<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Dark Angel Kill Team"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Dark Angel Kill Team My local store just recently discovered the kill team rules so I've been playing around with a vet squad. I win much more than I lose, but I feel it's pretty rigid in what it can do. Any thoughts to improve it?

1 Vet- Plasma Cannon
1 Vet- Plasma Gun
3 Vet- Plasma Pistol, Chain sword
2 Vet- Bolters

look into a tricked out tactical squad and a rhino. that's what I used and it worked very well for me.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543724/5907572.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543724/5907572.page GMT Dark Angel Kill Team

yup. remove the plasma. one bad round and you can cause yourself to take a break check. plus, you're one point over.

There's a 5% chance of a Marine killing himself with each plasma shot. Even if you somehow do have a ridiculous bout of bad luck, you've got LD9.

Bearing in mind that melta is near worthless in kill team and flamers are pretty redundant as well due to the lack of hordes, I'd always take plasma, which is insurance against monstrous creatures and that one TFG that decides to bring 5 Terminators, as well as being very effective against other Marines. The odds of having a massive advantage against any of those 3 opponents far outstrip the potential and extremely unlikely disaster scenario you describe.

the one extra point has been ok'ed by pretty much everyone in my gaming group. We really don't tournament play. Almost exclusively friendly games.
There are 3 tyranid, 1 chaos demon, and 3 CSM players that I have to face. The S7 is really great against all the MCs and the AP2 has been awesome against CSM]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543724/5908060.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543724/5908060.page GMT Dark Angel Kill Team http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543724/5908904.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543724/5908904.page GMT Dark Angel Kill Team MCs weren't allowed in Killteam?

I've heard a lot of people say that MCs aren't allowed in kill team but i've never personally read any rules that say that.. so until I find some that do and it passes with my gaming group I'm still ok with anyone playing them..]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543724/5909376.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543724/5909376.page GMT Dark Angel Kill Team GW kill team rules, you may field a model with no more than 3 wounds, which eliminates most monstrous creatures. either way, a meltagun with eat most models with ease.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543724/5909382.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543724/5909382.page GMT Dark Angel Kill Team GW site..]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543724/5909475.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543724/5909475.page GMT Dark Angel Kill Team GW updated in 2013 for their kill team event:

In addition they published this errata/FAQ:

http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m3170054a_Kill_Team_Update_April_2013.pdf

basically the no models with more than three wounds i think was specifically designed to keep out riptides as single kill teams and there are other units which have accidentally been nerfed such as razorwing flocks, clawed fiends and (annoyingly IMO since killteams were really my only use for them) harpies for 'nids :(

Edit: oh and of course to get rid of the brokenness that is the doom of malantai]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543724/5909793.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543724/5909793.page GMT Dark Angel Kill Team http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543724/5910204.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/543724/5910204.page GMT
