I'm looking at participating in my first kill team tournament in a week and I have no idea what to take. I hate doing Tau just because that seems like the obvious choice these days. Does anyone have a favorite list they could share with me?

Here're the rules: 200 points, NO HQ, NO Armour Value, 1+ Troop Choices, 0-1 Fast, 0-1 Elites, 0-1 Heavy

I've been using Blood Angels when I've been playing kill team with the following list.

- Sanguinary Priest w/ storm bolter and power weapon
5x Tactical Marines w/ plasma gun
Veteran sergeant w/combi plasma

It's the most economical way I can find to get 7 models with FNP and FC, plus adding a little plasma to guarantee some kills.

Isn't the priest an HQ?

How about this using my crons:

3x Destroyers
6x Warriors

The destroyers are T5 jump infantry and have an AP3 S5 24" rapid fire gun preferred enemy everyone. Do reanimation protocols work under kill team rules? I haven't committed them to memory yet.

No Armour Value???..What is meant by this ..

3+ on destroyers

hiveguards! hiveguards are pretty broken in kill team. 2 hive guards and 3 warriors. That is a lot of wounds and you have str 8 to bring to the table against other multi wound models.

Oh, sorry, you were reading our house rules. Basically nothing with an armor value so no vehicles, most walkers, etc.

hhhmmmm...I happen to have some IG on hand as well. How would this play out:

1x Platoon Command Squad
1x Infantry Squad, Mortar
1x Infantry Squad, Mortar
3 Mortar Heavy Weapons Squad

That's a lot of long range indirect fire blast templates flying around. Just stick the mortars in cover and let the lasgun dudes run around and do their stuff.

Can the platoon squad give orders???

Ok, strike a lot of my ideas. After doing some googling, if that is actually a verb, how about one of these:

Grey Knights
Strike Squad: 1x halberd, 1x psycannon, 6x swords, psybolt ammo

or

Necrons
Wraiths: 2x whip coils, 1x caster pistol, 2x regular

I would go for a five man sterngurd with a few upgrades. Or Sternguard with Sanguinary Priest. Its worth it for me...

I would take an Imperial Guard Veteran squad with either 3 grenade launchers or plasma and two grenade launchers, with a storm trooper squad with power weapon plasma pistol and 2 grenade launchers.

Use the infiltrate special mission with the Storm Troopers so they pin and fire templates around you'll kill something with AP 2 plasma, AP 3 hot shot lasguns and krak grenades and frag grenades

REAVERS!

9x reavers. Done. 198pts. I wonder if a game has ever tabled an opponent in the movement phase ^^

Alternatively

6x reavers w/ 2 cluster caltrops and arena champion with power lancee192 pts.

If you to give special rules then give stealth to one reaver and shrouded to another (2+ cover when turbo boasting) and preferred enemy to caltrops. Nasty!

We had a local game a there was a guy running dark angle plasma talon bikes. at that point level I think you could run 3 with some upgrades. I don't have the codex in front of me.
