I attended GW's first Kill Team tournament yesterday and had a awesome time with it's fast pace and fantastic games against 8 opponents, so much so I've decided to attend it again in April.
But rather than take my Legio Cybernetica Kill Team I'm planning on something a lot more awesome; The Outcast Dead.

In case you haven't read the Horus Heresy novel ‘The Outcast Dead’ tells the story of a band of marines from the traitor legions during their escape from a prison on Terra though the slums of the city with an Astropath that held powerful knowledge of the future. The armour they obtain was batted and salvaged so they’d be converted from Ork, Chaos Maraduer and power armour bits.



They were a powerful group of warriors and considered of...

Atharva - Adeptus Exemptus of the Thousand Sons; A Powerful Psyker however they have removed the ability to make a psychic specialist.
Tagore - Sergeant, 15th Company of the World Eaters he must be armed with a power sword to represent the shattered halberd from a custodian guard)
Subha - Warrior, 15th Company of the World Eaters
Asubha - Warrior, 15th Company of the World Eaters
Severian (The Wolf) - Warrior, 25th Company of the Luna Wolves A warrior skilled in stealth he'll have the shrouding rule.
Kiron - Warrior, 28th Company of the Emperor's Children This guy is a master marksmen and never misses a shot with his Plasma Carbine
Gythua - Warrior of the Death Guard

The theme has a lot of potential as I could have the astropath Kai Zulane as my objective marker.

However before I worry about 'specialist rules' I need to find a codex/unit that will allow me to field 7 marines that aren't too well equipped (remember most of the weapons aren't either stolen or ramshackle) but I want them to be semi-competitive.
So far the best option is a squad of Death Company marines with feel no pain, rage and furious charge which seems fitting given the kill team has 3 world eaters and a death guard, only downside is I can't arm my marksmen with any long range weapons. But I'm interested to hear if anyone can suggest another 200pt unit from a different codex to represent 'The Outcast Dead'?

Would sternguard or wolfguard or vanguard vets or chaos chosen work?
