Hi, I played in a kill team event last week at my local club and we're going to have another one this week (It's hopefully going to be run more smoothly this time)
Anyway I have since realised that I couldn't run a shaper as my leader since he's a 3 wound model and really didn't kill anything so I decided to return to the drawing board and I came up with this;

Elite

XV8 Crisis Shas'Vre
2 Burst Cannons
1 Fusion Blaster

67p

Troop

18 Kroot W/ Sniper Rounds
1 Kroot Hound

131p

Leader
Crisis Suit

Specialist 1
Crisis Suit - Preferred enemy

Specialist 2
Kroot Hound - Smash

Specialist 3
Random Kroot, haven't decided what to give him yet probably ignore cover

General strategy is I have snipers... and the suit should kill loads to give him better rolls on the leader table plus he gives me some AT if I need it.
And since you can deploy so close in kill team the kroot hound can get a turn 1 charge off and probably kill something worth a lot more than him and if not the enemy will be farther away than would allow for quick assaults on the rest of my force.
All in all 198p & 20 models of, hopefully, effective death.

Edit 1: Realised I didn't ask for any opinions... please tell me what you think!
Edit 2: Removed the system jammer since it wasn't legal (assumed 'cause of the commander)

Just remember, your hound has no armour save so the max kill you will get with it is 1 before it gets killed by a las gun/bolter.

of course, like I said he's just there to maybe bite someone's face off, I ran 4 last week and they all met fittingly grisly ends on the enemy's turn 1 but they always made they're points if they killed anything.
Heck in my first game they killed the enemy leader who was a 60 point cc beast of a space puppy and then the enemy used all of their shooting to kill them (only 4 other models with bolt pistols).

Lol! It's great when moments like that happen! If I could I would so take a kroot ox just for the lulz but I can't :(
