    I'm not sure just doing a "Valrak Digest" is deeply fair. But in summery: A new plastic knight with many visible shield generators and some kind of tesla coil gun. Blood angels will be the next big codex with a partal range refresh. Grey Knights are getting a new codex and a single model, and an upgrade sprue for the Dreadknight - even though they obviously need a whole new range.

    It seems much more likely to be a "new way to play" in a similar vein as Into The Dark than a replacement for traditional kill team. They'll probably launch a new edition with all the rules in so it will be more like an expansion than a replacement.

    @TabletopImpulse I wish that were the case because the teams that give you more ways to build your team appeal to me, but I can see GW marketing focused on teams that require only 1 box of models to buy to play. On the other hand it would be awesome if it was the other way around with every bespoke team expanded like some of the compendium teams to give choices in the models you bring.

    Rapid-fire comments (because YT flaked out & lost my original post) Scenario 1) I’m dubious about this one. Not because it’s not within the realm of the probable for GW to start a new edition from scratch, but because a game where all the teams fly doesn’t seem that compelling to me. It’d be like playing a game mode where you’re still moving from cover to cover, but you do it faster & the intervening terrain isn’t a problem. Add to that the shooting gallery effect if you stay up in the air. Pro: It would let them release or revamp a jump infantry unit from every army except GSC & Necrons (& they could just create those from whole cloth). Con: It would lose a lot of goodwill from one of the more active player bases. Scenario 2) The red box (a la Ashes of Faith) is a much more likely option. It lets them release some new sculpts & it’s likely to sell out almost immediately)assuming there AREN’T inventory issues. Pro: Helps tide folks over until the new edition releases (which I think will be in Q3 or Q4, not summer (Q2)). Con: It’ll be nigh impossible to get ahold of because of the ongoing production issues. Scenario 3) I could see this happening, they’d need to either build the teams or errata them pretty quickly to make sure they don’t become OP. Pro: Yay 4 boxes per year. Con: Hopefully they’ll be relevant in the next edition.

    My humble opinion : 1- terrain for next KT season is in rumour engine ( 2023-05-16 + 2023-05-16). 2- problel with flying is in this season becouse of nature of Bheta-decima ( this is reason why Void-dancer Troupe lost flying..). 3 - Next season we are back in normal open with two new teams with flying... ( GW doesn't care about old season balance). I don't think we're going to air next season...

    I personally think it is a new edition (two bespoke teams and unique terrain fits a launch box) but not nearly as dramatic about the fly rules as it sounds (ie whole game doesn’t become about it). Yes, it may add a new dimension with aerial combat (cool!), but I think overall the new edition will be a tweak on the current ruleset. Could see all the fully bespoke kits getting a compendium and anything that’s not also now a 40k unit getting invalidated (goodbye my beautiful hierotek) plus old compendium teams obviously gone.

    I just bought kommandos two months ago and would reaaaaally dislike, if I only got a few games in, before they were invalidated. I don't think 3 years is fair. Sure, some people, who buy a lot of minis and arr constantly getting the "cool new stuff", have already burned out on those old teams. But many people buy a little and longevity of those minis is a plus, not a minus. For example, my son is starting an army and I am happy, that we can still get classic Predators, for example.

    I felt KT 21 never did a lot with the Z axis of play, so these rumors make me curious. Sure there were some vantage points on a lot of open board maps, but that's about it. I could see a low G hive world terrain set with lots of spires. This specialized environment would call for the use of specialized "flying" kill teams. Not sure if this would take shape as a red box, new season or totally new edition. I plan to keep an open mind until we know more.

In regards to ways to not invalidate older teams, they could also have specific missions that are designed around both teams being flyers, ala the floor is lava type of special rules. They could also have themed missions where the a flying kill team is tasked with assaulting an entrenched ground kill team. Basically along the the lines of a beach head assault or paratrooper raid.

    I don't think they'll do "Kill Team takes to the skies" because that's not Kill Team, even conceptually. KT2018 and KT2021 were at least conceptually the same, even if the rules differed. If I wanted to play a game where terrain doesn't matter and we're flying around I'd play X-Wing. I would simply continue to play 2021 and so would a lot of people. So it would do the opposite of sell more models, except to people who are buying them for 40K anyway. I know we think GW are just robots rolling dice ala Futurama TV execs but if you look at what's actually been produced it's usually been at least a response to what people are asking for. Kill Team with Jetpacks is not what people are looking for.

