On this week’s episode, Brad and Eric talk about Kill Team from the perspective of a Warhammer 40K player. Which factions have a lot of Kill Team kits and which factions don’t, and why is that? Which factions deserve the most to gain new models or a unit refresh through a Kill Team update? And why update units through Kill Team instead of a normal release? Tune in to find out how this episode idea ended up becoming a long love letter for harlequins.

I needed a long episode to distract me, thanks

Bean

You call a squad of Blood Axes a Skwad.

Fen Panzardi

It’s called sugar skull in English (calaveras) in Spanish Also for the harlequins there still so much more they can pu from Carnevale

DunceCap64

Currently laughing because it seems that Brad forgot about the far stalker kinband giving the tau 4

46:32 The answer is Stormboyz. This is what I want the most but also probably works the best. KT is moving towards being more elite (just ask Kerry Jill Team) so I’d expect the model count for normal sized Ork Infantry to be >=6&<10 which tends to mean the unit won’t be reinforceable in 40k which would punish the Ork shooting in 40K where Stormboyz shooting is much more incidental. Also works with the small fly theme the current edition of KT has.

Absolute banger episode! Got me through the ride to- and 1 hour at work. That's way more than normal, and with an amazing topic too!

Henry

1:05:00 - you forgot the kroot kill team! Tau have 4!! Pathfinders, stealth suits, kroot farstalker kinban & vespids Absolutely agree that kill team should do another auxiliary unit, maybe even a psychic unit to add that part of the game that tau don't have?

Justin Lowell

From what I’ve heard, the upcoming kill teams are going to focus less on being refreshes of 40K units and more on being, as you say, “killteam for the sake of killteam” sets. So people who prefer 40K for whatever reason may want to temper their expectations. Personally my dream teams would be a Court of the Archon, a Genestealers team made up of corrupted aliens like Tau or Eldar or, if they do end up being 40K oriented, an expansion to the new Tallarien dog soldiers from the Huron box set. Just please no more flying teams, they’re annoying.

Okay, so when Brad gets sick he wakes up and chooses violence, some of these burns are gold

As Kill Team player I realy dont want big models in KT box. Its ok with c'tan when I dont need to buy it, but I hate that GW made Red Terror box. It was much more expensive, and only have 1 team, the thing that I want most in the game and normally get 2 of. Pls no more dedicated nemesis in quaterly box. Also you thanks to new books you can literly make nemesis from anything and we (KT players) dont need dedicated models. I like your ideas, they are cool af, but many of them are not best pick for KT imo. Like demons bigger than terminator would be too elite. Deathwatch/Raveners with 5 operatives are on edge of being too powerfull. Unless you make 1-2 powerfull models and some trash mobs for missions objectives. Also I love jump packs, but Vespids and Murderwing are enought teams to break movement rules.

MagosJoe

I miss kill team 2018

Men in Knights

Imperial Knights need some little dudes. Some sort of infantry that can join in on some of the army rules and run around holding things.

echoes act zero

Fellow kt head here, I can agree nemesis in a quarterly box stinks, I dont think the nemesis book should be the end all be all for this system. Id like more stuff like night bringer or red terror its basically minis board game built of the back of kill team where you just need a few 40k modles and you get a big art peice, its not for everyone and shouldn't be forced in like red terror, but I Definitely think it has merit

Frog_22

This is cool. I had no idea there was so much crossover between kill team amd 40k. Props to GW for making the models have rules in both systems.
