For Plant Beacons you're probably only giving up 3 units to drop the beacons in enemy territory. If you're dying while planting beacons in your own territory you've got other problems.
The offended Storm Objective's fan here. Of course you don't take it to storm the middle point - you take it to storm the enemy's home point, wipe them out, and just sit there, scoring 2VPs!
I'll need some time to watch the video fully, but I would say that I mostly agree, with a side note that some rankings are very team and map dependent. For example, on some map setups with Kommandos I have a guaranteed 6 points from surveilance using the grot, which would make it S/A tier for Kommandos specifically imho.
This is SO GOOD and informative. I have a game tomorrow and I was looking forward for a guide like this. Thank you so much. I was wondering whether you could also do an explanatory idiot guide to Crit Ops, since sometimes it is difficult to get the difference among some of them. Many thanks!
ah, Surveillance - my second game ever, first against mandrakes. I took contain, he took surveillance - he maxed out his VP and took mine down to zero with one move with no counterplay. fun fun fun
Surveillance is super good with the Kommando Grot, who can just score 6 points with it and do nothing else, without sacrificing a real operative. But I agree it's generally very narrow and only really specific teams on specific killzones want it.
Been playing mostly Mandrakes, surveillance isn't always best/easiest with certain set ups. Pick up items can be an S tier for them- It's only 3AP to score 6VP, easy to shadow passage to the items (you pick where to place the tricky one that goes in their territory)
Honestly dont get the amazing love for Confirmed Kill. Its good, probably A tier for sure, but feel its situational enough theres an arguement for B. If youre playing a shooting team like Kasrkin youre going to end up with a lot of tokens across the board from you and out of reach unless you wander into charge range. Even low wound count teams with good mobility that arent pure shooting like elf teams are going to not want to necessarily end activations out in the open. HotA and VS love to stick and move and not end up in the open relying on their 4+ save and 8 wounds
Surveillance easy to block? I don't think so, it's probably the most mindless of tac ops when you outactivate your opponent. On the last activation of your turn - go with an operative, surveil, there's your 3Vps. Do it 3 times. Full score. For operatives like Mandrakes or Kommando Grot it's even easier. Having done this several times already, I actually dislike how dumb it is.
For sure! As mentioned, it matters who you're playing as and against. Horde team into elites. Infiltration is a great option. Most beginners will probably be on elite teams and will end up very confused how they're supposed to be doing these tacops :)
I feel like you overrated Overrun. It is very easily countered by an opponent deciding to be more aggressive. Once they cross midfield with a unit you can't get any points by killing it except for Kill Op

I love watching videos on the Number One Kill Team Channel™ on the internet. Thanks for your videos.
best channel🫡
me too
I think you missed, on storm objectives, you can always score it on the objective marker on your opponents half of the field.
Yes can make for quite a good shock assault style play
For Plant Beacons you're probably only giving up 3 units to drop the beacons in enemy territory. If you're dying while planting beacons in your own territory you've got other problems.
With the Void Dancers, Plant Beacon is easy. Such a solid tac op.
I love the beginner Kill Team content. I’m just starting, and some intro help makes it easier to just dive in and have fun.
This is the stuff KT needs. More discourse and thoughts on the various strategic parts of the game.
Storm Objectives is easy: You only need to control the enemy objective, thats it. No enemy agency here

Love this video, I struggle to find a good tac op in 3rd ed and listening to some other perspectives is super useful!
Thanks for the video, currently on a training month before a turney, and Im still quite new to the game, good to hear the ops explained.

This is great content. As a new player it's awesome

But I agree it's generally very narrow and only really specific teams on specific killzones want it.
Surveillance with Mandrakes on an open map like Volkus is almost always a guaranteed 9 vps if you select Tac op as your primary
Same with groot from kommandos I think. He can "teleport" there.
Everything is better in a tier list.
Ranking Tacops is definitely not great in a tier list as they're SO matchup dependant... but people love a list!
As a beginner Scout player I will be definitely running Confirm Kill this weekend!

Vespids can't plant beacon if they've flown, neither can anyone who teleports, or drops in like Aquilons
@@TheSotai in the activation they've been placed, yes!
Can still do it in a counteract or next turn, indeed
contain with AoD on most maps is great... my win rate went up once i changed to that... 🗡️
Where can I see a good picture of that Reiver sergeant/Tau conversion?

Isn't implant a way to win against hard to kill team?
Like let's say the new Novitiates
goat is back!
Didn't think you'd show your face here after the embarrassment on that one livestream

Hi Andy! Awesome content as always. Please check your emails if you can! :D
