Welcome to Tabletop Impulse, a channel about Kill Team.
I main the Sisters Novitiates, and you can watch me struggle to "get good" via battle reports.
Listen to my various Kill Team related musings, and the occasional Kill Team adjacent Hobby video.
I really hope you enjoy it. - Phil

I've been playing 40K since 4th edition, and quit Warhammer fantasy battle in 7th edition. Dabbled with age of Sigmar when it first came out and haven't touched it since. Pretty much full focused financially and energy-wise into 40k. Either as purchases or already having the models, I have at least seven combat patrols and play them each week with my girlfriend. I really don't want to invest any money in spearhead but I too am curious about it. Digging through my closet of shame I found several age of Sigmar start collecting boxes. So I can field blades of Khorne and I just need to pick up some kroxigors to make the seraphon spearhead. They are the old sculpts but I can field slaves to darkness... Anyway, I don't plan to get into age of sigmar, so having the ability to get to the table and play some spearhead periodically should be fun. I was thinking earlier today, it's easy to think of the new Skaventide box as an age of Sigmar launchbox that comes with a spearhead book, but perhaps it's a spearhead launch box that comes with an age of Sigmar rulebook... With all the free rules I don't need the book. I ordered the cards and game board off eBay this afternoon. I will supply my own terrain.

I'm flattered! Really thank you for the mention. So far the metal video is not getting many views so I'm very happy to get feedback that someone likes it!
How about a drop in prices?
Nice idea, never going to happen! The best we can hope for is that they don't go up for a while and so fall in real terms. That has happened before.
@@TabletopImpulse $50+ for an unnamed HQ model is unforgivable.
@@Mericaball Yeah, I guess I have brit privileges, a space marine captain that costs you $42 only costs me the equivalent of $33.60. Then the poor Australians have it worse again. They would pay the equivalent $45.4 American for the same character.
"Andor... unarguably the best..." Hear, hear!
I used to think saying the star was with no lightsabers in was the best was a hot take, but it appears to be a frozen take.
Any news on the rumours on vashtorrs special unit?
Sorry chap, I've heard nothing!
Blood Bowl still no High Elves and Chaos Dwarfs GW sculpts
Interesting! Thanks for letting me know. I can understand no Chaos Dwarfs to an extent, games workshop seems to want to forget they exist - no High Elves is just plain weird.
Need new Fyreslayers units after these initial AOS releases. Ironjawz spearhead box too
I could see Ironjawz coming quick quickly, I imagine they are going to try and split the releases fairly evenly between the four grand alliances, so I would expect to see a Distruction army book (could be Ironjawz) and some kind of Death army book after the first two which will obviously be stormcast and skaven.
@@TabletopImpulse maybe bonereapers if they have this Warcry unit to add in. Still no Malerion Aelves. A lot of old dark elves still in with Cities of Sigmar when a lot has been removed from that range
49:00 A certain part of the Bloodbowl community has always been heavy on the herbal cigarettes and commedy elements of the Warhammer universe.
heh
I think the issue is people see it as having to buy a whole book to get the rules on the app which doesn't really make a difference as you say, you'd have bought the codex anyway, but I think people see digital content as less valuable so want to buy the digital rules for less (or get them for free). I'd be willing to bet that if GW released the digital code as a stand alone for like £10-20 people would think it was a great deal.
Im pretty sure we are getting a Krieg plastic release wave, and judging from the rumour engine it's gone be a command squad with a marshal
Definitely think Kreig is on the way eventually, I think the Imperial Guard codex will be Kreig focused, but I think they are coming after the stuff I went through in the video (and probably after a couple of book and one model codex's also)
There are a lot of things going on around GenCon, but none of them relate to GW as far as I know. Mostly it's controvicy about RPG awards and the new D&D. It's possible that GW don't want to be overshadowed by D&D Next, but I don't really buy that.
My knowledge is pretty limited to the fact that there was GW preview, people got tickets for it, and then it was canceled.
I must say, imperialis has me intrigued... Ive been wanting to try a small scale game like that. Has an epic feel to it and the terrain is soooo much cheaper (not GW). I know nothing about it but I also assume the board is way smaller. I imagine it has the same vibe as playing an RTS game
I don't know much about it, but I don't know that the table is smaller! Look into it carefully before you buy would be my advice.
@@TabletopImpulse that's fair, I'd look in to it a fair bit before jumping in. If the table size is the same that's a bit mental.
@@Broken777Arrow depends on the point sizes games. If you like a smaller games in the heresy setting Titanicus is one of the best games.
A shame about underworlds really, some of the models are phenomenal... theres an ok scene in the UK. Element and the like put on some well supported tournaments but yea its not getting much attention from GW.
I feel like underworlds models are some of the best GW have ever produced, but I also think they kind of declined towards the end? My suspicion is they where being used as 'first projects' for newly hired sculptors.
