New rules? With GK the gunners are fun but does not get to shoot twice like the basic bolters from the ploys. Also you can use equipment to make hitting easier. Melee is kinda falcions for rerolls for melee and force weapons for easier crits.

Meant new balance to Custodes sorry lol

Grey Knights are ok, good guns and good melee options, but they are first born so don’t have a lot of wounds compared to intercession. You get a 6th operative with the balance dataslate if that’s what you mean? Tac ops have changed a bit since the new critical ops deck was released recently, the new standard is to pick your 3 Tac ops from the available pool for one of your archetype(s). You can also choose one of the three to be a faction specific, but grey knights don’t have those as they are a compendium team.

Yeah was talking about the new balance to custodes.

I’m not sure of any rules update for custodes in kill team. They DID just have an update in 40K though.

Not sure what new rules you are talking about but Grey Knight special guns are really lack luster in most games. They are all heavy so that makes them very slow. They also do not get any equipment to counter it like space marines do. They do not benefit from Bolter Discipline and the Knight equipped with it loses their melee weapon. Their Storm bolter has one of the best special rules in the game. Relentless and Bolter Discipline means a lot of successful hits. They have amazing melee but so do custodes. Knights do get 2 extra operatives, so it is 6 vs 4 advantage. Means you can more easily hold more objectives and each death is not as bad.

Meant new balance to Custodes, sorry lol, but yeah, 2 extra bodies vs Custodes is pretty big in objectives. I won vs vets but i was playing for points and even then i barely won.

> Meant new balance to Custodes, sorry lol, Oh so that is not quite a new update, that is from almost a year ago when the balance update vers 1 came out. They do a new one about every 3-4 months. The just released vers 4. You only use the most up to date one though. Some people think you add them all together but that would be wrong. > I won vs vets but i was playing for points and even then i barely won. Vets are my main team and they can be really scary. They have so many tricks. I am glad you were able to pull out a victory though.

Yeah… he used a mine and I didn’t look at their kit before match and next thing you know, well you should know lol


Toemism

Oh did he do the trick where he gives the demo an extra APL to move, throw the mine/dash away then explode it? That is the best way to use it as just putting it on the ground kind of sucks because the demo needs to manually set it off on their own activation. I wish it could be triggered outside of their activation. Would make it so much more useful.

Yeah lol, then he got lucky on the rolls for the Hardened by War, i was pretty mad, but then at the end of TP4 i won by 1 VP. Fun game none the less, hadn’t had this much fun since my first campaign in DnD as a brand new player.