    If you look at the existing scions sprues, one contains the bodies and the other contains the special weapons and command squad upgrades. Conceivably they could create a $60 usd, 10-model killteam comprised of two body sprues and a new jump pack upgrade sprue. This makes scenario 3 at least possible. However, Valrak also mentioned that Swooping Hawks are being refreshed as a Killteam kit. Conceivably there could be a third team in a Red Box type product, but I think more likely is Scenario 4... Scenario #4 - It's basically like Into the Dark. A new season, maybe a new edition, with a vertical terrain set that supports flying teams, but is compatible with existing ground teams. Honestly a vertical map is probably less game altering than the narrow confines of Into the Dark. The remaining season boxes would probably be a mix of flying and non-flying teams. GW would want to offer something to customers not interested in flying teams, and I don't think there are that many likely upgrade sprue candidates for existing jump kits. GW really likes to KT boxes to have at least 10 models, and all existing jump-pack kits are 5 models. Valrak also recently mentioned a rumor of a Ratling Killteam, which would fit nicely into the season a described due to their use of grappling hooks.

    It’s hard to say. From my perspective, Kill Team has just about run its course, in a sense. I don’t know how you keep the game fresh and keep releasing new teams, while at the same time, keep the game balanced. Bheta Decima, as released, strongly favored a handful of teams and very nearly invalidated the rest. Welsh John recently did a video suggesting a number of fairly major changes to Bheta Decima that he felt necessary to make the terrain set viable for balanced tournaments. So, that suggests that, during the development of Bheta Decima, GW was willing to introduce a new setting that pretty clearly left something like two thirds of existing teams out in the cold. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if GW said, okay folks, we’ve developed a completely new skirmish level 40k game. Feel free to keep playing KT21 but we’re not going to support it after this last balance update.

    I've speculated before on KZread comments discord and live stream about this. Here is my take. New edition KT will be a rules tidy-up with new books in 2025 (see golden ticket shenanigans and product delays for that push back). Kill Team into the sky will be the 4th box/red box later this year with flappy flap flaps. It will include a flappy game mode for and be a springboard for 40k range refreshes of vespid, jump pack stuff, swooping hawks, nid Gargoyles/Shrikes etc. An only flying new edition is not a game. It is a feature. Also Harlequins losing 'fly' is probably future proof against new 'fly' rules. Insert Jeff Goldblum gif saying *cheeseburger*

    Valrak gets things wrong occasionally, but far more often than not he is correct. Elysians would actually be pretty cool in my opinion, though Scions with jump packs would be a little lame.

    It's been a lot better in the UK anyway, only the Beta Decima terrain has been hard to get hold of.

    I am sorry, but this video seems to be like watching surgeons debating over a dead body. This iteration of kill team is a fundamentally bad game design. Seriously, the only reason it is even remotely successful is not because it is a good game, but because of the models used to play it. Just like Big 40K. Honestly the best way to make GW design a better game, is to stop engaging with a bad game entirely.

    You will need to explain exactly how KT'21 is fundamentally bad game design. From my point of view, having played miniature games for 26+ years (from GW to De Bellis Antiquitatis), KT'21 is one of the company's top two rulesets released since 2001. It's rules promote nuanced, in-game tactical play. It stresses maneuvering much more than typical for GW games. It also has amazing balance despite the number of factions in the system. The only game that supersedes KT'21 is Underworlds, but it is a boardgame which makes it easier to achieve a balanced environment. Also, when I say these are GW's top games, I also believe their quality stands high among the general gaming crowd.

    @@henryrodriguez6260 I don't need to explain anything. Your logical fallacy of appealing to authority means little, as we can go both go back and forth, waving our grognards in front of each other to see who has the biggest field of experience. In the end, who cares? certainly not I, but you seem to hold such as a justification for how your judgement is better. Sales also do not equal objective quality. Again, pretty dollies are why it is popular. Take them away, and you have a shit game using meh models. You don't expect your mind to be changed, so why the fuck should I entertain justifying my stance to you?

    It's okay, I gave up arguing with 40k players, they will defend GW's poorly written game systems to the Grave and will spit out any suggestions of rules, or trying different game systems like a toddler eating vegetables. I tried to explain yesterday how the 10th edition Fight phase is silly because if you didn't charge that turn, then your opponent always gets to go first in your own turn wiping out models before they even got to fight. Watched a player get pretty upset when his Blood Thurster died to Custodes before it got to do anything in his turn. I suggested there are better systems like Battletech. Everyone fires at the same time before models are removed. Told I was too negative and should take my ideas somewhere else. Like I genuinely don't understand after playing better systems, why the Blood Thurster and Custodes, at least in the fight phase, don't get to both fight before models are removed. I genuinely don't understand how that makes less sense to people than your opponents models fight first in your own turn, and your models die before they get to do anything... but real story
