This, coupled with the update to the Death Denied Tactic has made marines much, much better, and likely top tier in the hands of an experienced player. The Elites supplement gave marines a shot in the arm with a large number of new units and commanders added and made both all Primaris Kill Teams and Veteran teams more practical (and streamlining their confusing datasheets). This is combined with the changes to Ultra Close Confines rules in Pariah Nexus which heavily benefit small model count teams and prevent some of the tactics involving door blocking and corridor blocking (the Hodor style of play) shutting down small and elite kill teams.

A lot of players have stuck with them in Kill Team despite them being mediocre in original Kill Team and struggling a lot in Arena. They are the most common entry point into the hobby. Space Marines are the most popular army in 40k. In today’s article I’ll talk about using building, playing, and going up against Space Marines competitively in Kill Team. We’ve put it off for long enough with our discussions of Eldar and Chaos Space Marines and Custodes and Imperial Guard. They’ve been showing up as models for 30 years, they’ve had good video games, dozens of books and they’re even sneaking into fantasy as Sigmarines.

There’s a lot to talk about, so let’s dive in.Ĭobalt Scions Intercessors. So it was time to completely rewrite everything.
