Kill Team Starstriders Faction Guide Annual 2022 

This is definitely the strangest change!

@@GlassHalfDead Is it as strange as patently avoiding "Fetch" in both Kroot and Canid data sheets?

@@Rathamak Not calling it Fetch was a clear mistake and the beginning of the end of KT

But in the fluff text he is still called that at least :)

Yup, agreed!

Yes, correct!

Voidsmen as meat shields?

I think that none of the bonus applies, you are just using the model for visibility

I believe the answer is no, as they are not using that weapon, they are just how you're drawing LOS.

@@artificialkid9008 It's even directly stated that no abilities or Ploys work on it, other than Command Re-Roll.

You can, indeed!

Do you mean running Craftoworlds and taking 2 teams of Dire Avengers? I mean it's a great start! You're not going to be topping any tournaments against decent players, but you can do really really well against other compendium teams and a few spec teams too!

@@GlassHalfDead Yes, craftworlds, in general. Because I have Dire Avengers around, else, I could pick up some Rangers. Heard they're not bad. Thanks pal

@@bastich4225 Since Craftworlds were changed in the balance dataslate so every fire team has +1 operative, they are in a really decent position and will take you far!

I think that Digi Laser is that "Fuck You" button when you have an enemy with 2-4 wounds in a cover that you know will make all its saves because of course it will.

Great to see the stats! It's still a weird weapon!

Heirloom is 5.43 average against a 3+ save. So Digi Laser is going to be a more for sure way to kill in range due to the lack of modifiers if the target has any sort of benefits to armor at that point. Rerolls, autosaves, etc. it’s just a nice option to have if you want to guarantee damage.

@@Dracodomin also vs say, custodes with their 2+ or death guard with their fnp stuff the digital laser becomes interesting

@@GundamReviver Well, the fnp blocks mortal wounds the same as regular wounds, but even so, it would be useful against them.

Anton, your enthusiasm is great, thank you for all the comments! But just a headsup, when EVERY comment is your version of the correct rules, it's a touch grating. It gives the impression you're just watching to be pedantic and add nothing else. And no, it isn't an interrupt raw as I explained (or if I didn't do it in this one, I did it in the kroot one as they have the same text, can't remember. I recorded all of these a while ago now!)

@@GlassHalfDead Sorry if I sound pedantic. But I try to write comments that actually add to the discussion. I don't like generic comments like "they look great" since it basically means nothing. Pointing out mistakes seems pretty fair to me. Especially those that affect some of the core combos of a team, I don't see how it isn't adding anything to the discussion. Though I admit that the way I'm doing it - in multiple comments, as I'm writing them along with the watching - may not be the best, I should've watched the video wholly and made one longer summed-up comment. And yes, maybe some of my particular comments are indeed overly pedantic (not this one, it's an important matter I believe), I'll try to keep myself from those. And no, it definitely is an interrupt I believe. In Kroot Hounds as well, I didn't pay enough attention to your interpretation then. The ability doesn't say "during your next activation" or whatever, it just goes "enemy finishes a Charge - you can perform a free Charge action". If it was meant to be a free Charge during your activation, the ability would directly say so. As written, the Charge happens immediately as it has no other timing specified.

@@antongrigoryev6381 Not at all, I'm all for multiple comments! I actually prefer them that way! I'm just letting you know, it's a bit of a grind. I understand why. It would be very weird if you left a comment every time I got something corrrect! But it inevitably means that every comment you leave is a negative. I'm just saying, put into the community the energy you want it to have. Fair enough, bud, agree to disagree. Jump into the Discord and hash the interrupt or not issue out in the rules channel, that's how I modify my intial read to what the real rules arguers decide after they bat it around for a few hours :)

No, it doesn't allow two Shoot actions. Free actions still count towards the "once per activation" limitation.

I'm sure there's plenty more combos! Not that one, as Anton points out, but others xD

Yikes.

I play Starsrtiders vs Deathwatch yesterday and he nominated his Shotgunner to execute my Puppy so I archeotech lasered his shotgunner to ashes with 3 crits and a hit. Fun times
