However it is a lot to get into it and it only has less than a year left. Hopefully GW replace it with a new Mech team after its gone.

[@TabletopImpulse]

I really hope that both the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Sisters of Battle get new teams before the end of the year.

Can’t believe we didn’t see this team at the top of the standings at Worlds.

[@TabletopImpulse]

Going to go ahead and assume this remark was sarcastic!

[@ouroborostriumphant]

You have missed a minor detail of list building. The cap of 6 is for gunners plus *non-leader* Sicarians (but the total limit of 5 Sicarians includes Leaders). If you have a Sicarian leader, you can have four other Sicarians and still have two gunners.

[@MDRLOz]

My word. Could they have made this any more fiddly to put together.

[@TabletopImpulse]

this only makes me more sure of myself that a Rustalker leader is the way to go.

[@LouisCockerill]

Why’ve I not even heard of this team 😂

[@TabletopImpulse]

Because they are both unpopular, and don't have a Kill Team specific product line.

I'm just building/painting my Hunter Clade team right now :) The sicarian choices are super hard to decide between... I was leaning towards 5 Infiltrators with the silent 5 shots 2/2 profile. Basically 5 mini-flamers with conceal/super conceal and power weapons for those moments they get close and personal. Not sure how much play it really has relative to straight up Ruststalkers, but I think perhaps a fun way to try it :)

[@TabletopImpulse]

It's definitely worth a try, I am just a simple man who likes simple and powerful operatives.

[@earnestwanderer2471]

Hey Dr. TI, I broke my own rule and set up a preorder for Brutal&Cunning with the FLGS. My son wants the ratling/Ogryn team and I think the elite Orcs look pretty decent. Hope I get to play at least one game before they get nerfed 😁

[@TabletopImpulse]

Hope you and your son enjoy!

[@majortom7186]

Five Rust Stalkers may well be the optimal way to play the team, but I'm not buying a new box of Sicarians to pivot the team from it's KT-21 itteration after getting a second set of Skitari to pivot from the KT-18 version no matter how much I like the team.

[@TabletopImpulse]

Fair, but they are cool models to build and paint.

[@majortom7186]

You've miss-read the name of the plasma gun. It's a Caliver (Kal-i-ver), not a Cavalier.

[@TabletopImpulse]

Dyslexia strikes again

[@majortom7186]

3:22 GW games always over-focus on melee. It's their major bias.

[@TabletopImpulse]

Perhaps true!

[@sebastianeraso108]

That abbility sucks, I believe also a +1 to hit or defend should be given to justify the deprecation

[@TabletopImpulse]

Mm, they could do that. I still think the best plan is to say the downside does not apply the first time in a game you select the doctrina.
