Bear in mind this is my first post, so this might be in the wrong section.

Recently, my school has been holding a kill team tournament. I seem to be doing badly. To be fair, I had some dodgy rolls, but I think it might be either my tactics or army, too. I played against Orks and space wolves.

I have been using 2 terminators, 1 with an assault cannon, 2 deathwing knights, and 2 tactical marines (1 with a plasma cannon)

Any tips would be GREATLY appreciated, in terms of either tactics or army list.

I was thinking of buying an assualt sqauad, or even using 1 or 2 of my devestator squad. I heard someone used a psycher to some effect, and I know one person who just used a terminator squad and did well. Ravenwing may also be effective. Would an HQ like Belial be worth the points?

Sorry if this was long-winded or anything... as I said, it's my first time posting. Thank you!

EDIT: I was playing a modified version of G.W. Rules, with some liberties just to make things more exciting. For example, one person only used three models because I didn't give him an advantage. Sorry, I probably should have said this earlier.

What version of Kill Team are you playing? I'm guessing it's not the GW one (Psykers don't do anything in that), is it Heralds Of Ruin?

Beyond that I'm not much help - haven't played hardly any Kill Team. Though I'd imagine taking Belial would be dissapointing (he's only a bit more survivable than three terminators, and has far less damage output than three terminators, which isn't saying much to begin with). A Plasma Cannon also isn't likely to hit more than one person (due to being more spread out) so I imagine a Plasma Gun would be more effective?

We'd need to hear more about this Kill Team format. Terminators might not be the best choice.

Just edited it. Sorry for the confusion.

Throw us the format rules dude and we'll help you out?
