Has anyone seen reasons why Kill Team should be only 250pts?

Pls n ty!

Because KT is supposed to be very small. But there's no set number. I've done KT games from 100 to 500 points.

Generally speaking though, 200-250 points is about the right mark for a tight game.

My mates and I usually play KT at around the 200-300 point mark. We found that to be just right.

Sounds great!

When doing 500pts, do you remember there being any particular faults or failings in the game for it?

Thank you very much for your responses!

I'm considering smaller scale than standard armys, but still not neccessarily a "small" game, however

Using HOR i have played up to 400 points and every game has been fantastic. Honestly i prefer it to 40k. I would like to find a way to expand it to cover a full board.

Some problems can occur when there are too few models spread over too many units. The wound mechanic in HOR needs revising as it again favors horde armies.

Yeah, at 500 points, certain codexes are really able to lay down the law with specialist units. At the smaller points, you have to make decisions when choosing your team, you can't just take everything. And you have to balance model cost vs upgrade needs. By 500 points, you just dump everything you need and shoot your opponent off the board by T2 (because there isn't enough space to hide your stuff on T1 if you go second, so you get a significant disadvantage).

In the end, KT is a game about Your Dudes, and smaller games lend themselves to that better.

I appreciate the feedback!

Has HOR proven better than stock GW Kill Team?
I've heard its a bit too heavily home brewed and changes too much... have you found this to be true?

I think for the most part it is very well done and allows for a much more tactical experience than can be done in normal 40k. Again there are some problems like the wound system making it far too hard to kill models. Sometimes climbing can prove a problem for low initiative models as they just can't ever climb up anything. Overall It is a decent system ,but may need some additional fixes depending on your gaming needs.
