Kill Teams

Subject: Kill Teams Mon May 19, 2008 10:12 pm

From what i have seen, kill team games have started to gain a little momentum on thursdays. but the message really hasn't made it past the "make a date" forum yet. I was just wandering if there was any other interest, for then or on saturdays.

The appeal of kill team is that its quick in a time crunch I think I could find a few model to make speicifally for the team thats also the interesting thing is that its alot of custom work involved.

off hand I don't know the rules, but I'd probably be down for a kill team.

Anyone else agree that marines on either team during kill team ruin it somewhat?

I feel like it does, not if they are the kill team... but as the brutes i feel like it does.

As brutes they are terrifying, but there are less of them so, in theory easier to pick-and-choose. But i will have to trust your expertise on this one.

As brutes they do skew the game, but they may also ruin it if they are the Kill Team. You can get 5 vets with power weapons or fists for that 160pts, so no extra brute squads, no extras on the baddies, etc.
And as brutes, T4 and 3+ save is just hard to kill sometimes.

Its in the main rulebook sean.

Yeah as brutes they are really tough.

Kill team is easy to break though, better to play for fun imo.

This will need a major overhaul come 5th. Most codex books don't have individual points costs any more.

I think i'll throw together a kill team though. I'm afraid that tit will be marines tough Sad

Also, I found that playing heavily themed games was always a lot more fun when it came to playing kill team. Tying them into campaigns and stuff works wonders too.

PS Matt you can alway prefrence Scouts. Break mutal-laws to beef up the goons like taking models from different until sellections or just buy up several Sgt Vets.

That will spice up the enemy nicely.

Subject: Re: Kill Teams Tue May 20, 2008 11:09 pm

yeah scouts are way fluffier too.

Problem is, if i go with the DA codex... there are no individual point costs for those models. Same with most units in post-DA released codex books.

just another sign that kill team is either going to be gone, or changed radically in about a month.
