Hey guys I just wanted to here out your thoughts on kill team matches. I just went into the LA Bunker tournaments and I got second place out of about 30 and received a $15 gift card. 200 points, independent characters, 4x4 board and special missions. Personally I liked it and I would have got first but I miss calculated my points. Lord of Caliban was in it too. What are your thoughts on kill team matches? I think 200 points wasn't that fun because it was more probability than anything.

Love them.
They need a few house rules to really work but once finished they are brilliant fun and really quick...

This. I think it's also cool that you can model up your squads to represent famous units, E.G. characters from a Black Library novel, and see them kicking arse the way they should be.

I don't see why not...
You could have an IG list called the Last Chancers...
You could have Eisenhorn's Retinue or the Kill-team in Traitor General... they may not be the most competetive lists to take but they would be fun.

Ya their fun but you need a lot of people. Do you go to local gaming stores or GW?

I love the idea of kill team, but the sparce rules and support for the format really ruin the gametype.

Kill team can be played on a 3x4 or 4x4 table, allowing more players, and is fast enough to do best of 3 rounds in 1 hour or less. This means that your results are LESS dice dependant. 5 best of 3 matches with a 1 hour lunch break from 12 to 6 is more or less ideal for a sunday or sat tourney.

Ya but your vets were awesome too. Remember the one guy that took almost 10 saves and past them all? That was funny.

The Kill Team rules in Battle Missions utterly pales in comparison to those found in 4th Ed. IMO they should release an entire book dedicated to KT, one of the best ways to play 40k.

I would love to see a renewal of 4th Edition Kill-Teams, though with some updated rules for some of the grunt squads. As anyone playing Tau as the mastermind can attest, getting a bunch of Gun Drone squads is fething useless.

Me and a couple buddies of mine actually put together rules for Capture the Flag in 40k, using Kill Teams as the basis for it. It works pretty well, and a game ends in no more than an hour and a half, compared to the 3 it generally takes for a full game out our FLGS.

I find them extremely boring.I only play Kill-team at my FLGS when they have events on.They allow you to use anything,as long as it is not a vehicle.Do you know how easy it is to win when someone Orbital Bombards you,and you have to kill the guys under the marker,not spread it out?Vindicare Assassins are fun though,as are lictor's.Deathleaper and a lictor are deadly.Just show up and slaughter.
