Shadow War Armageddon- What Kill Team are you planning? Tell a bit about your team, planning, etc.
Im going with Imperial Guard. (dont tell me Astra Militarum !)
Steel Legion
9 members(wish I could have squeezed in 10...)
Sgt with laspistol
5 Veteran Guardsmen with lasguns
3 Specialists with Sniper rifles, toxic rounds and photovisors
Guardsmen work in teams of two or three, Snipers hang back , Sgt. stays by a Sniper or two to give the reroll of 1's.
Most are Cadians with Pig Iron Kolony Militia heads. Snipers are Urban Wars Viridian Snipers.
-
We will probably mod it for Prospero and 30K. I might even use the Scout figures from the box to do a Ammitara Occult Intercession Cabal which seems like it would work perfectly for SW:A scale and rules and fit in well with the project I'm working on presently for 30K.
On the opposite side I think I'll have to do a pack of Deathsworn for them to fight against.
-
Warp-displaced Mark III Space Marines. Not sure what chapter yet.
-
I have been waiting like 20 years for GW to release new rules to field a Genestealer Cult (in small scales), so that's what I'll be aiming at.
But the true purpose of Shadowwar is to use my grand collection of GW inspired 15mm. So it'll be 15mm Blood Angels, Space Orks, Eldar Strike Force and Genestealer Cult!
-
Not sure yet.
I have a load of eldar gathering dust, so maybe some Biel-tan.
I'm pretty sure I'll finally paint up my harlequins.
I don't really have a lot of work to field either IG or orks.
I might even pick up another box of scouts and field them Blood angels, can allways add the to my army.
I even have a box of dark eldar wytches I was planning to convert to Blood bowl dark elves than might end up as something different now.
And i really want a genestealer cult.
I love the possibilities this new book will create.
-
Hmm, if I ever get off my arse, I plan either to do either Space Wolf or Dark Angels scouts.
Partly because I already have the models, and partly because it's a great excuse to paint them up! :P
-
I plan to demo this at my local store so I plan to have Space Marine Scouts, Ork Boyz, Cadians, Catachans, and Tau Pathfinders. I will use these since they are the models I currently have.
-
I haven't really looked at the options yet. Is there (fan-written, no doubt) support for Squats? Mantic's Forgefathers will do nicely for them. Ooh, or even better yet, how about a team of Slann braves? Or Zoat mercenaries?
-
I can field a team of Genestealer Cultists right now, thanks to the Deathwatch:Overkill box set. And I have loads of other stuff sitting around collecting dust and looking for paint-love. This would be a great excuse to paint some Harlequins.
But I'd really love to finally use my Praetorians. They've only seen one battle back in second edition. It was my first game at a store. After some drool-fingered nob knocked them over with his unpainted Tyranids, chipping the paint job on the whole squad, I decided they would never visit a tournament again.
-
I'm actually quite interested in this - has anyone seen the rule book yet? The download doesn't say what the points value you're working to is - I assume 1000 like necromunda? Also, what are the special operatives? Do I need one of each?

From the reviews and gameplay vids I've watched, it's 1000 credits to start, although I suppose you could do larger or smaller to start if everyone's the same. Special ops are the game equivalent to Necromunda Hired Guns - specialists that you hire for a single game who don't permanently join your team.
-
Squats via the ig list for one off games
For narrative campaign games an inquisition. Warband

Starting teams are 1,000 points. 3-10 members max, up to 20 for Orks. (i think Gene cult is 15)
Starting bands are pretty small 4-7 members. 1,000 points just isnt enough for everything you want!
Special Operatives are like hired guns, 1 promethium cache per game to use them. You dont have to use them, they are optional.
-
Thanks both - I'll get browsing, Seems a good excuse to paint up some 2nd edition metals...
-
Now that you guys remind me of it, I'll probably get a Genestealer Cult warband for this too. I wanted that army when it came out but just didn't have the time/space to get a whole one then. This will be perfect. Maybe I'll just get the Deathwatch: Overkill box and build one of them and a Deatchwatch Kill Team too.

Just as an FYI, normal space marines or Deathwatch marines can't be used in a normal game of Shadow War. If you select marines, your team will consist of scouts. You can spend a promethium cache to higher a special operative. This would allow you to use one Deathwatch marine for one game.
-
Sisters of Battle
Inquisition
Mechanicus
Genestealer Cult
Dark Eldar
(Maybe)
Tau
Marine Scouts
-
Thanks for the heads up on that. It is probably worth buying the game either way. You get about $160 worth of Genestealer models plus the Aberrants with it so it is worth buying even without the Marines, but that does mean I'll have to think of someone to fight them. Fortunately I have plenty of other stuff lying around and my buddy has a BA army with lots of scouts.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about! o_o
Explain it to me slowly, please.
It looks vaguely 40K meets Starguard...

