The other kill teams are just bonus for your own made up settings.

Think they are Special Operatives. SO's are available for some scenarios.

They don't seem to be, they're listed as part of the kill team composition and have a points value.
Also they mention anti-grav in the description of drone carapace but no rules.
I'd probably house rule them as part of you're team but can't gain XP and have the same movement rules as the Hover Drone.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/722230/9285390.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/722230/9285390.page GMT Necromunda/SWA Loadout Question - Tau

I had the exact same question as well and I'd say you are right! I would use the Hover Drone rules from the Ethereal's drone as the rules for movement etc. for the normal drones. They didn't really clarify drone rules very well in this pdf, but it's a neat document nonetheless!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/722230/9286054.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/722230/9286054.page GMT Necromunda/SWA Loadout Question - Tau

That's probably because daemons would get curb stomped because they don't have any decent ranged units]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/722230/9286110.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/722230/9286110.page GMT Necromunda/SWA Loadout Question - Tau http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/722230/9286364.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/722230/9286364.page GMT Necromunda/SWA Loadout Question - Tau

The wych cults are pretty melee focused, and I expect them to do ok. I'd like to think the real reason is daemons aren't really suitable for the fluff of a team of elite operatives, growing in experience because daemons aren't really continuous like that, with some notable exceptions they are more like waves on an ocean rather than ships on a sea. Plus you have to have reasons why they are continuously in the material plane. Sisters being missing is regrettable, because I think they would be a fun faction and plastic sisters would be a big seller.


I think the only way Daemons would work is if they could deepstrike into battle turn one. That way they would be close to start! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/722230/9286405.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/722230/9286405.page GMT Re:Necromunda/SWA Loadout Question - Tau GW is running next week. I've agreed to use the Space marine rules and head cannoned that they have stripped down power armour for deep recon into the hive.

It's a shame they're not included as a faction but it's not the end of the world. You could always agree points costs if you wanted the 3+ save.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/722230/9286436.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/722230/9286436.page GMT Necromunda/SWA Loadout Question - Tau MoT and count 5++ save as shield of faith.
Marines= sisters, cultists = militia/repentia, choose flamers and meltaguns for your specialists. Use the special boltgun ammo as holy rounds.
Raptor count as seraphim, spawn as penitent engine etc.
Not Ideal, but you can at least play with your faction.

I was thinking you could do something similar with the Inquisition, Using guard rules. Commissar as your Inquisitor, the sergeant as his pupil. I.G w/ Carapace and shotgun = Arbites, count the specialists as gun servitors.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/722230/9286675.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/722230/9286675.page GMT Necromunda/SWA Loadout Question - Tau
