I dumped 40k at the shift to 6th Ed and moved onto more affordable games. However, Kill Team tempted me back by being super good value.

I've got my marines and Tau and my rulebooks. But reading the rulebook is quite hard work when I already know how 90% of it works. Some rules don't apply to Kill Team, so I don't need them, and some are buried in detail that I otherwise gloss over.

So - those of you already playing Kill Team - what are the crucial rules for Kill Team I need to brush up on?

R.

I play Heralds of Ruin Kill Team myself, which plays a little differently. I can't think of any rules that don't apply to Kill Team, only the restrictions on what you can take and the part where there's no squads.

Best to find out what you know by playing!

That is, indeed, the plan once my minis are all painted.

Just remember every model counts as its own unit. That accounts for 99% of the changes.

Other than that, its remembering break tests, specialists, and the new missions rules. Kill team is very fast and bloody so it's pretty simple. Brush up on your rules though, you'll be amazed how much tiny rules matter.