Put simply, it is Necromunda rules with 40k figures. It has a campaign system but it is simpler than that contained in Necromunda. Unlike 40k, the rulebook contains stats and points for various units.
It was a boxed set that quickly sold out, but a 200+ page $40 hardback rulebook is coming (preorder on the 22nd) that will have the information in the original boxed set rulebook plus additional factions and content.
-
I'm going with Alpha Legion using mostly Mk3 & Mk4 armour with some non skulled/spiked 40k era chaos marine amour mixed in. Plus some cultists of course. Thinking along the lines that this group of AL fled to the eye of terror after Horus was killed. But time hasn't moved much for them. 10k years later and now they are back. But I am still going with the HH era paint scheme just more beat up.
I also plan on doing an Inqusitor team when the rules come out. Most of that has been painted already.
-A
-
Tempted to do some of those new Steampunk GW dwarfs as IG.
Otherwise Marines, Skitarii or IG. Or Inquisition. Or Eldar. Or... ah dammit!
-
I have some of the really old metal Space marine Scouts with the mohawks. I can use them as rookies scouts along with regular Scouts. Should work out well, you can certainly tell them apart. I think I'll use Crimson Fists.
I also have the Imperial Guard Steel Legion. So many choices......
-
"For The Emperor!".
Probably Alpha legion.
Mine are mainly standard plastic marines with the odd chaos bits.
"We are the Hydra Legion, please show us to your shield control centre, those crates labelled explosives, ah cunning camouflage, they are technical equipment, perfectly safe left up against the equipment".
-
I'll most likely be playing a genestealer cult, but with some of the excellent hyborks (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=85344.0) rather than humans (or perhaps a mixed cult of human and ork hybrids - both would be fitting for Armageddon!).
If not them, then probably Harlequin as I have recently pulled a bunch of my old metals out of storage.
-
I have enough Harlequins to do a nice Kill Team with too. They haven't seen much action except as allies of the Dark Eldar and once or twice my small Eldar force. In Shadow War they will be getting some mileage.
Actually thinking of all the forces I have in 40K/30K I could probably put together a decent campaign night for a half dozen people or more with just what I have right now: Chaos cultists, Harlequins, Dark Eldar, Eldar, Space Marine scouts, Orks and Inquisition forces, as well as the Guard troops I have. There could even be a few rival Chaos cults. We could probably do a thing similar to the Path to Glory campaign from fantasy years back.
-
It certainly won't take many Harlequins to make a team.
-
The rules for SoB and Inq are now added:
https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/ShadowWar/SWA_Killteams_ENG.pdf
-
Awesome. The preorder should be up soon too.
-
It certainly won't take many Harlequins to make a team.
Or Zoats.
-
Agreed, I really like the way GW released it, even while the initial box is sold out, you can get everything now.
-
Holy $#!( $83 for the rulebook. $%#@! GW.
=========
Now i looked and its $40 USA. Maybe i was listed as different country? Or are there soft & hardcover versions?
-
You probably got the New Zealand price. It is always a heart stopper when I do that too.
Although I've bought their FW campaign books for 70 quid each and thought they were pretty good even at that price.

I was looking on the GW site this morning the ready made kill teams look like small armies
https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Warhammer-40-000?N=102296+3151434147&_requestid=1383163
for example the chaos one is
10 Chaos Space Marines and a set of 5 Cultists, who make up the bulk of the Kill Team, along with 2 Chaos Spawn, 5 Raptors and 5 Terminators, who function as Chaos Space Marine Special Operatives.
and the Tau one is
10-man Pathfinder Team, who make up the bulk of the Kill Team, along with 3 XV25 Stealth Battlesuits, a Cadre Fireblade and an Ethereal with Honour Blade, who function as Tau Pathfinder Special Operatives.
I was expecting to need a lot less or are these sets giving you every available option?
-
...

You need indeed a LOT less. ;)
You can run a Kill Team with 5 Scouts, or SoB.
Just check the list I linked above.

It is indeed a lot less than what they are selling bundled. For example, the spawns, Raptors, and terminators are all special operatives. When you spend a promethium cache to hire them for a game, you get one of those not a full unit. So to take the 5 Raptors would be spending five caches. You really only need one of each special operative, but since they aren't sold as individual models, GW is selling the whole box to you.
-
To be fair, what else were they supposed to do? They don't make individual-model sprues of most/all of the specialist models. In the old days they could/would have done metal single packs or two-packs, but that's not an option in the new all-plastic era.
-

And you really do NOT NEED the Special Operatives at all. They are not essential, only optional. Mercenaries, hired guns that you dont need to use at all. Just look on Ebay or Bartertown for single figs.
-
I am very happy to see GW going back to supporting this smaller format of play.
Is there a complete list of all warbands out there? I know of the extended file but IIRC that does not include the "base" teams.
And to answer the topics main question. I havn't looked at my 40k stuff for a while now, but I'm pretty sure I have all I need for a Tau pathfinder team and a Tyranid warrior team on hand.

Here they are with an Ork Kill Team.

I cannot get over how bad the Scout heads are. Absolutely terrible! I see now why people always replace them! lol
-
I've got plenty of Chaos marines that I've painted in all sorts of colours so they would be useful, it's just a shame it's a game of majority cultists!
-
I also just bought a box of Genestealer cutlists to use with this. I'll probably use the Guard list in the book until I get my hands on a proper list for them. I'm going to use the heads with the more genestealer-y bits as the veterans and the more human head guys as novices. Just count the autoguns as lasguns and mining laser as a meltagun or whatever and you are all set. I'll probably build the first set with just a flamer and guys with shot guns and auto guns. Leader will have a chainsword and bolt pistol.
-
The free force list on the GW website has s genestealer cult list ;-)

Sweetness itself! I'll have to go check it out.

Far too many :D . I really want to make a guard and Night Lords kill teams. Such a small game is an awesome excuse to go to town converting really fun models. The Night Lords are an old favorite and it allows me to build bigged up marines because I won't be fielding many. I also want to do up a Dark Eldar team and think it would be a great ecuse to build some wild Inquisition retinues and play with those AdMech figs as well. Lots :D .
-
SW:Armageddon is a wonderful thing. With a lot of energy you start a box of 40K-Stuff (a new army) and after 10 Miniatures you are burned out and the rest stays for a long time in the box. Now you can play with all these archieved and painted ten toys a game. Great, isn't it???
-
Heaven Help me.
I broke down and bought new GW figures for the first time in almsot 7 years. Pre-ordered the Rulebook and to bump over the free shipping limit I purchased a box of neophyte hybrids.
Didn't want to sink alot of $ into this one but I figure I've got plenty of figs that I can mod to make base neophytes, for the Acolytes and charachters I can do some connverting to get there, and Cheap Genestealers are not hard to find.
Looks like I'll be doing a Genestealer cult kill team.
-
I bought the book too. It'll give me an excuse to dig under the game table for the GW figs that have been languishing in boxes unpainted.
-
I am doing a Ad Mech Skitarii Kill Team, see here: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=100444.0

