Leader is a standard Jetbike.
Specialists are the two cannon bikes (Split Fire and Move Through Cover) and 1 standard bike. (Feel No Pain)

What do you think?

Split fire is pointless in Kill Teams, as each model is an individual unit (Edit: or does the Kill Team rules hangs Split Fire in some way?). Is Skilled Rider available from any of the specialist tables?

To many points in that Hornet, it can only kill 1 target. @Quanar those 'super split fire' rules where lost in the new rules, replaced with split fire as one of the specialist rules. By losing that hornet and the cannons you can get yourself 5 warp spiders who can fire on different targets and are hell'a mobile. Have a bike be the leader, give him shrouded and turbo boost often for a 2+ cover. Give another spider preferred enemy and a jetbike fleshbane. Lors of very mobile and very killy fire power, which is essential in kill team. In your list all it takes is for you to not go first or get seized on and some armourbane toting heavy bolter to ruin your day.

Split fire allows you split up the shots that your single weapon fires in kill team. Skilled rider is not available.

Yeah I kinda threw the hornet in there for the "watch me move 36" and still kill things" lulz. Spiders are indeed the better choice.

couldnt you just take a wave serpent with a squad of dire avengers or something? id rather have that than what youve got here. I dont know killteam rules, but i know the wave serpent is a lot better than 6 jetbikes.

Can only take units from troops, fast attack, and elites. Cant take any armor that has a combined value greater than 33 (Front+Side+Rear). serpent is 34.

Thank god you can't. Those things are hard enough to kill in full size games.

LOL, DE with venoms would be so funny, even more so if they could be given shrouded.

5 warp spiders 95
5 warp spiders, exarch 105

200

Just a quick one to say we've just removed the spiders from my wife's list, she was jumping and rolling too many doubles, when they're all together the double issue seems less of a disadvantage, when each model has to make their own jump roll...those doubles turn up far too often

While spiders are nice, the warp jump generator is just too dangerous at 200 points (in my opinion at least)

^^^ hmm thats true.

then lots of fire dragons

I ran a list last weekend of 20 guardians (2x10) and a single scatter laser, gave the laser operator the split fire rule and the others whatever seemed right that night...needless to say the scatter more than made its points back, and having large numbers on the field stops the break test issues etc. admittedly only having short range weapons and the scatter made it somewhat of a target, but take out 1 sternguard or an ork nob, and your over cost of purchase, plus theres no way your opponent can take out enough of your team before your in range with those lovely catapults. have to say, in main 40k guardians...not such a fan, in killteam...me like

we've also found banshees to be worth a punt too, with there being no Av 2 on the board, and their acrobatic rule, they can do a fairly good amount of damage, having said that, I want to get hold of some scorpions to see how they stack up...I think an infiltration kill team with scorpions and rangers could be a winner?

Unfortunately you end up wasting a lot of shots with the Venom. 12 shots tends to be overkill when you can only target a single model, and since it's a vehicle can't be given Split Fire.

If you run Harlequins with a Shadowseer, do they all still benafit for Veil of Tears? All that rending, ignoring terrain, and a couple fusion pistols sound nasty.

I had considered Harlies for this. I'm quite certain that the Shadowseer's abilities won't work for the rest of the team. If I remember right it ended up being something like 9 harlies, Death Jester, and 2 Kisses. Give the DJ split fire, and whatever else seems appropriate.

Scorpions also seem nasty. Exarch with claw can kill anything you come up against. Problem is it gets expensive and can't fit too many of them in with all the upgrades.
