In any unclear situation, take Kairos

I just played against Tau Empire yesterday... And I understood, that if I want to play with the Screamer Death Star, I must include Kairos in my list.

Princes tried to survive as long as they could... And the boing was annihilated, when I failed the Grimoire roll.

So, the new variant... With Kairos.
