So Sunday i will be doing a small local tournament for 40k kill team, with the generic gw rules. Three specialists, no fliers, no 5 wound+ models ect. Looking to make a decently competitive ultramarine list. I am leaning towards tacs to abuse the twin linked for a turn.

200 ultramarines

tac squad-99
6 models
1 has a plasma cannon

Was thinking i could give the two plasma cannon guys either stealth and the other shrouded, or give one relentless and the other slow and purposeful. Then a random tactical marine gets feel no pain or something???

swap the cannons for guns imo.

well guns could only kill one guy per turn, cannon can snag a few with blast

I'd go Heavy Flamer in one, and Cannon in the other, have the cannon just lobbing shots while the enemy tries to close on the second squad with the flamer. Flamer has Feel No Pain, Cannon has Shrouded, Random Marine in Flamer squad gets Fearless in to prevent breaking in an Assault.

And maybe drop a marine out of the flamer squad to get a Vet Sarge and give him Something for flare.

When building a list for killteam, you need to think about you leader.
At the end of each game, you get to role on an awesome table. This can really benefit you in later games.
Your leader HAS to be the highest leadership character. So include a veteran sergeant and jazz him up a bit.
Make him into a killing machine, therefore you score higher on the table and get even better buffs for the next games.
This then makes your awesome leader, even more awesome, meaning he can kill even more people in the next round.

5 man TH/SS therminators... woot. lol.

Sadly th ss termys cost 225 now :(. And I originally ran plasma guns... But the cannon just seems so fun and I love the model haha. So that is something I am on the fence with. Here is an alternative list, trying to make a cool leader for the Kill team I suppose.


Veteran sergeant
Plasma pistol ccw
(Better LD and he stands out as my leader)

Other sergeant has a plasma pistol as well

6 bolter marines

2 with heavy bolsters.

To clarify this is two combat squads technically but still legal

give your vet sgt. a power sword.

I would forego the powersword and give him smash...then stick him in with the flamer

Relentless on the cannon works well, but so does ignore cover...


I ran the Noise Champion with the doom siren and smash and killed a lot of guys with him in this format

Oh my gosh, smash on him would be awesome!!! I love that idea! Thank you!

I still would think to drop the plasma pistol for a power sword, just for sheer awesome ness. vet sgt. with a power sword is a scary dam thing in the fluff haha!

You don't need the power sword if you have smash...

Ap2...kills termites, too
