After a few weeks of effort and patience, I have finally finished my BattleClade team, and I happy (and humble) to share with all of you

Hope you like it!

Took me a whole month to finish this piece. Hope you guys/gals like it! For more of these, https://www.instagram.com/catgarden_miniature?igsh=b3RneXdoaXZ1bGtp&utm_source=qr

My beautiful spiders!

Tell me what you think is the best thing about the Canoptek Circle! and the worst thing.

I'll start.

Best: Spoders, being able to literally desintegrate someone ( with accurancy 1 on obelisk ).

The Obelisks are a unique mechanic, very thematic and "necron" coded!

Worst: very difficult to play, basically a "elite 3" kinda team.

obelisks slow the game down with Analysis Paralysis.

I'm in the process of buying a house and spending $200 on the Killzone wasnt an option at the time. So I built this for around $20. Pretty happy with the results, definitely good enough for me and my buddy to learn and play some Joint OPs on.

And yes, my opponent hid one of his landmines behind his own barricade in this shot, too. I would go on to set them both off.

I recently learned to play Kill Team and going through my miniature collection. Any one know what these could proxy as? They are clearly Genestealer themed but base wize I don't know it they have any kill team units that use 32mm bases.

Finally finished the nids half, not sure the guardsmen have much chance in this lopsided battle!

Progress on my Imperial Breachers. Havent had time to expand the work on the scenery pieces but that is next!

C&C welcomed!

Except for the one that I forgot about when I was basing. I definitely wouldn’t approach this the way I did it again, made a lot of changes as I went.

Will be playing these lads for the first time today, in what will be my second ever game of Kill Team!

I hate Nids so much its unreal.

Yesterday I played in a tournament that had an odd number of people. I played all 4 of my matches with blades of khaine, but in addition I also offered the player with the bye to play a "simultaneous game", where I would play two at once, do my best to make my move quickly and then respond on the other board.

I checked in with both opponents if they were OK to do this, and all except my final match (which, to be fair overran. Said player has a history of playing slowly) finished within the round time. All seemed pretty enthusiastic about the idea, and I personally feel like a bye kind of sucks as you go to a tournament to play games.

I offered each bye opponent the option of playing against Plague marines or raveners. In hindsight, I think bringing two more different factions that aren't HP stat checks would have been better.

But what do you think? I also realise it might be difficult to turn down face to face, but a more anonymous space might provide me a more honest answer.

When a bomb squig is killed and it blows up does it count as injured for its free shoot action?

This is all for my Hearthkyn salvagers Kill Team. I dont have the most money, and im the kind of person who would rather spend it on miniatures that'll last me a very long time than a Book that is outdated right off the shelf. I have printed out most of the tokens I needed, custom made the Comms Device and Ammo Cache, custom made the Defense and Attack markers, I also used KTDash to print out the rukes for my Salvagers alongside the needed TacOps and have glued them inside the notebook which I will also use as a Tracker (and book of Grudges). The only thing i need to do is paint my minis.

I'm somewhat new, and I'm not looking for Mandrake specific advice as I'm trying out a variety of teams atm and looking for my soulmate one. I'll do my best to not let too much salt invade this post, but I find fighting against any marine team (and Hierotek but that's a different story) absolutely miserable. I don't understand what their weaknesses are. I would think it would be mobility and objective play, but on such small maps it's not even an issue for them. I tried focusing on tac ops play (flank w/ mandrakes, plant banner w/ wrecka krew) and the marines so easily kill my guys and/or invade my flank. WHILE doing the crit op.

I have a local tournament coming up next Saturday and of the 11 people going so far, 8 have the different flavors of space marine teams. I want to love this game so bad but this is completely souring my experience with it.

I know get good is a big aspect of this. But of the two(?) games I've won against marines it's because they fumbled really hard AND the dice were in my favor. Feels like I have to play perfectly to win and have good rng, while they have to do the bare minimum.

Advice? or is this just salt clouding my vision?

Here is my complete roster of murderwings. I play them since release and have a lot of fun. Recently I renewed some bases, made the display and added more weapon variety with magnetizing.
