I don´t think the game will be faster or easier to play. It seems that we just got to relearn those rules we knew. But htx anyway for the video.

About phosphor lumen - I'm not sure, if I understand it correctly - to get penalty, enemy must be within 2'' "of it", so, 2" with any model with phosphor-lumen, or within 2'' of target of current attack? (at first I understood it as second version, but now I'm not sure)

While Glandy & John from Wales may be quicker on the draw, I appreciate your more measured approach to reviewing these teases. I think that taking the time to rework the rules for ease of understanding & speedier play. I fully expect that a quarter after the launch of KT24 we’ll see a balance dataslate to adjust some of the disparities in relative strength’s & weaknesses.

I like the slower pace, makes the whole learning process a relaxing time, I like the font, and I guess my condolences for all the new team rule tutorials you will have to make.

A big change is on page 46 bases. Operatives can now move through friendly operatives’ bases and models.

Clearly, according to the lore, Kasarkin should be hitting on a 2+, still have Elite Points and have 4 defense dice.

Glad GW fixed Kasrkin. They were unplayable with BS4+. Nothing about Elite Points was "iconic," it was just an incorrect and wrong-minded representation of what Kasrkin are supposed to be.

On kasrkin trooper, I think he can throw both of the grenades once (so no 2 smoke or 2 stun) in it's activation because it says : "you can do each of the following..." not "one of the following..."

No issues with font from me (which doesn't really tell you anything about whether there's a true accessibility issue). While any occasional sprelling mistales are just good fun.

You do not get advance stuff from GW, so are under no obligation to keep quiet about the stuff that makes it in to the wild that should not have escaped.

On Navis Armsmen Deck Hand allows the C.A.T and Gheist Skull to open hatches now. Void Armour may be a piece of faction equipment, especially with Close Quarter rules being part of the Volkus terrain.

Cant wait to see free rules for teams

On Exaction Squad. Repress/Shield were only on two operatives. The Proctor-Exactant and Subductor. Not exactly some weapons, unless the Repression Batons now have it (unlikely). Disappoint this is what they led with. No longer having the strobing lightshow is a huge nerf, but understandable with equipment now being teamwide. I am personally interested in their other faction equipment options, as they are all likely to have been changed. There no way they are getting a teamwide APL modification immunity, the shotpistol is pointless given most have shotguns and manacles could only be used a an extremely limited set of operatives. Long Arm of the Emperors Law - Its worth pointing out that with Shotguns, Long range is still hitting on 5+ doing 2/2 and Short range is 3+ and 4/4. It will also affect the Webber (if they still have it).

Is there anything on the new equipment rules that talks about equipment like GRISLY TROPHY from the nemesis claw. I looked over the new rules and I can see anything unless all equipment is getting a big change

Glandy is the hourly news, you are PM. Not many people will get that reference, but I’m old enough not to care.

On Kreig/Vet Guard. The Comms Device's usefulness will wholly depend if Comms Veteran returns and works the way they do now, relaying an order they receive to all operatives in the Kill Zone for 1APL. If this remains the case, the comm beads are the better pick, as your Sergeant/Watchmaster no longer has to keep close to them to provide all your team with the orders do so. Take Aim's change is a buff with the changes to how Hot works. Siege Warfare is indeed amazing, but a Lasgun is still a Lasgun. Spot is indeed a buff and the bubble for friendly operatives to be in has increased to 3" from 2". By the way it is worded, the bubble can now affects all friendlies in it not just one. Stick them near a Comms Device and this bubble becomes 6".

28:49 Tools to measure 8” other than tape measures exist. They are available in many non-toxic to getting board gamers and role players into the game forms, mostly from the purveyors of fine laser-cut acrylic products.

12:32 Sisters cheat.

Barrage was an interesting rule that was key to a couple of Vet Guard and Starstriders things being effective. I wonder how the off-table support options are going to function now.

I highly agree with your Volkus Door Plea - this is a much healthier approach to doors. Harlequins, Gellerpox, and to a lesser degree other teams really loved doors way too much.

Btw, you could never Dash over Barricades unless you have a 25mm base and custom Barricades with like 0.01" thickness. You need to move your entire base over the Barricade, so that is, for all practical purposes, >=1" base width + 2" traverse + >0" barricade thickness, so in practice you always exceed the 3" a Dash provides.

As a lapsed Kill Team player I understand this mechanically but not the full context. How impactful are these changes. Is it actually 3rd Edition or more of a 2.5?

Thank you for this. It was straight forward and easy to follow. Definitely saved me time looking through the pictures myself.

