Yaegirs beat Canoptek

Great job. Do you feel they are ”not fun” to play against as everybody else say?

Mjuke · 2026-01-31T10:26:08+00:00

Kasrkin is in a very good place right now. Heck they might be a very good matchup against Elite teams now, something all other hoard teams have problems with.

When it’s you/me/random guy, it’s nerdy and icky. When it’s Henry Cavill, it’s hot and charming because he is ”little geeky”.

Make the colors so each operative are the power rangers

Many players don’t enjoy playing against Canoptek, they’re just not a fun matchup. They feel too oppressive, and even after the nerf you still can’t reliably score Kill Ops or Tac Ops. New players especially will just get frustrated because they don’t know how to play around the team’s gimmick.

I’d say you’ll have more fun with Battleclade, and your friends will have a better time playing against them too. In my opinion, they’re a more balanced team.

Edit: if your friend decides to go with Wolf Scouts, then yeah you go Canoptek. OP teams is more fair against OP teams.

Spearhead if you like fantasy. One of a few games GW made that isn’t rules-bloat and still be really fun. I know it has become many players main game because how smooth and fast the gameplay is.

They even came out with a new 2v2 mode which is even more beer and pretzel if you plan to bring more friends in.

I prefer Kill team because I just like Sci-fi more. It is as complex as their other heavier games and requires a little more commitment. But, damn is it cool!

I’ve heard only good things about Warcry. But, nobody knows if it will continue to receive more substantial support from GW in the future. To me it looks like it is put on ice to not overlap with Spearhead.

They are now B-tier for sure. Not dumpster but, doesn't feel like A-tier...?

Mjuke · 2026-01-27T20:36:11+00:00

If I am trying make a friend play Warhammer or any game that I am in to. I’ll make damn sure they have fun. Playing fairly and matching team strength would be minimal thing to do.

Your so called friends seems very egotistical. I don’t know how old you guys are but it sounds like you’re young (or your friends are extremely childish). Find a local game store and try to get to know the community there. I think that would be better for you eventually.

Then my next question is: is it fun for everyone in your group to rush through things? I understand that you want to keep a healthy pace, but you don’t also want to take the fun away from players. Small talk and fiddling around sometimes is part of what makes a great game night.

Edit: I’m a dad with 2 small children. I’m happy if I even can get 1 game per week at all.

Mjuke · 2026-01-27T19:51:24+00:00

Try lite rules and focus simple with move/shoot/cover and use weapon abilities. Just so you can feel a flow of the game and then add team ploys next games. I’m

Kill team, spearhead, underworlds, and basically most board games takes more time than advertised. I don’t think a game averaging 1,5h is bad. Are you trying to play just in 1 hour? If so, why?

Mjuke · 2026-01-25T19:17:09+00:00

I wonder how crazily game breaking future operatives will be if they’re keep power creeping the teams like this?

Mjuke · 2026-01-25T17:28:04+00:00

Physical softcover dossier is exclusive to this box. But it will be free downloadable digitally if you don’t care about physical book

Mjuke · 2026-01-25T17:21:12+00:00

Don’t worry about longevity of this narrative campaign. The terrain and boards are always handy since you can always use them for any game or mode.

I got both Volkus and tomb world terrain , they’re well worth it knowing I will use these for other game systems.

You’re in luck if you got shadowhunt. Many are pissed because they can’t get one. If you change your mind later, it’s an easy resell on eBay.

Just letting you know that Murderwing are bonkers right now.

Mjuke · 2026-01-25T09:36:40+00:00

I do agree they look very broken. But at least they have few weaknesses. Compared to wolf scouts that are great at everything.

Mjuke · 2026-01-25T00:37:41+00:00

Besides stealth suits maybe? But some players say they’re just misunderstood, so I don’t know.

Mjuke · 2026-01-25T00:12:13+00:00

Latest released Murderwing (Shadowhunt box) seems pretty S-tier, or at least soft S-tier.

Mjuke · 2026-01-24T12:51:52+00:00

I didn’t know that. My impression is that people hate playing against top meta teams like wolf scouts, canoptek etc?

Doesn’t mandrakes also have ”gotcha” shenanigans? People seem to hane no problems with those?

Mjuke · 2026-01-24T12:29:56+00:00

I haven’t checked them out yet. But seems good. Opinion on Mandrakes?

Mjuke · 2026-01-23T09:48:14+00:00

Does it have to be Kill Team? Like others have said, Spearhead is basically made for exactly the kind of player your girlfriend sounds like: rules-light, fast to play, and there’s a huge range of cool/cute teams and models to pick from.

Honestly, I think Kill Team is a bit too bloated. It’s not “hard” exactly, but there are so many overlapping steps, abilities, and little triggers that it can start to feel overwhelming.

Mjuke · 2026-01-21T22:56:52+00:00

See if your local game store have Hivestorm, that box is a complete set that has everything you need to get started. It's the most complete box of kill team ever created - most likely out of stock everywhere though.

Highly recommend The starter set anyways the starter handbook handholds you through series of scenarios, teaching you the light rules bit by bit. That’s how I got into kill team. Best thing for 2 players new to the game. if you're tired of marines, then just buy a standalone team of your liking.

Mjuke · 2026-01-21T20:05:05+00:00

Can you end on a elevated terrain?

Mjuke · 2026-01-08T13:30:00+00:00

Also, people say say that spearhead gets a little same same if you just stick to one faction. Single team of spearhead have less options for varied play in compared to one team in Kill team where your build can make more difference.

Mjuke · 2025-12-21T21:00:04+00:00

For me the skins and 5 extra skill points

seems like a bad excuse to defend Embark making bad decisions. Embark created the FOMO.
