Murphy'sLawyer Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 This most likely won't happen till Tax Return time but I am thinking ahead. So I have a DA team, an IG team and enough to build an elite Death Watch or SM team. But no Xenos. My thoughts are a Dark Eldar team, an Orc team or Chaos SM. Now I know in regular 40k these armies don't look good but lets look at it from a Kill Team angle. Dark Eldar are quick stealthy and they have several Jump infantry and jet bike options. And the Reavers have Skilled Rider so the heavy terrain is not going to effect them much. Their armor is crap for the most part but cover saves and jinks are going to everywhere. Terrain is going to have to be used to its fullest. My number one choice so far. Orcs are cheap. Orcs have a huge selection to choose from. Gretchens act as meat shields to Everything behind them! And finally Kommandos and Deffkoptas can be fielded and do some damage. Stormboyz..... nuff said. Chaos is my last choice though in Kill Team they can do more than hold their own. They really have brought their power level on par with the other Codexes this time.It really is the DV box models and Warp Talons that do it for me. Also I would make the Leader a DA Fallen that has allied with the renegades. Anyone who has read the HoR Kill Team rules have any thoughts?

PourSpelur Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Orks! Not because I'm biased towards Orks (although I certainly am) but because of the conversion options. Having a relatively small number of figures means you can go all out on each one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketchymon Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I think the dark elder would be good in kill team. Better then my craftworld elder. Most of the core troops have 12 inch range. I do like your DA fallen ideas and chaos seems fun. I am thinking of putting together a non xenos army. I have always liked the sisters of battle and inquisition. Both the figures and fluff. They are expensive but buying 25 to 30 figures seems a lot more doable than buying a whole army. Necrons seem interesting as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Go with the riot police faction. Adeptus something or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted January 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Go with the riot police faction. Adeptus something or another. I will run Judge Dread one day. Right now I am thinking I want to play a non-imperial team. "Adeptus Arbites." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 So I read through the SM list choices and Why oh Why does Raven Guard have to be so juicy? Serriously check it out. A full list with of Jump Infantry with Vanguard lighting claws and an Apothecary in a jump pack. Expensive team but one that is fast and packs a serrious punch. And for those that don't know Apothecaries and the likes are very very good in Kill Team. 6" Bubble of FNP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Having a difficult time here. I picked up a box of Veteran Vanguards and find myself conflicked. Do I make them DA like the rest of my SMs or venture into my second favorite chapter, Raven Guard? Obviously I can just not paint the models till I decided but not owning the SM codex would I be cheese balling it by going with them instead of sticking to my original army or what? Any Raven Guard players out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 And that makes me think of an interesting question for everyone. Is there a second army you always wanted to try but couldn't afford it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroZero Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'velways wanted to do a Dark Eldar Theatre of Pain army. Haemonculi as HQ, Wrack Troops, Grotesque Elites, Pain Engines heavies It would be TERRIBLE competitive wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have to use terrain and the 'hide' rule to get them into battle. Hide is a CC monsters freind. It would be doable as long as the board has the proper amount of terrain. Though I would advise bringing some Reavers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justjokin Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 And that makes me think of an interesting question for everyone. Is there a second army you always wanted to try but couldn't afford it? Playing SpecOps KillZone (Another Kill Team game) is what got me my first Orks and Blood Angles. I have well over 2K of both now... :) Not sure what's next. New Nids? Genestealers were merciless in other Kill Team games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Nids, haven't given them much thought yet since they have been Rare. Nid swarm! "Sergent I am almost out of ammo and their everywhere." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justjokin Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I suppose you did say that in the first couple lines of the OP... :) I just got a little excited when I realized they were trying to be true to the 4th Edition DeathWatch KillTeams, True Grit and all.
