Shadow War Armageddon- what Kill Team are you planning?

[Bloodaxe]

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!

[The Voivod]

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!

[spect_spidey]

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?

[Michka]

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.

[Jagannath]

Thanks both - I'll get browsing, Seems a good excuse to paint up some 2nd edition metals...

[Pictors Studio]

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.
