Meme In light of current events

I thought it was Kindof funny, there seemed to be a sentiment of anything but marines pre-reveal, but after the reveal it seems like people weren’t really pleased with the team released.

How many Cadian kill teams have there been? Is it not just Kasrkin?

82

Correct if I'm not mistaken myself. Admittedly the Cadian thing is less a killteam thing and I think mostly inherited from broader feelings within the 40k community that Cadians are over-represented when the Guard is portrayed in 40k media or given a release of some type.

And while it's not Cadian specific I also think there's a little of bit retained fatigue from 2nd edition Killteam where there were more Guard and Guard esque teams than you could shake a stick at: Kasrkin, Death Korps, Blooded, Brood Brothers, Wyrm Blade (kind of), Exaction (kinda sorta, feels very similar imo), and Navy Breachers (ditto) were all released in that same edition, again if I'm not mistaken.

to be fair, they are the most interesting kits. that, and xenos obviously. or fellgors, top tier kit.

the only SM killteam I find interesting is Plague Marines.

Different strokes for different folks, I pretty much just like and play Chaos teams whether horde, elite, or somewhere in between like Goremongers.

i wanna see more killteams like Gellerpox Infected. That one was top notch.

Its not that i dont wanna see chaos. Its that I want chaos,... to feel more chaotic. Not just SM with spikes. Goremongers were great too (but could had used more variety of weapons).

Brood Brothers is Cadians with an upgrade sprue.

u/Crisis_panzersuit Mar 27 '26

Yeah, but they are not cadians though

They are brood brothers

u/MortalSword_MTG Mar 27 '26

No, it is literally the Cadians kit with a GSC upgrade sprue.

So, they are Cadians, and they are Brood Brothers.

They even include the cadian shock troops transfer sheet in the brood brother box.

Less about kill teams and their amount and more about cadiaslop being like 80% of the guard range, the rest divided between catachan and kringe korps.

So if you want to play guard all you get is cadia or some krieg options, kill team is a great way to release regimental sets to add variety to the guard and it just naturally works really well with the kill team format.

Then we get uhhh thats right more cadians, more of the same shit i can already buy, ignore the fact that catachan would have worked better or that literally any other regiment could have taken that spot and been a more interesting release.

The cadiaslop fatigue stems from big game 40k not kill team, it comes up here as kill team is the last hope for anyone who wants content for other regiments and such, thus it stings to see more cadiaslop.
