Are you thinking kill teams or inquisimunda? Kill teams are just 200 point lists.

I love Kill Team.
Keep an eye on this post, and I will populate it with help shortly!

OK, so Kill Team.
One of the most fun formats to play.

The base rules / requirements ARE:
Max 200pts
0-1 Elite
0-2 Troops
0-1 Fast Attack
Must be at least 4 Non-Vehicle models.

No Models may have a 2+ Armour Save or more than 3 Wounds.

No Vehicles may have more than 3HP or a combined AV greater than 33 (FA+SA+RA).

No Reserves and No Flyers.
Any units that would normally have to arrive by Deep Strike are instead deployed at the start.

Also remember that while you must pruchase whole units and meet any requirements (i.e. 5 men to get a special weapon), when on the field each model acts independently as a seperate unit.
This means that any gear bought by a single model, that would normally affect the entire unit, does not.

Your min. 4 models will be your Leader and 3 different Specialists (chosen from Combat, Weapon, Dirty Fighter, Indomitable and Guerilla lists).
All models, including vehicles are scoring, unless their rules specifically state otherwise.
Fully 1/2 of the Kill Team missions are objective based, so bear that in mind.
(I really need to put this into a pretty picture the amount of times I've done this...)

You can face some crazy stuff in Kill Team, such as several Bikes, large hordes (up to 40+ models) and multi-vehicle lists.
For example, my Dark Eldar Kill Team is 5 Warriors, 3 Wracks, a Raider with Dark Lance and a Venom.



For an Inquisitorial Warband, you can't really take an Inquisitor sadly (though you may be able to kit out a Priest as one?), and you only really have 1 Warband to play with. (Unless there's specific rules for it in the Inq book... I'll go look!) nope.
Fortunately, one Warband can include a CRAZY amount of stuff in there.

The key parts (for me) in a Kill Team list are to include at least a little anti-tank and a little anti-horde.

Pretty picture done!

Oh I do love your work Nerdy.

You could do something like:
2 Crusaders (Sword and shield) to camp on objectives
1 DCA
7 Acolytes w Boltguns
1 Acolyte w Chainsword/Plasma Pistol
1 Acolyte w Plasma Gun
1 Razorback, Psycannon and searchlight

Maximum of 10 henchmen per warband sadly. Looking forward to what you come up with

GK Henchmen are 3-12 per squad.

Ah o.k

So I can't really have an Inquisitor per se? but I can kit out 9 guys as 'henchmen/accolytes' with bolters and plasma:

7 Acolytes w Boltguns
1 Acolyte w Chainsword/Plasma Pistol
1 Acolyte w Plasma Gun

I can make a sweet sexy death machine:

1 DCA

and 2 guys which are the crusaders but I can make them 'look' inquisitorial' right?

2 Crusaders (Sword and shield) to camp on objectives

and then a Razorback for hooning around in!

I'm thinking of making the plasma gun guy my 'heavy' guy, so a big brute with a good size to him and a big plasma gun, pretty imposing and battle worn

acolyte with chainsword and plasma pistol I want to make like a preacher/firebrand! skinny and frantic weilding chainsword like a conductor with a baton!

7 acolytes with boltguns, old skool boltguns, almost a mercenary look for some of them maybe theme a couple? perhaps pirate,mongol,Aussie?

Assassin will be just a damn creepy and sexy lady, not sure whether to go ninja/assassin style or harlequin/circus performer?

and lastly but probably most important the 2 crusaders swords and shields right! looks like I need to go bits huntin' they need to be imposing but believable so again i impose apon you to throw ideas to me!


I love this! Lol but don't get distracted! spoilered due to bad language not suitable for everyone!

Is there a specific henchmen type that you wanted to use? I was just playing around in Army Builder with that list. Some of them, like the psyker, are pretty worthless in Killteams (and not Killteams).

Na not really Whaley, I just wanted to give myself a base for what to convert and create :-)

Cool. Those are the only 3 types I've used, apart from the monkey (which I don't think would do great in KT).

How is the dog filled vacation going?

