9:08 - the plasma gunner was more than circle beyond the heavy cover (the oil rig) between him and the rocket boy, and should not have been available as a target due to being obscured.

[@wilfriddanjou4704]

Snipers generally (universally as far as I know) have the ability to, one way or another, fire while concealed, either through the “silent” weapon trait, or through a special action. In this case, the krieg sniper has the silent weapon trait. For the record the ork sniper has a special action to do it.

This has to be my favorite batrep you have done on the channel yet. I love Kill Team more than any other tabletop game and you guys did it such incredible justice.

[@BishopHavel]

Loving the return to Kill Team! A small thing though, models in conceal can still fight, despite not being able to charge. So if a concealed model is charged, they're still able to fight on their activation (assuming they weren't killed). The core book specifies fighting can only be done in engagement range, it does not say a model has to be in the engage order to do so (as it specifies with shooting).

[@battlebrotherstabletop]

Guys, this is great. Love to see your killer production quality tackling Kill Team, it’s a great game and I’m excited to see where you guys take this. Hope you’re having fun playing it!

[@sevenayashinedown1283]

Mortal wounds on the sniper rifles happen immediately, those sixs push through their mortal wounds to the targets before saves even happen. It makes snipers extremely dangerous if they roll well. "In Death, Atonement," it's a great tactical ploy to use on your guys that haven't activated, especially if they have some untapped punch. If your plasma gunner gets dakka'd down before he gets a chance to take his activation, use that stratagem. Take your plasma gun stand him back up, over charge him and blast something. He goes down after his activation still but at least you get some use out of it and it really makes your opponent respect your guys a bit more. Ideally you down someone before they go, but if you do that, they get a chance to take their turn. Using it to take or activate an objective, plant a banner, and or shoot something is incredibly valuable especially as they don't count as injured for it. Also, I strongly recommend bringing your spotter, his mortar barrage is silent and can do a boat load of damage, it's a free asset to bring and you can keep him in conceal the entire time. Put him high up on a vantage point in conceal and you can bomb stuff the entire game hitting any opportunistic groups. This is particularly good on the first round if your opponent is playing cagey, it can force them to split their forces or suffer the steel rain. Additionally, you can pair up your spotter with your sniper, and the spotter can activate your sniper and treat an enemy model of your choice as having an engage order allowing you to snipe them off. It can really catch someone off guard when their supposedly concealed leader gets capped.

[@ripdot1904]

Really cool video!!! Would love to see you guys do more of this in the future. Anton already pointed out a lot of corrections, but there are a few more that I noticed. 12:22 Comms Boy can only give the extra APL to a model that is visible to him, so he couldn't have given it to that model from behind that wall. 19:28 All models can perform a fight action while concealed, not just the Orks. It usually doesn't come up because most armies need an Engage order to charge, but it's really helpful because if you're already in engagement range you can have your model with a conceal order kill the enemy it was already engaged with, and then stay concealed behind the cover it moves behind. 23:52 The Veteran Guardsman Tactical Assets specify that you use them "when you would activate a ready friendly operative" meaning that you need to have at least one veteran that hasn't been activated in order to use it. Nick couldn't have used the airstrike normally because he was out of activations, and he also couldn't have used it to overwatch. You guys have already been getting a lot of corrections, so I'm sorry if it's starting to seem like dogpiling. Kill Team has a lot of little finnicky rules, and it's really easy to get tripped up if you're not looking for them. I hope this doesn't discourage you all from making more Kill Team content in future, because the production value you guys have is phenomenal and it's so much fun to watch you all play

[@antongrigoryev6381]

Great game! I've been waiting for it for a long time. However, I see a lot of mistakes here. It's one of your first games, isn't it? Some notes: - At the start of the game, you give Orders to operatives right after you deploy them, not after both players finished deploying. I.e. the Attacker will see the Defender's Orders. - I see you skipped Equipment, Tac Ops, Barricades, and Scouting steps. These are pretty important for the game, though I can see wanting to keep first games simpler. Keep them in mind in the future though, it adds a lot of fun to the game! - On the first turn, I'm pretty sure Plasma would be Obscured from Rokkit since the oil pump in the middle is heavy and is right between them. The same goes for Vet Sniper shooting into Rokkit. It's a bit complicated mechanic, but important for the game balance. - You have mistaken how AP works in Kill Team. Unlike in 40k, here AP reduces Defense (i.e. how many dice you throw for saves), not the save characteristic. Ork Nob in the end would still save at his 4+, but throw only 2 dice. - And a bonus point. I can't tell from the game whether you know it or not, but it's a common point to miss, so I'll throw it here just in case. Vantage Point only cancels Conceal if the target is behind Light terrain; if it gets Cover from Heavy terrain, you still can't shoot it. But overall, I really liked this game. Can't wait for more!

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Were were intending to keep it simple for these first games, so intentionally didn't use the equipment Tac Ops etc. In the future we will look to incorporate it. I just went and re-read the AP rules. It says -1 defence. Which we thought it ment like 40k.... Frick. Your right. urg. Thanks for the heads up!

@@PlayOnTabletop Also want to point out when you safe you dont get a "free save" you take a die and it automatically becomes a save so the DF becomes 2 dice thrown and one auto save.

[@ForTehNguyen]

@@PlayOnTabletop yea AP is VERY strong in KT, especially against the elite operatives

Another thing to point out: Conceal only turns off Charge and Shoot (barring special rules); you can still fight if you're in combat, even if you're in conceal.

[@patrickmchugh948]

[@GundamReviver]

Love seeing kill team on the channel again! Pretty good match for a first go! You guys did forget the "sidequests" though (tac ops cards) since those might be more "scinematic" and achievable goals for you guys they might be good. and to a lesser extent, how to determine who starts the first turn (the 123 triangle thing with an extra barricade, a dash, or being able to change one order) Aditional tip, might also want to display key team stat info, stuff like "special dudes left" and "% of army still alive" those usually give a good idea if a team is trouble or not.

Might want to clarify next time, but conceal orders don't prevent models from fighting, just charging and shooting. So you won't be able to *fight* on your turn, since you have to charge to get into engagement distance, but you can still technically *fight back* if a model has charged your operative.
