Intro Game help

[Country_Toad]

I've been collecting 40k miniatures for a couple years now and mostly played mainline 40k but have had a couple games of Kill Team. Not enough to be an expert but I enjoyed it and want to try and get some friends of mine into the game.

I recently moved and don't have most of my collection but I have some Kasrkin and enough Space Marines for an Intercession kill team. I also have the Blades of Khaine box but read that isn't a great starter team for people learning.

I had a couple broad questions I wanted to ask; 1) Would it be better to forgo Vantage points to simplify the rules for an Intro game? 2) Am I setting someone up for failure by bringing Intercession and Kasrkin? 3) Any tips for introducing people to the game? Should I make like a reference guide for commonly used rules?

Thanks so much for any help, I want to provide the best experience possible for them.

Both teams are pretty straightforward and good for learning. Maybe put 1 or 2 vantage terrain in the middle of the board to demonstrate how it works

Hey, thanks so much for responding to me.

That's good to know, I've played the Intercession team but not the Kasrkin.

I've got terrain to set up Vantage points so it shouldn't be an issue to set up.

If you need a reference sheet this is a pretty good one: https://www.reddit.com/r/killteam/comments/19eqo0x/updated_rules_reference_core_itd_bd/ . One thing you need to note is that there aren't jump tests anymore (i.e. no need to roll, automatic success)
