KT has it's own separate errata documents, putting KT errata in the 40K docs would be horrible.

Has there been any more information about Elite since the announcement? I can't find anything, no release date or nothin'.

Seemingly not. I can't find anything, either.

Well, that was good timing

ye, and not a moment too soon. cant wait to see the full selection of units that is included.

Ugh, still very few Aspect Warriors. Guess I'm holding out for Kill Team: Fast Attack.

It'll depend on how certain rules work. Saim Hann Wraithblades, D-Scythe Wraithguard, Banshees and Alaitoc on well, everything, are gonna change things up considerably.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have Hawks cause Fly is boss is Kill Team, but one step at a time.

well, i might aswell find that old paladin box i bought back in 7th but never got around to actualy open.

Sounds like a good list for my Unused models collection.

Deathshroud Terminators, Blight Lords, Posessed all seem very Killy for Killteam. May finally have to complete assembly and painting.

Ah, I might actually get this expansion on a quiet month.

Was expecting it to be £35 and KT: Commanders as a requirement but thats not the case. £25 and is mostly Core-book but with a little extra for those who do have KT: Commanders.

I like the idea of adding an elite as a leader such as a Terminator leading a team of Tactical or scout marines, or a Banshee leading guardians.

It just occurred to me: in the very first KT video, there were some wolf cavalry in some of the shots. And they're still not playable. There's isn't much in the cavalry/bike section anyway.
Do you think they changed their original plan (especially since space wolves are not a faction of their own), or do you think there's still another elite-like supplement coming, which should bring the fast moving stuff?

A team stalked by Fenrisian Wolves would make for an interesting game...

Some great work by the black library team.

Elites is available to order (not pre-order) but after buying it you're told that it's not available to download until the 25th.

i think majority now are expecting all selections but heavys in KT by the end of this year., aka everyting that is usless in the regular game gets a chanse to shine in KT.
that means 2 wound elites and fast attacks.

Have they said anything about what’s up? the iTunes books are on preorder now, but it does not exist on the store too preorder and does not even say the dates we should be expecting it.

Click on the link on there store and it opens iTunes to nothing.

Nope, not a thing.

They even sent me the email saying that I can download it.

And now I can't even login to my account.

I very much could be wrong here, but I don't really see a more large groups of units being added to Kill Team. Most Fast Attack options completely remove the little amount of maneuver that is in the game already. As for Heavy Support, those options are typically meant to be shooting at armor or heavy vehicles/monsters/walkers/etc. Fluff-wise, they wouldn't be that great of a weapon for small team vs. small team to me. I am already less than enthused that the missile launcher is one of the best weapons in Kill Team by the way the rules work. I would really prefer to not see Kill Team look more like a game of Team Fortress 2 with everyone playing the Soldier.

Seems they have fixed the normal version on itunes, But the enhanced version is still a no show for me :( Where do they even post about issues like this ? Its kinda a pain.

Disappointed at the lack of Aggressors for the Marines. Was hoping to have one of those running across the board.

I’ll be using one Aggressor as a Terminator for my all Primaris Marine force.

So being new to killteam can someone help me understand how you can add an elite or commander to a team and keep it under 100 points?

Raveners are 15 points. Seems playable. :-)

Terminators are 50

You can only take commanders in missions that say you can.

Right now we have missions with the following points limits:
100pts
125pts
125pts with optional commander for one player
200pts with mandatory commander for one player
200pts with mandatory commanders for both players
200pts with optional commanders for both players

You can take a 50pt terminator in a 100pt mission but it may not be a good idea.

BTW, terminators are not 50pts. A standard marine terminator is 31.

Thanks Scott... 50ish =p
To be fair though i was looking at deathshroud terminators.

I need to read the book again. I thought the only game size was 100...

I also thought Elites made no mention of any kind of point increase beyond Commanders. It wasn't until Scott made mention of it that I double checked that the missions in the Elites book do say otherwise.

I kinda like 100 points and just treat Elites as more options for most factions (and a good portion of them aren't good options IMO) instead of worrying about an increased points limit. I suspect that general consensus into my future games will be: Elites units/subfaction traits comes standard and no longer be considered separate from the core , Commanders will continued to be largely ignored and a static points limit will be decided probably being 125 points.

Honestly, since Kill Team revolves around a 20 man roster, I kinda like the idea that all Core and Elites units are available to build a roster expecting to play both 100 and 125 point limit games. So make sure to have lists in mind for both point limits. At this this way the meta might be a little harder to pin down as fast since, in theory, a faction roster could be different optimizing for a 100 point game compared to a 125 point game and vice versa. I just suspect that players being players are going to like the idea of list building twice with the same 20 models. So I expect a single point total will be the way going forward eventually.

You know, there are a bunch of commanders that are more than 100pts...


We'll continue to randomly generate missions (I've got all 114 of them) so we'll be playing all of the various point levels.

This is the current split of missions BTW

100pts - 60 missions
125pts - 15 missions
200pts - 27 missions
no limit (open play) - 12 missions

Ork choppa is listed as costing 1 pt. Anyone knows if this is misprint or they've just nerfed boys and kommandos in KT?

It has no effect on boys and kommandos.

P12

However, you must use the points values given in this book for data sheets from this book
Data sheets from other Kill Team publications are not affected.
