Trying to learn this with my little brother. Wow this made a difference, the way I thought it went was that you roll the attack dice the same way and then discard anything that's not a hit. Then you roll the defense dice for the opponents model and if it's equal to the attackers hit requirement then however many dice are equal negate the attackers hits. Watching this I realise how much I over complicated it by accident. Could never work out 40k but this so far has been a lot easier and despite playing a bit wrong it's been fun and good to get my brother off his ipad and xbox. The oldies were in shock seeing him out of his room 😂😂 he's at that age now where he's a cave dweller so it was nice to get him out and have him focus on something else
Hey that's great to hear! Thanks for watching and have fun with Kill Team, it gets better the more you play it and especially with the new Into the Dark setting and rules.
You bet, I’m working right through the whole book so we’ll get to narrative play at around video 14. There’s quite a lot of rules for narrative play so that could well be a mini series of its own! Thanks for watching 👊
I should have use the Trooper Veteran Operative model for this example. But if you use the Sniper Veteran Operative then yes, you’re totally right, the MW rule should be applied. Thanks for watching! 👊
Great videos, thanks so much! Myself and a buddy are learning, but I didn't see anything regarding using two defensive dice against a crit. Was this something dropped by the newer edition of Kill Team?
I couldn't find any info about the rule that says you can "spend" two normal saves to defend against one crit anywhere... otherwise my man - this series has been very helpful getting me into the system! Great job! Keep it up!
5:02 Are you required to block the critical hit with the two normal saves or can you tank the crit and block two regular attacks? Really appreciate the videos, thank you.
Finding these videos really helpful. Could you please clarify a ruling: If a model charges, fights and kills/incapacitates another model and is no longer in engagement range can it now shoot if has the available apl?
That's great to hear, thank you! I had a look through the rules and I couldn't see anything that says that wouldn't be possible, so it looks to me like you could shoot.
Not only is that possible, but for 3apl models with nasty ranged and melee (leader models w a plasma pistol, harlequin in general, etc.) it is a great way to deal with high model count opposing teams. my CSM aspiring champion did this in a recent game, charging through a wall to punch a nid warrior to paste before shooting a genestealer who thought it was safe.
So 2 normal saves can save against critical hit but does a critical save save against 2 normal hits or can it only be applied to 1 normal hit or 1 critical
@@tabletopskirmishgames at 1:47 you said you couldn't shoot at a model engaged with a friendly unit. Waiting on my rulebook so can't check for myself. Did I miss understand something? Great work on the videos!
So do weapons in Kill Team not have a range characteristic? Is the only limit line of sight? Thanks very much for this series, it's been a big help! I could never wrap my head around the manual with all of the formal writing lol
Range will be unlimited unless specified in the weapon stats. Yeah, there are a lot of rules and when you layer up all the Ploys, assets, ops etc it gets pretty heavy! I found that focussing on one Kill Team Faction and learning all about them is a good way to go and then it gets much easier. At first, I thought I would collect loads of Kill Teams - like in Warcry - and be able to play them easily, but I think the game is too tactical. Going forward, I'm going to treat it as an extension of 40k and go all in with my Space Wolves and focus on them, then learn all the rules that suit how they play. (That's the army I'm building for 40k.)
@@tabletopskirmishgames oh sweet! I'm collecting the VI legion for my wife(so me lol) that sounds like a good idea, I was about to drop some coin on the compendium until I saw how complicated the rules were, I thought it'd be a lot like Warcry as well-- I love that game, my 6 yr old loves it too. anyway, thanks dude, I appreciate the response!
Haha that's a great way to add another army! I tried that with my son but he betrayed me and chose Lego for Christmas last year 🤣 The White Dwarf articles are good for Kill Team and hopefully they will bring out a lot more of them. Someone commented here that the designers said the Compendium was a stop gap so we should see more factions being developed like in Octarius and Chalnath.
Once you just dive in and start playing a game, the pieces kind of fall in place and it's far easier to understand. Like many things, experience is everything. Once you have the rules down the gameplay is actually pretty quick/fast-paced.

This series has been so useful!
That’s great to hear, thanks for watching! 👊
I think that “cover” video will be a big help, I’m still a bit sketchy on the “⚪️ beyond cover = obscured” kinda stuff. Keep up the good work!
I should be uploading Line of Sight and Cover rules tomorrow. Thanks for watching the series! 👊

Dont forget to please cover narrative play. all these videos have been soo helpful and hope to see more on it

I love the handmade effects lol
Great series. Love all of it. Thanks guys
Thanks so much for watching! 👊
Great videos dude, keep up the good work. Very helpful. 👍👍👍
Thanks so much, great to hear they are helpful. Thanks for watching! 👊
Fantastic! This really helps.
Awesome, thanks for watching!
It looks like the guardsman's long-las had a Mortal Wound critical hit special rule. Should this have been applied during the shooting example?
I should have use the Trooper Veteran Operative model for this example. But if you use the Sniper Veteran Operative then yes, you’re totally right, the MW rule should be applied. Thanks for watching! 👊
Another solid video
Much appreciated thank you!
Picking a unit without critical damage wasn't the best idea but ok lol
Great videos, thanks so much! Myself and a buddy are learning, but I didn't see anything regarding using two defensive dice against a crit.

Nice
Thanks for watching! 👊

Thank you! Check out page 64 and then step 5. 'Resolve Successful Saves'.
Does a critical save discard two normal hits or just one?
5:02 Are you required to block the critical hit with the two normal saves or can you tank the crit and block two regular attacks?
Really appreciate the videos, thank you.
You can tank the crit and block two normal attacks if you so wish 🤙🏽
When a weapon with the MW rule says "retain" a crit, is that before the defender has the chance to use their defense dice to block the crit?
Finding these videos really helpful. Could you please clarify a ruling:
If a model charges, fights and kills/incapacitates another model and is no longer in engagement range can it now shoot if has the available apl?

so i was wondering why some ranged weapon profiles dont have a range? is it because all you need is line of sight?
Yes, those weapons come with unlimited range.
So 2 normal saves can save against critical hit but does a critical save save against 2 normal hits or can it only be applied to 1 normal hit or 1 critical
A critical save can only be applied to 1 critical hit or 1 normal hit.
so the defense dice roll has to match your operative "SV" in order for it to be a successful save?
That's right, so a 5+ save will save on a 5 or 6. A 5 would be a normal save, and a 6 would be a critical save.
@@tabletopskirmishgames ok thank you for the conformations and keep up with the awesome videos 😁
Question, let's say my opponent rolls a shooting attack only one attack goes through. Do I still roll all three defense dice? Or only one?
I'm guessing you've found an answer to this elsewhere by now, but in that scenario you would still roll all three defense dice.
Can an operative shoot into a melee combat between a friendly operative and the enemy?
If all the rules for shooting line up between the operative shooting and the target, then I can't see why not.
@@tabletopskirmishgames at 1:47 you said you couldn't shoot at a model engaged with a friendly unit. Waiting on my rulebook so can't check for myself. Did I miss understand something? Great work on the videos!
If my model has 3 defence dice do they always roll all 3? What if only one attack roll is successful? Do I still roll 3 dice to defend or only 1?
Yes, you roll all your defence dice even if only 1 attack roll was successful.
@@tabletopskirmishgames Thankyou so much!

If they don't have Range rules in the datacards, the weapon has unlimited range across the battlefield. Thanks for watching!

what about the range of the attack?
The range will be in the Special Rules section of the Datacard. If there is nothing stated there, then the range is unlimited.
I made it this far, but man it seems so overwhelming complex.
