Since 3e is promising to get rid of DF stat, how do you think the saves will be handled in the new edition?
>>
>>93910613
well 180 was retailer price i guess? i googled and it was supposed to be 200 back then.
you did save more with octarius because of the octarius book,the kill team essentials and the cards. ths time the essentials kit is bigger and everything is more expensive. so the % discount is probably pretty similar. soooooo what? i mean it is not cheap i get that but has nothing to do with the discount of thing to buy them seperate.
>>
>>93910652
Same as befor. Everyone has default DF3 now. It is in the core rules instead of every individual operator.
>>
>>93910652
If you couldn't already guess from everything else remaining the same, the rulebook leak confirmed that defense dice start at 3 as a default instead of being a stat now. It's the same as before.
>>
>>93910652
corerules say everyone throws 3 dice, i am more curious how they handle the Gellerpox wich had df2 befor.

could be, but they also could make the throw worse instead (5+ to 6+) or reduce the wounds from 2 to 1. would make more sense. that reduces the datacard text, what they seem to do in this edition.

Haven't touched kill team since it's first release in 2018, thinking about giving it another go to try and bring some friends into it since games and much shorter and it's way cheaper than 40k.
What's the better game gameplay wise, 2018 or 2021?
>>
>>93911349
2024
>>
>>93911349
KT24 is the slightly better version of KT21, which itself is miles ahead of KT18 when talking about gameplay.
>>
>>93911400
>>93911412
Have either of you played a game of 24?
>>
>>93911469
I played a game with the new barricades and obscuring, it's barely different, ladders help make very tall maps playable so that's great.
>>
>>93911469
I've played enough KT21 to see the good the new changes are going to do. Balance might be a bit off at first, but that'll be fixed before long.
>>
Is this release going to be significantly better than 21?
>>
>>93911589
Nah, it's gonna be significantly worse before the first balance pass, then incrementally better.
>>
>>93911469
>>93911589
The the new obscuring changes the game quite a bit making LoS blocking terrain way more important. It is quite a bit harder to not get shot down. Over all still better thought. Just a question how that shifts the game balance between melee and ranged with the new team rules. So 24 feels mostly better for now.
>>
>>93908502
What books would you guys recommend for someone getting into KT (and 40K in general)?
>core book?
>do I need a codex for my team?
Depending on your answers I may get a ripped version of this stuff and just bring an iPad, would that be looked down upon at a LGS for open play?
I know there’s free rules for assault intercessors, would that be okay? Or should I get the core book as well?
>>
>>93911966
You could buy books for GW prices or you could go to wahapedia.ru that has all the rules for free and is constantly updated
>>
>>93911966
If you're playing at an official GW store you won't be able to play with ripped rules, otherwise, I doubt anyone will give a shit. The rules for every team will be free after KT24 drops, which is probably in 2-3 weeks.
>>
I predict this edition will be a mess balance wise at the start. Everything seems to favor marine. IDK in 21 we have gone from 3/5 objective to always 6 because Marine were oppressive with so few Objective. Now we return to 3 objective and nerf weapon like Plasma to Oblivion, a balanced BS 3+ Plasma has only 34% chance to kill a 14w Marine.

I am really excited about the new edition, but I fear we will need a few balance patch to put thing in a stable situation.
>>
>>93911966
for kill team you should know the core rules, buying the book would be fine BUT BE AWARE next month comes a new core book,
the team rules will be available for free next month because of the new edition launch.
40k you should know the core rules and you "need" a codex to play your faction.
technically you don't need to buy any books for those informations you need to play. others can teach you the core rules or you can look it up online somehow or just watch youtube tutorials.
>>
>>93912119
Sure thing how could it be different. funny that most hard elite going teams were compendium that are now gone anyways.

No, anon. It's now called Angels of Death. It's Intercession with added operative options from Strike Force Justian, meaning you can pick a Captain as a leader and probably a Phobos Eliminator and a Heavy Intercessor with a Heavy Bolter.