Thanks Whaley I'll use them as my base for building the little blighters some time :-) gonna take a while to get some bits suitable to use!

and my holiday ....was.....good! and now i'm back on day shifts! I had such a busy time in the second week getting stuff done and only found solace in taking a pic each evening of the fuzzy kids to chuck on facebook for my 'Dog a day on holiday' I hardly use it and thought it a good way to stay in touch with people! or just show them my big willy......

I should be able to get a bit done on the sharks this week though :-) looking through the Badab pics it looks like they all have the lower faceplate done in off white? but I can't really tell due to the way they do the artwork? bronzey rivets and banding I can see ;-)

Easier to tell on the MkIV dude. You are correct though.

I must have missed something in an earlier post, whats you doing with them Sharks?

In addition to the Primarchs, Damo is doing up a thousand point list of Sharks for me. Real basic stuff, so it could be used at Adepticon TT without taking up any of the "extra" slots.

Oh this should be good.

Darnit you beat me to the punch damo. I was planning on building a space sharks army for nyc but theres no way i can do it when youre already doing it v_v. Le sigh.

Oh Chadlance! do not fret! in fact I encourage you! I want to see how you'd do them :-) I'm doing a table top force for Whaley so if you spend the time and use the mass of talent you've shown us recently then I honestly couldn't come close dude!

I hope to chuck up a little w.i.p on Sat of the Sharks, should only be base colours and some washing, but that's the hardest part for me lol! then i just shoot through and finish them!

Never enough Sharks swimming around Bebop, you should go for it!

Looking forward to seeing the nerdfest touch on a new project, always a good time (for us anyways).

You realize you are absolutely too kind. But you're good for my self confidence! I can assure you that probably nothing interesting will come of it. Space marines are not my forte and I've very little experience painting them. I've been trying to think of an army I can play in NYC, using public transit, so that means they have to be portable and pretty low in model count. Doesn't leave alot of options left. And for some reason, grey marines just remind me of the old days of 40k. So. Yeah. Space sharks. That was my thought process. Lol. But you'll be here to help me and keep me inspired!
Ps sent you a pm

You could do a Deathwing list painted as sharks with like 30 models at 1850. Could fit that in a small Battlefoam case without issue.

Trust me bebop! Whaley know's his stuff! let him guide you like a sensai my son....

What up! & happy Saturday everyone

I mentioned a little project i'm doing for Whaley!? well, I started it proper today, a 1000pt Cacharadons force and it's coming along 'swimmingly' already assembled they arrived to my door and I went about priming and washing them, once dry I laid down the base colours I wanted, bronze trim, dark grey pads, white lower helms and red lenses, even now they are looking sweeet! they won't take as long as Fulgrim etc. as I'm whipping through these guys at Table top level which is the same as I do my own marine stuff!

here's where i'm at with the project so far! even managed to squeeze a bare head in there, it looks a bit odd due to the lower jaw but he looks o.k with the squad and when you hold him in your hand










I also got the black armour on Lemartes finished, I like the look and as usual it'll be the details that make it work!

HOLY feth!

Where the smeg did you get this head from? He's horrendous looking.

Great toning on the armour. (as usual). Jaws looks great.

The coolest interpretation of that scheme I've seen using local fauna for reference?

lol, yep local fauna for reference! had to tip a great white out of the dogs water bowl the other day! :-)

the head is half marine and half possessed head! I need to get someone to make some more for me, my job was a tester but I liked it more than i thought lol!

Mate they are looking awesome. Don't know much about this chapter but the overall grey tone is really going to make your spot colours pop.

I should add, as an aussie I find land based sharks (let alone space based) just terrifying...

Yeah, these guys look sweet! Really liking how the colors work together. How were the shark pads? Look good in pics, worth the price you think?

Looks like one of them is giving into his sharkier side. I can probably make more heads down the road.

Don't forget to build a fast attack fleet of tornado speeders. That way you can make a diatomaceous to match......

Hey, I Finished a Shark this morning to see what it'd look like I wanted to do these guys at a table top level for speed of painting, I hope they still look decent enough for you whaley? they are primed in a grey then washed with black and have a single highlight in fortress grey on the high points the bronze is tin bitz washed black and re covered with tin bitz and of course.... other parts are painted







I quite like the result and should be able to nearly get them done this weekend or at least a good way along!
