Wow, good stuff. I be that has been a fun project.

My brother and I would be willing to try out your rules sometime. We are in the middle of a Horus Heresy campaign and we like to mix in Kill Team games and other special scenarios throughout. For the last Kill Team game we played, we used a mix of the rules from HH Book 6 and the old 4th Edition 40k rules with brute squads! It made for a very flavorful game and cinematic game, but of course pretty one-sided with a kill team of Death Guard against small squads of Auxilia infantry wandering about.

Battle report on the blog here:
http://xhorikwar.blogspot.com/2018/08/horus-heresy-battle-report-7-extraction.html

And on Dakka here:
https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/762385.page

I just bought the new Kill Team game and we were thinking about trying game using those rules with our Horus Heresy models for the next mission in the campaign. So we could definitely try out your rules, but we will just be learning the entire system since we haven't played it yet.

I present my take on Kill Teams: Age of Darkness. Click the image to download (8.5m).



It contains rules for creating Legiones Astartes Kill Teams, Thematic rules for all 18 Legions,Shattered Legions, and Blackshields. Over the next month I hope to add the prose introduction and setting detail, Narrative play details, Solar Auxilia and Mechanicum teams, Commanders (challenging!) and a Gallery section.

As this is the Playtest edition it marks as the start of a long process. There will, of course, be errors, typos, and missing references. Some of the legions will seem OP compared to others, I’m still coming to grips with them. Your feedback is vital. I’ve created this topic to track this but if you don’t want to post feedback there please PM it to me.

Call for Images and or Help: This is a huge job. If you are interested in helping please let me know, artist and writers especially. I’d love to get some images of minis to put in this project for this is an open call for them. There is of course now compensation, for anyone including me, but full credit + a link to website/blog can be included. Please PM me if you are interested.


Corrections List - Due for version 0.2 on Saturday 1st Dec '18
-Sire of Iron Warriors tactic references Word Bearers, change to Iron Warriors.

Glancing over it, looks pretty neat.

One error that popped out was on the Ultramarines Tactics page (pg 35) the top of the page says "Emperor's Children Tactics"

My gaming group is looking forward to testing this some!

Oohhh there's plenty of errors in there lol. It's a first draft and I was getting keyboard-punchy towards the end :')

Thanks for the kind words. What would you like to see included?

Looks good! I'm a bit apprehensive about the "one Tactical Marine for every other Marine" rule, but aside from that solid!

The only things I can point out that haven't already been:
The Tactical Marine entry has some mixed entries? The statline references Tactical Support, as does the keywords, but the unit options refer to them as "Tactical Gunners". We all probably know what it means, but it could just do with fixing (as does a typo on the same page, "Demonlitions")

The entry for the Boarding Shield is another one - it references being "in cover" - is this the same as being obscured? I didn't think that the +1 Armour Save was a thing in Kill Team, but "Obscured" was? (Also another "Demonlitions" typo).


They/them

That's some really nice work that has been done so far!

Me, a friend and my girlfriend would be interested to help you to carry on this project! We're gonna playtest it someday!

Is there any part that would require more test than others?

Back in the saddle after a very, very strange year... working on legion specific elites over the next two months.

Looking to include a lot of painted models in it if people would like to share, full credit and a link to a blog/site will be given.

Hello comrades!

Been a long time since the last post was made.

A mate of mine and myself have been playtesting some of the rules, is this still in development or has it been shelved?

Battle on brothers!

It's effectively been shelved for the past year and a half but now I find I have literally nothing to do... so give me a week or so to format it all.

Thanks! Custodes page layouts will be finished this morning and Sisters started this afternoon.

Also looking at re-working the Nerve test modifiers/abilities/tactics as there is a lot of overlap and redundancy there.

If anyone has caught errors or omissions please let me know so I can fold them into this update.

Monday WIP:

Work has begun on 'Scions of Heresy' the elite expansion for KT: Age of Darkness. I'm working on a new, more thematic, layout style that bridges both HH and KT, spoiler below. It's still a WIP but pretty happy with it so far. Before the next version 0.4 KT:AoD I'll change the layout to match.

I have also encountered my first real stumbling block, pictures of elite troops from the Black Books. I will need to have a think about what can be done... Lots of time in photoshop seems likely

Have a great week everyone!

Call for Miniatures!

Phase one of the Kill Team: Age of Darkness project, the ‘core book’, is coming to an end and the thing it is really missing is a miniatures section. Rather than cobble together one from GW/Forgeworld sources I’d like to put a call out to anyone who might be interested.
What I need is clear, well lit, good-to-high res pics on a monotone background for the following factions:

• All legions (a mix of Tactical, Assault, Recon and Siege Marines if possible whether they are specialists of not)
• Shattered legions
• Blackshields
• Mechanicum
• Solar Auxilia
• Custodes
• Sisters of Silence
• Militia and Cults

The miniatures will be displayed exactly like the image below, using GW minis as an example, and will come with your credit and a link to your website/blog/social media.

Please get in touch if you are interested or share with someone you think might be into it.
Thanks, O

Just found this!! Thank you so very much for doing this!!

All skill is in vain when an angel comes down and pisses in the flintlock of your musket.

…And if you mean heretic due to the fact that I detest your rotted, pathetic, corpse of an emperor, then yes, I guess that I qualify there also…
