My entire team consist of models from both Imperium magazine and First Strike. It is also my very first KT:

Intercessor Sgt. with bolt rifle & fists
Assault Grenadier
Warrior w. bolt rifle & fists x2
Assault Warrior x2

(I only have lite rules so I'm skipping equipment)

There's a comic shop that has one Legionaires team but otherwise does hordes. I think I may try Stealthy or Sharpshooter as my tactics, but I would like your opinions about it.

I would also like to know if I need to purchase any heavy intercessor models.

I'd definitely replace Sergeant's basic fists with any special close combat weapon - it is a straight huge upgrade at no cost or downside. Just glue a spare sword in a scabbard to his belt or back to show that he has a power weapon and you are done.

Also for one of the Warriors choose the Intercessor model that has an underslung grenade launcher - once again the Gunner with the grenade launcher is a straight upgrade compared to the basic boltgun Intercessor.

With that minimum effort the team is fine.

Intercessor Sgt. with bolt rifle & power weapon
Assault Grenadier
Gunner w. bolt rifle and grenade launcher
Warrior w. bolt rifle & fists
Assault Warrior x2

If you are willing to buy/perform a more involved conversion, the Sniper could be a good replacement for one of the basic Warriors/Assault Warriors. Heavy Intercessor, on the other hand, is not particularly needed.


An important thing to remember, however, is that you do not need to really build a "list" in KT. One of the Set Up steps is choosing operatives for the game. So if you just have a Space Marine collection, bring more models and choose the ones that strike your fancy before each game.