Naughty naughty 👀

Yeah no you'd be crazy to not make this video. No moral question here at all imo

your understanding of the KT rules is much more thorough than many of the more popular and high-production-value YT channels, subscribed

I found this useful, I'm a deathwatch player, so when I learned there was "no" support for the faction it destroyed my interest in the new '2nd' edition, after a year of leaning to paint different things and getting the Ordo xeno box I have some teams, so I am willing to give it a shot again, after looking on reddit to learn about more teams I might want to buy boom leaks, am the general response seem to be this '3rd' edition looks to be a more refined rules which people like. So here's to a new adventure, hope to learn more from you soon TabletopImpulse!

Is kill team still using True LoS?

I'm a risk averse player so Stun grenades are never worth it for me unless I would have to use remaining AP to Pass. It isn't doing enough reliably for the 1 AP cost in the current rules, and requiring Visibility in the new rules basically kills it for me. I just hate "skip a turn/do nothing" design in general, so that doesn't help.

Your initial justification is absolutely spot on. Great video dude. I will be informing all of my opponents that if they decide to use the term reposition to replace move, I will be using the term fanny to replace their persons.

how fly and fly charge will work now?

Comment for the comment god. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I am actually thinking of jumping in to kill team as a side hobby. Come from 40k so the setting is known to me. My main interest is the Joint Ops option for something to do at the end of a 40k day to have a feels good moment. Or to have a game I can play at home because I live far from my group so they’re all meeting up and playing way more often than I can show up. Joint Ops also lets me get the kids involved. One of my boys has repeatedly said “I want to go to Warhammer with you” but he is not the age where he could sit through an hours long game of mass battle and I don’t want to set him up for failure by letting him experience it when he’s not ready.

Nicely structured and informative video! I appreciate the critical discussion on your reasoning for making this video and feel you found a great balance between informing the community while respecting GW. Awesome job!

That was a really valuable breakdown of the new rules. Enjoyed the video. :)

I've only been learning kill team recently, so im glad that not a ton of things are wildly different? Appreciate the video, subbed

Good work! Maybe is personal, but I would suggest to change the font, it is a little bit foggy to read for me, but just an opinion

Less a concern, but certainly an observation... this edition is certainly going to favor faster teams, even more so than last. Not being able to use Dash for climbing would render Death Guard near unusable. Same for any 4” movement teams. I’m really interested to see what’s been done with the Necron and Votann teams. Maybe a general boost to 5” ‘reposition’?

Thank you for such a concise breakdown as always! Can enemy operatives benefit from universal equipment such as ammo or comms?

Unwieldy also seem to disappear (was redondant with Heavy, so good change to me)

Another observation: we can no longer buff climbing move with dash?

Thanks

Superb video. Clear, coincise and well presented. Thankyou. ❤ The one rule I think you missed was Torrent. It's still the poor man's blast, but it's much, much better than it was. Makes me wish that 10 Sisters of Silence was still a thing.

Thank you Phil. Next video is to play a game using the new rules with zimbad. Get one of those out before everyone else!😝

You really deserve more subs mate !

Another observation (in form of question) - is - rules as written - insignificant terrain now providing cover, and do you think, that it was intentional (considering, that now we have also separate "exposed" it might)?

The joys of not having an NDA. GWs loss 😉

Thanks for the content!

Great video!

Rules changes I have missed: Fusillade - Rule has been removed. Unwieldy - Rule has been removed. Splash - Rule has been rolled into devastate, which can be written Y" Devastate X where Y is the distance of the AOE and X is the number of mortal wounds. Reap - Rule has been rolled into devastate, which can be written Y" Devastate X where Y is the distance of the AOE and X is the number of mortal wounds. Barrage - Rule has been removed. Move - Now an umbrella term for reposition, dash, charge and fall back. Relevant because Fly, in the vespid rules refers to move - not reposition. Grenades - Have lost seek (previously indirect) and gained saturation (previously no cover) Torrent - They removed the clause "and each other" so now if you have three operatives standing in a line such that A is 0.75" from B and B is 0.75" from A and C but C is 1.5" from A a torrent 1 weapon could now hit all three, previously you would have to choose it hit only A and B or B and C, you do still need visibility to all the targets though (unlike say, Blast) Extra CP when you don't have the initiative - I was wrong, this rule does not apply on turning point one. Blast - secondary targets are in cover and obscured if the primary target was. Insignificant - RAW insignificant terrain provides cover (!) I might expect an FAQ on this. Bases - Friendly operatives can now move through other friendly operatives.
