Thundercloud: Kill Team, in the releases of factions built for Kill Team (Veteran Guardsmen, Kommandos, Novitiates, Tau Pathfinder Operators, Hunter Clades), appears to be largely built around reasonably large (10-14 operatives) Kill Teams. Credit: Rockfish So why are Custodes so good?
Mechanicus have too, which is good news for players who want to switch to the new Hunter Clade, which appears to be a more powerful variant of the faction.Ĭustodian Guard. Grey Knights have also put up some respectable numbers, and Kommandos and Veteran Guardsmen also appear to have done alright. They are without peer in Kill Team 2.0, and it’s not particularly close. There is at least one of each in those categories from the lists we do have, so it still bears breaking out, but it’s worth noting that there are a couple of gaps here.Īlright now for the other thing: Talons of the Emperor – or Adeptus Custodes, as most players will think of them – have an astounding 79% win rate so far. They’ve also won all but one of the events in our sample, and have gone undefeated 11 times in events, for a record of 55 wins, 14 losses, and 1 tie. One thing worth noting: We don’t have all the lists – they aren’t all publicly available – so it’s difficult to figure out how many “Ork” lists are actually Kommandos, and how many “Imperial Guard” lists are actually Veteran Guardsmen. That’s a pretty good starting sample, even if we don’t quite have enough data to cover everyone.Īlright, so with that out of the way, let’s dig into the results and… oh dear. That gives us a sample of 747 games, with a mix of 3-, 4-, and 5-round events in the mix, including one at Warhammer World run by Games Workshop.
Since the new Kill Team launched, there have been 12 Kill Team events run with 8 or more players, run in the US, Great Britain, and Spain (Kill Team is surprisingly popular in Spain – most of the tournaments run over the last month have been held there). Our data here comes from Best Coast Pairings, the premier tournament app for Warhammer. And these results are fairly surprising and what you might call “not great.”īefore we dive in, we should talk about where this data comes from. Well today we’re extending that work to Kill Team, looking at early tournament results for the game and seeing how things stack up. We’ve done a lot of analysis of the 40k and Age of Sigmar metas over the last few months, looking at faction win rates and identifying which lists are doing well in the meta.