Regardless I wanted to ask I was thinking about doing my kill team for space Marines. I wanted to do a custom faction. How would I go about doing that? I understand you know come up with a name and symbol and a paint scheme but I mean in gameplay do I just choose the codex that I want my troops to play like.?

lol forgot to write my reply to this post, it's very likely marine teams will go down to 5 operatives, seeing as everything seems to be a buff for them

Says practically every major kill team content creator
consistently top tier of everyone's rankings, every single time. Strongest team against elites defacto. Stronger than other horde shooting armies i.e vet guard, kasrkin. The only teams the pathfinders have trouble with is teams like mandrakes and kommandos they hard counter plenty of teams and thus are S tier

>>93913001
Yeah pretty much. Used to be Space Wolves though you had to paint them up as space wolves since they didn’t have sucessor chapters but the nulore has them with successors now so yeah any chapter with rules you can throw on now for your dudes or whatever.
>>
>>93912747
There's one issue and that's that the box you've bought is from KT18, so it's a month away from being two editions old.
The good news is that not all the models are out of this edition. The bad news is you'll need a few more things.
>reivers
You only have five, and unless the new edition lowers space marine body counts by a full member that means you'll need at least one more model to build a legal 6-man Phobos Strike Team. The boxed set for the phobos strike team would be the best extra box, but reivers are considered an important part of the team so having some to start off is a good thing.
>fire warriors
These are technically not in this edition, but you can play them to some extent as pathfinders and the drones are good extras. The issue is you'd need the pathfinder weapons and the team upgrade sprue to build the specialists (unless you've got an expansive bits box and can convert them up from that).

It's the unfortunate situation with how they've done teambuilding in KT21 and 24 that a lot of models just aren't playable and that you need a bunch of specifically equipped specialists to field a reasonably competitive team. At least you weren't planning to play tyranids in KT, they got shafted something immense.

>>93913001
There is no faction-specific space marine team, though the angels of death team (intercessors plus a few extras) can choose chapter tactics to emulate specific subfactions. Reivers (that is, phobos strike team) however are the same regardless of chapter, so you don't need to worry about that for rules.

You probably want to check up wahapedia.ru for the KT21 rules. KT24 is just around the corner but it's going to be mostly the same, and the teams mentioned above are all carrying over.
>>
>>93913157
k those are all pretty new videos but if you say that it is for a long time now i just believe you there. i never looked tier lists but winrates of that team are most of the time around 50% all edition with small exceptions. so i thought they are mid (nobody here plays them so no first hand experience)

They tried asymmetry in 2018 with commanders. It was a disaster. They were so strong they could body entire teams.
>>
>>93913353
it can almost work:
This operative can only move in 3 inch increments, (round any extra movement up), can perform the first 2 inches of climb for free, and cannot climb more than 2 inches (even if a ladder or another ability would make it count as 2 inches or less). Whenever this operative is going to move a 3 inch increment, it must choose to charge forward or turn, when it charges forward, it must move in a straight line, whenever it turns, place an axis point exactly 90° to one side of the tank, at a minimum of 3 inches away (worsen this value by increasing it by 1 inch for every 3 wounds this model has lost). It must move forward and remain equidistant to this axis point throughout the entire move.
Grot mechanic (1AP): This operative regains 2d3 wounds.
Crew splattered: if this operative's wounds ever become 5 or fewer, this action is lost and decrease the APL of this operative by 1 (this can only happen once).
Take it slow! (1APL): you can turn this model and the next time it moves this turning point, treat the minimum axis point distance as half it's value.
I would applaud the madman crazy enough to deal with it.

Oh wow, you're right. I didn't catch that. It does also say that "Unaugmented humans are comparatively weak in a galaxy full of terrors, so the Death Korps generally have a lot of bodies in the killzone.", so I wonder if they will make the 14 man squad baseline.
>>
>>93914227
I considered Sentinels at first, but then I remembered that the current model has an 80mm base which is fuckhuge for a small skirmish game (And the idea of vehicles being present is already pushing it as it is). Plus I was going for models that already came 2-3 to a box, while Sentinels are only 1 to a box. 2 Kastellans and a Datasmith is an entirely different thing compared to 3 Sentinels.
>>
>>93914464
I believe the Patriarch is 80mm, so there is precedent, but I personally don't think vehicles should be in KT

Is it even worth getting Team now before they reveal all changes?

Yes because once they repack your choice of dudes they'll be 5-10 dollars more

New to KT. Never played 40k. Want to play Space Marines. Should I just get a box of assault intercessors and call it a day, or should I pick up phobos strike or something else?
>>
>>93915390
The big answer is to get what you think looks best and to take your time practicing how to paint everything. It’s a collector’s hobby first and foremost but you should always try to have fun. So which of those kits catch your eye best, anon?
>>
>>93915390
Just getting a box of assault intercessors gives you a valid, insanely simple, but slightly underpowered team. If you're totally new to tabletop gaming it's a good idea. But yeah, as that anon said, what looks cooler is always priority.
>>
>>93915390
I will tell you by my own experience. They look cool and for "newbie" games they are strong. I have kommando orks and Veteran Guard. I played 4 times vs my brother Intercessors and not once I was close to winning.

