Greetings all,

My first painting for 2024 was a quick Kill Team. The Hand of the Archon is now painted up and ready to hit the table. I all ready had a Craftworld, Harlequin, and corsair team so it seemed appropriate to get the Dark Eldar team. It looks like I am the "space elves" guy at the True Crit Gaming Guild.



I used Armypainter Speedpaints and got the whole Kill Team painted in about a weekend. If you are interested you can see the full process on my blog here:

Apart from the red shoes, which feel off, these Dark Eldar look great, Easy


And for everyone - what's your experience with Blades of Khaine? On paper they seem pretty weak, and extremely vulnerable with unreliable save, low Wounds and few operatives and offensively they are also not that impressive. But I heard that they are doing well in tournaments. What's the recipe for their success, if you can indeed confirm that they can be consistently successful?

Its so they can click their heels three times, and get the hell outta there at a moment's notice.

Casual gaming, mostly solo-coop these days.

I recently just did a 5-day Challenge to paint up a Sisters of Battle compendium Kill Team for a Narrative Campaign we were starting at my local.



You can see the progress from day 1-5, some DIY terrain I made, the Sisters on a board, more Hand of the Archon, and other stuff on the blog that maybe of interest to Kill Teamers.

My first wargaming of 2024 was the start of a Kill Team narrative campaign.



The Hand of the Archon takes on some Vet Guardsmen during the Siege Perilous around Powellington.

My Hand of the Archon were fighting for the forces of Chaos, and brought home the first Chaos victory.

You can read some details about the campaign and prep work on the blog if that is your thing:

My KT group tried playing Spec Ops, but it was such a dull, mechanical experience. Zero extra excitement wasn't worth additional bookkeeping and imbalance. This video sums up pretty well how it went for us too (even though it wasn't the Ashes of Faith one)
Spoiler:




GW "campaign systems" are hardly playtested at all, I believe. There are tons of options to gain, loads of tables full of bonuses. Playtesting them all in all plausible scenarios and combinations would take ages even for a large team.

I think it's just one guy who gets 2 or 3 weeks to write everything down, because other important deadlines (production of physical product related) need to be met, so he works overtime producing whatever strikes his fancy, just to meet the word quota. And afterwards players treat this as official rules, so something akin to the word of god, which is weird, as, if they have tried out the campaign, they probably have more experience with it than the writer.

Whenever I ran campaigns (quite a few, actually) in WH40K or WFB I always used my own rules which I knew would fit my gaming group.

Umm, this guy first makes up a bunch of house rules to change how SpecOps plays, he then complains about the results?

Typical Dunning-Krueger behaviour at its finest. Yeah go ahead and change game rules without thinking the changes through. Sounds totally legit and hey, "must be better than what the dorks at GW could ever come up with"

Yeah, with our campaign we are kind of skipping the special ops part and just making it a simple Imp vs Chaos board zone control campaign using a points system that rewards a lot of different behaviors such as painting, getting involved, and playing games.



Nothing that fancy really, just an excuse to play some games and paint some models.

Tired of getting guff from my gaming guild for bumming barricades and tokens I bit the bullet and got an Octarius box.

Therefore, I am getting all the barricades, widgets, terrain, and Kill Teams painted up.

The starter is pretty good, I like how the tutorials are structured too.

I haven't had chance to play through it yet for various reasons, but it looks solid.

I finished painting up the Vet Guard pretty quickly. I have oved onto the Orks, but.... they are not as easy to paint quickly. A lot of details and lack of uniformity makes them tough to speed paint.

Finally got some paints back on the table this year

Heel, cur.

An (imperial?) noble of Old Earth for my Unification Wars project. Trying to convert some regular humans from various things in the bitz box, in this case a hideously soft-detailed Reaper witch. A one-day job to test how to sculpt and paint candles.








Gamewise she might end up leading a counts-as Starstriders team down the line when her court retinue gets in line.

This is awesome! Great theming and lighting. I wish KT could see something more solid for narrative approach than very formulaic and mechanical Spec Ops, so that such projects could thrive.

I also wish I could contribute to this section being less flooded by LI and having more KT content, but my next project (Nurgle Legionary team) is progressing slowly. Getting all Legionary operative/weapon options from the Plague Marine box (magnetising, conversions) takes some time and painting (first time experiments with oils) may also be a slow process. With techniques I know it is usually pretty automatic, but a new approach will require more deliberation at every step.

Thanks Cyel, looking good on the smelly boys too. Have fun experimenting, oils are great for all sorts of stained schemes.
