Back in the 4th edition rulebook was a set of rules called kill team. They featured a small group of commandos trying to sneak past the guards to complete whatever objective they had. It was a good idea, but I always felt that there was so much more that could have been done with it. So shortly after 5th Ed came out, I started rewriting the kill team rules into an expansion similar to Planetstrike. Every few months I would remember it and make a alterations, or add a new page. I posted it on my regular forum, and they helped me develop it a lot. Eventually I figured I'd post it on a larger forum to get more feedback, and here I am.

These rule are by no means final, so please, post anything you think could improve them. If there's something that could be added, or should be removed or changed please let me know. Any questions, please ask, and I'll answer them as best as I can. If you want to write a fluff piece or make some art that could be part of this project, let me know.

The rules can be found in pdf form on my deviant account, here. The discussion thread on SecondSphere is here.

I like the Narrative Points mechanic, though I might suggest for cinematic purposes giving the defenders lieutenants (possibly breaking a comp rule to do so?) that can also use Narrative Points could be interesting. Set up more than just one villain for the encounter, that sort of thing.

That's a pretty good idea. I'm thinking I could give the defender the ability to pay 10-15 points to upgrade a model to lieutenants, and say that having more than one lieutenant is breaking a minor rule.

I hadn't considered Lt upgrades.

Would/should the Lts have access to all the Defender Narrative Points, or just a small pool?

I'd say all of them. The entire Kill Team has access to their pool after all. Besides, it's simpler this way.
