Played my first game today. Loving the system, feels like there is a lot more bad luck and swing protection than in 40k. Played with the stuff I had, so not quite an optimal list. Not impressed with purestrains too much. Loving shotguns over autogun. Definitely see the wisdom in keeping my leader cheap, at least until I maybe pick up an aberrant with more survivability, as I lost mine early and it hurt. Loving flamers, and stubbers were nice for their cost (or lack thereof). Didn't play with an icon, though they seem very strong on paper.

I haven't playtested acolyte fighters as of yet, but on paper the rocksaws still seem strongest. I think I want to run the full complement of 4. I have some OLD school hybrids (2nd ed) that I could paint the swords of as power weapons, as I can't really imagine a way to convert them to the rather nebulous concept of what a rock cutter should be represented as. They are distinctive models, and there should not be any opponent confusion as to what they are wielding as they will all have the same setup. I also want to utilize all of these old models I've have unused for a long time without buying new ones.

I definitely want a demo with flamer, heavy with stubber. For my third specialist I'm edging away from making an acolyte fighter into a combat or zealot, as I feel they are already a prime target. Maybe the single acid maw genestealer as veteran to make sure he gets in combat, or the single neophyte hybrid as something. Not sure what they can be that's good.

Quick and stupid question about the Kelermorph. This guy has 3 Liberator guns, does that mean he can fire with the 3 of them every round?
Thanks!

Has anyone built a solid core that can also transfer over to Necromunda easily?

Unless otherwise stated, the model attacks with all of the ranged weapons it is armed with

Ok so 3 pistols = 3 shoots/turn. Thanks

Also, and on first glance this well seem contrary to the injury rules / FAQ, but the Kelermorph bring armed with three one shot weapons means you declare one target, go through the whole attack sequence, then declare another target with the next gun, and do it all over again - which MEANS that you can get up to three separate injury rolls against a target! This is crazy strong.

What's more, if your first shot kills a target, you don't lose your further shots (because you haven't allocated them yet) so you can target another thing, and then another. Meaning you can adjust your next target based on whether the last one died.

The Kelermorph is not just the GSC's best shooter, it's potentially one of the best in the game. ESPECIALLY if you run it as a level 4 shooting specialist, with re-roll 1s to hit, +1 to wound, ignore obscurity and +1 attack!

Yep, multiple guns is awesome (but multiple melee weapons is not because melee starts with all attacks being allocated)

No, but I built a solid core that transferred to Kill team easily! Bought the battlebox 1 year ago, turned out to be perfect. The vehicle can be used as the caravan in Necromunda, the genestealer boss can be used as a brute or a scenario monster. Even bought the 40k objectives, it has a perfect genestealer objective.

Unfortunately there are tons of weapons in Necromunda that are not available in Kill team.



All packaged nicely:

The genestealer boss (broodlord) can be used in KT if you play a commander mission.

I started with the Kill Team base game, and recently picked up the GSC half of Tooth & Claw. Hoping to kit out my Kill Team in such a way that it will perform double duty as a reasonable Necromunda gang as well, I was hoping for list building advice with my last post.
