I still don't get the vox trooper. The way it reads is "next activation". So the moment they activate and have been expended they lose the APL. Not keep it until the next turning point. Are you saying to put it on already expended operatives so the next turning point you could potentially use it again to give 4 kasarkin 3 APL for a turn? Please explain?

Where are plague marines?

The Starter Set is a good place to put an AoD team together but unfortunately, i think GW kind of missed the plot when they made Strike Force Justian. It is still forcing new players to get their hands on a box of Intercessors and Assault Intercessors for the appropriate loadouts on the two mandatory specialist options, namely the Gunner and the Grenadier.

How does classified work? Does it cycle or is that team just not playable moving forward?

Luv me kommandos

Gonna be honest, I expected Legionaries would be on the list. I started KT during 1st edition, dropped off during 2nd, and now have been playing 3rd edition once a week with my friend for a few months now. We've played about a dozen games of Legionaries Vs. Void-dancer Troupe (Only teams that we had complete with the 3rd ed. team format change). There is a simplicity in only having to make (essentially) 6 decisions per turn. Start with a basic list: Chosen, Icon B, Mr. Claw, Melta-man, Butcher, & 1 Warrior, give them all the same mark (Khorne or Undivided are fun to start with), and use all 4 of the team equipment options. The characters rules are simple triggers to follow. Makes it easy to memorize everything over time, and the team is forgiving. You're rarely going to lose 2 operatives to a single enemy model bc of a bad move. As you get all the rules down, expand your army roster, test the Acolyte, Shrivetalon, Plasma-man, 3 heavy gunners (I wish the HG's played better in the game bc I have 3 cool older metal ones that sat in a box for 10+ years that I painted up for my team, lol) Great videos, keep it up. :-)

no aquilons? I've heard they are super noob friendly too

Hello, I was just looking at voidscarred but the fact that it is dated 1 year ago means that it can't be played anymore? Or will they be in that rotation again? thank you!

I’ve heard the Legionnaires are also a good start? I bought them, the Kasrkin, Imperial Agents (2bxs), and the Starter set (and also Hive Storm). I pre ordered Hieratic Circle, Novitiates and the Kinband (Croot). The Necrons look involved, but wanted to grab before FOMO 😅😢

I personally found grey knights an amazing team for new players (like myself). Not sure how relevant they are these days rules wise but i would still recommend for first time players. Straight forward and strong boys❤😂

Handy and well timed video.

Good timing: my brother-in-law is playing his first game of Kill Team with me this weekend and he’s painted up a Kommandos team.

for those interested in Corsairs and building with one box, it's pretty easy to magnetize the arms. I built all the options with one box. Tried that with legionaries, not as easy with the limited arms/pauldrons.

the starter set isn‘t even legal to play, is it? You can‘t play a sergeant and captain at the same time and you can‘t play a heavy and sniper at the same time. You could pretend that the sergeant is a regular warrior and get around that…

what are your thoughts on the farstalker kinband? im looking to get into kill team and keep coming back to them, I have a friend who already has 4/5 of the choices you mentioned.

show us your jumper!

i want a hellblaster in my squad, sad times. Just start playing kill team love this vid very helpful

Classified?

What about Nemesis Claw? I think they also could be decent for new players, but don't really know much about them, other than they might be one box and they are failry recent team

I think Hand of The Archon is more begginer friendly than Corsair Voidscarred. They stay in rotation for at least 1,5 year. They can be magnetized, but they are quite small so be careful (only 3 models need to be magnetized: Gunner, Heavy Gunner, Archsybarite). so you only need one box and you are still left with some leftover bits, even after building all 10 models. They are also imo easier to paint and imo bit easier to play.

The only reason I wouldn't recommend commandos because their getting classified soon. Otherwise spot on

For the Kommandos, the Comms Boy has a 6 attack Shokka pistol.

