Hello,

The local gamers around my area are getting into kill team, I play Grey Knights so I can already put together a fairly competitive kill team but I want to try something new.

I've got a few ideas put together:

Eldar - 8 Fire Dragons w/ Exarch & Iron Resolve.
8 fusion guns that can run and shoot or shoot and run should take care of most things inc. vehicles.
T3 and 3+ isn't the most survivable though.

Chaos - 6 Bikers w/ 2 meltaguns, 1 combi-plasma, all with mark of Nurgle.
All T6 and get a jink save, can't really go wrong with TL bolters, melta and plasma.
Only 6 models so 3 lost and it's break test time.

Daemons - 10 Horrors & 3 fiends of Slaanesh (or 4 screamers).
10 x 2D6 shots and fiends will always hit first in CC. Tempted by screamers and they hit when flying over models and then can swap their attacks for 1 AP2 hit. Plus 4 screamers are much cheaper £'s wise than 3 fiends.

Eldar - 10 Warpspiders w/ Exarch.
20 S6 shots, possibly AP1. Very fast and can shoot and run or run and shoot.
T3 and 3+ save are the downsides.

Necron - 4 Wraiths w/ 3 whipcoils and 1 blaster.
3++ save makes them the most survivable team and they're a beast in CC with the coils. Blaster can erradicate any tougher units.
Only 4 models.

I was going to go with Tyranids with the obvious Doom & 3 Shrikes but that's no longer legal.

If I had the spare time I'd get them all and paint them up. Any suggestions? Are some of these better looking on paper than they actually play do you think?

6 tyranid warriors with devourers worked well for me the other day. didn't think about shrikes...

IG Vets in Chimera, Sgt /w dual Plasma Pistol (Leader), 1x Plasma vet, 2x Melta vet, 1x LasCannon team; USRs: LC - Relentless, Vet Sgt. - Preferred Enemy, Chimera - Shrouded. Local pals didnt like it...
