Stay hydrated (much as our kill zone will!)

Eldar kill team with out a bird, this is madness

Scorpions look like a compendium team

I like the concept of separating the teams/warbands and the terrain. HOWEVER, I don't like how they jacked the price way up for each of them. A little more would have been okay for the option to purchase them separately but they decided to gouge us instead.

I am good with very little terrain....but that box better be alot cheaper

Cool, scouts and scorpions like we expected. Now they can announce the tyranid bespoke team.

You know what this Kill Team reveal made me decide? To start a Kroot Farstalker Kinband KT. I was on the fence about starting a new KT, as I wanted to save my KT hobby fuel for the newly revealed teams. However, as excited as I was for the Striking Scorpion reveal, I'm kinda bummed that they seem to... simple. Where is the bespoke team? This boxset just looks like 40K miniatures, rather than two Kill Teams. The terrain also blows, why no forest... I WANTED A FOREST! This boxset should have been special forces vs the unseen predator... you know, like Predator!

Given how long it takes GW to bring new models/terrain from initial design to retail -- about three years -- it seems pretty clear to me these sprues were designed to be released according to the previous years' sales model of "Big box with two kill teams, set of terrain, and book with rules for that terrain" and then over the course of the last two years, shipping costs pushed up so far that GW decided that if they were to release such a box now at an MSRP consistent with their normal profit margin expectations (they pretty clearly adhere to a fairly rigid pricing schedule where products are expected to pay off their development costs and move into pure profit after X units sold), it'd have to be priced so high they couldn't reasonably expect people to buy it. So instead they've split the product in two, but they're still working with product that was designed to be sold all together, and they can't go back in time three years to change it so it's designed for this release model instead of the previous one. EDIT: To be clear, the grab bag of random tech gribblies you've complained about here seems analogous to the random grab bag of scatter terrain that currently appears as the extra sprue in the Killzone Gallowdark box but is absent from the Boarding Patrol terrain box (which is otherwise just Killzone Gallowdark doubled). I would expect that for the remaining three of this season's Kill Team boxes, each box will come with two kill teams, a book, and the equivalent of the followup specialty sprues from last year -- so, things like the Shadowvaults sprue with the two robots, the Soulshackle sprue with the breachable walls and command table, and the Gallowfall sprue with the medical beds and escape pods, all of which were designed to (but now won't) be bundled with extra copies of the basic gantries they've moved out of the core box itself and into its own killzone box. I wonder if it'll be the same next year, or if they saw this change coming early enough that next year's kill team releases will look less like a sales model retrofit. Tl;dr maybe sarlacc next year.

New parkour rules for kill team

That terrain is going to be absolute hell to play on. The platforms are going to get knocked all over the place, and even over, on the regular.

I have a few worries about the killzone having a massive pit in the middle and no real walls. Finally, the snipers dream lol

Using the eldar guardian kit as a budget friendly proxy for the eldar aspects seems like a good way to go. It has 10+ rifles, 10 pistols, 7 blades and 5 chainswords... All the stuff you'd need to have count-as models for Dire Avengers or some Banshees and Scorpions.

Looks like a battle around the community swimming pool

It’s funny as I find the scouts and scorpions both exciting but more as updates for 40K then for Kill Team. They seemed mostly designed as an update for 40K and the fact you can use them in Kill Team is just a bonus.

Missed opportunity, they could have theme linked kill team and warcry terrain. That would have encouraged cross purchasing.

Im happy with Scorpions but the poses could have been more dynamic. It would be nice to include Dire Avengers, Howling Banshees and other Aspects like Fire Dragons too. Warp Spiders, Swooping Hawks. Yes please.

Seems like they just made 2 sets for 40k and called it killteam. With the hidden price raise of the box split not good things I feel.

i would have loved this new set to have been jungle outpost based. this terrain is just uninspiring.

I actually like the terrain and gizmos. Looks like it'll blend really well with existing stuff too. I can't wait for the Advanced Space Crusade style bioship interior set though. I mean, it's the new big story arc in 40k, and those garish card board pieces will always hold a special place in my 90's heart...

Love the thought about jump tests - Reivers!!

Maybe going to have to play on a metal table and magnetize the bottom of the terrain lol

I'm really hoping datacards will come as standard in all the individual kill team boxes. I played a game the other day where I needed the core rules, the Nachmund book (for my legionaries) and the Soulshackle book for the close quarters rules. It just seems to make sense, with Justinian and now this announcement, I'm hopeful.

You crack me up every video, Andy. Thanks for the thoughtful commentary, and the laughs

I do see your point about the terrain. But I have to say, it goes so well together with the Nachmibd set, that I'm really tempted. The do complement each other really well. Which prompts me to sell my Moroch Terrain and purchase this one, as I also have those tanks which where released for Necromunda. And then I kind of hope that I'm not really interested in the the next Terrain boxes and can stick to the teams with some Thematik Terrain peaces. My guess would be, that they keep the Mechanicus theme, but then I'probably goog with Nachmund, this one and the nerrative peaces in the two Team boxes.

