With an old set of Kill Team scenery getting painted recently it was only fitting to try to (finally) get a game of the new Kill Team played.
Scenery was easy to rummage up. I had the option to play Space Orks or Death Guard for my first game and I decided that a smaller, slightly simpler force, may be wise.
So Death Guard it was. Thankfully with the new GW ‘balance update’ just being released I ended up with 6 rather than 5 marines for this first game.
I didn’t get any mid game shots for you sadly as I was focused on trying to get to grips with the new rules. That said, I do think this is a better version than the last ruleset.
After all this time though, GW should know how to write clear concise rules. Sadly, the wording of the rules appears to be written purposely with the aim of confusing you! After a few turns however, we managed to figure out what they were aiming for in the rules… We hope.

I agree with you about the rules- one of the worst rulebooks I’ve read in a long time. Which is a shame as there is a good ruleset there.
Cheers,
Pete.

Couldn’t agree more on the rules – I left the world of GW back in 2009 because of the cumbersome rules. When Kill Team was released, I bought a copy hoping that it would play like the skirmish games I had been playing in place of GW games – sadly that rule book sits on a shelf in near “like-new” condition. Who knows, maybe some days I’ll build a team and take it to the local GW Store.

Yup, GW just can’t write rules. The miniatures are the best in the world I reckon, the lore is generally top notch (AoS can still be a bit bumpy on that front but nobody’s perfect) but the rules are just awful. Poorly written, overly complicated, using outdated concepts, written in a clear attempt to satisfy a vocal minority of power-gaming win-at-all-costs permanently-dissatisfied “tournament gamers” and invalidated by yet another FAQ before it even sees publication. My advice to the people playing is not to worry too much and just try to have fun, and my advice to GW is to send the entire rules team home for a lie down and not to let them come back until they’re feeling better.
Ah I do enjoy a good rant in the morning! 😁

Nothing wrong with a good rant. Probably why some of us blog in all reality. GW needs to realise it could make games sensible without losing a large part of its fan base (they may even win back a few souls).
