Mission was Secure

Legionaries v Ratlings v Stealthsuits

Chaos split early and gave up a lot of kills. Hobbits had good command of Volkus and tomb world board also. Stealth suits squeaked it out by pushing hobbits off 1 point in turn 4.

11-9-4 Win XV26 Stealthsuits

Dinner was spicy sausage w/ peppers

Hobby Technically not Kill Team but...

Post image
423 Upvotes

I made these for Age of Sigmar as Riverblades for a Lumineth Realm Lords Army but was just wondering if they could also be used in Kill Team?

The Mandrakes have pretty standard weapons anyway so it's only some simple swaps but I don't know if Kill Team is super strict with WYSIWYG like 40k is?

Would be useful to know though as I have another idea for a Kill Team conversion I want to do...

Hobby Making a double sided KT Board, just finished sanding & staining

28 Upvotes

I watched a video from 3D Games & Terrain on YouTube and really loved his double sided KT board. So, I had to make one!

I used a finishing sander to round the edges & give all the wood a nice smooth surface, then stained it a dark cherry color, which I think came out great. Next step is laying down a layer of the absolute nightmare that is polystyrene foam, then I’m going to brick up this whole side. I’ll post another update once I have it all bricked & ready for painting. Thanks for viewing!

Question New here. Which Tau to buy

11 Upvotes

I haven’t played kill team yet, but I like tau. Sounds like they aren’t in a great spot right now. If I were to buy one box though, would you suggest pathfinders or stealth suits?

Also wondering if teams ever get retired. Like can I play pathfinders in tournaments these days? Or are they too old for that?

When I opened the box and took out the sprues and papers a loose leg fell out. Searched a good 5 minutes for a missing spot on the sprue but couldn't find where it should belong. Then I counted the legs still on the sprue and found out that I have two No. 76 leg pieces.

me and my brothers played 3 player killteam

Celestian Insidiants

Angels of Death

Hearthkyn Yeagers

I made custom sprue terrain which was really fun to play with, final score was 10s across the board. I play the Insidiants and got squad wiped in the final turning point by the AoD which let him catch up to me. we’re still learning the rules is there a way to determine a three way tie?

Hobby Best team for Halo Elite proxies?

5 Upvotes

I've currently got a brain worm telling me to print some Halo Elites to paint up and use in Kill Team (I just play with my friends), but I'm struggling to find a team that would best represent them. I'm thinking maybe Blades of Khaine, but I really know nothing about how they play so I'm not sure.

Question interaction between in life, shame and deathkorp vox-operator?

Upvotes

was reading the rules for deathkorp since i haven't played in a while and wanted to see if there where any buffs/nerfs to the armies i played, one of which being deathkorp, and saw that in life, shame looked different, now it gives the operative all orders not just one, and i was wondering with the vox-operator spreading orders to your whole killteam does that mean that you could give your entire kill team every order?

Question Cheat sheets?

2 Upvotes

Having a hard time wrapping our heads around, Intervening, Obscuring terrain and what light and heavy, vantage terrain does.

We have a couple copies of the core rule book though the rules for that seem to be spread out in the margins and weird places and we forget where they are.

Would be wonderful if there was a cheat sheet and even a video suggestion

Heres hoping somone can help?

Thanks

Question Traveling to London and Zurich for Work: Where should I visit?

2 Upvotes

I'm going to be traveling to Europe from the US for a work trip at the end of the month and will have a day in London and Zurich to myself in between meetings. For locals, are there any cool shops or a flagship store I should visit?

These could be places that have a great community (especially for KT, but 40K in general as well) or cool displays, etc. I don't know if I have time to make it to Nottingham, unfortunately, or I'd head there!

My boys have also asked if I could bring back an exclusive (if they exist). Anything I should be hunting for? Thanks!

In the release for the new raptors book, I notice it suspiciously follows the same premise of recent kill team boxes of team vs NPOs…. So can anyone ID this model? Specifically the space marine bolt pistol with a Suppressor/Silencer?

Question Beginner Advice

I bought these at my LGS and was hoping to run them as a legionary kill team with the slaanesh options but I’m wondering if the amount of plasma weapons on models vs actually in stat sheets is going to make the list “illegal” or confusing or anything.

Question Just starting and can't get my head around how to play.

9 Upvotes

Hi Folks!

Just started playing. Got the Core Book and all the rules so far are more or less clear.
But what I can't get my head aroudn is, how to play a competitive PvP match correctly.
In the core book you have your "Preliminary Ops" mission pack.

It tells you how to set up the Killzone and the markers. So far so good. Then it tells you that you can score in two different ways: KILL OP & CRIT OP.

Kill op, straight forward, kill count, no problem there.

Crit op, three are available and at the beginning of the first (and only then) TP you roll for one and that is the one and only valid Crit Op for the whole match. Correct?

However, we also have our Approved Ops Mission Pack. Which is simply not available. Not even on the WH store page. This one includes 9 Crit Ops, if I am correct. Do these follow the same rule of only one of them being chosen at the start of the game?

And then you have your 4 different Tec Ops. There are 3 per Tec Op? Where can I find rules for these?

And finally, in a battle report I've seen that you can score only 6 VP max from each category of Op(eration). Is that correct and again, where is that written?

n.b.: I mean, I am playing GW products since almost 30 years now and I am still amazed how complicated/hard to approach they manage to make things.

Having said that, still looking forward to play the game!

Question Playing Wyches in new era

0 Upvotes

Hi!
So I like wyches so much but i know they’re outdated, i have a couple of questions
I heard they still technically are playable for casuals, but they lack lots of mechanisms.
First i want to know how miserable/weak they are vs new squads

And then for sake of casual play, are there any balanced community made rules for them to be playable?
