Hello,
I working up ideas for a Skitarii kill team to play in my local leagues. Both leagues are pretty laid back, everyone plays to win, but we don't get as much of the insane cheesing you sometimes see in 40K games. I wanted to make an effective list that'd be fun to play, but can still be viable. Our meta is pretty diverse too so I'm expecting to see a bunch of different armies. The terrain is also going to shift around between matches so somtimes it might be thick, other times it might be thin.
I came up with a few ideas I was thinking of trying out.
Specialist Focused
190- Ranger Alpha w/ Omnispex
115 – Ranger w/Galvanic Rifle
115 – Ranger w/Galvanic Rifle
115 – Ranger w/Galvanic Rifle
175- Specialist with Plasma Caliver
280 – Specialist with Arquebus
This list would bring a specialist with a plasma caliver and one with the arquebus. From what I understand the Arc Rifle is a bit meh, but I could be wrong. Meanwhile the Ranger Squad would move with the Alpha who could call out target for the group with the Omnispex.
Power Rangers
190- Ranger Alpha w/ Omnispex
115 – Ranger w/Galvanic Rifle
115 – Ranger w/Galvanic Rifle
115 – Ranger w/Galvanic Rifle
115 – Ranger w/Galvanic Rifle
115 – Ranger w/Galvanic Rifle
115 – Ranger w/Galvanic Rifle
115 – Ranger w/Galvanic Rifle
This list seeks to maximize the number of rangers out on the field at the start with Galvanic Rifles. Like the previous list, the Alpha acts as a point man with the Omnispex. The idea seems solid, but I was unsure about not taking specialists, especially since the Skitarii seem to have that as their focus, and the lack of heavy weapons might be a bummer.
Highway to the Danger Zone
220 – Ranger Alpha with Omnispex
115 – Ranger w/Galvanic Rifle
115 – Ranger w/Galvanic Rifle
115 – Ranger w/Galvanic Rifle
100 – Flesh Forged with Galvanic Rifle
165- Specialist with Plasma Caliver
165- Specialist with Plasma Caliver
Same combo of the rangers with the Alpha (with a fleshforged thrown in to bring an extra gun and stay in points). This list brings two specialists with plasma. This runs a major risk of self bottling with a weapons explosion, but the plasma brings a lot of heavy fire power to the mix.
Radium Mixer
210- Ranger alpha with Omnispex and Radium Pistol
115 – Ranger w/Galvanic Rifle
115 – Ranger w/Galvanic Rifle
115 – Ranger w/Galvanic Rifle
100- Fleshforged w/Radium Carbine
100- Fleshforged w/Radium Carbine
100- Fleshforged w/Radium Carbine
145- Specialist with Arc Rifle and Photo-Vison
This list seeks to bring a balance of longer ranged shooters with the rangers and shorter ranged meatshields with the Fleshforged. The Alpha carries a upgraded pistol to give him some better combat capabilities and the Arc Rifle gets the upgrade that can help negate cover.
These were the ideas I was thinking of. Has anyone run something similar or have any critique for the lists? I'd also love to hear ideas if anyone has any! Always happy to try new stuff!
