Vox Scream

We wrap up 2024 with a word from our local community  - what's on their Grotmas list? and what sort of New year's resolutions do they have for Kill Team in 2025?

What's your style? This week we try to figure out what are the big playstyles in Kill Team and what are some teams that fit the mold? Afterwards we talk a bit about two of our favorite things - Orks and Gnomes

Is playing Kill Team similar to playing a competitive fighting game? George seems to think so. This week the Vox Scream team tackles this analogy in hopes of improving competitive play. We talk about footsies, neutral game, dexterity, combos, and how we can apply these frameworks to a regular game of Kill Team. With any luck, you can take this episode right to your favorite FLGS and corner combo your enemies into oblivion!

Are we in a meta crisis? Some seem to think so, but maybe it's not so bad. The guys chat about the current meta and whose at the top through the lens of the recent World Championship. 

View the tier list here. This week we take stock of the best and worst teams leading up to this weekend's world championship in Atlanta. Where did Kroot end up? What about Wyrmblade? Whose at the top of A? Tune in for all these answers and more!

Back after a brief sick day the fellas talk about what makes elite teams so good and who is the cream of the crop. We even touch on Plague Marines after our first few games with and against them. Plus, we recap our latest monthly tournament.

Chaos will outlive you and dance on your ashes. While we're still here, we try to pick the top 3 Chaos teams in KT24. Are Warpcoven really that good? Do Gellerpox need a buff? We ask these questions and more while also learning who likes spikes the most.

We delve a bit into the results of the New York Open and chat some about another week of league games. It's a great time for Kill Team and we're loving every minute of it.

This week we try to pick the top 3 Xenos teams in KT24. There are currently 9 Xenos teams and we have over 9,000 questions about them. Are short kings on the rise? Can Kommandos Still Hang? All these answers and more will be yours!

We talk a bit about our first games in our Q4 league, and we're looking forward to doing more game recaps soon!

We seek to answer a simple question - Who are the top 3 Aeldari teams right now and why? We also talk about our KT24 thoughts after a solid weekend of play.

This week we take a close look at some of the new rules for the Imperium's finest. 
Mark walks us through Death Korp - Is In Death Atonement still good?
George takes us through Exaction - What's up with the Webber?
Joe shows us what's what with Kasrkin - Will we miss elite points?

KT24 is practically here! Mark French joins the pod to talk about a 3rd Edition game he and George played this past week. Come and hear their initial impressions about scoring, equipment, and Aquilons. We  look towards the future with some "too early" predictions, then look at the past as we review some of the final stats from our league.

The lads go over the new Crit Op missions. Which ones look like fun, and which look like a mess? We go on to talk about the new Tac Ops. With only 12 total choices which ones will be easiest to score?

Lastly, we quickly recap some local tournaments, including a podium for Joe and a Best Painted award for George.

If you haven't heard our last episode where we dig into the faction teasers go give it a listen. We get into some very spirited discussion on what thing might look like based on the teasers.

This week's solo episode is a quick check-in to deliver some news on upcoming NC tournaments. Were hoping for a return to normalcy next week with a full-length episode releasing on Wednesday.

Joe, George, and Mark go over the faction teasers that trickled out this week. We try to parse out some of the larger design trends from these teasers to gain a better idea of what we can expect in the new edition. We geek out over the elite buffs, fast af Aeldari, and everything in between.

Come for the speculation and ranting, stay for the KT24 hype!

Our weekly episode is delayed - In the meantime, Mark takes some time to chat with folks at the Atomic Empire Kill Team League night. Listen in as Mark French, Mitch Jackson, and Eddie Laczynski share some early reactions to this weeks faction reveals and the Classified system. 

Stay tuned later this week for a full episode as Joe, George, and Mark react to all the faction teasers from this week.

Travis from Just Another Kill Team Podcast joins us live from Nova to recap our tournament runs and review some of the changes highlighted in the Approved Ops Showcase. What did we learn from the first face-off between the Vespids and the Aquilons? Will obscuring ever be the same? Will elites finally be good? We tackle these questions and more while also chatting about some of our games and what were our big take-aways from 3 days of non-stop Kill Team.

In our last episode Mark French joined us to talk about stats and the local meta... but all is not as it seems! We recorded for about 20 minutes prior to multiple levels of technical difficulties, which led us to recording the episode you heard in a local podcast studio. BUT THE LOST SESSIONS HAVE BEEN RECOVERED FROM THE FLOWS OF THE WARP!

Please enjoy the recovered audio from our initial recording, lightly edited to cut some of the redundancies from the full episode. And stay tuned for our next episode, where we geek out about the 3rd edition reveal!

Today we welcome our first guest! Mark French runs our local Kill Team league at Atomic Empire, and he's compiled extensive stats from over 2.5 years of league games. We break down some stats as a way to look at the local meta, but also get under the hood of some stats for larger trends (including what may be the first ever statistical analysis of elites vs hordes vs elves vs midrange teams).

We also have another week of league games to recap:
MISSION - LOOT / GAME TYPE - OPEN / MAP - #4 STRAIGHT

Mark French- Legionnaire v Novitiates
