Title: Tim in Saskatoon's Kill Team Thread (Grey Knights 22 Nov 18)
Post by: tim in saskatoon on August 14, 2018, 03:16:33 AM
So I may have gone a little overboard with the Kill Team... I picked up the boxed set and the Sector Mechanicus a couple weeks ago and a Space Marine starter set, and the following week picked up the Sector Munitorum and the Astra Militarum Starter Kill Team and some Sicarian Ruststalkers/Infiltrators to add to the Adeptus Mechanicus kill team that came with the boxed set...

I thought I'd start a thread here to share all the Kill Team stuff I'm working on over the next few months.

The first thing I put together was a Tau Kill Team - using Pathfinders I'd painted up for Shadow War: Armageddon and a part of old XV-25 Stealth Suit warriors. (I post these in a separate thread, but here they are again).

Kill Team Shars'uvad

This week I've finished up the first of the terrain I've accumulated over the last few weeks....

Some of the Sector Mechanicus terrain. I already had some Mechanicus terrain that I still have to build from the Imperial Knights: Renegade box I picked up earlier this year, and there was even MORE of it in the Space Marine started set - I think these two pieces might actually be the ones from the Space Marine starters set...

(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MliTLUw4B0g/W3Ip4BC2GoI/AAAAAAAAhf4/wj2HQJiQqnIJgsI-crKlQZXM_J5pWzb9QCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_0120.jpg)

Detail of some of the rusty one.

Detail of the not-so-rusty one.

Assorted hatches.

Barrels and boxes from the Astra Militarum Starter box - there is twice as many as this in the Sector Munitorum box that I have yet to paint!

More about the terrain on my blog:

What will I have next...? I'm not sure, I'm a bit all over the place these days... I guess I should organize some of my existing forces into Kill Teams. In addition to the Tau, I could put together Eldar and harelquin Kill teams as well as Kill teams from FOUR DIFFERENT Astra Militarum regiments!? I plan to put together Kill Teams for at least one Space Marine chapter, Chaos Space Marines, Orks, Drukhari, and ADeptus Mechanicus - so stay tuned!

Thanks Guys!

I've decided to focus on the Sector Mechanicus terrain for now. I have a Ferratonic Incinerator from Sector Mechanicus Kill Zone, a Galvanic Magnavent from Imperial Knights: Renegade and a second pair of  Alchomite Stacks from Space Marine Kill Team Starter still to do (and I suppose the Galvanic Servohaulers could be used in a Sector Mechanicus Kill zone...). Once I'm done that I'll move on to finishing up the Sector Munitorum stuff, and then finally get to work on the Sector Imperialis stuff.

In the meantime, I've finished up the Thermic Plasma Conduits.

(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VoGaYfIhFlc/W3Su0xWraCI/AAAAAAAAhgY/0qL4O9zubNEwgDdsjecMv6DCzeq4_LNzACLcBGAs/s640/IMG_0145.jpg)

Thermic Plasma Conduits.

I've left them in relatively shorter sections so they can be set up in a variety of arrangements.

(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9M3w9BBFOXU/W3Su20-LzFI/AAAAAAAAhgc/FCfMHcaJyaQO30_5giU1sTIbX2DauLyZACLcBGAs/s640/IMG_0151.jpg)

like so...

Here they are with some of my other terrain and some Skitarii Rangers for scale.

There are more pictures on my blog:

http://saskminigamer.blogspot.com/2018/08/thermic-plasma-conduits.html

I'm playing my first game this evening, so hopefully I'll have a game report on the blog tomrrow sometime and I'll post a few of the pics here as well.

Thank you all!

We finally got in our first actual game of Kill Team this week. My son, Finnegan, took on my friend "Other Tim". Orks versus Space Marines! Here are a few pics, you can find a full report on my blog:

Orks dying fast. Being roasted by marines with flamers! Does something smell like someone cooking mushrooms...?

The game went three rounds and then Finnegan's Orks broke and every last one of them (or, the one's remaining!) failed morale and were shaken... at that point he called it.

This is one GW game that I am having trouble resisting.

Me too. The reduced board size is appealing as well.

We got in two more games over the weekend - introducing the game to a couple of the kids' friends.

(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_m6Uzc2j26Y/W3r7olnrL0I/AAAAAAAAhi8/Wb9B9w4yausovy4MwOiji7rVhCwOrZM2QCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_0246.jpg)

First game was Orks versus Tyranids.

