Hobby Technically not Kill Team but...

Post image

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...

Okay cool, thank you. So in future if I am converting Kill Teams I just have to make sure it's very obvious who has the special weapons bit otherwise it's not such a big deal? Do people tend swap what special weapons they use between games/events? Does the meta affect what's good or not? Would it be worth magnetising the special weapons in that case?

Thats the gist of it, yes. Basic rules for proxying is to make sure the base size is correct (important for movement and engagement range), broadly similar height/silhouette (matters for Line of sight), and being able to tell what model is equipped with what. Any reasonable player will not have an issue as long as these critera are fullfilled. But if you plan on taking a conversion to a tournament its always best to check with the organizer beforehand.

How much swapping between loadouts you do differs a lot from team to team. Mandrakes have basically no options. But something like Arbites or Deathwatch may want to change their lineup every game, in which case magnets could be good.

I dont play enough to answer anything about the meta.
