Seems like Nids would be a great choice for a Kill Team. Very inexpensive point-wise (even with devourers), and only one or two Synapse creatures needed to hold Synapse. Main reason I ask is that my local GW is having a Late Night event on 10/31, and we are thinking about playing quick Kill Team games so that everyone who wants to play can.

So, are Nids a good choice... especially the Swarmy kind?

Thanks

They can be very good, I'm actually a big fan of kill team. It offers a very different way to play the game!

I have never actually played as nids but I did face them in a kill team and lost to them with my guard.

Suggest the Hearlds of Ruin typeset. It's really good but I haven't kept up on it so I don't know how updated it is.

Nids should be good, sneak in a dakkafex

I second the heralds of ruin rules. It really balances kill team.

I've had great success with nids in kill team, my genestealers are actually pretty good. I usually like to pack a biovore too because it forces my opponent to not group close together and gunline me while I run up and tear them apart.

Another for the Herald of Ruin rules. Pretty balanced, with fun customising options.

I just played some hor the other night after only having played standard. Gotta recommend it if just for the fun army building.

Where do you find these rules?

I've read the regular rules and really want to play but not found people with interest.

I'm thinking of running something fairly simple and swarmy:

Troops
11 x Fleshborer Termagants
11 x Hormagaunts

Elites
2 x Zoanthropes

Enjoy!

Another vote here for Heralds of Ruin KT. It's my preferred way of playing 40k, especially when my friend and I are using the campaign rules for it.

Heralds of Ruins are usually the only thing I play - It's fun, fairly balanced and can be a blast with close combat centered forces, like Orks and Tyranids!

I like the idea, played some versions of kill team. Did not like most and hated some.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
The problem with it is that most rule sets greatly favour one army / or type of units above the other.
Especially when they introduce extra rules such as awareness sight based on I stats.

I haven't played but I've seen a few games I feel they off that nice change from a giant slogging army to a more personal elite team which can have much more narratives thrown in. I'm really keen to give this a go just need to find some more
