Warhammer 40k Kill Team just got one of its biggest balance updates yet, and we are breaking down what actually matters. On this episode of the Squad Games Podcast, Dakota is joined by David to talk through the newest Kill Team balance dataslate, including the massive Approved Ops changes, the long-awaited climbing clarification, and what these updates mean for the current meta. We dig into whether Games Workshop finally fixed climbing, why Seek and Destroy teams may be much better now, and how these changes could reshape competitive Kill Team. We also cover major team updates, including Striking Scorpions getting their 3+ save, big Battleclade buffs, Blooded changes, Canoptek Circle nerfs, Death Korps improvements, Hearthkyn Salvagers, Hierotek Circle, Warp Coven, Wolf Scouts, and more.