(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QyTWCTULWRU/W3r7qDAhC5I/AAAAAAAAhjE/PIw-eAmstxUG9wcYBsvrwK7uqV1W_yUkQCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_0248.jpg)

That's a lot of minis crammed into that little Kill Zone.

(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ECZGam1YBD4/W3r7rXb4sCI/AAAAAAAAhjM/dn3uAjckmuExKqVGm53booBzaTRml9vTQCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_0255.jpg)

for the most part it devolved into a bit brawl in the middle of the battleground with a few shooty types taking pot shots around the flanks.

(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PPCR90Wb134/W3r705sVxyI/AAAAAAAAhkQ/2Nu1vbnyzVcqN_jBU_30wGF0cJv-gTsrgCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_0290.jpg)

Next was Harelquins versus Heretic Astartes.

(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1WK7pZB6KZw/W3r72hINuFI/AAAAAAAAhkc/ueyhljCvu5E7sIAaFWp4yckSXN5xKwiDQCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_0296.jpg)

Again, lots of close combat in the centre of the table.

Monday I finally got to play a game, myself. I rolled out with some Astra Militarum and battled Finnegan's Orks. WE played the Terror Tactics scenario out of the main rulebook, in a Sector Mechanicus Kill Zone.

My Kill Team:

(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gSWbFY4Dj0o/W3xODBiqAyI/AAAAAAAAhlM/iQkOW1HaRsMu--TRo1Qm8fV0W-wjvZh0ACLcBGAs/s640/IMG_0311.jpg)

3 Platoon, 2nd Company, 817th Tallarn Desert Raiders
Infantry Squad Sergeant - Leader - Bolt Pistol
Special Weapon Squad Gunner - Plasma Gun
Special Weapon Squad Gunner - Veteran - Meltagun
Special Weapon Squad Gunner - Demolitions - Grenade Launcher
Infantry Squad Gunner - Sniper - Sniper Rifle
13x Infantry Squad Guardsman - Lasgun

(as this was a quick, one-off game, I didn't bother with all the fluffy names and demeanours and such... I WILL get to creating a fully fleshed out Kill Team very soon... but for the moment I just wanted to get toys on the table!)

(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pZ9q8P1VX4s/W3r7oCpImZI/AAAAAAAAhks/uQYJtqQsQFYCpCbeiqHXfH9ruv9EoxzbACPcBGAYYCw/s640/IMG_0243.jpg)

The Red Killaz - Finnegan's Ork Kill Team
Grodnog Ripclaw - Boss Nob - Leader - Power Klaw and Slugga
Burnanza - Burnaboy - Zealot Specialist - Burna
Garg Bigfist - Ork Boy - Veteran Specialist - Shoota
Shorkarg Da Facerippa - Ork Boy - Combat Specialist - Slugga and Choppa
Ug - Boy Gunners - Big Shoota
Snikar - Boy Gunners - Big Shoota
Tuska - Boyz - Shoota
Scarbad - Boyz - Shoota
Uruk - Boyz - Shoota
Grimgutz - Boyz - Slugga and Choppa
Gizarg - Boyz - Slugga and Choppa
Zagnutz - Boyz - Slugga and Choppa
Slaza - Boyz - Slugga and Choppa
Nukk - Boyz - Slugga and Choppa

Burnanza the Burnaboy roasting a couple of my Desert Raiders.

(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zNB8fZo8dKY/W3xOM0rgD6I/AAAAAAAAhmI/uKIS7o0JIRYHH2kt7VyT9apGobxkJbK3ACLcBGAs/s640/IMG_0350.jpg)

The remains of the Astra MIlitarum force try to complete their original mission of breaking through the Ork lines and exit off the opposite edge of the Kill Zone... too bad I failed my break test before they could get there...

There are more pictures and a full report of this action on my blog:

Should provide enough line-of-sight blocking terrain to start using this Kill Zone as well!

Really nice boards and miniatures. Happy to see some low profile bases here as well, since thats what Im doing with my kill team.

I like how massive the Imperial guard team was - 17~ bodies or so?
Really captures the feel of just a wave of warm bodies being handed lasguns and told to go somewhere. Very cool stuff all around.
Looking forward to getting to try out the game myself at some point.

Tyranids finally faced the Orks... The Orks tabled them in three rounds...

(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QZKtiI3o85U/W4XXQXKbx3I/AAAAAAAAhqY/OVDQ7JObgR8V0n8_OSTnL_dyCtcRxGB2wCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_0634.jpg)

Nice work with the terrain and Kill Teams - and the reports. I particularly liked the simple but quite effective colours on the industrial terrain. I fell for KT too - the size of the board (as others have said) is appealing, besides the small size forces and package of rules in one book.

