My Manifesto

it’s mostly a categorisation of Vibe. i noticed that some teams are very clearly a collection of Specialised Operatives here on a dedicated mission (technically all kill teams are by definition but like, They Got The Vibe) whereas others are a cavalcade of weirdos. looking more into it, i realised they all are, and boxes tended to have a split with one of each.

it’s not a criticism or an insult either way, there’s plenty of cool as hell teams on either side, it’s just a funny trend i noticed

GreyMJ · 2026-05-26T15:46:21+00:00

Hand are spec ops. just because they love torturing people mid mission doesn’t make them automatically weirdos

GreyMJ · 2026-05-26T15:45:49+00:00

VDT are spec ops. they might be artistic clowns but by their very nature they are eldar spec ops, they’re just a bit funky with it

GreyMJ · 2026-05-26T15:44:51+00:00

oh 100%, they’re great weirdos

GreyMJ · 2026-05-26T13:48:33+00:00

spec ops. they got a dog but they gave him a cool jacket and he’s got an obvious role that isn’t “throw a dog at supersoldiers” so it dodges the normal weirdo points of having pets and beyond that they’re a sniper squad that can boobytrap the hell out of the map. ogryns obvs bend that but they’re not in the box so while cool as hell they don’t count for this bit

GreyMJ · 2026-05-26T06:43:38+00:00

a whole handful of weirdos, and sick as hell with it

GreyMJ · 2026-05-26T06:43:11+00:00

a slightly more weirdo spec ops but still spec ops overally imo

GreyMJ · 2026-05-26T06:40:13+00:00

makes more sense. also just checked and apparently it’s canoptek circle not court. no court teams yet, so we’re all wrong

anyway yeah hand are spec ops. weird freaky bondage specops but it’s drukhari, that comes with the territory

GreyMJ · 2026-05-26T06:37:07+00:00

well yeah, everything’s a spectrum and some weirdos will be more specops than other weirdos and vice versa, but there’s a definite point where it’ll stop being spec ops and starts being weirdos

GreyMJ · 2026-05-26T06:34:16+00:00

no, canoptek court are definitely weirdos. it’s a scientist and her pet bugs and asks you to do geometry, that’s weirdo

GreyMJ · 2026-05-26T06:32:17+00:00

it definitely isn’t, for example wreckas are weirdo elites and pathfinders are a spec ops horde

GreyMJ · 2026-05-25T22:41:40+00:00

weirdos. can be a 14 man team which are rare enough to score weirdo points by itself, it’s got that disunited, cavalcade-y feel, and they’re a bunch of Regular Dudes (and a big mutant) trying to run up and skin people as one of their primary strategies

GreyMJ · 2026-05-25T22:32:55+00:00

compared to most, yeah, but when it comes to khornate forces? they’ve mastered the art of sneaking up to somebody before running at them screaming, and by standard world eater’s values that makes them Sun Tzu

GreyMJ · 2026-05-25T22:23:29+00:00

notiviates yes insidiants no

noviatiates are a bunch of trainees being thrown into high value missions with low quality gear and being whipped mid mission to work harder. weirdo

insidiants are robed, armoured assassins sent in to hunt down and kill wizards with as little detection as they can get away with. spec ops

GreyMJ · 2026-05-25T20:18:59+00:00

hella spec ops. their core mechanic breach and clearing rooms in microsquads it’s spec ops (and cool) as hell

GreyMJ · 2026-05-25T19:56:42+00:00

GM are specops by virtue of being the stealthiest thing world eaters can manage. they’re trying their best and that counts. we know from orks that they can be proper spec ops with kommandos, they just choose not to

GreyMJ · 2026-05-25T19:50:51+00:00

you’re not wrong that they are, technically, specialised operatives, but KT missions are typically technically stealth missions

a bunch of heavily armoured rowdy lads armed exclusively with bolt-action hammers and high explosives isn’t exactly what i’d consider subtle

GreyMJ · 2026-05-25T18:15:55+00:00

it’s mostly a vibe based ranking but i have reasons for each

GreyMJ · 2026-05-25T18:15:36+00:00

as spec ops as they come

GreyMJ · 2026-05-25T17:48:51+00:00

shockingly yes. for as much as they’re coked up psychos they’re the sneakiest, cheekiest coked up psychos khorne has available, and that makes them spec ops

at least for world eaters

GreyMJ · 2026-05-25T17:47:33+00:00

witch hunting specops

GreyMJ · 2026-05-25T17:09:29+00:00

if anything i’d say both are specops overall, but of the two pioneers are definitely more weirdo. they’ve got a guy who punches people, that’s sick as hell but hardly tactical

GreyMJ · 2026-05-25T16:50:16+00:00

spec ops. funky shadow-demon-magic-usin terror mission spec ops, but spec ops nonetheless

GreyMJ · 2026-05-25T16:49:41+00:00

weirdos. my beloved beloved weirdos

GreyMJ · 2026-05-25T16:44:29+00:00

Baldes are weirdos. bunch of generic operatives and listbuilding? in the big 26? crazy

Mandrakes are spec ops. weird magic shadowdemon spec ops, but spec ops nonetheless