I too have been trapped by the shininess...
Dug out a box of Cadians for a kill team.
(Edit: I hate autocorrect...)
-
I actually bought some scouts on the dutch marketsite.
First GW models in years.
It's the same batch from the box. I was planning on getting some bolter scouts, since I allready have snipers, but this guy gave me a nice deal on the lot.
Yesterday prepped some harlequins for painting.
It's nice to finally be enthousiastic about my GW mini's again.
I really hope the new 40k is worth playing.
It'll hurt my wallet, but I have som much mini's I'd love to use/work on again.
-
I've got a Chaos Marine team on my desk right now. Khornate marines; no cultists. But playing with the list, I'm already planning a second one, which will be Alpha Legion with many cultists, based on the descriptions in the book 'Legion'.
Necrons, I can field right now, with my 2nd ed model army.
Scouts I have ready in a great many flavors.
And I've got so many other WIP 40K armies that have been gathering dust for almost a decade now:
IG, AM, Tau, (Dark) Eldar, Inq, SoB, Orks, GK, you name it. And all that's needed is a small team between 1 and 20 models?
Good thing I've got the book on its way... lol
And here's to hoping either GW or some enterprising individual translates all original Necromunda gangs and Outlanders to these rules, because my flavours would at least double then! :D
-
I have models for all the kill teams listed :D

Looking at the listed factions, I'm just lacking the Harlequins, but that can be remedied quickly... lol

I've played my first game of SW:A tody, really liked it a lot. I'm playing an Imperial Guard team consisting only of models from the old 2. Edition Catachan metal box.

Since they made rules for him, I'm going to run him as an alternative to my Scouts

Apart from scouts do they have proper marines in the rules?

No, just Chaos Space Marines and Grey Knights

To be fair it wouldn't be hard to tailor some profiles for Marines. The Chaos Marine profile can't be far off, and there's various kinds of power armour available. Weird how they didn't include them given every damn thing else is in. Seems like an awesome game, though!
-
Is it possible to bump the stats for stock troop profiles to accommodate small squads of elite troops, say Cadians to Kasrkins, Ork Boyz to Blood Ax Commandos?
I ask because under the game table I found not only unpainted metal SM Scouts and metal Tau Pathfinders, but Ork BACs and a full squad of metal Kasrkins. And as much as I enjoy buying new figs, I certainly don't need 'em.

I'm a bit wary of any of the power-armored figs being avaiable as regular troops. Not bad to have them as special operatives but I'm worried they'll be too hard to kill if fielded in multiples. One of the things that made necromunda work so well was that all the factions had the same armor.
-
You can include odd elite models in your kill team for the price of one promethium cache This includes terminators in the marine list. There isn't much in the main rule book that can really hurt terminators. If it can hurt them it just isn't likely to do so. But one promethium cache is a high price to pay.
-
Like I said; I'm building a CSM only Chaos list right now, and with only 5 models, they're individually tough, but as a group, they'll suffer from early bottle tests after only two downed models.
And because of the mechanics of the game, even autopistols still stand a chance of hitting and even wounding a power armoured individual. Yes; the modifiers are extreme, but as this game relies on dice rolling... Well; things tend to happen... ::)
What I'm really wary of though, is facing off against the Harlequin Solitaire (and let's face it Voivod; I inevitably will lol ). Because to wound it, you first need to hit it, and with those stats, even a single model can be a real nightmare. Still; it would certainly be different and interesting ;)

You can equip the IG troops with carapace armor and lasguns with hot-shot laser packs, which basically makes them storm troopers/kasrkins.
-
Cool. Thank you.
-
Regular Marines would be fairly easy- use Chaos Marines as base. No Cultists. No Chaos Marks. Give them "And They Shall Know No Fear" rule. Skill levels in main book, as Scout lists.
-
Finished assembling the first kill team: Cadians.
(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qYCklI-tBeg/WRDoQrW2J8I/AAAAAAAACKc/mV3uYbRkJAQQHwthNXasVmCDPecurp89wCLcB/s1600/cadiankillteam-01.png)
Sergeant, Grenadier, four veteran Guardsmen and two Guardsmen.
Now need to get some spray paint to undercoat them.
-
My plan for "real" marines is to use the Chaos Marine list as-is with Mark of Khorne to represent a small pack of Space Wolf Grey Hunters that came to the nick-of-time rescue of an IG unit (counts-as "cultists") and are escorting/commanding them until the Wolves can get the IG back to their regiment. The missions are the wolves/IG taking out objectives/obstacles as they come across them.
-
My Genestealer Cult Kill Team is finished, at least the initial batch of them. I'll probably need a few more as they go. I want to do another hybrid initiate and a flamer guy tonight.
(http://i.imgur.com/tPBrDGL.jpg)
So far they have some decent pop but half the models are novitiates so if I lose the wrong three guys the gang falls apart.
(http://i.imgur.com/WKczIyD.jpg)
I think one more novitiate will do the trick though.
(http://i.imgur.com/sLcwDxX.jpg)
We are going to try to play one more game tonight using these guys and maybe try out an Eldar Kill Team to fight them with, perhaps even Harlequins.

Scouts, IG, inquisitor, Grey Knights, chaos and Harlies!