I think a cool tyranid KT would be one where you spread spores across the map and while you're in the sporezone, you get buffs, but the spore tokens are easily destroyed and being outside of your sporezone makes you weaker. Think Zerg spreading their slime to make spots to build

If that would be the case, yes BUT everything seperatly got more expensive as well... do you not understand that? 3 years of price rises from GW and repagaging for the new edition made everything more expensive not just the starter box. I even gave you the rough numbers. Also you should know how expensive just a couple of cards and an upgrade sprue from gw can be.
>>
>>93916659
Depends on store and country. Here in Germany most stores offer 20% on GW, and only for "sale" items they go lower. There are a few exceptions who offer outright 25%, usually sold out in moments for all the interesting preorder items. Shops in Poland offer better discounts by default, but shipping cost usually eats away those 5% of extra saving.
I assume the same is true for other countries too.
>>
>>93916922
Buying that stuff separately is retarded.
You wait for it to show up on eBay, from the people who bought the big box and don't need it.

We're their rumours for stormboyz and swooping hawks. Swooping hawks are like 99.99% confirmed coming in the new year now (although not necessarily for KT) and stormboyz would make sense now that we know kommandos are squatted soon.
>>
>>93919276
That's not a rumour. They explicitly state that in the article. Most models leaving KT will still be available for 40k and all models lose their rules after 2 editions, which for all existing teams up to hivestorm is the next edition.

We only played 4 games so far. First two(as Guard) we played with only KT Starter light terrain so I was basically blasted to hell. Other two as Orks we got some paper cutout metal containers. It was better to some degree but still he was putting one of his marines on high ground early and in last night game I lost my sniper at the beggining. I feels hard fighting vs 3AP dudes, it's also tricky moving my melee guys into actual fight without them getting damaged. Getting in melee is also a problem since well marines hit hard. Only success I had in dealing some real damage was with Rokkit Boy and Dakka boy. Those were not games where I focused objectives, my only one was to survive. Still only 4 games in so I will hopefully learn but as said before it was quite shock how hard Marines stomp. Pic related from yesterdays rape.

With vantage points on the board you should definitely add some heavy terrain for the drop zones. If either of you were playing a team with one of the better blast weapons in the game they'd be able to take out a quarter of the team first activation. Heavy terrain to take cover behind in the drop zone will prevent this.
You also definitely want some LoS-blocking heavy terrain in the middle of the board to prevent an operative from retaliating against the entire board from a single position. It should be possible to engage one model in a firefight without being exposed to every other model on the board getting to shoot in return with minimal movement.
I'll say that it's no wonder the intercessors are winning when they can fully use 2APL per turn just to deal ranged damage, that'll make short work of any enemy team.

Pic related is an example of a board I set up for a random game some weeks back with necrons vs admech, and is a pretty good amount of terrain for a game. You can also look up Turning Point Tactics for examples using the official terrain sets, those are a pretty good standard for games in my experience.

You can see why I keep saying that marines might be 5 operatives now, all these advantageous changes for low model count teams and 5 is the lowest number on the kill op.

Warpcoven can meet all of those model counts due to their very flexible list.
Corsairs is 9.
Blades of Khaine and Void Dancer are both 8 dudes.
Hierotek is 8 as well.

I was about to say the exaction squad is maybe the best modern GW kit I've ever put together and has basically no flaws, but I got to the assembling the leader and realised (after gluing) that the pistol holster part has a huge hole in it designed for the shotgun grip to fit into in the shotgun loadout pose but if you assemble it in the mace and shield pose there's nothing to cover it so you're left with a blatantly unfinished model.

It's a rule showcase. There is a lot of dice manipulation in the game to give players control. Otherwise it would just be pure rng.
All those "gotcha" moments as you called it are because those are new teams with (officially) unreleased rules so they need to explain what they're doing and why.
Also it's both, they're fags and you're a whiny bitch.

>>
>>93931071
The legitimate product comes without included errata, balancing, and FAQs, you'll have to include those yourself. Meanwhile wahapedia has interlinked pages and hoverover popups to help quickly navigate the rules. Sure, read the official print first, but once you have and just need to refer back to the material wahapedia will work better than screenshots at least.

Because they're staging a game to reveal the rules in a dramatic way. In real life you both sit down and read the rules before playing. They're doing this for the audiences benefit.

They're putting on an episode of yugioh.
>>93931285
Rules wise both teams are pretty weak because they lack any crazy tricks but the kasrkin are very deadly against casual opponents because they will automatically kill anything they shoot and very harshly punish sloppy movement.

