I’m talking mostly about the new angel of death rule giving +1 attack, but the new 2 damage stalker bolt rifle would be sweet as well. Would really give the Astartes a boost!

I think they're doing it in 40k because Astartes aren't doing great, so they're buffing them. In KT they're doing just fine, so there's no need to change up their rules.
Honestly, I think they need an errata for several factions, followed by a new book that merges the rules and rosters from elites/core/commanders while standardizing the point value and scenarios.
the whole roster/team 100/125 thing is getting pretty hairy.
Grey knights are still overcosted, Paladins are particularly confusing, they need either statline buffs or cost nerfs.
Custodes should probably be tweaked down to 31/62 points so they can bring 4 dudes @ 125.
The original commanders are all over the place, while the new ones in elites don't look as bad.
Agreed. Also, sounds like shadowspear will be getting multi pose kits which could mean deathwatch rules for them, which means they should then be allowed on DW kill teams, so an update for that would be nice.
Meanwhile on the heretic side of things.... Cries uncontrollably.
It would be interesting. I already thought space marines (specifically salamanders) with elites was a pretty good faction to begin with. Death denied and the free rerolls is just really good.
If they could change Raven Guard chapter tactics, it'll be nice.
Raven Guard is actually kinda crap in KT.
Probably not, they didn't receive the bolter changes and as GK player I would be a little agitated considering we didn't get our point reduction.
