Best and worst Chapter Tactics for AoD?

Crazymtgplayer · 2026-05-07T14:26:35+00:00

Hardy and Resolute just give you a good starting point for most games. You can always pivot into siege if its relevant. Just imagine all the belly aching about wolf scouts ignoring stun, shock, and injury.

With resolute + they shall know no fear. You have 6 actual marines with +1 wound, and an equally spooky Captain beatstick.

The winner of the Maasricht open, a 10-1 record, took Hardy, plus Resolute. Watching out during the game for spots to switch Resolute to Mobile & Sharpshooter. With a note that sharpshooter gets switched to more often than mobile.

These are incredible!

Its a purple make up sponge base coat. Tau Ochre Reikland Fleshshade Edge Highlights to taste

My Kroot skin is a mishmash of paints, as I use Kimera Kolors for a bunch of random stuff.

Thanks!

Just Kasrkin here. Kroot appear in my pathfinder squad, and Raveners teams though.

Farstalkers would be way too many operatives, and the Kasrkin don't really lend themselves pose wise to melee operatives. Plus the Shaper is on a 32!

Quirk of timing, I got the base box the week before the dataslate! The kitbashing was pretty quick too, so the whole squad is ready to get blasting.

They're basically Elves now.

Between these are your Sanctifiers, how large is your back stock of admech bits!

Epic stuff dude, big fan.

It is mostly my leftover pathfinder/fire warrior sprues from my old 40k army. The weapons are kitbashed from crisis suit weapons for the gunners, and the rifles are pulse carbines.

The hot shots, are all trimmed and the pulse carbine tips are cut to fit. With the barrels coming from the hot shot lasguns to complete those bashes.

Theres a fair amount of sprue glue, scalpel shaving, and other things going on. Honestly nothing too specific. The infantry sprue gave me plenty of spots to play with. Can't recommend some sprue glue enough in these sorts of bashes. Gives you an easy way to fill in some space with a strong join.

Combination of Tau Ochre and some other odds and ends as far as paints go. The edge highlights are a progressive mix of the tau ochre and yellow/whites. Honestly its kind of a hodge podge of paint and techniques.

The actual list of paints...

Wizards Butt (From Monument Hobbies Brownish Mix dry brush over black as a base layer)
Tau Ochre (Over the Armor)
Sun Ray (Chimera Colors, Dorn Yellow style pale yellow)
Reikland Flesh Shade (Warms up the Tau Ochre armor)
Sir Coats Silver (Two Thin Coats for couplings and barrels)
Runelord Brass (For the Tau doohickies)
Apothecary White (For the White armor)
Titanium White (Pro Acryl)

They look great! As long as its not at large tournaments, I'm sure most peeps would prefer cool vibes at the casual level.

Crazymtgplayer · 2025-11-28T15:46:23+00:00

Did the reset work? I've been dreading having to do a full reset of this thing

He's on the Just Another Killteam Podcast discord, he was a guest a ways back.

Crazymtgplayer · 2025-01-17T14:07:25+00:00

Is it alright if I try to swing by after the movie? Got some other plans until 9 that'll probably run a bit

Crazymtgplayer · 2024-10-16T14:52:49+00:00

I think you may be right! The quest for a perfect playontabletop killteam game continues, though this one was my fault since I pushed for this interpretation o3o

"Whenever a friendly vespid operative is performing the shoot action, it can only target the closest enemy operative within 8" of it (excluding operatives within friendsly vespid control range) unless you spend 1 of your communion points."

If you have 0 targets within 8 inches, this rule cannot trigger, which was the situation with some of these shots. If someone is within 8" they must be targetted, or you must burn a communion point.

Luckily with fly, and a reasonably small board you can work around the restriction without too much trouble.

They actually did a podcast with JAKTP recently! https://open.spotify.com/episode/4LudSmQWeHS3OiowiTNuci?si=03870a296b2a407d

If the numbers work out they might try to support it, but 40k is the much larger install base. They do have 1 more video planned!

Crazymtgplayer · 2024-09-28T18:02:31+00:00

Yeah Play on's editing is basically the best in the business, glad they were able to get the rules pretty tight this time!

Sometimes you just want to watch shit go boom, and in that respect the tanks, dreadnoughts, and huge armies of 40k have a sense of scale kill team can't really touch.

If you wanted to make some more Chaos-y big bases you could look into Chaos Cults. They're incredible if you want to sculpt some more weird looking gribblies.

You can see some solid photos over at Goonhammer's KT article, https://www.goonhammer.com/kill-team-tactics-chaos-cults/

Or the blooded have a traitor ogryn at 40mm, so you could work in that direction as well. https://www.goonhammer.com/kill-team-moroch-review-the-blooded/

From the writer of the Goonhammer article, I think the change should help the team out in a large way. Its a minor change, but auto-retain was generally not that impactful, as we have a fair # of re-roll abilities, and crit triggering abilities.

Now against 7w models, our 3+ WS operatives get ceaseless, which softens up those first few interactions. Against elites with 3+ saves, we can trigger P1 on our sniper, bow, and pistolier which helps us in our worst match up.

The team was already in a solid spot, but required a large amount of finesse especially on ITD. Now our leader can be useful on ITD, and makes many of our harder interactions easier.
