This is the edition of Kill Team, that we use in our club. It uses action points instead of phase system. I think it's much more closer to skirmish, than original Kill Team.
Basically, any model has 2 action points, that it can use to any action, that it can normally do in any phase. So, you can move, then shoot or shoot, then move.
Rules are still experimental, but it can be used to game already.

Any suggestions or critics are welcome.


P.S. Sorry for bad English, of course.

So a similar style to XCOM then, very cool.

Interesting idea. However, my main area of complaint would be the "More saves" section, as it makes some units straight up too hard to kill and some armies impossibly weak. For instance, a Terminator standing outside of cover would take on average 54 lasgun shots to be taken out. Then, when in cover, that would rapidly go up to 81-162 shots (5+ or 4+ covers). And that's even before factoring the Injuries table.

In contrast, a Terminator would only need 6 shots on average against a Guardsman who's in cover. As such, there would be a massive need to rebalance the cost of each model doing it this way.

My biggest issue is shooting into melee. Misses of 1 hit your own guys is a rather trivial penalty and pretty much removes the ability for troops to engage the enemy for protection

All optional rules are even more experimental than core. I'll test all of these rules today for first time.

But you may not use them, if you see that it will bring more disbalance in game.
So, you can use injuries table and not use friendly fire or more saves.

So, friendly fire is really broken. No fire to close combat now.

May be all sucessfull shots will wound random model (friend or foe) or something like this, but I'll think about it later.

NKT 0.3 is out.

Changelog:
- Restriction to duplicating actions in the same turn (so, you can not shoot twice, yeah)
- Explained how the close combat, psychic powers and optional rules work
- Added Gift of Slaanesh optional rule
