  We had our first game of the new edition of Kill Team last night!

  Only got through two rounds, and we played without equipment—apart from barricades, just to match it from the last edition—but I'm really liking how streamlined the rules are, the new rules for line of sight and cover are SO much clearer now. In terms of actually scoring anything it was a miserable failure on my part, I didn't get anything at all but that was mostly my fault for fucking up my deployment (and I now have a whole new set of chapter tactics I need to remember as well), but that's fine, this was just a "Get used to the rules" game anyway. I am disappointed at how much of a nerf plasma has had though... even when supercharged, my Assault Intercessor's plasma pistol is only 4/5 damage, Piercing 1.

  Side note, the Nemesis Claw "You're obscured if you're within one inch of heavy terrain" rule is SO IRRITATING. 😛 At least they can be shot at now, but obscuring still means that you're very unlikely to deal any damage unless you roll really well AND the Nemesis Claw player rolls really poorly.

  We had a three-player game of Kill Team today, Corsair Voidscarred vs. Veteran Guard vs. Warp Coven!

  ...it didn't go well, I still don't really know what I'm doing with my Voidscarred and I keep forgetting their ploys. 😞 It was fun enough to play, but by the end of the second turn the scores were 10 to Veteran Guard, 4 to me, and 0 to Warp Coven, and there was exactly one miniature left of the Warp Coven which I killed in my first activation of the third turn before he could activate. 😅

  We ended up calling it there because there was no possible way I could win. There were just too many Guardsmen to deal with, and like half of my team is short-ranged so several of them didn't even do ANYTHING before they were killed. There was also some spell that the Warp Coven Sorcerer cast in the second turn that utterly fucked me in particular, where nobody gets the extra 2" movement for charges and when you dash you lose 2" of range so you end up being able to dash all of 1". The Voidscarred rely heavily on their free dash, so... yeah.

  The terrain we played on was fantastic, but I've decided I prefer the Into The Dark board setup because the first turn is easy (nobody is going to be able to shoot each other because the doors are all closed), and there's no vantage points to worry about either.
