Ep. 178 | Table Top Hot Takes | Is the Community Too Negative?

from The Squad-Games Podcast · host Dakotah

On today’s episode of the Squad Games Podcast, we are joined by Shane from Command Point for another Warhammer 40k Kill Team Hot Takes call-in show. We talk through the newest balance dataslate, whether Hierotek Circle is back, if climbing is actually fixed, and how the latest Tac Op changes affect the meta. The community calls in with takes on GW map design, Octarius vs. Volkus, Tau teams not being able to shoot twice, Exaction Squad being underrated, day-one patches, rosters, heavy weapons, and more. We also get into a bigger conversation about the state of the Kill Team community, whether the game is in a better place than people give it credit for, and why negativity around competitive play can sometimes drown out the fun. Join the Squad Games Discord to submit your own hot takes and be part of a future live call-in episode. Scorpion 3+save Shirts! Baby Shower Registry Try Out Squad Ops!
