Hey, Kill Team fans! Big news from the frontlines: a new Balance Dataslate just dropped, and it’s shaking things up in our favorite skirmish game. With every quarterly update, some operatives rise to dominance while others get a little nudge back in line. This update is no different, bringing a mix of buffs, nerfs, and subtle changes to keep the game balanced and exciting. Let’s dive into the details and see what’s new!
Buffs, Nerfs, and Everything in Between
First off, a few top-performing kill teams have been gently nerfed, while some of the underdogs got a much-needed boost. These adjustments aim to level the playing field and keep every match competitive. You can check out all the changes by downloading the latest Balance Dataslate – just look for the asterisks (*) to spot the new tweaks.
Fellgor Ravagers: Reining in the Chaos
The Fellgor Ravagers have been tearing up the killzone like nobody’s business. To tone down their dominance, the Reckless Determination Strategic Ploy no longer works if they’re in Cover. This means they can’t just bunker down and boost their defenses – they’ll need to stay on the move, charging across open ground like true Chaos-worshipping Beastmen. Additionally, several of their operatives swapped the ultra-reliable Relentless rule for the slightly less potent Ceaseless, making them just a bit more vulnerable. These changes might seem minor, but they should help balance the Fellgors with other teams.
Hierotek Circle: Tuning the Necrons
Last time around, the Necrons of the Hierotek Circle got some significant buffs, and it’s been working out well. This update brings a slight tweak to their Reanimation Protocols ability based on their recent performance. Overall, the Necrons are looking sharp and ready to take on the killzone with renewed vigor.
Space Marine Scout Squad: Fresh Updates
The Space Marine Scout Squad is getting its first update since Kill Team: Salvation. They’ve gained an extra operative, which should give them a solid edge. Plus, their Hunter and Warrior operatives get a small boost in close combat damage – just what they need to handle those pesky Fellgors.
Other Notable Changes
- Chaos Legionaries: Now you can include operatives with any Mark of Chaos on your roster. However, they still have to consider historical hatreds when forming a specific kill team.
- Traitor Ogryns of the Blooded: No more protection from Light Cover and smaller allies.
- Exaction Squad Gunners: The Terminal Decree Strategic Ploy now lets them re-roll an attack dice regardless of distance, adding some flexibility to their strategy.
There are plenty of other tweaks and adjustments sprinkled throughout the update, so make sure to download the Balance Dataslate and see how your kill teams are affected. And don’t forget to keep sending in your feedback – every bit helps make Kill Team the most balanced and exciting skirmish game out there.
Time to hit the killzone and see how these changes play out. Good luck, operatives!
