With Kill Team becoming my main focus I'm actually thinking of expanding into other armies, instead of feeling trapped with the one I've primarily invested in. I could buy a Start Collecting Tau or Space Wolves box and blam, I have most if not all of the models I need for a Kill Team. That and I can focus on painting just a few models to a good standard instead of mass painting a huge army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969156.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969156.page GMT Does anyone actually play Kill Team: Haralds of ruin

This, my shop with our campaign we are up to 400 point armies, and they all have names (You get a bonus for it) and are all upgrades, i have 5 tac marines that are BS 5 and an assault cannon terminator thats BS 6. I lib in term armor 2 with 3 W T5 and BS5, its a blast.

We did however end up making a broken army so far.

Iron hands, with a cent sgt and apoth bike. The Cent sgt is T5 so almost no insta deaths, FnP on a 4+, 2+ save, 3 wounds, overcharged grav cannon, so he can fire twice with it but it gets hot. It was nasty and cheese as hell. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969182.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969182.page GMT Does anyone actually play Kill Team: Haralds of ruin

I usually expect to see more reasonable players when it comes to Kill Team, especially HoR, but you can make teams like that yeah. Mass 2+ saves and/or high toughness is difficult for most reasonable teams to deal with.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969215.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969215.page GMT Does anyone actually play Kill Team: Haralds of ruin

Its not even the 2+ save, you learn really quickly in HoR that bodies are more important then saves. Its just Iron Hand HQs in that game can get REALLY strong because of FnP and can get things like It will not die.

So far I have had the opposite experience, weirdly enough. Though I do play guard, so my mass of bodies is not very effective at all... and they're put in squads... I suppose they're more like one model if they're in a squad.

Wraiths and Crisis Suits, especially an Iridium Armour Crisis Suit, have been very effective in the games I have played and observed during a 6 player campaign. I'm now considering making a Space Wolves list with a Powerfist Thunderwolf to try and counter things like that.

Do you think Scouts would be effective in Kill Team? I want the look and feel of a fast, elite force but I'm worried they won't perform well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969274.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969274.page GMT Does anyone actually play Kill Team: Haralds of ruin ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969285.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969285.page GMT Does anyone actually play Kill Team: Haralds of ruin

You can pick guys one at a time so you have a lot more flexibility. There's suggested campaign rules. Any squad bonuses is to everyone within 6 or 3 inches instead. You don't have to roll to move through cover or run. There's optional injury rules so that instead of dying, your troops might get knocked down or knocked out instead. Almost completely focused on infantry.

I have played against a Genestealer kill team and I could see them being pretty effective. Especially on heavily built up urban maps where line of sight is completely cut off, and when they face the smaller more elite armies. Not my uh... mass of conscripts and a heavy flamer army. I guess that isn't exactly Genestealer Cult though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969747.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969747.page GMT Does anyone actually play Kill Team: Haralds of ruin

It seems a lot closer to how Kill Team is intended. It's not regular 40k with like one squad, you can build a team with different guys (so like you could have one guy with a jump pack, one guy with a special weapon, one guy with a powerfist, etc. like how Deathwatch kill teams are), but the drawback to this is it basically has its own rules. GW's Kill Team is pretty much take a stripped down 200 point force straight out of your Codex, and upgrade up to three guys, but each guy moves individually. So you typically don't get a ton of customization and you're "stuck" with standard mooks because you can't pick and choose unless you have one of the lucky armies that can.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969765.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969765.page GMT Does anyone actually play Kill Team: Haralds of ruin http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969776.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969776.page GMT Does anyone actually play Kill Team: Haralds of ruin HoR allows 2+ saves?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969822.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969822.page GMT Does anyone actually play Kill Team: Haralds of ruin

Its not taht bad

1-2 on your butt
3-4 on your face
5-6 off the board

If you are already on your but 1-4 is on your face
5-6 is off board


if on face/stunned any more wounds is off the board

On your back you are auto hit in melee but can strike back,

on your face in melee you are removed as a casualty

when its your turn you advance one outta the stage you are in, if stunned/on face on your turn you roll over to your butt and can move 3 inches only fire snap snot.

Then you go from butt to feet, only can fire snap shots.

So HoR allows 2+ saves?


Yes, they also allow you to take anything from an army thats not a vehicle, aside from transports, heavy, HQ or LOW

You can, and i did, run a full terminator deathwing army.

The problem is, if you do a campaign, where you go above 200 points, 2+ saves are not really that good, and you want more bodies simply because of the way wounding works in the game. Early on 2+ are nice, but it quickly gets overshadowed.

Also there is no D in the game, any weapon that is normally D is just Strength 10, which still sucks but still.

Currently we are working on how to get walkers into the game, IE wraith lords and dreadnoughts. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969841.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969841.page GMT Does anyone actually play Kill Team: Haralds of ruin http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969894.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969894.page GMT Does anyone actually play Kill Team: Haralds of ruin
If you are taking a cover save, you treat the cover save as if you had gone to ground.

But if you dont save any wound and you are stunned/on your face, you get removed as a casualty. Escalating wounds and all. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969897.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8969897.page GMT Does anyone actually play Kill Team: Haralds of ruin

Thanks!

I have one more question, i hope it's okay to ask. If you have a squad, can every member in that squad throw a grenade?

That's how I did it when I played, every conscript would mass throw frag grenades. Not saying it was very effective and they often scattered back on themselves.. ahem.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8971328.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705751/8971328.page GMT