I wonder if there will ever be rules for using the original Necromunda gangs.
-
I suppose you could always field them as guard.
And the rules are suppoosed to be pretty much the same, so mayme you could do a bit of improvising.
-
The way I understand it, the original gangs can simply be used as is. However: the campaign rules are so simplified, that the experience may vary, as the advancement works so different.
I'm planning to recreate the original Necromunda campaign system for SWA, with slightly different flavors for each faction.
So the campaigns for gangs, guard, orks etc can work 1 on 1. But necrons or nids for example would require a rework of the Outlanders campaign to make sense. And then there are loads of factions inbetween those two extremes.
But I'm pretty sure it can be pulled off. And that way, the original gangs can be integrated seamlessly, which is something I'd like too...
-
I wonder if there will ever be rules for using the original Necromunda gangs.
If it sells weĺl I wouldn't be surprised to see Forgeworld do Shadow War:Necromunda.
Gang rules could de made esily enough by tweaking the guard or marine scout lists.
-
Using I scout force backed by some true scale conversions I had made prior. After that maybe custom guard using anvil or victoria models.
-
Space Marine scout lists would be a bit overpowered for gangs, but if playability is the priority over fluff, that could work.
The Genestealer cult list (possibly IG also) looks better suited for representing Necromunda gangs. I'd be curious to hear if anyone has used the original Necromunda gangs as-is and what their experiences were. I have a feeling that they'd be outmatched pretty badly against the other factions, but it'd be good to know.
By the same token, I rather like having Necromunda being it's own thing. Part of the charm of Necromunda is that it's made up of more "human" characters who are weaker and a bit more ordinary than the aliens and supermen that inhabit the rest of the 40k universe.

Really loving those Orks.
Here is my start of a Kill-team:

Cool. I'll be sure to do some guard too, to double as my veterans in my regular army.
I'll wait untill my book arrives though.

Skaven... I'm mean really, why wouldn't there be mutant rat men in the bowels of a giant industrial complex? ;) :D

These are actually leftovers from WAY back in the before times when I actually tried making a Skaven gang for the original Necromunda. lol
-
Here is my Kill Team, just need a hybrid metamorph and to get one of my many Genestealers painted to match and we should be in good shape with all the options.

He doesn't really fit, but such a cool model. Maybe we will use him as a purestrain, or just make him one of the options for special operatives.

The whole crew.

Love those genestealer cult minis,very menacing :-*
-
I'm ultimately going to use them for a campaign where we have 3 players a side, Imperial vs. Genestealers. We do three games of SW:A so that everyone plays everyone on the other side.
Each game will have an impact on the last game of the day which will be a 40K game with all of the models from the SW games plus more.
The winners of the first round will get to pick one of several scenarios to play.
The second round winners will get to pick which side of the board they start on.
The third round winners will get to choose whether they go first or second in the game.
Each side will also get 1000 pts for their army plus 100 pts for each Promethium cache that they got in the SW:A games.

Pictors Studio-
I had absolutely no interest in the Genestealer Cult figs until you posted those pics. Now I've ordered two boxes of them. I hope you're happy with yourself.
:? :-[ >:(
;)
-
Genestealer Cults have always interested me since I first read about them in 2nd edition. I have one of the old Patriarch's around here somewhere.
I was pretty interested in Overkill when it came out but it was one project, and then three projects, away from where I was, so I put off getting it.
Then SW:A came out and, much more so than Orks, they are the perfect xenos antagonist for a game like that. So, much like you now, I had to have a box. So I walked to the local game shop the week I got the SW:A boxed set and bought a box of hybrids. Then when we played out campaign game at the store in Pittsburgh I bought the DW:OK game.
I'm not hugely interested in them as a big army of any sort but they are a brilliant narrative army to play in all kinds of scenarios.
I'm glad I was able to tempt you. Enjoy.
-
Being a fan of "Aliens", I've always liked Genestealers. I have a rather large collection of them, Hormagaunts and Rippers. The whole cult and hybrid thing however doesn't really appeal to me. I'll most likely kitbash the figs some to make them more human.
-
Someone posted some really cool pictures of them with different heads, they made great regular guard figures.
Here are some of the hybrids.

They can only be used as special operatives in SW:A but if I'm going to be running three GC kill teams at one time I'm going to need a few of them. Especially if we do as planned and give each kill team a permanent special operative.
-
Genestealer cult and IG Vostroyans...
-
This game has got me interested in something 40k for the first time in decades. Dusting off my Rogue Trooper era army, mercs etc to create a kill team.
-
It really birthed an interest in 40K for me too. I was doing a lot of 30K but couldn't give a rats puckered arse for 40K, but now I'm getting drawn more and more back into the narrative. The Genestealer cult figures and the new Primaris marines are pulling their weight in all of this too.
I think I'll probably get a Primaris force to be the primary opponents for a Cult-themed campaign after our mini campaign using SW:A is over.
Here are the aberrants, which sadly aren't in SW:A, but we'll probably work them in.

Made a start on mine. Imperial Guard, gave me an excuse to finally.pick up some of the lovely Valhallans

Those look great and that is a cool colour scheme for Valhallans. I was thinking of getting some guard now that Space Marines are the right size and am somewhat torn about which ones to get. Your picture is pushing me towards Valhallans though.

Excellent painting on those! And the bases, are they the new Sector Mechanicus ones?
-
Nice, I have some Mordians lying around I was planning to eventually use to get into casting my own.
But SWA certainly is a nice excuse to paint up something different.....
Lovely colourscheme you have on them.
-

Thank you!
They are. Very nice they are too and they seem pretty good value. What are GW playing at!?
-
30K/40K never interested me. I prefer skirmish level to large battles. I'm still waiting for my copy of the SW:A rulebook to get here. I've got "non-canon" "Imperial Guard" squads coming out my ears (many of them kit-bashed) and need to put them to some use. I typically don't give a fat, hairy, wet, rat's @$$ about what figures GW tries to dictate I use. I use whatever figures I damn well please. I just want to know the game's allowed unit composition.
-
Guard, affix bayonets!
-
Alpha Legion sniper and support.
The Sniper (work in progress).

