New killteam rules?
« on: December 22, 2013, 08:59:43 PM »
So, GW published a new version of KillTeam, digital only $12 for the epub version.

I didn't buy it because based on GW digital's  track record, I was afraid it would be a 100% copy and paste of the end of the 5th edition "Battle Missions" book (which had a set of Kill Team rules, not very polished, as an appendix).

However, in general, I'm very interested in Kill-Team-like games (such as, BG's 500pt events). 

Did anyone buy the new kill team?  What do you think?

I'm quite interested in this too but, well, I'm not about to take the plunge right now.

EDIT:

I wonder how much different it is than this:

Someone showed it to me. It's not the one from Battle Missions. Actually a bit more involved, with one model nominated as a leader, and others made into specialists (with various special rules applied). Then a bunch of new missions for kill teams. Seems pretty solid overall.

I saw them, they look interesting and streamlined enough. Removing sometimes debilitating if fluffy rules (champion of chaos) and keeping the limitations on 2+, AV values to 33 max(F/S/R) and no fliers really helps.
