It bothers me that squads lose their buffs in KT. I understand that it is a fundamentally different game than standard; but, the upgrades for the KT lists cost just as much.
I wish that I could enact a fiat to alter the movement phase thusly: Models join and leave units as independent characters. That one elegant little change brings FnP back to Nobs, Marks of Chaos CSM, and it brings back the Shadowseer in to the fold for my Harlies, it would let Swooping Hawks and Psyker Battle Squads do their thing, and it would allow an open field for wound allocation shenanigans (not sure that last is a good thing.)
It also brings realistic vehicle tactics back in to a 200 point game. Again, it would change the dynamic a lot if you had to account for popping vehicles; and I know, it's a different game suddenly when you can hide power fists again.
Also, perhaps something that would account for the purchase price of Fearless and Stubborn units would be nice... Again, game changing, but instead of a Ld test with a cumulative penalty, I would like to see each unit of the kill team simply have begin taking morale tests once the model count is below 50%. Stubborn would have an advantage here... being able to ignore the cumulative penalty. And Fearless would simply ignore the failed morale.
But who am I to screw with the rules?
So, follow up question: For the purpose for determining group abilities in Kill Team is a squad or a mob or a band the same thing as a unit? Semantics? You betcha! But, what isn't in this game?
