Kill Team 2021
Posted: Mon Aug 09, 2021 9:46 am
I guess since release is imminent we ought to make a dedicated thread!
There's a new edition of Kill Team coming out, and it looks like a complete overhaul, rather than a "skirmishification" of the standard 40K rules like the previous edition was. And it looks really strong!
The official site is here.
There's going to be a limited-run starter box with Death Korps of Krieg and Ork Kommandos, and the rulebooks (one for rules and one for army lists) will also be available separately, along with the various widgets and cards and such. They say the (very nice looking) terrain will also be made available separately some time after launch too.
I'm posting this now because the rules embargo has lifted and people who got preview copies are putting their various walkthroughs up.
Can You Roll a Crit's is here. Guerilla Miniatures (as they do) have a full walkthrough of the rules, plus a playthrough, up on their YouTube channel here. I'm sure there are others, but those two channels are my usual go-to.
Edit: Here's Goonhammer's, very nice as usual.
It'll all look pretty familiar to anyone who's played WarCry, which is 100% a good thing in my book. I'm pretty excited to give it a go - it looks like it has the cinematic back-and-forth of WarCry with a bit more crunch and appears to have taken to heart lessons learned from the weaknesses of both KT 8th edition and WarCry. Judging from the Death Korps and Kommandos, it looks like each faction should be getting quite a bit of tactical depth (knock on wood)
