Each team has a lot of uniquenes to them, with somethings crossing over to teams that are similar in race or type of operatives (example all Astartes have 3 apl (action point limit), can counteract (conduct an action for free if all of your operatives has been expended and your opponents still has activations remaining) regardless of order, can shoot twice (for 1apl each) if one of the shooting actions is a bolter, or could fight twice (1 apl each)). Or all Aeldari have a 7" reposition (move) where as humans have 6" or Hearthkyn have 5".

Think I will get a box of the new Starter when it releases. Even if I chicken out on the playing part, its a few cool units to paint and collect. Thanks for the tips!

Kill Team is fairly intuitive and a lot more interactive than Big 40k.

While I should not call Games Workshops plastic cheap, that Starter Set feels like you get a lot of units for a decent price, plus all the extra stuff they ship in the box.

I hope the small shop here will get them when they release or shortly after. Would like to help supporting the store instead of doing the online order.

Not that I think I will ever go into the big battles of the "normal" 40k, are these units compatible with that?

They are - but the space marine one is sort of weird w/ their numbers for it.

I like the new edition of KT but two things holding it back from me is full support for campaign and their new coop mode, plus the general issue around the fact that they basically removed list building. Aside from modeling list building is the thing I enjoy the most out of any type of tabletop game.

Someone took the time to make new narrative rules for the new edition.


I didnt play any narrative in last edition. I have no idea if this is good or not.

Oh yeah, millions of years ago the galaxy is ruled by the mayan frog people from Warhammer Fantasy.

Some inexplicably ancient egyptian looking aliens live on a planet where the star gives them turbo cancer, they ask the frog people to cure them and they are giant assholes and say no.

Once the aliens get space tech, instead of moving to a non cancerous planet, they declare war on the frog people and are losing, but they find giant space vampires feeding off stars and put them into badass robot bodies.

The space vampires convince the aliens to also go into robot bodies, but it's a trick to eat the entire species. The now robot aliens get pissed and enslave the space vampires, but most of the robot aliens are now mindless automaton.

The alien robots start to win the war, so the frog people make elves and orcs from Warhammer Fantasy but with spaceships.

Everyone loses the war. The robot aliens go into ancient egyptian tombs to sleep for millions of years until the elves go away. Orcs are everywhere. Frog people are almost all dead.

Millions of years later the bugs from starship troopers have crossed galaxies to eat all life in this galaxy, the robot aliens wake up to stop them as they need living beings to exist so they can transfer back to organic bodies before they get too much robot dementia.

Dumb rules question - if a transport with a firing deck has a unit with an assault weapon. Can the firing deck be used if it advanced (to shoot the assault weapon)? I am reading rules as written/rules as intended that say no/yes.

And I guess more importantly - where would I find out something like this beyond asking a TO?

I don't know if that ever got FAQd. You probably have to ask the TO at a particular event. IIRC RAI is yes. You can argue no based on when you select it to shoot vs when it gains the weapons.
Not sure where the best place to ask is anymore aside from the cesspool that is reddit. Bolter and Chainsword and DakkaDakka but smaller audience so may take longer.
