Oh, great, so 3 of my 4 Kill teams will only be properly supported for one more year:
Why does game-workshop have to games-workshop everything that people like 😠
@heretic_hannes @warhammer40k dropping off the Classified list only means they won’t be allowed at GW-run tournaments. Other tournaments will still be fine
All currently existing teams will continue getting rules updates for all of Kill Team 3
@yith @warhammer40k
I hope so! Let’s see how it will be in practice.
@heretic_hannes @warhammer40k As a Tyranid player, I have some words 🤣
GW games, especially the sidegames are part of a treadmill. It is unfortunate, but realistic to not expect constant or consistent support for anything particular in side systems.
This is part of why I don’t build models to adhere to a competitive meta. Rules change so much that chasing the tournament scene is just exhausting.
I recommend, if possible, getting a group onto a more stable system such as all agreeing to an older or current version of Kill Team, or an alternative ruleset like Grimdark Firefight. I have found gaming is more fun when using rules not bound by constant updates.
@heretic_hannes @warhammer40k in two minds on this update. One - clarity on and something of a roadmap is very welcome. Other side - it’s hard reading seeing teams being “declassified”. But I just wonder what that actually means.
What’s your reading of Classified? If this paragraph is on the money, then follow on diagram and other bits of the piece are a bit OTT on the “declassified”.
If it’s just they drop off tournament circuit, but continue to get updates. I’m not that put out.
@rollleafd @warhammer40k
It seems similar to “Legends” in #Warhammer40k, i.e. there will be official-inofficial datasheets for a while, but they will quickly become unbalanced, not follow bigger rule changes and thus become unusable—unless you play by older rules entirely, which you also don’t want because one of the players likely has a new team that didn’t have rules before.@heretic_hannes @rollleafd @warhammer40k
Declassified teams will continue getting rules/balance updates for the rest of the editionThat makes them significantly different from bighammer legends imo
Yeah, I enjoyed the ability previously to have an opportunity to paint up a small squad of a random army I wouldn’t collect otherwise.
This change not only removes that, but also kills my interest in killteam, to be honest. But I’m someone who liked the customisation from v1, so I’m clearly not the target 😅