I know! It is so handy being able to just set up on any table and still have some space left over around the side for paper and cards and dice and stuff!

Well done. You are certainly doing your bit to encourage the next generation.

Resistance if FUTILE!



DAY THREE

Tried out some new scenarios that we hadn't played before today.

Day Four

This wraps up our first Kill Team campaign. Fun was had, lessons were learned. Looking forward to the next one!

We have one more day of 40K, however. The final standings in the Kill Team campaign determined who played whom tomorrow and what Power Level they get to play with.

A full report of the action and more pics can be found on my blog:

https://saskminigamer.blogspot.com/2018/08/kamp-kill-team-campaign-day-four.html (https://saskminigamer.blogspot.com/2018/08/kamp-kill-team-campaign-day-four.html)

Orks faced the Harlequins again, this time they played out one of the scenarios included in the Ork Kill team starter set - Lure of Loot. the Harlequins made off with some of the loot and savaged the Orks Kill Team - who opted for a strategic withdrawal at the end of Round three - having failed a break test which left the four remaining Orks on the table shaken!

(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ImfrrYByokE/W4guflmkYaI/AAAAAAAAhuI/06XThXhA8QYuPV65YaGDQhqbkcJ88xLIQCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_0784.jpg)

Tyranids fought the minions of Chaos again. Trying to capture some taste bio-matter... it was fought to a draw at the end of Round Five.

I also managed to finish up one of the Galvanic Servohaulers I have!

Next...? Probably the Drukhari Kill Team or some more Sector Mechanicus or Munitorum terrain bits!

Wow, more teams? Wish I was that productive.
In the last set of pics I realised what a skeletal look the genestealers have - I like it. And I am a big fan of the muted colour of the servohauler, good choice.

thanks!

Yeah, I see this as being similar to DBA - the forces required are so small I'll probably end up doing bunch of different opposing Kill Teams...

Kill Teams I could field right now, with figures I already have painted:
T'au Empire (Pathfinders and Stealth Suits)
Astra Militarum (from four different Regiments - Tallarn, Valhallan, Cadian and Guaiacan/Catachan)
Harlequins
Asuryani (Dire Avengers and Guardians - have Rangers I could paint to add to the pool!)

Kill Teams I have miniatures for that need painting or need a few more painted to field a team (Mostly stuff I acquired before Kill Team came out):
Space Marines
Chaos Space Marines and Cultists
Drukhari
Orks

Kill Teams I've picked up specifically FOR Kill Team:
Adeptus Mechanicus
MORE Astra Militarum (Tempestus Scions)

What might I add to this...? Well I'm totally going to pick up the Rogue Trader box when that comes out. If they ever came out with rules for Inquisition Kill Team I could totally see doing one of those - mostly with figures I've already got... I could see myself picking up a handful of Tyranids or Necrons - either to use as a Kill Team (to oppose my son's Deathwatch Kill Team) or generic baddies in the Wrath & Glory campaign I'm planning to run... But those latter ones won't be until next year...

A couple more Kabalites for the Drukhari Kill Team. The rest will likely be Wyches.

I also picked up the Deathworld Kill Zone yesterday - so stay tuned for Murder Plants!

Damn this month is going to be hard on the pocket book. Drukhari Kill Team and Deathworld Kill zone... and in two weeks the ROGUE TRADER box is being released!!! I'd like to say I'm done with buying stuff for this... but Damn, GW just keep pumping out fun stuff!!! I hope they can lay off it for a couple months!!

Pretty busy this past week with school and all the fall activities starting up for the kids... I did manage to get all the Death World Forest Kill Zone terrain assembled and a few of the Barbed Venomgorse painted up...

I find the Kill Zone board very busy and have a hard time making out details in pictures of it - including those taken by the professional photographers at GW! I hope I don't lose track of my own guys while playing!

I have two more bits of this Barbed Venomgorse to finish up, then a few bits of Shardrack Spines... Then two other little bits I don't know the names of...? Then I should be done the Death World Kill Zone and hopefully I'll start getting some GAMES in on it!

And hopefully this will all happen BEFORE the weekend when Rogue Trader is released and I get all totally distracted by THAT!

I very much prefer your colour schemes for the plants - mine are still part assembles with just a single one finished, and I've had them for ages (I'd bought the forest box).
Nice work on the Drukhari.

