Kill Team FAQ - A Calm and Rational Reading part 1 of 347

[@GlassHalfDead]

Kill Team gives us some HOT new rules, and I'm here to take complicated new rules interactions and make them SLIGHTLY less complicated WHEN I UNDERSTAND THEM you're welcome I love you.

The significance of the Chosen ability is that you can no longer use it to effectively get 15 wounds during a combat. For instance, harlies with a Kiss can open for 10w and strike the final 3w off on the 2nd hit. This now kills the Chosen. Before, the harly would open for 10, the Chosen would crit back for 7 and regain 2w, leaving him at 5. The harly would then take off another 3, but the Chosen, now on 2 hp would finish off the harly. This is basically a nerf. And if you ask me, on the wrong team.

Circle Hello! Thanks for the roundup of the FAQ & errata.

[@GlassHalfDead]

Thanks for watching! This was a bit off the cuff because it caught me by surprise, but your constant support is appreciated, my man!

[@NoRedFear]

Glass you need to read the little text at the start :p it says there is an asterisk next to the newly updated items Edit: if the document isn't completely new

[@GlassHalfDead]

That would have been a realllllllly good idea. And thinking about it now, this was something I learned the last time there was an FAQ. Regardless, I'm not in the most Kill Team focused mode right now, so that's on me!

[@NoRedFear]

@@GlassHalfDead happens, try to remember it, it will save you time next time ^^ Anyway, thanks for you input on these FAQ, in a quick fashion too!

[@chopsunst]

I’m slightly salty about Wyrmblade’s Hiding ruling. They don’t have dynamite, they have Blasting Charges, which are pretty pants, and Cult Ambush made them slightly less pants.

[@markzeman4219]

There is actually a hint in the rules about traversable's cost. And that's the commentary about Scalable! Scalable ignores part of the movement cost and the commentary explicitly calls that "moving 2 circle instead of the usual 3 circle". Traversable is very similar, just _adds_ instead of ignoring, meaning that it should count as moving 3 circle if you traverse. Hence your interpretation is correct. It's not absolutely airtight, and I'd appreciated them clarifying, but I'm pretty sure that's the intended way.

[@fug_7]

I would be inclined to agree that the physical distance moved is secondary to the cost of the movement, since the fluff of that is saying it requires more movement to clear the same amount of space (they are still moving, just move movement on the same space). (for the rubric move question) It's basically the same concept as "difficult terrain" in D&D and other ttrpgs, where it takes more movement to clear the same space, but the movement is still incurred.

[@XDfunnyguy]

Something I noticed when reading the void dancers rules is that the shadow seer gets to cast a second power without a dice roll which feels wierd since voidscarred (and similarly) legionaries have the test +mw3 and warpcoven has to spend a cp. Just feels wierd i guess on a team that's already top tier and 3apl with 10 bodies.

[@krzysztofdrzewiecki5618]

I think that I've posted Final Litany question to them - Final Litany was giving you also WS 2+ and my question was, why? model which is kept alive by tactic cannot fight, so why this model is getting WS. It was neatpick, but once confusing (when it was not clear, that such models cannot fight)

[@GlassHalfDead]

I think they get their FAQ rules from multiple sources. The KT email, my discord, and all of the playtesters. I've been assured that they do check their email account :P

[@andeejaym]

I've got even less hope that elites will ever be a legitimate choice when playing against non compendium teams. Regarding the Legionaries daemon blade nerf, for a team that already struggles with survivability they've been made even worse and for no good reason aside for taking away a minor chance for a marine unit to survive, barely, form combat when carrying a magical healing sword

[@thomasshea308]

Nicely done you just saved the club some time

[@bradp6452]

Seems like spreading this over so many documents is a pain in the butt.

[@XDfunnyguy]

I'm pretty sure more pdfs = better rules. Next time I'd like them to break each changed rule into it's own separate pdf.

[@TheBigDirty716]

Maybe we'll gets balance dataslate soon that will remove grenades from ga2 vet guard troops

[@wrathofswe]

Edit: I went to discord to ask, all cleared up thanks for the video. 2nd Edit: I was correct. So Aspiring Champion gets a Free Action, am I right in thinking he can not use an action twice with this Free Action?

[@Inquisitor_Vex]

Could’ve edited in the answer too. I’m guess it’s a yes, they can’t use the same action twice.

[@grafair3587]

@@Inquisitor_Vex that is the rule. "Free" means "0 APL cost", not "can make double action". P 60 Core Book.

[@Inquisitor_Vex]

@@grafair3587 yeah I’m sure it’s been covered in a previous video. Cheers, bud.

[@B3457LY]

Would it really kill GW to add beside every addition to these docs the date that each change was made? It's so hard to comprehend what new stuff has been added, especially since they remove access to the old versions so you can't do a comparison yourself unless you've kept the old ones handy

[@Locnoriano]

It seems the most controvertial rule in all the erratas, Blast, is not covered in the video. If it is, please tell me the time it starts get explained.

[@GlassHalfDead]

So, I must have edited it out, I think. If I recall it's because I gave a real rambley statement that amounted to "they're updating how blast, squig, and demo all work to act as they SHOULD" but said in such a longwinded way that it actually detracted from the video, so my bad there.

[@krzysztofdrzewiecki5618]

So, concealed model with silent weapon on vantage point will never get any cover against shots from below, even if it is behind ramparts of some kind and as such it will always be a valid target? Not very intuitive, but this way vantage point is more of tradeoff, not just bonus. Do I get this right?

[@drew222k3]

I would marry that concept with the Q: on page 4 of Core Designers Commentary. So if a operative on vantage moved to edge and behind a rampart it would have cover even though cover line goes underneath. As they say it’s there to realistically provide cover and use common sense lol

[@krzysztofdrzewiecki5618]

Good point, I missed Q on page 4 (I have to go through changes more carefully) - it also seems to be new one.

[@theswampus670]

So maybe I'm the only one confused this, but since it wasn't addressed in the FAQ; If the Locus Charges and Fights, Does the Duelist ability allow it to Resolve 2 dice before the target has resolved any or just 1?

[@grafair3587]

There is no need for FAQ. No matter who initiate the fight, there is always attaker and defender. So if Locus made Fight action he is attacker and can make "bonus parry" before his normal strike/parry.

[@theswampus670]

@@grafair3587 thanks, thats what i thought, but my roommate and I have been debating it for awhile.

[@BB-pn2qv]

Jez, GW gets lazy sometimes at the last step, why didn’t they update the blue highlights?

[@si2foo]

un subscribing mate i thank you for the gotten you have given me and the help with old Killteam rules but I have no intention of supporting the new killteam business model which is the exact same ridiculous as 40k of releasing the game in bits and always having it be unbalnced as fuck

[@GlassHalfDead]

Totally understand. Thanks for being along for the journey so far and stay safe out there!

Hey, you can hear the room on the audio. I couldn't watch this video.
