Valerius Kraus Dismantles New 40k Kill Teams Released This Week? The Math Doesn't Lie!

Valerius Kraus Dismantles New 40k Kill Teams Released This Week? The Math Doesn't Lie!


⚠️ WARNING: BEFORE YOU PRE-ORDER SHADOWHUNT... READ THE MATH.

The January 2026 release of Kill Team: Shadowhunt has arrived with incredible models and a massive marketing campaign promising "Elite Killers" and "Anti-Psyker" hard counters. But does the Munitorum Field Manual agree with the hype?

In this forensic competitive audit, we strip away the marketing fluff to reveal the mathematical reality of the new Chaos Raptors, Celestian Incidians, and the controversial T'au Stealth Suit nerfs. We aren't guessing—we are cross-referencing official points costs against verified tournament winning lists to tell you exactly what is a "Must Buy" and what is a "Competitive Trap."

👇 THE TRUTH ABOUT THE RELEASE 👇 If you are tired of buying "cool units" that get tabled in Turn 2, this video is your financial shield. We explain the "Kill Team Tax"—the premium you are paying for rules that don't translate to 40k efficiency—and why the new Chaos Raptors (at 110pts) are statistically inferior to Warp Talons in almost every competitive metric.

In this video, we verify:

✅ The "Murderwing" Myth: Why the new Raptor loadouts fail the efficiency test.

✅ The T'au "Tax": Why you have to buy Stealth Suits even though they lost "Fall Back & Shoot."

✅ The Silver Bullet Problem: Why Celestian Incidians are dead weight in a Take-All-Comers list.

✅ Wolf Scout Luxury: Are the "Hunting Wolf" rules worth the points hike?
