Kill team 2.0 compendium plus#

I agree that the new rules are also a major plus it’s nice to see such a modern, dynamic, and engaging system that keeps both players interested and focused on the game at every moment. It also opens up the possibilities of integrating Kill Team narrative events with a larger 40k campaign. I enjoy smaller games with friends, and giving each member of a team a sense of personality and drive is really exciting. Primaris Kevin: I’m looking forward to the narrative content. It also provides a pretty reasonable barrier to entry as well (though I slightly feel for the managers that will have to memorize the whole thing if a newbie wants to get into the game). I really enjoy the idea of two semi-premade teams battling it out, meaning the game isn’t won or lost before it even begins. If I had to answer this question in a vacuum though, I’d actually be controversial and say that I enjoy the roster creation. No more Injury Rolls that don’t do anything impactful, no more Savior Protocols that save you from overheating weapons, and no more shambolic narrative rules. It keeps the game flowing smoothly, and having the number of activations per model is a great way to balance small teams against larger ones, and the way missions require you to use AP to capture objectives is another good way to balance this.Ĭhucat: I’m going to snipe the obvious answer here, and go for “All the godawful rules in the old game are now gone”. TheChirurgeon: I’m a big fan of the alternating activations and not tying the game to phases anymore. This is likely my go to wargame going forward, and once I’m familiar enough with it I plan on doing some additional stuff for it.Ĭredit: Robert “TheChirurgeon” Jones What’s the best thing about the new Kill Team? An easier point of entry for new players.Ī big pile of modern wargame design shoved into it. The end of the injury roll and lots of dice rolling to produce no results. A campaign system based on Crusade that actually works. Primaris Kevin: I’m considering purchasing the starter box for a reason other than the terrain, so I consider it a win. TheChirurgeon: If I never have to think about how injury rolls interact with saviour protocols again, it’s a win. It requires a bit of time to get used to, but compared to explaining things like Injury Rolls, it’s in a much better place. I’m a fan of the new rules, how the datacards are laid out and the action point system. Chucat: When my sole complaint with the new Kill Team is “it sucks I can’t take a heavy weapon platform with my Ranger + Dire Avenger jamboree”, then the game is a pretty marked improvement.