It is an enormous points sink, if I go all sneak Womble I think it is three figures.
-
Crap. that reminds me I have some Chaos marines from the space crusades box I wanted to paint as Alpha-legion.
I'll try and not give into the temptation to not let that grow into another kill-team.
Nice model, but I'm not convinced in the lascannon being to usefull. It wasn't in Necromunda.
Do you have any other reason to pick it over any other gun, apart from it looking bad-ass?
-
Sniping someone with a lascannon lol
Suitable 40k overkill
-
Nice model, but I'm not convinced in the lascannon being to usefull. It wasn't in Necromunda.
Bottom left... lascannon in Necromunda

-
Bit of a miscommunication apparently.
I knew it was in Necromunda, I just didn't think it was usefull in necromunda ;)
It was extremely expensive and far more killey than anything in that game needed to be.
Same goes for the meltagun. I'd much rather have heavy stubbers/bolters or grenade launchers and flamers.
Though, admittedly you wouldn't face a greyknight terminator in necromunda.
-
I am not sure what I want to play so I raided bitz box and surplus minis and have made the following:
Genestealer cult [From the Death Watch over kill box]
Ork Blood Axe team or a Kommando type team [based on Deadzone Marauders]
CSM Tzeentch [WH40k space marines with Genestealer cultists as Chaos cultists]
CSM Nurgle [WH40k space marines with Plague troopers from Deadzone]
Tau [converted Fire warriors also scratch built 2 drones]
Space Marine scouts [Space wolves themed made from Sniper rifle box set. Converted two Scouts with plasma and flamer options]
Inquisition [Based around Judge Dredd.]
Still want to make an Eldar KT and maybe Sisters of Battle but they can wait..
I finally got the SW:A rule book in transit should have it by tomorrow, then my Son and I can have our first game ... see which faction suits us the best.
Cheers
LGW
-
Imperial Army, you young punks! lol
Had my first training game yesterday at the FLGA Game Kastle in Mountain View (CA). Faced a Sisters of Battle team run by one of the staff. Knock down drag out fun, really. Muffed my initial deployment but wound up having my veteran sergeant take down no less than three of the SoB in hand-to-hand combat, a one-two-three follow-on succession of charge-kill-keep-charging punctuated by some really stinky die rolls on my opponent's part and some really insanely lucky rolls on mine (and I'm the one who usually has the cunning plan and the stinky die rolls!).
I have to admit that this game appears to harken back more to the original WH40KRT in feel and style, and I admit I like it for this reason, along with the fact that you don't have to spend piles and piles of money to play. In my case, this had the added advantage that I was able to dust off my old 1st edition Imperial Army figures and use them in action for the first time in circa 30+ years!
Completing my new-found madness, I am joining the FLGS's SW:A League, and will show up every Saturday to kill or be killed for the greater glory of the Emperor of Mankind. :D

It was part of a planned elite Alpha Legion unit for 40K from the way back when.
Probably more use as an opposition squad for scenarios than a normal SWA squad.
"Vanilla" chaos wombles are probably the way to go without special or heavy weapons.
-
Ah, yes. I guess many a kill-team will be made by what we have had laying about for a few years.I kow mine will.
But it does feel good to finally use those mini's again.
It will make your initial team quite a bit compact, but SWA does allow for a more consistant growth of the team, so I've heard.
And it will certainly be intimidating to cross it's line of sight in the mean time, won't it?
-
I too love it for the old skool 40k vibe, it strikes me as a mix of 40k Rogue Trader, 2nd edition, Necro and some of the newer rules. In short mostly what I have been trying to cobble together myself for years.
Again good work GW
I for one would like to start small forces for the following:
Space marine scouts - have (metal ones, brought from the good people here)
Orks - have but need some additions (again, brought from the good people here)
Imperial Guard (not using the new name, as its stupid :-I) - have a mix of EM4 Marines and Kryomek Nexus troops
Chaos Space Marines - Have, use Kryomek Nexus Cyclos as cultists
Craftworld Eldar - have
Harlequins - 2 kill teams have
Inquisition - have, no one was expecting that lol ;)
Necrons - have, using Terminators (film) and possibly Kryomek Nexus Talos CBUs
Tyranid - have, using either heroclix aliens or Kryomek
M`mm quite a lot it seems but I still want
Adeptus Sororitas - Always wanted to do a small force
Tau Pathfinder force - I may use CP models alien federation models for this?
Better get bloody painting then
lol

Absolutely agreed. It's long passed time I got out the old RT era Imperial ARMY, Squats and B-Troopers. Ok there was only one B-Trooper originally but I head swapped to make him some friends.

Ah... it wasn't useful in Necromunda. Gotcha. My bad. :-X
My memory is a bit vague. The Delaque Heavy with the lascannon... that was the only "official" figure armed with a lascannon, correct? There was a Van Saar Heavy and a Escher Heavy, each armed with a Heavy Melta but no other lascannons. Yes/No?
-
I dug out my Grey Knights, and found 2 models ready and undercoated, a third finished. I totted up the points and found out that kitted out as they were they came up to over 1000 points!
Scratch that idea, or go and dig up some more GKs with more modest equipment.
-
Finished my harley.
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=100718.msg1249856#msg1249856
Well, a kill-team can be 6 harlequins and specialist, so I might be able to use most of them.
And who knows: 8th ed. might actually be worth playing and give me a reason to paint more eldar.
Thinking about some Blood Angel scouts next
-
The Scouts list and the Harlequins list don't get you a lot of guys, the Scouts more than the Harlequins. On the plus side you don't have to paint many models.
I think the key with Harlequins is to buy a lot of guys up front and then buy equipment for them as you go. Give each of them a pistol and a combat blade or a dedicated close combat weapon and get as many as you can as it isn't easy to get more later.
The scouts are more forgiving because the novices are cheaper, although if you are doing wolves you don't get any of those.
-
How come Inquisition can not take Flamer/plasma guns or Heavy stubbers?
LGW

