Talons of the Emperor are also pretty restricted, which makes sense for only have Custodes and Sisters of Silence, but at least a Sisters of Silence Fire Team gives you some wiggle room with taking a mix of flamers, bolters, and swords. You also get two fire teams, so you can take 2 Custodes and 5 Sisters, which at least is some variety in terms of what models are on the table.
From here the Compendium swoops in to accommodate players who do not wish to field Ork Kommandos or Kriegsmen. It allows you to field many other fire teams, be they Primaris Reivers to Necron Warriors to Genestealer Cults and everything inbetween. This will be essential to anyone wishing to play Kill Team with models not included in the Octarius box.
Compendium lists. I know eventually everyone will have their own list in due time. (who knows how long that is going to take). I am going through the process of building multiple teams right now. Just for the sake of variety. I think I really prefer simplistic lists at the moment as my knowledge on the game and how to play is limited. I haven't even played a game yet. (soon) That being said I don't know that I'll build any of these compendium lists. I know some of them can be good but I don't really see the point in that I am just waiting for the real list. I was tempted to make something like grey knights and custodes (fewer models) but I think I'll hold off. How does everyone else feel about compendium lists?
(I think most of my teams, built for KT18, are largely invalidated for the newer version and would need a near total rebuild... which is pretty annoying... which is why I'm determined that anything I build from now on will have more flexibility in use?)
I guess I wouldn't need to paint loads extra to make a usable team, but it just feels like going backwards somehow? Maybe when Nids get a non-Compendium team, there will be more options and I'll work something out...
Compedium teams are mostly fine if you play them against each other, much like 8th ed. 40k indexes. Their lack of options make them better for learning to play the game as they require way less mental cognitive load. They're also ok for casual games or even as NPC mobs using solo/AI/opfor rules.
Compendium lists are great starter kill teams. They have smaller rules to remember when compared to bespoke teams. They are easier to play in beginning. I think building a custodes or grey knights is good idea. It is cost only one box to make a team.
The individual warzone books, in addition to two teams each, have additional missions and some rules specific to that warzone. So they're a decent little supplement for games with friends to add variety, though you may need to get a bit creative with scenery given the maps tend to use the terrain parts that originally came in the box. I think the new Into the Dark box spacehulk terrain is going to see a lot of play, providing a much more closed up experience and different teams will be stronger than on more open maps.
As for mini selection, having a few extra minis for each team to allow for the options and potential changes in the future doesn't usually add much cost.But that is subjective upon the wallet of the player ofc.
Both the Grey Knights and the regular Sororitas are from the Compendium and it's like, aside from the mental load issue (absolute agreement here, great term btw), there's a reliability issue, when everyone has good weapons and decent armour, you don't rely on just 1 particular character. I was thinking of the Krieg Veteran Guardsmen Kill Team, where most of the Wounds came from that one Sniper guy, then I imagine something like Into the Dark. Aside from being more melee-oriented, it's not like that Veteran Sniper guy is going to shoot through walls, but I can see those 10 power armoured sisters Falling Back to give her teammates a clear shot being a real hassle. It's just stuff like that.

Treating Seed for Disease Control
Spring, of course, is the time for planting. Many diseases of vegetables, caused by fungi bacteria or viruses, are carried in or on the seed. Disinfecting or treating seed to kill or suppress these organisms is important in controlling many vegetable diseases. One of the most common seed disinfecting methods is to soak seed in hot water (typically at temperatures around 120F) for up to 20 minutes. However, this method needs to be tested in advance to make sure that it does not affect seed germination as vegetables, and even cultivars of the same species, differ in their sensitivity to injury by hot water treatments. Chemicals applied on the seed surface can also help protect seed and the developing seedling from decay or damping-off problems. In most cases, these materials are fungicidal in nature and help control diseases caused by plant pathogenic fungi. New biological seed treatments are also coming on the market for this purpose (see below). The PNW Plant Disease Management Handbook published by OSU, WSU and UI, gives the following instructions for treating seed:
Damping-off fungi are common soil-borne pathogens of many different vegetable seedlings and cause symptoms just prior to, or after, seedlings emerge from the soil. Decay or death of seeds or seedlings at the time of germination in soil, or sudden wilting, toppling over and rotting at the stem base of young seedlings that have emerged from soil, are the most common symptoms. Wet soil, high humidity, and cloudy days favor damping-off. In green-houses and seedbeds, damping-off fungi can be eradicated effectively from planting media by sterilization (e.g., steam, pasteurization, or fumigation). Use new flats or pots for planting, and disinfect old containers before using them again. When symptoms of damping-off first develop, allow the planting medium to dry out a little and provide as much air circulation and light penetration as possible. Many seed treatments are available for control of damping-off fungi. The specific fungicides registered will depend on the particular vegetable commodity. Commonly-used seed treatments include captan (broad-spectrum protectant fungicide), fludioxonil (e.g., Maxim, for pathogenic Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, and Alternaria spp.), thiram (broad-spectrum protectant fungicide), and metalaxyl or mefenoxam (e.g., Ridomil or Ridomil Gold for water molds such as Pythium and Phytophthora spp.). Copper drenches (e.g., C-O-C-S and tribasic copper sulfates) can be applied to many kinds of vegetables for control of post-emergent damping-off, but be aware of potential phytotoxicity problems with some vegetables. An increasing number of biological fungicides/bactericides are becoming available as seed treatments or for foliar applications. Refer to pp. 388-391 of the "2002 PNW Disease Management Handbook" for a relatively extensive list of biofungicides and plant activators, some of which are registered for use as seed treatments.

From fine works of art to the stuff of daily life, objects tell many stories. They bring memories and meanings to life, and bridge connections between the present and past. In Every Thing Has a Story, the park's curatorial team explores the life of objects in our museum collection--from their designers and makers to their purpose and meaning, and what we do behind the scenes to preserve their stories.
BACKGROUND: Genetic alterations of somatic cells can drive non-malignant clone formation and promote cancer initiation. However, the link between these processes remains unclear and hampers our understanding of tissue homeostasis and cancer development. RESULTS: Here, we collect a literature-based repertoire of 3355 well-known or predicted drivers of cancer and non-cancer somatic evolution in 122 cancer types and 12 non-cancer tissues. Mapping the alterations of these genes in 7953 pan-cancer samples reveals that, despite the large size, the known compendium of drivers is still incomplete and biased towards frequently occurring coding mutations. High overlap exists between drivers of cancer and non-cancer somatic evolution, although significant differences emerge in their recurrence. We confirm and expand the unique properties of drivers and identify a core of evolutionarily conserved and essential genes whose germline variation is strongly counter-selected. Somatic alteration in even one of these genes is sufficient to drive clonal expansion but not malignant transformation. CONCLUSIONS: Our study offers a comprehensive overview of our current understanding of the genetic events initiating clone expansion and cancer revealing significant gaps and biases that still need to be addressed. The compendium of cancer and non-cancer somatic drivers, their literature support, and properties are accessible in the Network of Cancer Genes and Healthy Drivers resource at -cancer-genes.org/ .
