So I’ve already made a KillTeam with each of the two factions I play (IG & Tyranids) and am buying the KillTeam start up box for the terrain, board, tokens, and rulebook.

I have zero knowledge of the two KillTeams that come with it, Adeptus Mechanicus and Genestealer Cults. Even though I’m not buying the kit for the models I would like to build them so that they form a decent KillTeam just to give myself options and have the ability to pick from 4 teams to play with.

Anyone have any info on how to build the 2 included factions? I definitely don’t want to mess up and load them up so that they are over 100 pts but don’t want to underload them either. Is it even possible to build the two factions up to or close to 100 points with what you get in the box?

Any help appreciated.

Skitarii yes, GSC no. You'll want a second box of GSC to achieve 100 points - any of their kits will do. Thier maxed out loadout is 77 points with just a neophyte kit.

I’m not sure on what a good load out would be but if you grab some genestealers from your tyranids then both can build a 100 pt list. The Skitarii start at 9pts/model and Neophytes start at 5 and top out around 10 for a couple of the special weapons.

You’ll be getting the rule book which has all the point costs so at very worst you can play around on paper before you build them.