The Van Saar heavy you're thinking of had a heavy plasma which is also ridiculous overkill. The Escher heavy has what looks like a standard plasma though it is attached to a backpack and could probably serve as a heavy plasma if someone was silly enough to do so. I have the Escher fig, but I never bothered with the Van Saar. I simply converted a second Van Saar heavy stubber fig to carry a flamer instead.
I think that might have been the extent of the very silly heavy weapons, but I'd have to check CCMiniatures to make sure.
-
Yeah, the lascannon and heavy plasma where both a bit much. Credits being valuable as they where, they would've been better spend on other weapons.
My delaques heavies both have heavy stubbers, which I found was the most reliable and cost effective.
Off course in shadow war you're quite likely to run in some power armour or heavier, so some weapons that where absolute overkill in necromunda might have a place in this game.
-
I never bought anything heavier than a heavy stubber. They ruled the roost in Necromunda.
Not so much in SW:A where you might run into a terminator and genestealers can only be pinned by stronger weapons. And pinning a Genestealer is pretty cool if you can't kill it.
Speaking of, here are some pictures of the newest additions to my SW:A Genestealer Cult line up.

So I guess ten skitari would be okay for a kill team or is that over kill???
-
nah, they are perfectly Ok, Skitarii were one of expanded teams that were added to stand alone rulebook and are now a core force.
Ive got models for all teams except of Necrons and Tau.
Inquisition will be ready first but I am working on Chaos with truescalled Slaneshian marines made from older Dark vengeance chosen with beastmen cultists and Genestealer cult, and surprisingly I started to build Scouts from the box I thought I would never use :)
-
Took the plunge and bought some skitari today!
-
Good man Andy!
-
I've been cleaning and sticking together some scouts this evening.
First time in years I got the plastic glue out again. I've been working with restic and metal for years now.
I do feel like some more.... exotic models.
I would really like some of those genestealers cults.
Maybe I should actually play a game first, though....
-
Scout sets are difficult to assemble. To have any interesting pose you need green stuff and pins, and the heads are medicore..
At the other side after that Gene cultists are pleasure to do.
Overkill ones snap perfectly and multipart are really well made (one of GW best sets).
Saying that, few games wont hurt before over committing :)
Just know that anything you will be building later will be better made and more pleasurable than scouts 8)
-
Worse than assembling scouts is painting them. The lack of detail on the boots for instance makes it almost impossible to paint them separate from the knee and shin guards. Or here does the glove ends and the fingers start? It's time they do some new scouts...maybe Primaris ones? ;D
-
Good man Andy!
Thanks Derek!
-
Looking good.
Super-sized Scouts... That'd be cool.
Saw an up-scale Dread recently. Is everything going Primaris-ed eventually?
-

I thought you where opting out of the sci-fi for now?
Just when you thought you got out, they drag you back in. huh? ;)
Worse than assembling scouts is painting them.
Assembly wasn't to bad. The models are okay. I don't think they lack a lot of details.
What is weird is that they have these pouches on their chest, which get in the way for their left arm and shoulder pad if you give them bolters.
This makes those arms look a bit weird, the shoulderpads have a bit missing to make room and there's still a gap between the parts that need filling up.
Not what you'd expect from the creators of 'the greatest miniatures in the world'.
The faces are not great. When there's a bit of tech on them, they're fine, though the hair needs some work.
I actually replaced some heads with Catachan heads I had laying about from another project (ironically, my take on necromunda Goliaths)
They fit rather well. The scale is okay and they just needed some adjustments at the socket-joint.
It gives the mini's a bit more of an old-skool look.
I'll be painting them up pretty soon and expect to enjoy it, but at the moment I might first start working on my infinity Aleph force.
-
I hope yours turn out as you want them, but I think the old metal scouts were much more characterful luckliy I have a stash of 12 of the little blighters
No bolters though :-[
Like to see your scouts, what chapter you doing?

I am glad it is not just me ^__^
-
I am yet to paint one.. but Your comments sounds a little disheartening...
To be honest i considered them to be basket case, but started to build first one inspired by great BA on the cover art.
Ive just replaced scout heads with Skitarii ones. Finish is quite strange for any Space marine purist but heads ar most defined and much better detailed part of the models now :P

I started painting one yesterday...and used the Scions heads, way better than the ones supplied with the kit.

Yeah, they're not perfect models, but they paint up fine.
And a decent paintjob goes a long way on many models.
Mine are going to be Blood angels, as they will be joining my larger army..... which I might strip and repaint at some point.
-
That scout is very good, as The
Google Voivod says a decent paint job goes a long way.
(Edit: corrected auto correct - will it last?)
-
Good replacing the heads as they are the bits I don't like on the plastics much improved thumbs up from me :)
-

A request for someone that has the new GW hive terrain. I'm too cheap to by the GW kits so I'm going to do something on my own (3D Printed). Can someone tell me the height from the table up to the "deck" on the GW stuff? Thanks
-
I definitely like those Tempestous heads on the Scouts, especially the helmet ones. I just found the rest of my Space Wolf heads for the scouts so I'm going to pop the heads off the ones that don't have them and put them on.
Meanwhile here are some more cultists for the ever growing Genestealer cults.

And the head swap on those scouts is such a simple but huge improvement.

