Hi i recently read some fluff about a Lamenters chapter of space marines.
I wanted to make a kill team of them.
Since they seem to be an unacknowledged blood angels group i was thinking of using the death company listing for fielding them.
Do you guys think its ok to use this unit entry?
my squad so far is 5 guys 3 with powermauls all with boltpistols and a rhino with two stormbolters.
I think the Feel no pain of death company suits the fluff of these depressed hard done by marines.

i was hoping to find some horrible cheesy setup that would make them unkillable if anyone knows any Space marine units that can be configured this way please tell me
like a death star or smash fether prime equivalent for kill team

Kill Team literally prevents death stars and super powered characters. That's the whole point of kill team

Yeah i figured as much but im not very familiar with space marine codexs.
Just trying to find the best unit to represent the fluff, since they have been on a crusade for like 87 years without recruiting new members i imagine the few surviving members would be real tough cookies.

That seems a solid idea fluff wise. Yes some people try and exploit kill team to make it cheesy eg spamming a swarm, but Kill Team is about having fun with quick games. I think Kill Team is one of the best form of 40K to play. I like to try and keep a balanced list to counter this and that, but at the end of the day I run a list because it looks cool physically and can have a good backdrop story to go with it as well.

Points to consider in Kill Team:

Make sure you have something anti-vehicle; krak grenades, meltagun, or missile launcher etc, just in case someone throws a fast moving infantry killer at you.

Having something anti-swarm isn't necessary but is good insurance. Anything with a flamer template generally does well in Kill Team because theoretically you could wipe out 50% of the opponents list in one hand flamer blast etc.

Make sure its fun! Trying to be the big cheese with a cheesy list utterly ruins Kill Team for the other person. Kill Team is a great way to make your miniatures personal, you can convert each model and say well this is my specialist as you can see by his upgraded ... Give it a plausible history to show how the team fits together as a team. Kill Team is about giving the individual model a personality that means something unlike the generic squad X has been obliterated oh well...

I hope your Kill Team goes well, looks individually great and you have fun playing it! Don't forget to keep Dakka updated with your progress if you want as well.
