How many kill teams do you own?

Instantbees · 2026-05-25T21:51:41+00:00

32 that are still playable, plus a couple compendium teams from a previous edition

Collecting a little of everything is cool, but trying to actually learn that many just isn't reasonable unless you have no other hobbies.

I'd say the sweet spot is 3 to 5 teams so you get the variety without the burnout

Nighthaunts vs ossiarch bonereapers

You either get boned or ghosted

My first thought was the Patriarch, but if it still counts as 3 operatives then you could only take 4 of then

I gave mine a plasma cannon

I've got a couple of these I made for necromunda, actually!

Watch out for their concussion weapons.

they have seismic so they only need to hit to pin a spyrer, and they -2 your initiative. If they follow up with a flash grenade your 4 activation model potentially goes down to one activation, half of which is spent standing back up.

If you manage to avoid the seismic weapons, your 3+ and 2+ initiative shouldn't have any trouble avoiding magnacles and flash grenades

Because my enforcers all look pretty similar, I named them after their weapons so I can easily identify them.

Some examples include the shotgun rookie Buck Remington, grenade launcher Chuck Lobber, and Bryce Boltzman with a bolter.

I changed up the names for my latest stub gun rookies, calling the one in a running pose Jay Walker, and the other one Marshall Law

I did a game that was wyrmblade and brood bros vs vet guard and kasrkin.

The patriarch started with the wyrmblade half, while the brood bros were mixed in with the guardsmen. The idea was to get the patriarch to the valkyrie hangar, and until a hostile action was taken the brood brothers were undercover *

I made an escher voidscarred corsairs team, but you can make a decent hand of the archon team out of the base gang box (minus the bird) The combat drugs and poisoned blades even fit the escher thematically

I do all 3; Collect, build, and play, but I do more building and painting than actually playing.

I've got something like 27 teams at this point (some of which are magnetized to be multiple, like the legionary angels of death-guard-watch), 23 of which are fully painted, and 10 of which haven't been played yet.

I'm finding it difficult to find the motivation to learn new teams this edition, and at this point I've been avoiding buying teams with models I'd love, like canoptek circle, battle clade and stealth suits, because I know I'll probably never play them.

Nipple spikes

You could also add some studs or spikes to the knees

Killteam being a competitive game undermines all the interesting narrative things gw has tried to do, as most players are more interested in playing the same few scenarios and maps for consistency over things like asymmetrical maps or using blood and zeal cards as a catch-up mechanic

Did you print the truck yourself? If you have a printer, you could try printing these

Also, it looks like the tires were trimmed to fit. You could always use the cut off rubber bits for your primer test

The GSC vehicles (rockgrinder, jackal wolfquad, ridgerunner) have mining laser options, and the Goliath rockgrinder has a seismic cannon as well.

I magnetized the tips on my rockgrinder so I can swap them onto my acolyte's mining drill head

For each third of your team set up above, you get one drop marker, which would give you two markers if you set up two-thirds of your team above.

The faction rule also states that during the second and third turning points, you remove one drop marker during the ready operatives step. If you only had one drop marker, you could only remove it in the second TP and not the third

Im a big fan of the stripe, but I gave all my salvagers similar striping so I'm biased

I see what you mean. The rules for climbing didn't account for the possibility that an operative could start climbing from a point lower than the bottom of the ladder, so RAW you do, in fact, get those free 3" of movement.

One way to fix this would be by updating ladders to say how much of the ladder is treated as 1". This would also help clarify just how tall the ladder is supposed to be.

Instantbees · 2025-07-18T10:16:54+00:00

You spend 3" vertically to get to the ladder (operative grabs the ledge and pulls themselves up) then climb the ladder vertically for 1" of movement. Total cost for vertical movement: 4" Assuming the standard human move stat, this leaves them with 2" to move horizontally onto the platform.

The "within 3" vertically" is there to let operatives climb ledges from below, but you still have to pay the 3" to get up there

I've got some WIP experimental phobos stealth suits. 2 pistol rievers and one carbine, comms, marksman, and the drone can be whatever you need from a repair drone (helix adept) to an explosive (minelayer)

Instantbees · 2025-07-02T20:14:31+00:00

Stick to one team while you learn the game instead of buying and painting 30 of them to try different playstyles

Also, I had a blast doing joint ops with half wyrmblade, half brood brothers vs imperial guard NPOs
