The latest Balance Dataslate has just dropped for Kill Team. As ever, it contains a series of smart, targeted changes to adjust those kill teams which are overwhelming or underperforming. Warhammer TV’s own Ben spoke to Lead Game Developer Elliot to discuss all the changes.
As Kill Team enters the last chapter of the Gallowdark saga with the newly revealed boxed set Kill Team: Gallowfall, most factions seem to be in a fairly good spot. This dataslate brings specific changes to the Elucidian Starstriders, Gellerpox Infected, and the Imperial Navy Breachers to try and reduce their overall power.
The superhuman warriors of Chaos Space Marine Legionaries and Space Marine Intercession Squad also lose a pip or two of power. These are popular, effective teams that act as “gatekeepers”, meaning that underperforming teams often seem to struggle against them.
On the flipside, the Necron Hierotek Circle gets a substantial buff, joined by small but significant improvements to the Phobos Strike Team, Cadian Kasrkin, and Ork Kommandos.
There’s also a change to Critical Operations Missions which increases the Victory Point cap on the mission objective to 16.
You can download the Dataslate here, alongside a whole series of Errata and Designer’s Commentary documents for each affected faction.
