Kill Team

This looks really cool; it's neat that they're making Kill Team a standalone game rather than it just being an expansion or something.

It looks a lot more manageable to play, paint, and build for too. Each side consists of five to ten models depending on the faction in question. This is a lot more manageable in terms of expense and time, as it's a lot easier to paint five or ten dudes compared to fifty for standard 40k.

The box set looks pretty neat.

These past few months I've been trying to get my brother into 40k so we have something to do together. I bought the recent Forgebane box set for us to play with, as he likes Necrons and I already had a moderately sized force of Adeptus Mechanicus dudes, and 8th edition is a lot easier to play than previous editions.

Still, I found it a bit difficult to get started because we didn't have any terrain (playing on a flat surface with no cover or buildings of any kind is boring), and it's a lot of work to build and paint even the small force of Necrons and Skitarii that came with Forgebane.

This looks like it solves a lot of those issues given the small scale and the inclusion of a game board and some terrain in the box set.

this is one of those things where if you use your imagination it's quite cool and rich, but if you don't, then it's just embarrassing

Cringe

Why, exactly? It's basically just a board game but with more of a narrative aspect. Is it the enthusiasm I expressed regarding it's release? I could see how that could come across as almost advertisement-like, but that wasn't my intention.

Oh yeah, if you don't put any time or thought into your dudes, or try and get invested in the events of the game or use your imagination it's totally lame. If you do use your imagination though, it can be a lot of fun.

40k isn't exactly a well balanced game anyway, so I really don't understand people who play competitively or play as a faction because their rules are better than others.
