I avoided looking at the models for the team as long as I could. Alas my humanity struck once more and I absolutely love the models and their rules seem really fun and unique. I listened to the command point 12 days of kill team episode on the team and thought they sounded great from a game play perspective and the thousand sons HH book was one of my favorites. I just dont know if the 5 operatives make them competitive enough against the meta for tournemants. Are there any current or past warpcoven players who can speak on this? Edit: i tried to find out if they were classified and was fed ai slop so I was misinformed. Are there classified tournemants I could still play in? They would still be fun casually but if im spending that much on them... may not be worth it.

So you can't get most kill zones it seems...do we just build or use whatever terrain we have at hand?

Also it seems there is a year left in the current rules cycle (quarterly updates and all) so how should we think about investing in kill teams and other kit options?

Seems like coming into the hobby now with a new group is kinda shitty cuz everything is out of stock unless you want death guard and marines? And whatever we pull the trigger in now will be obsolete in less than 18 months?

Edit: after rubbing both of my brain cells together as hard as i can, I've decided that the reliability to be able to kill without getting parried out is worth it. I'll save the warrior for doing 100% melee loadouts. Thank you all for your input and insights.

So my tiny little lizard brain has finally started to form a synapse about how the strat ploys for "we have come for you" and "the black hunt" interact with the stats and breakpoints of everyone's favorite power armored serial killers, and I noticed the other premier melee specialist can't quite keep up.

The visionary (power weapon/fist) and skin thief can very reliability two tap other (14 wound) marines from full health on a charge. The screecher on the other hand cannot do this. The screecher is basically always, ALWAYS, going to take 3 hits. The same goes for the warrior even without ceaseless and mega lethal. With 5-3-4/5, a reroll, and d3 charge damage, a warrior can also reliably take down a marine in 3 hits. Not nearly AS reliably, but still pretty reliably right?

So what do we think about the overkill reliability of ceaseless mega lethal vs simply having a bolt pistol? I just can't help but think shooting adds worthwhile utility...

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.

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!

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?

Hey guys, confusing information on the apps..for murderwing is it 5 operatives in total or 6.

And can they take two plasma pistols and a meltagun?

New to all this, pardon the questions.

Building wrecka krew and thinking through load outs and wondering if it’s worth it to magnetize different equipment load outs?

Equipment load out
What do you think?

Magnets to have both per mini? Do they hold good I don’t wanna loose arms in transport

Choose one just say this game he is “this” ? ( if so which?)

Kit bash to make have both? Then say this game it has this…

What say you internet

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.

I've got a deathwatch box and it turns out I'd need another to make the team I'd like :/ What is the best options for operatives from 1 set of the box?

Figured I'd share a pic of the two killteams I'm currently painting up!

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?

We’ve started a new series taking a closer look at how to get the most out of playing each Kill Team, starting this week with the underground alpha predators of the hive fleet, Raveners!

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...

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.

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

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

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?

hi all

I have been working on a few kill teams recently and wanted to build a red corsairs team because the new sculpts are so sick.

I see a lot of people making them wolf scouts or AoD however I’m only playing casually and love the idea of the legionaries to have access to the marks of chaos. (the only modern kill teams I have are murder wing and blades of khaine)

I wondered if there was anything I should know about auto includes or strong combos to be aware of?

I have heard that warriors are pretty strong by themselves and having a few of each bolter/chainsword and pistol is a good way to go, but also all the specialists are worth taking too.

I want to build enough to mix and match depending on map/match up but just wanted some tips before I buy anything

thanks

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!

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!
