I'm going to participate in a kill team-campaign in 2 days and wanted some advice on what I should run for a 200 pts kill team. I own several armies so i came up with a couple kill teams for each army before sitting back and looking at them to decide which one would be best to play.

Things to know;
FOC allowance = 0-1 elite, 0-2 troops, 0-1 fast attack
200 pts to build kill team
Models fight as individual units
3 specialists models may be given any special rule from rulebook
No Vehicles

Personally i'd take the Black Templars. Stick your TH/SS at the front for the 3+ invulns, march them at your enemy, smiling menacingly while you do it. If you get there you've won. If you die on your way across the board, blame the dice rolls.

the models fight as single units, it's kill team. Having the TH/SS upfront wont really mean anything unless they are targeted. They can simply be ignored

No line of sight rules? Surely if all 5 models are operating as separate units then the basic rule of not being able to shoot through one unit to hit another would apply? Just be clever with your line of sight and hide your LC's behind the TH/SS. Moreover, if they're operating as a single unit of 5, the 6th ed rules mean the guys at the front have to take the shots, so in either case having the TH/SS guys there can only be beneficial.

They are separate units of single models, that's how kill team games usually work.

Hiding 3 models behind 2 would proof quite difficult specially considering how other units will also be spread out and targetting from different directions.

Sad to say your plan just doesn't work in kill team games. TH/SS won't be there absorbing wounds, their use is more inclined towards bashing in a character or leader in close combat.

I like the sanguinary guard one. The problem you'll have with the black templars termie one is that as soon as you face a shooty kill team your as good as dead because your opponent will just avoid you and shoot you to death, but with either ba kill team you'll have superior mobility in most cases and still be good in cc.

Nothing stops you from shooting past one unit to hit another. The rulebook even tells you what sort of cover save the target gets when you do that. Since it's 5+, the Terminators already have that for an invuln, so it's not even a real benefit. When they're a single unit, having TH/SS at the front just means they'll force you to resolve armor saves first in the case of mixed wounds and diminishes the value of SS for soaking plasma.

You need to get across the board in kill team. Go with the Sanguinary guard.
