Warhammer 40K Tabletop Thread XXXVII: Highlighting the Contrasts

[Razgriez]

Well if you all were hoping that the August 2019 Errata of Warhammer 40,000 Killteam was going to buff Adeptus Astartes or have proper corrections and update them to have stats akin to Codex 8.2, allow me to curb your enthusiasm.

There's a clarifications on a few rules, but otherwise, the main thing is clarifying Dark Angels Chapter Trait: Grim Resolve and removing the Stealth Commander Specialist that was given to non-commanders. But that's it.

Captains in Phobos Armor (Elite Expansion):and 3 Damage Master-Crafted Instigator Bolt Carbines? Nope
Lieutenants in Phobos: Still have a "Close Combat Weapon", which still doesn't give +1 Attack like Chainswords or Combat Knives ("But its balanced on Knife Fighter's bonus!" shouts the the GW Balance team, to which I say "This is KT, that's not a justification)
Eliminators with Strength 5 Bolt Sniper Rifles? Nope (especially with KT: Elite adding additional units with more weapon options)

There's no Designer Explanation either like "We think this might be too good for the value in KT, so we didn't change it". So instead it comes off more as "No one in Play-Testing/Rule Designs/etc is bothering to talk among each other in between game systems."



Anyways, maybe I'll write up a KT: Elites Astartes review latter.

EDIT: I mixed up the Equipment for Captains and Lt. in Phobos
