It's just terrain bro, it's unaligned

Yea they only attack your guys, why?

Wtf have you been smoking?

Does anyone have a sense of when GWS would release Kill Team Typhon box set? That is, possibly May or June, or earlier?

June seems a safe bet, they tend to be every 3 months.

The Brutal & Cunning box was 2 months from reveal to preorder, while Blood & Zeal was under a month.

For the next one I'd think late April / May is a reasonable guess.

This one will probably sell out in a few minutes.

Has to come out before summer, since late summer should already be the start of second season of KT24

We're almost 1/3rd through the edition, and I still havent felt the urge to play..

They were just late in announcing B&Z, the time between preview and preorder shouldn't be taken as any sort of measure, rather that it's ~3 months between release dates of sets.

Also, next White Dwarf will have another PvE scenario and cards:

Balance slate updates out now. Vespids and Aquilons get an extra body each, bunch of other stuff.

Rather solid changes, I feel incentivised to build and paint the Vespid team I won at a tournament a month ago

So many nerfs to Eldar teams surprised me a bit. Maybe it's to lessen the trend of good players moving away from elites? But I don't think only the Eldar are to blame for that.

Would you say most of the damage to game balance KT24 caused as having been adressed by now?

Sanctifiers are still OP, but besides them?

I'd say the first patch was really impactful, toning down the top teams, which surprised me at the time (I thought it was too little*). When I went to a bigger tournament on the 6-7th of April (Polish National Championship 52 players) and later I looked at the list of first 16 players - these that went at least 4-2, so won more than they lost - there were 15 different teams represented in that group. Hordes and Elties and everything inbetween, the only double was Harlequins. That convinced me that the top is dealt with, what was left was the bottom.

And this patch for sure will help at least a little. I'd say, if you dodge Sanctifiers and a random personal hard counter (like Nemesis vs Wreckas for example) you should get a fair game against almost any opposing team.


*-for example I didn't know why they didn't touch the Angels of Death, but then it turned out all AoD players ended up close to or in the bottom half at that tournament and no top players even decided that bringing AoD was a good idea. There seems to be a move away from elite teams too, not because they are bad or weak, but not consistent enough. A fumbled roll (or an absurd roll from an opponent) can really affect them, while a horde player will just shrug. And if you play six games at an event, a game with such an improbable event is bound to happen at least once or twice.

Is it true that the Typhon box set is up for preorder from next week?

We don't know what will go up on pre-order on the 17th yet - GW normally confirms in an article the Sunday before a given pre-order date what will go up that weekend.

For example, this article confirms what's going to go up for pre-order tomorrow.

Check WarCom around 6pm BST on Sunday, and that'll tell you if Typhon will be available for pre-order on the 17th.
