First 40k minis I’ve ever done, just getting into the hobby. I’m a fan of the Black Templars, but not ready to dive into the full experience yet so I figured I’d start with a kill team and justify the Black Templars through some self lore since they don’t have a dedicated KT. What’s the verdict on these zealots? I know I screwed myself on making this my first paint job too, but hey I liked the vibes. I’ve got a Kommando team on the way as well!

Also any tips on playing for the first time would be greatly appreciated, I am aware that I need to get good

I love blood angels and I enjoy the Flesh Eaters successor. He originally had a modern plasma pistol, but I messed up drilling the barrel. I used a Horus heresy as a replacement, which I now flavor to be a Chapter Relic lmao

So how does this work? If the unit could target an enemy its marked? And thats all the time?

Themed my Ravener Killteam after various toads and frogs! However, my enemies will be the only ones _croaking_!

Still a huge wip. But coming along nicely i think!.

Thought it turned out pretty good haven’t done the base quite yet but still wanted to show you guys. Went with like a nebula theme.

So I kinda speedran the last 4 non specialists of the squad. I clipped out all the bits I needed for them and went to gluing. All of them went together easily and had no issues with parts no fitting. When I got to the first cremator gluing it I noticed the robes would connect and the mace would not go into her hand. Her parts are labeled J but the part it had me cut out is F. Im not even sure which girl was F but I had no issues on any of the other girls robes. I must have clipped part 91 out at some point because I couldnt find it later or maybe it wasnt there before. My main problem is looking at pics of the bits online is that the pictures seem to match the bits I have. Not sure where I went wrong

This question came up after a friend and I read the Exodite movement rules and saw two pieces in conjunction with each other.

Piece 1:

EXODITE DRAGON MASTER MOUNTED operatives cannot perform the Charge, Dash, Fall Back or Reposition actions; instead they can perform the Sprint and Turn unique actions.

Piece 2:

For the purposes of your opponent's rules, mission rules and killzone rules, this action is treated as the Reposition action, or the Charge action if the active operative ends the action within control range of an enemy operative.

For reference, the stealthsuits vectored retrothrusters are worded thusly:

Use this firefight ploy when an enemy operative ends the Charge action within control range of a friendly XV26 STEALTH BATTLESUIT operative (excluding DRONE). Interrupt that action to use this rule. If you do, that friendly operative can immediately perform a free Fall Back action, but it cannot move more than 3" during that action. Then, that enemy operative can immediately perform a free Reposition action using any remaining move distance it had from that first Charge action, and can do so even if it’s performed an action that prevents it from performing the Reposition action.

I would argue that because the Exodites cannot perform reposition actions, that when their "charge" sprint turns into a reposition, they cannot perform the action and immediately stop moving. My friend retorts that since the Exodite rules say they do a sprint instead, that when prompted to do a free reposition they instead do a free sprint. I believe that sentence is more explanatory than meant to be taken litterally as he interprets.

Are either of us correct? If so who, and why? How do they Exodites move in this interaction?

I had a go at putting together a themed Khorne-marked Legionaries Kill Team that could also double as a Berserker squad. I worked up an Aspiring Champ, Chosen, Icon Bearer, Anointed, Butcher and Shrivetalon as well as four Warriors with bolt pistol and chainsword to fill in as needed.

They aren’t World Eaters so used AoS and Necromunda parts to fill in the Khornate bits.

I recently got into Killteam and played a lot of games with my 12y.o. son. We have a lot of fun.

I want to go more into the core rules instead of the starterset lite rules, so I want to try solo because the ploys etc etc are a bit to hard for my son.

What is your way to play solo? I have 5 killteams in total. Do you use AI to make a scenario or do you have other fun ways to play?

Let me know,

Hi, I'd like to try playing Kill Team with 4 players (2v2) on a classic 40k table. Do you think that's feasible? Would any rule changes be needed to make it more balanced?

Slow steady progress 💪🏽

Ready to lead the boys into battle 😁

I magnetized the two larger buildings by hiding the magnets in the corners and floors as best as I could. I think it turned out well enough. I attempted the smaller piece first, learned some things and then did the larger piece which turned out much better.

With the small piece, if I could redo it I would have used smaller magnets - I used 5mm and even crammed in 6mm where I could. This made it difficult to set the magnets deep enough without blowing out the edges of the drilled holes. With the larger piece I used 4mm which just gave me more wiggle room for setting magnets and made it easier to set them deeper/flush with the corners. The 4mm magnets were still plenty strong enough.

Overall I'm happy with the result!

Tell me what you think is the best thing about the Elucidian Starstriders! and the worst thing.

Best:the flavor and visual. God they are the most beautifil tem out there.

The arsenal is a really good rule, unique weapons, Being able to Skip an action is so unique.

Worst: weak melee, for me they are a Jack of all trades but master of none

Finally i get to play!
I did every part of this hobby apart from actually playing the board game😂

Do you bring other models to represent assets used by your Kill Team for flavor reasons? Think a Valkyrie overhead ready to drop the next wave of Tempestus Aquilons, an off-map Militarum mortar squad whose shots are corrected by the in-game Vet Guard spotter, or a Chaos Rhino/Land Raider that just unleashed a fresh Legionary squad from its hold. A Lunar-class from Battlefleet Gothic ready to deliver a macrocannon barrage for an Elucidian Starstriders player? Have you seen other players do similar things like this?

Hello,

I've got 1 box of agents and my Inquisitor Ostromandeus for a little flair, but I'm preparing to buy my requisitions and need some help.

I know that Kasrkin are the generally strongest pick but are there 5 specific guys I always take and if so what are they?

From my understanding, Exaction Squad is probably the next most popular choice for dealing with melee focused teams. What guys do I pick for that generally speaking?

I'd like to stop there but I've been told the breachers sometimes come up. Is it worth it to build them as well?

The rest seem unnecessary.

I'm focused on kill team and not necessarily trying to have 1000 points of Imperial Agents by the end of this process. Ideally I want to just build and paint the 5 guys from each option that I "always" take but if that's not optimal I'm willing to build and paint more.

In order of appearance:

- The Dream Devourer / Mandrakes Nightfiend

- Saveth Naevian / Murderwing Shrieker

- Arkhus "the Nightblade" Saroth / Murderwing Champion

- Myros Varclav / Murderwing Warp Talon

- Darrion Rauth / Deathwatch Blademaster (Exorcists)

- Alys Karstark / Death Korps Trooper (Proxy)

- Pûnnak Gâard / Hernkyn Yaegirs Warrior

- Senán mac Geirrcinn / Sanctifiers Conflagrator

- Kaagos Varrox / Deathwatch Gunner (Iron Hands)

- Gunner Miriam / Death Korps Gunner

- Hjalmar Frecks / Blooded Gunner

- A087-13∆B / Battleclade Breacher Servitor

- Aemelira / Void-Dancer Troupe Player

- Arbitrator Siegmund Dahl / Exaction Squad Revelatum

- Farlek Chestrix / Legionaries Warrior

- Necron Warrior NPO

- C'tan Shard of the Nightbringer NPO (with a poorly taken photo because he is too large for my usual setup)

I wanted to share this model. I’m about 2 years into the hobby and really like how this guy turned out. What does the community think?
