Hello Internet,

As you can tell from the title, I'm a bit of a hobby butterfly whose current goal is to settle down and paint 1000pts+ of the same 40k army. Also interested in AoS, but prefer playing 40k. My current interests include:

Craftworlds
Necrons
Drukhari
Crimson Fists
Harlequins
Orks
T'au
Death Guard
Thousand Suns.

Phew! Next time I'll list what I don't have an interest in to shorten it!

Welcome aboard, E3DD.

I’m just starting a new army myself, some Sa’Cea Tau. Which army currently holds your fancy?

(PS: Hobby Butterflies do great with Kill Team. )

I'm currently starting a combat patrol's worth or Craftworld Aeldari, and I've got a larger force of Necrons arriving soon. I've also been considering a Crimson Fist Kill Team.
My issue with Kill Team is that Kill Team focuses on troops. For example, I love the vehicles of the Drukhari, but not the troop choices. Any ideas on how to tackle this issue?

No... KT is about a single squad-level of models. I guess what I mean is, that there are a lot of Kill Teams where two boxes of models is enough to make a "full roster" team with lots of options to substitute.

For example, a Box of Tactical Marines and a Box of Scouts makes an excellent Kill Team. A box of Tyranid Warriors and a Box of Termagants makes a great kill team. A box of Ork Boyz and a box of Gretchin... if you don't mind some konvertin' of the Boyz, makes a good Kill Team.

If you get bored with painting one faction for too long, you can always paint up a Kill Team to break the monotony... and then have a "complete" army for the game.

I was through with 8th edition, but wound up collecting KT's for Nids, Necrons, Tau, Grey Knights, Orks, Marines (using existing stuff I had) and Guard (using stuff I had).

My boys (11 and 9) like to play now and again, so we have lots of variety and it was great for me because I could try new things, paint a unit of stuff I wouldn't necessarily want to build an army out of. Great for the hobby Attention Deficit.

Which of course lead me to expand the collection of Tau into a proper army... you know how it goes.

(PS: I'm liking 9th so far, but I also liked early 8th...)
