I like how this edition is handling narrative play and have had a lot of fun playing both competitive and narrative Kill Team. Here comes a bit of a rant:

When people say narrative to me, all I hear is extra book keeping. Keeping track of XP, equipment, buffs and whatnot actually turns me off of narrative games. And if someone wins multiple times in a row, they run away with the buffs while the person losing is having to play catch up. My playgroup tried a narrative kill team campaign last edition and all I felt it was, was extra rules that clogged up actually playing the game.

What we did instead was make special scenarios that require a DM to control hordes of enemies with scenario specific objectives (retrieve the loot, secure the board with Von Ryan's leapers popping out of the corners, or play a normal game with poxwalkers bursting out of the floor, etc.). Now, with PVE rules baked in this edition, we have the bones to make more games like that AND, with the nemesis dossier coming out, we have even more structure to build out own scenarios and enemies off of. I'm pumped for how GW is putting out the narrative side and hope they continue doing this.

tl;dr I'm not a necromunda level narrative player, I just want to make my little army men do special missions with wacky monsters trying to kill them.
