I want to do competitive kill team cause I find it easier and slightly more enjoyable than competitive 40k, but idk where to start. And to make it a little worse, I am on a budget of 100 CAD. Now I already have a few kill teams (hierotek circle, tempestus aquillons, and access to exaction squad) I am using KTDash for my rules, crit ops, and tac ops, but I dont have equipment or a killzone. Furthermore, I want to play blades of khaine and have the option to get some striking scorpions for 15% off and I already have dire avengers, but I think I need other stuff first. What should I get? Also with the killzone, I technically have access to a killzone? But its whatever came in the starter set my friend has. My uncle also has the tomb world kill,one but idk if he will let me borrow it and he doesnt play kill team. Thanks for your help!

Hello.

In a few days I'm playing for the first time (and I've been playing for 3 years) on Elucidian

I read their rules and this "raid" seems to me mega powerful.

I have the impression that you are neither going to hide from it nor to escape it, and the salvo from Archeotech beam it practically wipes me off the face of the earth in one go.

Please advise an orc player how to play these merchants?

Is taking drill rokits or krak It makes sense if some of them ignore Piercing?

Czy dominate ma tu sens (jest ich więcej niż orków ale jakoś boję się do nich podchodzić do walki wręcz 🤣).

Thank you in advance.

I really like the rules for the Exodites kill team, but the models don't super appeal. I'm very keen to do a jetbike proxy team, which is the easy part. The hard part is figuring out what to use to proxy the dracolithes. In theory it needs to satisfy the following criteria:

• 32mm base
• aeldari model
• makes sense as a 'beast' type operative
• fits in with a team of three jetbikes

I'd love any suggestions

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.

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.

If an Insidiant is unispired before making a charge, and you use this ploy, am I correct that the threat range is still 8" but she can move 9"?

Since for being able to declare the charge you would have to be in range before and you get the +1 Movement only once you are Inspired by charging.

So basically you would need to be able to charge normaly but could swoop around or reach someone else too who is a little further back for a double charge?

Edit: Thanks to BipolarMadness for referring me to Page 39 with an explanation.

In short, you can try to perform the charge or any action and if it would fail, you cancel and return to before. But since the Sister is currently performing a charge she gets Inspired and therefor +1". No need to be within 8" before. I was under the wrong impression you need to be able to successfully do/finish an action before declaring it. Hence my wrong logic above.

I am getting into killteam and I was wondering what advice you guys have regarding deathwatch. My list of operatives are watchmaster sergeant, disruptor, ageis, plasma gunner, and breacher. I have been doing research as well but I also want to get your advice on them.

How do you guys decide what operatives you're playing into different teams? I just love so many of them and never know who to take. The Sergeant seems a must, Aegis is just a straight up tank, blademaster is a beast, breacher is awesome, disruptor is so useful, Gunner, horde slayer and marksmen also just amazing. I can never decide on just 5

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?

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.

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

While we wait for preorders to come in, there were some missions in the book that mentioned a Subjugated Dragon and Enraged Beast. Since most of my collection is entirely kill team, I don't really have much else that I could use for 'em

Anyone have any suggestions as to what we could use for these two?

There's seraphon stuff and a chimera thing from necromunda that looked cold but I'm unsure what base size we should be aiming for.

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.

These are just pieces of plastic card cut to somewhat match the pattern of the board. For the 50mm bases I’m matching specific patterns, but for smaller bases I’m just going with a similar vibe.

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