I haven't been updating this thread for a bit... I finally finished up another Kill Team - some Drukhari for my partner, Amanda. She'll play miniature games with us. She especially likes small scale skirmishy games (like Kill Team!). But she has no desire to paint minis... So I always end up painting warbands and other forces for her to make use of..

You can find more pics and details of the entire Kill Team on my blog:

These are STC Ryza Pattern ruins - not specifically for Kill Team - but GW terrain. I'm sure they'll make a Kill Zone at some point incorporating these bits...

Only just seen this thread. Great work on the terrain and the forces, and getting the kids playing!

Have you managed to play your Tau team yet?

I'm building a Tau team (my first non-epic 40k force) at the minute. I've gone a bit overboard on figures, probably have enough for 3 teams! I've made my sniper the one with the ion rifle, so that he can re-roll ones when firing on overcharge.

Drones are a good way of getting lots of flying shots very cheaply (if you accept they will nearly always be hitting on a 6). But you get 12 shots for the same points as an XV25.

Not played yet, so the above is still Theory Hammer.

I finished up the last of the STC-Ryza Pattern ruins that came with Moon Base Klaisus and, along with the other Mechanicus and Munitorum terrain I previously painted, I have a pretty decent set up for a four-player game!!

Finished up a Genestealers Kill Team this weekend.

(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dsG8yQ4226M/W7E5vZZ4KnI/AAAAAAAAh9U/d_3sbnxUfjoAU6tURrJtsKpVFKvkpu6WQCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_1936.jpg)

I painted these the same as the Genestealers I painted for my son's Space Hulk game so they could potentially be used together. Indeed I'll need to borrow one of the Space Hulk Genestealers as this lot only adds up to 88 points.

There are more pics of them and descriptions of the specialists on my blog:

We DID get in a game of Kill Team Sunday evening. Amanda's Drukhari versus my Astra Militarum. This was Amanda's first time playing Kill Team and her first time playing Drukhari... She was a little suspicious when we both lost two troops in the first round (she start with 10.. I started with 18!) I told her to wait for it. Round two didn't go so spectacularly for her as well - mostly because I couldn't stop saving all wounds dealt to me - seriously I've never rolled so many fives and sixes in a single round!? Then Turn three came around and the Flensing Fury kicked in and my team was utterly destroyed...

A full report with a few more pictures can be found on my blog:

I got in a couple more games over the long weekend (Thanksgiving here in Canada last weekend).

Friday night we played a four-player game

(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oKAQpNUqoI8/W7zfHkMDBVI/AAAAAAAAiC0/Zyf9axLTbo0TlioLtj2JgqYPfstgeJvTgCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_2136.jpg)

Drukhari, Orks, Carftworld Eldar and Genestealers.

(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jBQPfo8009E/W7zfJa3l-ZI/AAAAAAAAiC8/JBQdtJ0NHasSTyRjKBcx-8GcGHXsU3-SwCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_2138.jpg)

We played the "Recover Intelligence" scenario - points gained for each objective held at the end of each round.

(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EiQ578h020c/W7zfNBxHgTI/AAAAAAAAiDU/zqUXWXKFYZIwAgjeVZdDb28a86Yd6frNQCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_2151.jpg)

There was a lot of fighting over the central objective marker - as it was worth the most victory points. Lots of back and forth.

Got in a second game on Saturday evening.

(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aroXSoRBBSk/W7zfUfD9sZI/AAAAAAAAiEE/jQdZ6w3OJLM813pNZ3rOC4gHuRqVaUelwCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_2181.jpg)

This time just a two player game with Amanda.

(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_Udb7DbIVtM/W7zfWbYuH-I/AAAAAAAAiEQ/y-feLpzWZOQA1_B1V0l_QjfubeQVaJFFgCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_2187.jpg)

I tried out the Genestealers and she played her Drukhari.

It was a nasty brutal fight. Both sides lost 2/3 of their force. The Drukhari failed a break test on the Second Round - but managed to fight on until the end of Round Four - when the game ended and they won because they had the most victory points.

A report of the action and more pics can be found on my blog:

Loads of cool stuff Tim. Great to see you getting so many games in with the family.

As to making Kill Team simpler for new players, this is definitely worth doing. I've only played a few games so far, and while the core rules are fairly straight forward, each Team has special rules and then there are loads of tactics, the base ones, faction ones, specialism ones and scenario ones.

To start with I would suggest keeping each team fairly simple, 1 or 2 base stat lines, and 1 or 2 special weapons. Perhaps even drop down to 80pts to start with. Its worth keeping the special rules for Specialisms, and for Factions.