WOW how wholesome. We got ourselves a couple of new teams! Snapshot reaction to this board/terrain, teams that are heavy into 6" range shooting units are gonna have a tough time for this coming season.

Well , Minis and Terrain split into 2 buys will cost more , but after Gallowdark walls x 4 , and endless trees in Warcry , this works better for me , and my wallet .

Keen for this. I thinks there’s some real cinematic moments to be had with operatives crashing into the ocean.

Have the same TV and always struggle with the remote^^

Lol, I choked on my coffee. "Literally nothing."

I like the way you did the video with talking in front of a tv with the updates.

I’m curious how the mixed Aspect Warrior teams will play vs the mono-aspect team. My rampant speculation is that they’ll get one team-wide rule for mixed & a different one for each flavor of mono-aspect. Also, the compendium Craftworld team of Dire Avengers is 8 models. So it’s impossible (with the limit of 20 models on a KT21 roster) to take a full 8-model team of each flavor of Aspect Warrior to a tournament. Off the top of my head we’ll probably see an optimal roster of 8 Scorps, 8 Banshees, & 4 Dire Avengers (one of which would be the Exarch with a Shimmershield & power weapon). This would allow you to field Striking Scorpions against a horde team with low saves or if their assumed stealth abilities would give you a measure of protection from long range shooty teams. I’m guessing that the mandibladters will give them a mortal wound on charge attack or some sort of range black splash damage effect. Banshees would probably be preferable against elite teams because their power weapons will net more crits & their masks will probably give them a strikes first ability when they charge. Dire Avengers shooting will be a nice to have, but I don’t see it carrying the day very often. It’s going to be best against certain teams where you need to soften operatives up before someone else charges.

I will enforce people call me a "chapai" now. Cheers Andy!

We bitched about gallowdark same terrain so this is a better way to go

Apparently they said there will be benefit for mono-aspect Eldar KT versus mixed ones. I quite liked the scorpions, additional heads, Exarch naturally will have it's own weapons, there are so posability. They have a classic expected look which I feel is totally fine, many people really want just refresh of Jes Goodwin designs with minimum changes.

the Scorpions are a little dull. they definitely look like a compendium team

could have had an aspect team made up of exarches of each aspect. That way you have your specilist 9each aspect) and the variety of combining them into one team.

9:13 redesigned ramparts - the ramparts are plug-and-play along with the ladders, you can freely take them off and put them in different spots! Like, always not just this new version. All they resdesigned as far as I can tell is they put them in different holes, so my Nachmund terrain should be book - mission compliant.

They are un-striking scorpions... 🥸

8:46 got me 😂

This reminds me of one of your older vids looking at tv. The separate box thing is a blessing and a curse bc it will work out more pricey buying both for the first one. But better in the long run. Lets see the prices

If they used rearrangable board tiles for the gantry, then I ‘might’ be more interested, but there’s only so many ways/times you can play “water in the middle, shift around the coverless platforms”, and that ‘many’ ain’t that many.

Definitely a white dwarf style team as opposed to compendium for the striking scorpions. Likely will be mixing on a model bases as opposed to the fireteam type of composition in the compendium.

Some sort of decently sized center piece for heavy cover....these just look like narrative sprue from ITD.

Are you tempted to use the recently announced Warcry terrain box with these two teams? The rules in the teams box might fit, possibly after a tweak or two. A bit disappointing that the rules for the terrain in the Kill Zone don't appear to be in that box. They used to be back when they used this same packaging method in KT 2018.

Silly thing to notice but I love chaps, chappesses and chappi as term

10/10 for that ending. Pure road man.

I like the kill zone but not the terrain in the box. Hyped for scouts.

There's real charm in your self-deprecation. Love the content!

I think there will be specialists for the aeldari but it'll be gear based or something

As an Eldar player I’m just glad to have updated scorpions

A wholesome, double hello to all

Really enjoyable vids lately. 'wtf is this? ... trash' hilarious and agree Updated Scorpians sounds good

I still think this set should have come with the new terrain because its the launch set of the new season and people are gonna want the new terrian by default. Every set after should be the teams and terrain sold seperately. My fear is, going this new route, they wont release single team boxes and youll be forced to pay for these sets or split them with someone which could be cheaper but I predict stock will always be low or out. Id assume the prices will be $100 for 2 teams which seems fair as single teams cost roughly $60

While the new teams look like great upgrades form there previous resin and old plastic kits, the new platrom terrian is the most interesting part of the release to me. My reason is those platforms are significantly shorter than the walkways of the the older sector mechanicus terrain they share remblances with and look to be the same height of the necromunda zone moralis walls and columns. GW has been pretty slick when it comes to the possible modularity of there terrain kits... this just looks like an amazing continuation.

Customisable squads? Lists are back baby! Seriously though, im curious if this is season 3 or version 3. Lot more detail needed

I like the terrain

I'm mission season 2 already xD love the 40k new sculpts, but they are not kill teams. No specialists, no "soul" in the teams...

But mixing Horus heresy upscale bits works well with primaris

Anyone have predictions on when the next full edition will release?

The terrain looks like WarTeam, or KillCry? They better make tons of Kill Team boxes because the 40k players are going to buy them up like hotcakes.

