Thanks the goo between the skulls is actually just Blood gor the Blood God which isn't that visible at this angle, but is vividly red when lit from above.

I was wondering if I should replace it with the Dirty Down Rust wash (which really should be called Diarrhea In A Bottle, because of how glossy it is even after very long shaking) but my wife said that she really likes the contrast so it stays

Plenty of diseases can cause blood thinning states that result in death via exsanguination, so I think it is neat.

I was actually working on a concept for my own plague units along a similar line, focussed on spreading a plague that leads to widespread bruising and haemorrhages. The Ecchymosites.

I was thinking along the same lines, and I like the effect. Will post some in-action shots of the team soon

So, I have bought the Gang Stronghold Necromunda terrain set for my desert/wasteland mat and I think it is great value for money for a KT player. It's enough terrain for the entire board, especially if you use spare parts to create Light Cover barricades (you don't need too many railings for vantage points in KT anyway). I was also pleasantly surprised when I discovered that parts of the battlements are interlocking, so leaving them unglued will allow me to create many different combinations of walls and corners!

All in all a good buy. I am about to finish detailing (I want a Chaos outpost) and KT-ing (for example blocking many smaller firing slits or other questionable LOS lanes) it and tomorrow or on Monday it should be ready for painting.

Nice looking set!

I posted some details about finishing up my Octarius Kill Team boxed set on my blog.



You can read the blog itself and see more photos on my blog if you are interested:

Note, this is not the actual Octarius set, it is a Starter Set. Nothing wrong with it, pretty good value for money! Still, terrain definitely lacks what was in the actual Octarius set - ramshackle walls of an Ork fort. These provided ubiquitous elements of a KT battlefield - heavy terrain, obscuring terrain, LOS blockers, vantage points.

A thick board in the Octarius set is also much better than the paper mat in the Starter, as you have noticed yourself. You can buy mats for KT from other companies, though, and I recommend it for the variety of surfaces you can choose from.

Thanks for the clarification. That explains why it was so cheap.

Its been a while as I don't really play Kill Team anymore, but regardless I'm slowly putting together a Void Dancer team. I'm still working on a Shadowseer and will need another box of Players, but I've at least finished the Death Jester...

Looks good. I look forward to the paint job. What chaos faction are you trying to represent?

Nothing specific, just some Chaos stuff to make it less like yet another generic Imperium buildings that KT has had more than enough already. I will post some photos once it's finished soon, but tbh, I am really hoping we'll get something cool and Xeno in the next season - basically, after this cool Ork shanty town from Octarius, every time another KT box was announced I was thinking "oh, Imperial terrain again, so disappointing, maybe the next one will have the insides of a Tyranid ship, or a ruined Eldar temple in a jungle, or a Tau outpost or a Dark Eldar torture dungeon, or..." and every time it's just more dull, generic mechanicum structures :/

Anyway, a few pictures from today's game - I promised to show my Nurgle Legionaries in action

It is! I posted pictures of it a couple of pages back, when I finished it.
(also I believe these are model train hobby trees - they were very cheap and appropriate for this table )

I have painted up a Blooded Chaos Guard team. I call these guys the Levellers and those familiar with some British history may know the reference.



These are not the GW models, but a 3rd party 3D print. If you are interested in learning more about these guys and the process, you can take a glance at my blog.....

Very nice models, good painting, those shields look brutal!

I enjoy playing my Blooded a lot, an interesting team, a lot of potential but nothing too oppressive, so fun to play both with and against.

So true. I would love some more terrain that isn't human related.

Finished working on the Gang Stronghold set. Spiced up just a little bit to look like a Chaos outpost. Also some work went into making it more KT-friendly (for example blocking some potential firing lanes, fire slits etc). Other than that perfect KT terrain, an affordable set, providing enough terrain for the entire board. You can glue more railings together upside down for more Light Cover barricades too. It's also modular so you can combine walls and corners and towers together in interesting ways.

A small progress update - an Enforcer for my Blooded. Has already played and was a sight to behold, killing two Eldar Corsairs, wounding another and scoring several points. My man!



Also a couple pictures from our latest games:

Struggling about in Asmos territory.

I still don't understand how killteam works tbh, would like to make a killteam from spare units someday but its all veiled to me..
(I have bought and built seperate killteam units already into main lineups though, but always understood killteam as that you could make some sort of base template out of whatever mini's you wanted?)

Got my Farstalker Kinband fully assembled and now I'm starting to paint them. Floating between Peachy's and the Painting Coach's YouTube videos for painting them. Both have great schemes and I almost want to have a mixture so my band is a little varied.

I am not sure I understand the conundrum. So do you have dedicated KT minis or not?

The current edition kind of allows building teams out of generic core troops, but these are mostly uninspired "band aid" rules for the begining of the game's existance, when there was not enough bespoke KT teams to play with. These are going to disappear in the new edition this October (?).

If you have models from dedicated KT boxes, just use them. To check their teams' composition consult Wahapedia - those are this edition rules but team composition is very unlikely to change.

My latest KT project finished. Actually my second Kommando team painted, but the first one was a quick, generic paintjob on my friend's Octarius set* when we were still learning the game. As a long time Ork fan I had to have my own, distinct Kommando Kill Team, not least because they are really fun and characterful in game (and strong too!).

Thanks, guys

I like the fact that I started my adventure with this edition with Ork Kommandos and will close it playing Ork Kommandos

I hope they are as fun in the new edition as they are now (after these necessary nerfs to their board control and toughness).