I hate autocorrect (it knows I hate it, I type "I hate" and it suggests "autocorrect") ^__^.

I think the cultists are some of the best figs GW has done for 40K in a while. I mean the plastic 30K space marines are great too but not so different from the other versions and the resin ones so tough call on those but these guys are new and fresh and evil looking. They remind me of the Dark Eldar stuff in that they do look suitably evil without going way overboard. Hardly a skull in the whole army.

I broke down and bought a box of cultists myself a couple weeks ago. Haven't built them yet, but I've looked over the sprues and I completely agree. Clearly they're bulkier and the design has evolved a bit from the vintage, but I completely agree about their quality. Great figs and really seem true to vibe of the original source material.
-
They came up with a whole narrative to go along with the mining figures, which is really cool and if you don't like it you can always get the cult upgrade sprue and make empire flagellants, imperial guards men or whatever into your cultists.
It was a very well thought out and done release.
Here are some pics of the Patriarch, not useful in SW:A normally, but I'm thinking we may do a game where he is the objective, like he is concentrating on sending mental snap chats to the hive mind of all the fun things to eat on the planet and the objective of the Imperial side is to disrupt him and then get the hell off of the table. Like just hitting him once with a single shot will be enough to break the connection (Tyranid hive mind stuff working a lot like 1992 dial-up internet connections I suppose.)

I also wanted to do some of the neophytes like they started with darker skin. I started with a US Olive Drab from Vallejo and then highlighted it with chocolate brown and then mixed some violet into that to give it a further highlight.
-
They look very good.
I really do not need another set of figures, no really I do not.....
Maybe.

Nice work!
What is the background they are in front of? I like a bit of bright'ish color in my grimdark.
I haven't seen all the new genestealer info (Probalby going to buy the current codex cheap for fluff after 8th comes out) but perhaps you can help me with this fluff question. Should I make the "initiate" new gang members or the more experienced gang "Hybrid" members more alien looking. The more genestealer'ish they are the tougher they look, but the fluff I've seen suggests that perhaps it should be the later-generation, more human guys that would be the more experienced ones.
-
From my understanding the more humanish ones are the 4th generation ones and they are the novices in SW:A, the more alien looking ones are the regular troops in SW:A. Which is confusing because the leader is more human looking.
The background is the tiles from the Death Watch: Overkill game.
-
Had my first game. While I prefer Necromunda power level I had a lot of fun. Played Orks to match my opponents Scouts and felt a little under powered although most of my guys down fell to falling (even had one of my guys fall on second one.. much hilarity ensured :)
-
Ah, yes, toxic slime. I lost most of a Wych Kill Team to falling in one of my first games. Never fun.
-
I had fun. But you have to play with special mindset when you are plaing Orks I guess..
My first move was SkeryGrot - Yoof had to jump 1.5 Inches and failed off course diving 6 Inches down to his doom :D
Only to get extra advancement from What doesnt kill you.. (well... extra battle for Yoof).
My Boss got Medic skill.. Strange skill for a Ork Nob but he is bad moon after all..
But I would be in grim despair if my Dark Eldars would do slapstick sketches like that :P
-
Yeah, it was pretty annoying actually. I was running because I was facing Chaos marines and wanted to get to grips quick. The first one ran, fell, went out of action.
My thought:
"Well how many more ones can I really roll?"
A lot. I think they managed to put two models out of action themselves and the rest of my guys just fell down.
-
I feel your pain.. I once changed the name of my very grim Delaque Dark Dervishes - to The Clowns after just 3 games in which they failed to deliver any grimdark but became kings of slapstick not-very-funny comedy.. o_o
-
I've certainly seen my fair share of clownish behaviour in plenty of games besides this and necromunda.
Like the time I was playing a siege game and the enemy, despite me getting 6 attacks to their 3 and me hitting on a 4+ instead of a 6, killed one of my models in their first assault on the wall. My unit broke, was pursued, caught and wiped out and the castle taken. On something like turn 2 of the game.
Most of the games of Shadow War have not been like that for us though, fortunately.
-
Audentes Fortuna adiuvat.. lol
To stay On topic, my veeeery wip Band (Grots are yoofs) after 1st game, Orks need manpower badly, and few crude photos from the game itself.

Nice looking start to your team.
I have a lot of that Necromunda terrain still. I never painted any of the wall sections, except to do graphitti on them badly.
I need to pull those out and do something with them. I just bought one of the 2x2 section of the Sector imperialis or whatever it is called, the big plastic 40K table on Saturday. I sprayed it tonight when I got home. That will be the base for my 2x2x2x2 table.
-
Skaven... I'm mean really, why wouldn't there be mutant rat men in the bowels of a giant industrial complex? ;) :D
(http://orig07.deviantart.net/657d/f/2017/133/c/c/necro_skaven_by_sykoholic-db91k1u.jpg)
These are actually leftovers from WAY back in the before times when I actually tried making a Skaven gang for the original Necromunda. lol
Nice conversions - I had given them pistols, but they look good with larger guns too.
-
Painting bulkheads gives them a lot. Its just quite boring and messy that why I painted only 1/3 rd of mine..
But I have plans to do the rest :)
I have one set of original terrain from Necro, 2 sets from GorkaMorka, and one Shadow War.
What i lack is small details to provide cover and block lines of fire (except few computer parts and some barrels).
I think I should get Containers set and ideally one more Shadow war box equivalent) and glue up my Sector Imperialis buildings and I will be set.
-
I will take Imps to the field....:)

Had a few games so far with orks and eldar....lots of fun, but not too balanced imho....;)
Cheers,

Those IG are very nice!

why not just use the Deadzone Veer-Myn minis for a Skaven-ish Kill Team

Nice rats...like the yellow. Very cool idea.
Have one more IG.
This time Vostroyans.