I think striking scorpions will be a 8-10 man team based on their 40k/KT1 stats. They are aspect warriors like dire avengers and howling banshees. It would be nice to get this three types in one team for variety :)

They talked about the aeldari team to be a 9 model team.

I just wonder when it will come out as both teams look cool

Even if I am not (at this point) interested in Scouts or Eldars, I like GW's new way - terrain to be bought separately. It makes much more sense, as you won't be getting extra unneeded pieces with each next box, and at the same time you won't be forced to buy first box. And ofc, price of each box will be lower compared to ITD or first season (I hope at least..). I am super hungry for new killzone rules. How will be jumps/moving between platforms solved? How many levels of vantage are there by design? What about visibility? I definitely WILL be hunting for news or leaks :D ps. where is the double hello? not to mention the tipple one? Why am I even subscribed?!

Reivers are finally going to have their day on this terrain!

‘Like… a slightly larger cog’ had me cracking up. I will hold judgement on this kill zone until we know the rules… I like the concept of over water but also looks like not enough cover and like fly will be broken… but who knows. To me this does look like the pieces will pair with ITD really nicely as gantries. Would like to see some rules to integrate them at some point. Like you can move over the gantries between rooms and it gives you a vantage point in the room (but not through walls)… like you’re moving through vents and ducts in the ship.

I reckon the Scouts and Scorpions were both designed for 40k first, and Kill Team playability was just shoehorned in afterwads.

I love the new Striking Scorpions! Yeah, I was expecting specialists, but I don't mind. I never got any of the big boxes because I've had more than enough terrain for Age of Sigmar and 40k. So, I don't mind smaller boxes. This will probably be the first one I buy instead of waiting for the single KillTeam releases. Looking like they should, is great to me...

I like that not every team is arrenged the same way. Wouldn't like it if every team was like this, but nothing wrong with a bit of variety.

I'm more interested in the terrain pack and the 6 random bits than I am in the teams themselves. 😅

Blades of Khaine does feel like a WD team that they delayed so they can release it alongside the new Striking Scorpions, would also kind of explain why we haven't gotten a WD team in awhile

News get the views!!

Well I'm glad the Ferratonic Furnace is back.

I am disappointed by the striking scorpion team, I wish they were all agents of their own just feels like they gave a range refresh for striking scorpions (which was needed) but trying to sell it to kill team players and 40k players.

THe terrain in this set looks like somebody walked in to the design studio on a Friday afternoon and said "we need something like the Shatterpoint terrain for Kill Team. Any ideas?"

13:00 maybe GW is going to adapt using Blue Tak as standard practice?

This doesn’t really leave me chomping at the bit for the new season.

Are the scorpions supposed to be multi part in this one with banshee/avenger options? 🍻

I was really mad when host skip talking about scouts and he just come back to scorpions… and then talk about terrain

just patreon'ed up..

I had the exact same table. Everything is just so "meh".

I'm very let down by Scorpion's design.

i wanna get into kill team but the whole board/ terrain alone confuses my noggin, i look online and seems to have so many options

The marines/striking scorpions are clearly meant to be 40K dual kits. I would have liked to see a bit more personality. I am exited by the new play mode, movement limited / shooting not. I think perhaps molded plastic isn't the best way to represent the environment they are going for. It will be great for people who like scratch building terrain.

Where are my bugs!? For crying out loud... Tyranids are forgotten. Should have been jungle or cavern terrain

I feel bad for Eldar players. All their Codex updates are coming from Kill Team releases...

Best box since Chalnath. Nice.

Dude you crack me up! brill

that terrain really needs bridges and ladders to make it look decent, otherwise it looks really bare and weird to play on. Edit: also does killteam have a push mechanic like warcry does?

Is the striking scopions not already a top of the pop specialist team? Lorewise at least? Dont get me wrong, I think this is a bit sad, but still

The terrain does kind of suck, but then I got more than enough terrain already.

As a player of Warcry jungle set it’s a fucking pain to play on.

I’m happy the kit is a yawn fest. I can finish what I’m working on in 40K 😆

Jungle terrain...

I was disappointed in the reveal of all Scorpions as I was hoping for an "Oops, All Aspects Exarchs!". But I was pleasantly surprised when they mentioned being able to include at least two other Aspects, but hopefully you can add all of them. Also, a double hello to you 😉

Looking very much like the Scorpions are a compendium team, I'm wondering if that means a refresh of the compendium book at some point. Not feeling the love for this release.

RIP KT

VERY mixed feelings this reveal….

I was expecting water terrain, but I thought they'd reuse the Necromunda Ash Wastes suspended structures. The photos of the terrain are certainly not inspiring, unlike almost every other terrain they show.

Thank you for putting this together 😊👍🏻🍺 Sadly no Death World ☹️ However my Hearthkyn Salvagers should have more fun now shooting everyone! My 3+ saves will help too! Plus my Dozr is going to have a field day pushing everyone off the platforms while my Jump Pack Warrior flys around the board! I do not think I could have asked for a better new setting! Although a Death World would have been a lot of fun!