But I would suggest seriously limiting tactics for the first few games, perhaps to the 6 basic ones? These are pretty straight forward with a re-roll, and 3 go-first options, and what ever the other 2 are!!

I've built a Tau team, and pretty much every figure is different. This is hard work to start with, as you have to check loads of stuff. And while having read the special rules and tactics and thought about how I want the team to work, this is still loads of stuff to check and remember in game. Our Drukhari player just had Kabalites, with 2 special weapons, and I think the only tactic he used was re-rolls - and while he is an experience 40k player he didn't know kill team and he got on fine. Myself and the other player both had complex gangs, and I don't think we really got to grips with all the specials along with playing the game.

It's been a while since I updated this...

A few weeks ago I ran my big demo game at ToonCon (local game convention - the "TOON" is from SaskaTOON - the city it is located in - not CarTOON! So many people I mention this to think I'm going to a comic convention...)

(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fn-p2s81rwA/W8LnePKRMUI/AAAAAAAAiGU/XIOj4IumvFcTAim8l8oDkXtECHOGmXEEgCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_2393.jpg)

I had four players. Most seemed pretty excited about it. We only really got through two rounds of play, but everyone seemed to have a good time and got a bit of a taste for the game.

More about the convention and the game I ran at it can be found on my blog:

http://saskminigamer.blogspot.com/2018/10/tooncon-2018.html (http://saskminigamer.blogspot.com/2018/10/tooncon-2018.html)

This past weekend I finally got a little Kill Team campaign going!

(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HRubrA9gp2s/W9ZVaUnVTrI/AAAAAAAAiK0/uAzisVnnmRgoacHYMFNhw3JYO6cjyP_HACLcBGAs/s640/IMG_2626.jpg)

The first game was Harlequins versus Drukhari in a Deathworld-like Forest (can you even see them in there - the colours of the two teams turned out to be almost perfect camouflage for the Death World Forest terrain I painted!?)

(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Awl4Li3xyls/W9ZVcqiXa4I/AAAAAAAAiLA/1fNETEfzVYkRothFXt4TlSSND_QtskjcwCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_2630.jpg)

The other game played so far was Genestealers versus Orks.

I did pick up the Wall of Martyrs Kill Zone (because... I'm a bit on an idiot). I finished up the first section this past weekend...

I am curious to see how trench raising works in the 41st millennium! I think I'll need to finish up a few more sections before trying it out!

Thanks!

I under coat everything in black. For reds like this I like to do a base coat with a deep red - usually one from Army painter... Chaotic Red, I think...? Then highlight with a brighter red... a Vallejo one.. it's either 947 or 957 - to be honest some might be painted with one, and some with the other depending on which one was closet to grab on the day. That's it.

This past Friday I got in a few games of Kill Team.

First, in the afternoon, I met up with a fellow from the local 40K league at out FLGS for a couple of quick games - I brought the Genestealers and Chaos Kill Teams to battle against his Adeptus Mechanicus Kill Team.

The first game was against the Genestealers. We played the Take Prisoners scenario. I think we both ended up capturing one of the others, so it ended in a draw.

In Game Two I played the Chaos Kill team in a Terror Tactics scenario. I had to opt for a strategic withdrawal at the end of Round Four, despite being ahead 9-7 victory points, because I had to go pick up my kids from their friends...

Good fun though...

You can see a few more pictures of the games on my blog:

Later in the evening we played another round in our new campaign on Xoxigar!

My Astra Militarum finally entered the fray against Bruce's Tyranids - which have added some newly recruited (newly painted!) Tyranid Warriors and Termagants to the Kill Team this round. My Guaiacan Commandoes laid an ambush for the hated Xenos in the Deathworld forest Kill Zone.

Elsewhere the Harlequin's of the Blood Orange Ballet faced Darukk Jawbusta's Orks amid the chipping crates of the massive Munitorum facility at Haldivar Starport.

Monday I got in another game - this time my Astra Militarum Guaiacan Commandoes versus Amanda's Drukhari...

(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PDlQMfVExjw/W-3HYZHVplI/AAAAAAAAiSY/Sy4odPuY8lwPCp4u2go8Y8wDdVjGrv3TACLcBGAs/s640/IMG_2923.jpg)

Fighting in the Deathworld forest (of course!)

It was a short, vicious, brutal affair.

I picked up a few old metal Grey Knights from a local Bitz Exchange a couple weeks ago and was able to make a Kill Team out of them:

I Just need a Justicar to lead them (ordered one from The Troll Trader last week!)
