I have played Kill team off and on, but the new Elite book has me wanting to play more of it now.
Tend to be a basement dweller and looking to go to the FLGS to find some games instead.

Is there rules that I need to watch more closely??, my group are very easy on the rules and let stuff slide
with little argument. But at game stores you never know what kind of gamer you will meet.

Have a decent grasp of the rules, just want to make sure there isn't an obscure game ruling that
allows a curb stomp and I walk right into it. But also other things that we might be doing wrong as
the rules aren't very clear on it.

Also with the release of Elites, what is the feeling what the next releases will be?? I know necromunda
did a compilation after about the same number of core rules releases. I know they are still missing factions
like inquisitors, sisters and demons. Plus I feel they could get away with light vehicles and smaller heavy
type units.

watch out for the adeptus custodes in kill team, TG, however thousand sons and greyknights will wreck their face big time

Most factions have tactics that were only released in the KT boxes, some of which are pretty good.

You just need to keep an eye on the ways KT is different than 40k, which can lead to some surprising events if you aren't thinking about it (like how a model that's in combat, but wasn't charged this turn, can fall back and it's erstwhile opponents can only fallback themselves or stand there looking confused).

On the box set exclusive tactics, those seem to have been reprinted in the Elites book (minus the ones that only worked on specific maps), so you don't need to worry about missing out or them being used erroneously. The new Elites stuff (Custodes included) will probably won't fare all that well in competitive matches, as they're just too expensive to have enough guys to hold objectives, but they are super killy if you happen to walk into them. Maybe one big beatstick (Bullgryn or DG Termy?) with some chaff might work, but it's pretty easy to tie up a couple Custodes for the whole game and either win on objectives or dump all of your firepower into one of them at a time.

I'd imagine there will be a light vehicles/monsters book (since those were in old KT - stuff like a dreadnought, carnifex, or sentinel) and possibly one with faster stuff (like the various jetpack equipped models that are missing). I also wouldn't be surprised if a few more "self-contained" factions popped up, as that would be the perfect place to drop a new inquisitorial line of models for dual KT/40K use or reintroduce some of the stuff that's not popular enough for a full 40k codex release but would be great as a single sprue KT box.

Many (not all, for some reason) of those are in the Elites book.

Except for the ones that weren't. Guard, for example.