@@TabletopImpulse hmm, the thricefold and cereneis razer's from deathgorge were pretty good, not the best, but pretty good. Can't say much about wintermaw as they aren't my cup of tea. The test sculpts might be a thing but I always wondered if they were tests for new sculpting/manufacturing methods rather, they tend or tended to push the limits on details and sprue organisation
Won’t lie, loved the quality street/roses/mini heroes controversy
That's what I do!
GW is hosting the Tacoma open on us west coast July 19-21. Maybe GW would rather do a preview from one of their own events
Hope so, that would be a good date for a preview- nothing to suggest that in the information that currently exists for the Tacoma open though.
All the delays are crazy, I’m still waiting for a necromunda character shown of in January! Feels like releases have really stalled
For the smaller games, I think releases have certainly stalled, yes. It's possible GW just has more games then it can properly support. I suppose that's why they are trying to build a new factory.
Bloodbowl has always been silly. That new team might have it dialed up to 11 but it still fits the world.
Blood Bowl has always been silly, but grounded in the Warhammer World. These Gnomes out Halfling the Halflings.
I wish someone would escape from GW, go hide out in a Peruvian embassy and tell us what the heck is actually going on. It almost feels like we’re on the Titanic and watching people rearrange the deck chairs.
I don't know about Titanic, age of sigmar is the big thing that is in the process of coming out. It's not that GW is running out of stuff to release, just that we know nothing about 40k and Kill Team which is a little weird.
Titanic.., big luxury liner, hit by iceberg, sunk in the North Atlantic. Now you’re up to date 😁. But really, the most logical theory I’ve heard espoused is that GW has held back any discussion of, let alone release of, new products to try to focus fan interest on Skaventide. They’re really becoming detached from reality it seems. I’m not interested in Skaventide. Don’t play and not interested in playing either faction in the box. Not actually a huge fan of 40k or AoS. Probably in large part because I don’t have the opportunity to devote a whole day to playing one game. I don’t have the focus to paint 2000pts of anything and I don’t have the mental bandwidth to keep all the special rules for even one faction straight, let alone being able to remember all the weird shenanigans that 24 factions can pull. I didn’t buy Leviathan, I’m not going to buy Skaventide just because it’s the only thing on preorder. I did buy Dominion... for $130 including tax, because the FLGS was was desperate to get rid of the stack of boxes they had pushed on the by GW, and I thought... “$60 each for two whole small armies? And I’m kind of helping out the store? Okay maybe I’ll get around to it some day.” As it sits, unopened, on my wall of shame.
Another really weird thing... GW pulled the Duardin(Dwarf) kits from the website, but they’re still part of Cities of Sigmar index. What’s going on here? One suggestion is that they are being repackaged for The Old World and that the Dwarfs are soon to be released. But this is so strange. People will still be buying them for AoS, no matter what the package says. Another theory is that when Cities gets their Battle Tome , the Duardin will be dropped at point. Also a strange approach.
Huh, I had not realised that. That's weird. Especially that they are still part of the Cities of Sigmar index released yesterday. Maybe they will be going to legends when Cities of Sigmar gets an army book?
Daring to dream here, but I’d be delighted to get a new Deathwatch upgrade sprue so you can kit out Primaris marines as Deathwatch Vets. Add in a new inquisitor & the retinue sprues from ashes of faith and that would be terrific. Now, that being said, if that were happening we’d have had a leaked image by now. So in dreary realism land I expect we’ll get an Inquisitor + a 5-man squad of intercessors + a 5-man terminator squad + the existing DW shoulder pad sprue. If they do a FOMO box for Hereticus & Malleus to trot out a new Inquisitor model for each of those it’ll be alongside whatever kits are appropriate & overstocked in the warehouse, which is to say Battle Sisters & Grey Knights Strike Squads respectively.
Sounds plausable!
I think we will see dedicated online preview for kilteam like it was two and three years ago. Or because of delay maybe we will something on Nova?
A dedicated preview could be on the cards! One thing I didn't say in the video is when 40k came out, Tyranids and space marines both got some kind of focused preview.
@@TabletopImpulse hovewer I think that new edition we will see later than usual. Instead of july/august I think this time will be autumn.
Aww, I was hoping this was going to be after you played and were going to be giving your thoughts on the game itself!
Don't worry, that video will happen before the end of the month!
30:30 How very English of you 🤣
I like what I like!
Squad points are very much based on the abilities that the character brings to the table. You can argue that they''ve given the outliers abilities they shouldn't have, but the costs are mostly justified.
I felt that might be the case and things might make sense after getting familiar with the game, but you have to admit on the face of it it feels kind of funny.