Damn you man.. :)
You have mine Guard veterans team.. but painted And very well to that ! :O
-
Vostroyans are really a perfect match with the new terrain. I love all the old metal Guard but they are worthy newer (although still over ten years old aren't they?) Additions
-
Those are some great looking guard on some fantastic terrain. Well done!
I want to pick up a boxed set of Colonel Shaeffer's last chancers to be my guard veterans for Shadow War. In January I sold off a bunch of my Mordians, which I don't regret as I still have the old plastic Storm troopers to make into something but it would be nice to have some Last Chancers to make up the bulk of the force.
Plus they will be a great addition to games of 40K between the Ultramarines and the Genestealer cult.
-
I'm getting some Primaris Space Marines to paint up in camouflage... they'd probably fit in somewhere here :)
-
Nice work with those guard - all of them!
I'm easing gently into SWA - I have completed two - er - teams of 1 assassin each :D
And only one is official (the Eversor), the other being a lashed up over the top affair.
-
Nice Job on those guardsmen forces.
I have an army of plastic cadians with head swaps but I'm not sure they have the charachter I'd want for a kill team.
I've also got a box of last chancers and a small (15 or so) batch of Vostroyan's that would make great kill teams. Just got to get around to painting them...
-
Nice conversions - I had given them pistols, but they look good with larger guns too.
That post was meant to be sort of a joke but....
I made those Necro-Skaven back in the mid/late-90s for the original Necromunda. I had 8-10 of them but most simply had their sword removed and replaced with a plastic Ork Bolter. These two had their sword arm removed and replaced with arms from the plastic Goliaths that came with Necromunda boxed game.
If I remember correctly, several years later, the others had the Bolters once again removed and replaced with swords and were then given to my nephew (flippin' things are older than he is) but I hung on to those two for sentimentality sake. They've just been hanging around ever since.
-
Just caved in and ordered a reinforcement pack of sisters of battle as I have always wanted some and now seems a good time to get them lol
Deathwatch kill team next

I'm building an Inquisitorial force of kitbashed conversions. It's an exciting return to 40K!

In my second game (two different campaigns with non compatible playing groups) my Slaaneshites were absolutely massacred by Orks with tendency to roll 6es.. :V
(https://scontent-ams3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/19055771_10155414416823236_764463873925430371_o.jpg?oh=51620fe635e0d1cfb51d594769401fd3&oe=599C154F)
Only one solitary cultist survived but Ive got two free advances that gave my Champion Scavenger skill - could be the best skill of the game for campaign play and +1W
Models are placeholders as my Chaos team is still in the works, but going fast lately

Made one more Guard Regiment Kill Team....:)
This time Mordians...with a little help from a halfling sniper.

-
Although I haven't got a game under my belt yet. Or finished painting my terrain. Or finished painting my Guardsmen. I have ordered a box of Tau Pathfinders and a box of Tzeentch Rubric Marines to start two new kill teams.
-
Those mordians look great!
-
Here's my first kill team, Praesidio Angelica led by Sister Superior Constance.
Took down some orks on their first outing, with special honors going to Sister Barbara and her storm bolter. After the battle she was discovered to be an ammo hound, which should prove beneficial.

Beauties..
I built today Nurgle team (Nurgle half of the new 40K starter set is Ready to Shadow War) DonVoss
By the insane speed you are making those I get slight suspicion you are repurposing them from 40k Guards lol
-
@Dr. Matthias
These doo look great.... :-*
@Repurposing from Guards
So far everything is newly painted. Some is even stripped from old paint...
Its a pleasure to go throu all the lower parts of the lead mountain.
Like this beauty...could be used as a special event...

-
I suspected that..
I envy your speed and quality :)
Havent finished anything since the last entry for LPL.. :(
-
That could be a great objective, if you set up the table right. The sentinel has some information in it and it has to get it to the other side of the table, the guard are trying to stop the enemy from stopping it. It has long since run out of ammunition and it is on the last of its fuel.
You could even make rules for it running out of fuel and the pilot having to get out and hoof it.

Today I received a small packet from Russia ;)

Inquisitor Gregor (aka Eisenhorn) in 28mm, for my Inquisitorial Kill Team. From ArtelW, a small Russian outfit.

The flash of the camera ruins the detail of the figure but it's an excellent cast. Zero bubbles and flash. I just need to straighten that staff.
-
Nice sculpt and packaging. That's thoughtful.
A quick Google later, they're on Etsy lol

Yeah, I bought it from their store on Etsy ;)

I've retrieved my space marine scouts from my parent's place, 4 plastic snipers 4 plastic pistol and blade, pair of metals of both, launcher and heavy bolter. I should be able to build a team from that! I used to do crimson fists, but marines aren't supposed to have the actual, you know, crimson fist, so I might try something else for these.
-
Today I received a small packet from Russia ;)
Ben eyeing it from the start and I am planing getting it too.
I like Bequin model too, Rest of the shown didn't catch my heart but I will be looking at this sculptor closely.

Dear sir, I must point humbly, that Helena is not Bequin at all. But soon...(https://scontent-bru2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/19274989_222227244954513_2635049891651302521_n.jpg?oh=96e1ca5e0be6d003e049267c63051833&oe=59E764EF)

Ooooh! It's a sign! I've been eyeing that not-Eisenhorn fig for the last three days. I humbly submit to this providential act of guidance and am now off to eBay to purchase the fig. Praise the gods of hobby and game. ;)

Archeology time.
I have had a quick (and not so quick) rummage through my GW stuff.
So, for SWA I have the following projects.
Chaos Wombles:

I found the instructions before I found the Tau figures.

Looks like it will be Lead Legion space marine scouts for me.
