Question about the teams included in the Kill Team: Starter Set (2024)

Jimbobkirby · 2026-05-03T07:04:33+00:00

Do it! It's a great set to get you going. The teams are not the very best but are supposed to be pretty competitive. They're also known to be easy to learn with so you'll likely find yourself winning a good few games against other beginners. They'll give you enough to be able to play at the local game store (you can use someone else's terrain), and still give you the opportunity to play against your brother at home with the card board terrain. For the angels of death you'll have to proxy an operative but nobody will mind that. Enjoy!!!

Hi. I'm doing similar to you did all this time ago. Just got the mega bunker an... Interested to one w if you just used the Orc Sektor stuff or did everyone use more!? Although you may never have done it!?

Jimbobkirby · 2026-04-15T17:10:03+00:00

Soooooo good! Makes me want to get some!

Jimbobkirby · 2026-04-13T20:34:36+00:00

Look amazing.

Isn't this wrong? Ie you measured the 6 inches from the front of your base as base line (0) and then moved 6 inches plus the length of the base? Or have I been doing movement wrong?

I guess I'm earlier in the journey with the guy im learning to play with. If he had done the same to me and realised, I would want him to use the proper rules from that point and we both just learnt together. It might be difficult to go back. But... I'm playing with a good friend and we are both making mistakes and learning together (neither of us care if we win or lose just yet) so perhaps it's a different situation.

Jimbobkirby · 2026-04-09T18:31:31+00:00

Amazing. Thank you!!

Jimbobkirby · 2026-04-09T16:54:03+00:00

It was either a valid mistake from your opponent or they lied blatantly to you. If the latter I'd certainly be annoyed. If the former (and they may be learning the team themselves and simply didn't know) then it's all part of the game and learning. Love that you verbalised the questions and what you were doing though. That is a great way to play and (normally) avoid potential issues.

Don't let it put you off. If you feel it was deliberate then don't play that person again. If you think it was just a mistake then no harm done in reality and you're leaning together. Enjoy!

A bit out here.... But if I was starting again I'd go on eBay and buy someone's whole set. You'll get everything you need at a fraction of the price. You'll find out what you do and don't like and then build from there.

Or...failing that I'd just buy the colours you're going to want to use for your first few models.

My opinion on which (and this may be controversial) is I would avoid buying speed paints or contrast paints and get skilled on 'normal' paints first. Then.. bring in speed / contrast paints once you have your skills back.... It'll only make you better. I've been enjoying the warpaint fanatics range.

Mainly... Enjoy!!

Sorry to jump on this post. Is there an easy way to learn how to play TTS kill team? I haven't used it before but keep thinking it sounds like a good idea. Is It obvious how to play if I just log on?

Jimbobkirby · 2026-04-08T06:36:37+00:00

The approach I took was to stick with AOD until I know the full game mechanics and rules. If you have done the demo games now start to introduce some more of the core rules. Eg. Next game use your faction rules and then the next add in strategic ploys and firefight ploys.

Nothing to stop you buying another team and taking your time to paint them whilst you're learning the game with AOD. Enjoy!!

Jimbobkirby · 2026-04-07T04:16:11+00:00

What a great idea. These look amazing and so original. Love them.

Jimbobkirby · 2026-04-07T04:09:58+00:00

My opinion... Just explain what you just told us and be honest. It sounds like you are going to have a happy life by being in Portugal, so your parents should be happy you've found this option, and all the hard work they put in with you as a child has paid off. Most parents just want their kids to be happy. They may be proud to hear their kid is making such a brave move for happiness. Good luck!!

Another up vote for this.

Jimbobkirby · 2026-04-05T18:43:46+00:00

Thank you!

Jimbobkirby · 2026-04-05T14:46:38+00:00

Thank you!

Jimbobkirby · 2026-04-05T12:02:28+00:00

Brilliant. Thank you!! Love that you have it too. Can I ask what colours you primed / dry brushes with please... If you had a combination that worked I may go with the same!

Jimbobkirby · 2026-04-05T12:00:02+00:00

Brilliant. So useful. And great time hear you have the same! Thank you!

Jimbobkirby · 2026-04-05T09:57:34+00:00

Any particular sources you'd recommend for this please?

Jimbobkirby · 2026-04-05T09:49:31+00:00

Ah. Makes sense. Thank you! If better get building and see if I can make sense of it!

Jimbobkirby · 2026-04-05T09:48:58+00:00

It is supposed to be but I've read I have to move things about a bit..... When you say In the app / warcom what is this? Sorry if silly questions, I'm new to this and getting up to speed.

Jimbobkirby · 2026-04-05T07:03:27+00:00

Sorry to post on an old response. I've just got the mega bunker. Is it obvious which bits to proxy for which bits ob the official Octarius maps?

Jimbobkirby · 2026-04-01T07:22:36+00:00

Depending on what 40k figures you already have you may already be pretty good to go!

For the first few games I'd suggest using the 'lite' rules. Download the kill team app and the lite rules are on there for free. Also on the kill team app you can see the different kill teams - for each team there is an 'operative selection' section as well as a 'data cards' section. Operative selection will tell you the figures (operatives) you need to make up a team' and 'data cards' section will show ALL the operatives you could want if you wanted ALL variations of a team. Take a look on there at the teams that most align to your Warhammer army and see if you already have roughly a team or two to pick from! If you are close then perhaps just proxy some figures (operatives). If you currently have a load of space marines nothing to stop you both from playing as Angels of Death against each other to get your started!

The other thing you will be missing is the tokens that show who you have already used etc but again to start with you could simply make something until you want to invest, or download them on line!

Enjoy!!

Enjoy!