I already got 6 intersessors and 6 assault intersessors just need to assemble the captain from company heroes box, 1 eliminatior, and as soon as it comes into the mail 1 heavy intercessor with heavy bolter. Also my only complaint is that the captain is only limited to just a plasma pistol and power fist and not be allowed to use other weapons like the thunder hammer and power sword

Okay some good selections. I see that Aeldari christas jumper. Counterpoint though: new players should be playing the coolest Killteams and that means Harlequins hey?

thx

Now I have to learn up to the A tier placed void dancer troupe because I have tier d level skill. 😅

how would you build this if you only had one box out of interest? really dont like GW selling a team and saying "buy another to make it work!"

when me and my friend saw this we couldn't believe this. my friend plays guardsmen and says he hates how they cant have ogryn but ratlings can have 3 to frontline while all the ratlings are decent at ranged

im new to the game and still learning but one thing me and my friend discussed is how non elite teams just struggle to hit as well. we think they should be 3+ to hit and in some cases 2+. the reason we think this is because the draw for elites should be from their higher wounds, higher dmg and their faction skills. non elites already generally do worse dmg and have much lower wounds and saves so this would balance them a little in our eyes. the draw of non elites should be their numbers, specialists and faction skills and right now it just feels punishing to us if we arent using our elites. also legionaires are way to strong in our opinion. so much versatility and healing built into their team

How does Disgustingly Resilient react with Devastating?

When he talks about the free dash, he says “you don’t have to do it before or after a move action”. I’m fairly new to the game, but is it usually the case that you have to use a dash before or after a reposition?

Here I was, debating if I wanted to start a Navy Breachers kill team 😢

My friend built these and we played yesterday but he had a real tough time. Admittedly we are newish and still learning and I was running legionaries. But the move speed and lack of range really made him struggle. He got poison on some units but not many and my psyker can just heal them enough to make it irrelevant. Is there any suggestions people could provide to help my friend out?

Hello there, i bought this set for myself just for PMs minis, never played KT in my life or even knew about it. I want to comment on some of your points about the simplified rule book: 1) Tutorial scenarios are meant for one player (look bottom right at 8:20), even though you can learn with a friend. 2) Starter set was probably meant as an introductory point to get new players to KT, not for seasoned veterans, so it really wasn't confusing for me to go to full rules after playing the simplified ones. 3) Step-by-step tutorials that slowly introduced mechanics are godsend. Not only it allowed me to learn and get interested in KT, i also played with my elderly father. Imagine dumping all the ploys, statuses and advanced mechanics on him at once. He'd never get to play. This is probably my best warhammer purchase since leadbelcher.

ngl Nemisis is kinda harsh to play against given they can get into melee with little issue because they can be in the open but because they are licking a big dirty wall I cant shoot them. Pretty crappy rule ngl

I think Stolen goods should have been a d6. 1 you lose a cp. 2-5 you gain. 6 you gain they lose 1

How come you can't shoot obscured nemesis clow units? New obscured rules are just no crits and 1 autosave

The starter box set comes with both sniper and heavy bolter??????

Maybe the best option for one box now is boss with pistols, 3 specialists, 2 fighters? Gunner looks really bad.

Warpcoven and Legionary have a huge bump versus elite teams. What I get from this is players prefer elite teams in general and that’s feeding the top teams’ strengths. People should play more non-elite teams.

Gonna be fully honest, I'm wanting it specifically for the ratlings, and I'm also getting some Ogryns specifically so I can make one of each peep

So quick question, does the bomb squig start the game on engage?

Change one of the seek and destroy ops so to:: Score 1vp if 3 or more of your KT shoot a single enemy operative. 1vp extra if it dies.

First of all you do a fantastic job. Thx for your awesome work. I have a question about the smoke genade. If i place the smoke in the basement of a terrain. Do the smoke go trough the ceiling? So the effect works on the upper floor?

They better be cooking something for Death Korps

I just picked up a box of Brood Brothers, I’m a super beginner, know almost nothing about them😂 What is the easiest way to max out my operative selection? I don’t care about being Meta. Do I simply need to get a Patriarch? or do I need more operatives to max my roster?

I saw somewhere that 1 Ogryn/Bullgryn = 1 Ratling + the 0CP ploy effect instead of 1 Ogryn/Bullgryn = 1 Ratling. I could see how that might be how its supposed to be interpreted, but I also have a hard time understanding GW's way of writing anyways. Would appreciate if anyone could provide some clarification as to why its one way or the other.

What about plague marines? Are they S tier?