Nice rundown. I'm looking forward to the inferno squad/Iden Versio box coming out. That will probably be the box i get. Now i need to think about other boxes and maybe getting the core box. So many awesome games. So little time
That box is out now! Element have 10+ in stock, 10% off use my referral link! I had to look up who Iden Versio even was on wookipedia, but glad you will enjoy it.
8:55 I'm 100% with you on that one. The period between Revenge of the Sith and the end of A New Hope is peak Star Wars, and Solo is criminally underrated. There are a few dodgy moments, but overall it's fantastic. Sadly despite hjow amazing it is I don't think we'll get anything from Andor in Shatterpoint. It just doesn't fit the feel of the game.
It's perhaps not the most obvious choice, but I could see them doing an Andor themed box, maybe more based around Rogue One though.
The eras are like seasons, no one is certain where one begins and one ends. However it will provide vigorous debate on discord to drive all crazy lol 😅
Ah, perhaps.. more interested to argue about than seasons though!
The shatter point heroic scale seems quite nice, good paint job. I play SW legion, and the models are just a touch too small, but I really play that game for the vehicles
Do you know, they really are nice to paint. I have more fun painting them then Warhammer most of the time.
Great rundown of the game. The list building was something I was wondering about.
Happy to have helped!
Last Star Wars content I’ve seen is the last three movies. None of the online stuff. Not a big fan I guess.
If you have Disney Plus, I do think that the new live action star wars series are rather good. Animated stuff a bit more hit and miss.
I like it. Better than all of these Skyrim videos.
Objectively so! That's why the Skyrim videos are a silly little bonus for members and the main channel videos are still about, you know ,Tabletop Games.
I'm pretty familiar with GSC weapons and I'm not afraid to Google, but I was deeply pleased that the build instructions for KT Termination included a page with all the weapons organised and named! For what it showed of the thought behind it.
Yeah, I clean forgot they had started putting those in instructions as well as caudexes. It's awesome.
We use Tabletop Battles for game management in 40K
I'll look into that
Is the 40K app well updated? I think it’s very haphazard. For instance, the synapse and teeming brood changes haven’t made it into the combat patrol section
That's really interesting, I generally find the app really well updated but I have not looked into the combat patrol stuff for a while. Are we absolutely sure that in the mind of GW that balance dataslate changes are supposed to apply to combat patrol?
@@TabletopImpulse Personally I think it’s very unclear. The data slate does say “this applies however you play 40k”. I understand that TOs are applying it - but I haven’t seen that totally confirmed. It’s frustrating, because I’m enjoying combat patrol as a way to go slightly bigger than KT. But the rule situation is very confusing.
Yeah, aside from people wanting something for nothing I don’t understand the hesitation. And, as you pointed out - they can use the app for free. I will point out that after the balance dataslate there are some rules out of sync.
Oh interesting, what rules are out of sync?
The Vtuber you talked about did a video. IIRC, there are some core rules changes that haven’t made it to the core rules pdf yet & some data sheet changes (like the one for captains & canonesses) that haven’t made it to the app yet.
32:17 I would agree wholeheartedly were it not for the fact (which you mentioned to be fair) the cards are next to impossible to buy.
Yeah, GW need to get it together when it comes to selling decks of cards.
I don’t like using my phone for gaming purposes, much for the same reasons as you. For list building, surprise-surprise, I use a pencil and paper with the downloaded most recent points costs printed out. My current favorite method of referencing unit stats is the cards. Either homemade or purchased if available. Tracking game state, back to pencil and paper because you just can’t trust dice not to get knocked about or accidentally picked up and rolled.
Fair, personally I will always want something digital as I find hand writing stuff desperately tedious.
There’s something profoundly satisfying about the idea that Codexes and Harry Potter are the saviours of children’s literature. 😂 I’m 100% down with the idea of Codexes as lore vehicles, they just shouldn’t be the primary source of rules. That should be digital and free. The argument you briefly postulated that free rules mean bad rules really doesn’t hold water either as I can list the companies that provide digital rules which are not better than Corehammer on the fingers of one foot.
To clarify, what I postulate is that if GW made rules free the rules would get less man hours put into them. Because of how GW is organized into profit centers, the rules department would no longer have a balance sheet to point to to justify existing. You can have good free rules, if you don't have the corporate culture of GW. But I think it's basically impossible for GW to make good free rules.
I love the physical books. Because I’m old. I subscribe to White Dwarf. I read the magazines, basically, cover to cover. I buy the Black Library books. The paper versions. I just like books.
I do agree that it's nice that these things continue to exist. I also subscribe to White Dwarf, but I must confess to not reading each one cover to cover.
It’s kind of insane how there isn’t a Launchbay Next or YASB 2 equivalent for 40K.
Imagine a world in which I know what those things are.
bottom tier whale noise, more of a seal noise unsubbed 😂
I can only apologise.
