You can only have one Surveyor and one Diktat operative per team. If you take four Sicarians, you can have only two Skitarii gunners if you have three Sicarians or fewer you can take three Skitarii Gunners. You have to have more Skitarii than Sicarians, which effectively limits you to a max of 4 Sicarians on your team. This new team gives us a much more fleshed-out Mechanicus team in the same way that Veteran Guardsmen are a more fleshed-out version of the Imperial Guard kill team in the Compendium.

You give up at least one gunner and one model in all of the Skitarii kill teams you field, and can’t take a purely Sicarian team, but to me, it’s absolutely worth it. AdMech have been rebalanced here, gaining additional specialists with equipment that you had to pay for in the Compendium, more ploys, better equipment and some units – like Vanguard Skitarii – significantly reworked to improve them. So are Hunter Clades any good? The AdMech in the Compendium aren’t terrible (but aren’t super good either) so we’re going to find out if White Dwarf articles are handing out buffs and rebalances to factions in the Compendium.

I doubt White Dwarf will continue to give a third of its page count to Kill Team in future issues but it’s a strong first month of White Dwarf support. Kill Team is back, baby! White Dwarf 468 has almost 50 pages of Kill Team content, including an 18-page starter set Krieg vs Orks battle report, 4 pages of designer’s notes, ten pages of background on the Adeptus Mechanicus – including a 4 page fiction piece – and 14 pages on Hunter Clades.
