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.

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.

In White Dwarf there has been meantion of SM Kill Teams having a too easy of a time against the Imperial Guard and such. WD articles have two solutions to level the field. Bonus points can be spent on special weapons for Brute Squads (plasma hoooooo!) and Nemises rules. Another optional rule has bonus Klaxon Counters given when someone wears power armor and doesn't have the Infiltrate skill.

The current Kill Team rules were cut down from the previous material. There is a lot of space for people to monkey around with the mechanics to even things out.

Aside I agree 100% with using Kill Team to liven up other games. I have a one (or two) day mini campaign where each player gets in one Kill-Team game to see find out where they should be sending there main force.

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.

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.

The Tau sniper-drone teams don't have any indavidual point costs either. It would be a different evolution if GW really did go completely to canned point costs.

Aside I wouldn't be remotely surprised if GW got rid of Kill-Team. They are pretty quick to throw in and then trash varous ideas. Like some sort of horrible mental dissorder.
