I haven't played the new Kill Teams rules but have a game Thursday so I am hoping to get some help making my list. I played the 5th ed rules a few times so am familiar with the general design.

The game is for a summer campaign that my group is doing so i have to use BT Chapter Tactics and I know i will be facing necrons. I will also have 3 objectives I have to control so need to either be able to kill a lot of necron or have a lot of bodies. Here are a few lists that I have thought of.

Option 1

Dreadnought with Assault Cannon and DC
5 Crusaders with Heavy Bolter

Option 2

6 Crusaders with Heavy Bolter and Melta Gun
6 Crusaders with Heavy Bolter and Melta Gun

Option 3

7 Stern guard

Option 4
5 Stern guard and an Assault Cannon Razorback

Any help to decide on with one to run would be great!

My game is tonight so any help is appreciated

Option 2 is your best bet, maybe drop them down to 5 man each with ML and Plasma since your meltas will probably get focused down before they get to shoot and the rockets are incase of wraiths or other things with 3+ armour or multi wound

2 or 4.
2 gives you alot of men that will be harder to kill. i would drop meltas for plasmas. you wont ever be in range.

4 gives you a tanky deathstar feel. but if the bring a antitank gun it wont be good.

How about this then?

5 man crusader squad with HB, PG and 1 Neophyte
5 man crusader squad with HB, PG

Comes to 200 puts even.

Would give 1 HB Split Fire, a PG Feel no Pain, and other HB Ignore cover

That sounds pretty good.

Do SM Dreads have a LS value now to take in KT?

Dreadnoughts are not legal in in any Kill Teams ruleset that I know of.

I would favor running option 2. You have the weapons to deal with a range of opponents, as well as the bodycount to survive.