He's an elite melee specialist that hits on 4s. Basically unless you set him up to use his passives he will lose to most other melee enemies and his big damage will get parried off.. He wants to do the charging, If the enemy manages to charge him instead he gets caught with his pants down and likely gets outrolled. If you do manage to set him up well he will do some work, just not very reliable.

I have an option to grab Inquisitorial Agents for cheap. How are they? Are Auxiliary lists good? I've already got some Kasrkin so I could get more value out of them by including them in 2 teams.
>>
>>93935208
Fun team, and I can see kasrkin making for good auxiliaries this edition with them having BS3+. Previously it was vetguard, breachers, or in niche cases SoS that were the common choices I believe. Auxiliaries have at least always been the better choice over pure agents, and I should hope that holds true in the new edition as well.
>>
>>93935208
what he said BUT BE AWARE you may get in a bit of trouble with your models because of tha ap2 limitation. it is possible that you cant use your kasrkin gunners or have to be careful how to equip and build your agents.
>>
>>93935335
Thanks!

>>93935375
>tha ap2 limitation
Can you elaborate? Is this like if I tried to bring a plasma gunner with a plasma servitor?
>>
>>93935386
Including Ancillary Support, you can only select up to two operatives equipped with weapons that have the AP2 special rule (even if only in one of their profiles).
so you can have max two plasma or melta combined. the servitor the gunners also remember the pistolier. but we saw a plasma weapon that no longer has ap2 in the next edition so it could change in 3 weeks.
>>
>>93935386
>>93935417
oh yea right also the demo trooper
>>
>>93913204
No, they have never been.
In a KT21, best factions always have been Vets, Kommandos, Pathfinders, Cultists, Goats.
On a average-below average level, there was a period when Intercession dominated, yes. But as soon as people found how to counter them, that ended.

In KT18 best factions were IG, Eldars, AdMech, Necrons (flayed one spam list, not elite Lychguards or Immortals).
Okay, at the very start of the edition, DG were considered strong, as their flails of corruption had damage 2, but for some reason GW fixed that soon. It's strange because they didn't give a fcuk about the balance for next 3 years.
In the end of the edition, GW added few space marine models with 2 wounds instead of 1 and that made them a little more viable. I even managed to win one tournament with them, but generally, they remained weak.

So we have a score of 6 years (2018-2024) of Elite teams sucking.
>>
>>93913204
The only semi decent elite team is Nemesis Claw, every other 6 man team gets dunked on by Timmy and his 14 operatives
>>
>>93908502
So let's summarize the differences between KT 2024 and KT 2021.

- You can shoot into Obscure
- Obscure is determined in a bit easier way, but still complicated
- All start in Conceal
- More rules to Vantage points
- Less Objectives
- VPs for killing
- Everybody has grenades, that are probably worse btw
- Always 4 pieces of equipment
- Other scouting phase
- Less CP
- No archetypes?
- More various reactions
- Overwatch is more dangereous

That't it?

Tempted to gamble for an eliminator, or a heavy intercessor. What do you guys think?

>>93935971
I think he's talking about Overwatch getting replaced with Intercede, or React or something like that. Basically it gives you 1 AP to spend on whatever you want, with the caveat that you can't move more than 2 inches.
Gonna be pretty damn good if Intercession keeps their 1AP Fall Back tactic.
>>
>>93935984
but he mentioned overwatch seperatly and those are not reactions in any way those are just the addiotional activations if your enemy outnumbers you.

I would like to have the heavy intercessor myself but i would not gamble for that. you get em easier via ebay.

Multiple streamers already have those boxes, No idea if they also have any rules to spoiler besides the hivestorm box. I mean it is not like the new boxes come with rules.

There is now a solo mode so having some terrain can be useful even when you are stuck at home alone.

Grenades swapped indirect for no cover so it isn't as bad as it might seem.
>>
>>93940236
Not to mention the worse BS. They'll be pretty good for horde teams that hit on 4+ anyways, but for BS3+ teams and teams that already have good ranged weapons they're going to be significantly less useful.
>>
>>93940338
But anyone can use them now, so I think that balances it out. A lot of games in KT '21 your guy with the grenade becomes a priority target and that's just 3 EP wasted.
>>
>>93935588
No scoring from objectives TP 1.

Imperial agents have a team
Deathwatch isn't a real faction and are likely an edition away from getting squatted

Weren't Custodes stupidly good too in that edition? I am super torn about that edition because it got me and other people really into it, but so much shit was imbalanced and everybody played the scammy plasma IG fuckery. I also remember very early there was a cultist spam cheese list that took some early tourney but they messed with stats to make it not really a thing. I do get why fat fucks like Tabletop Minions guy gets mad they got rid of list building.
