Kasrkin return to elite status as January Kill Team balance shakes up the field
The January Kill Team Balance Update boosts Kasrkin with a new Rapid Fire rule (shoot twice with lasguns/laspists/bolt pistols), unrestricted Severe from Light ‘Em Up, and the Sergeant’s Veteran Leadership allowing two Skill At Arms active per turning point (potentially three with the sergeant’s action). Other factions are nerfed or rebalanced: Battleclade’s Noospheric Network gains reliability via relaxed timing/movement restrictions and a new Datacoronal Accumulator; Canoptek Circle’s Obelisk Node Matrix now provides only Accurate 1; Macrocyte Warriors’ stats are toned down; Deathwatch receives adjustments to reduce stacking and tweak Special Issue Ammunition and Piercing 1. Tac Ops like Flank and Retrieval are weakened, and a Breach-focused change introduces the Breaching Charge (1 less AP to breach, and breaches restrict low-AP charges/shoots). The update is downloadable from Warhammer Community.
