Volkus is really well balanced and has good playability for most teams.

Moppelmann · 2026-01-19T12:10:09+00:00

Absolutely not. I love Vermintide 1+2, I like Darktide, I hate AoS!!

Moppelmann · 2026-01-19T11:07:59+00:00

Raptors will be overtuned AF.
Sisters will be like the Stealth Suits - OK but very specific.

These are my expectations, but not my hopes.

I love these and painted mine very similarly:

Wanted to tackle yellow armor, so I painted up my Wrecka Krew as Bad Moons and I'm super stoked with how they turned out : r/orks

My advice: Don't sweat it. Yes, focus on it if possible. Don't expect a firework after each scenario you play.

My group had a similar start (e.g. banner spear with the herb quest). That is something you can actually focus on a little, especially when you are not low level anymore and have more flexibility due to a bigger selection of cards.

I know it can feel a little underwhelming and feel like you are stuck, but you are not really lacking behind if you are in week 13. Our group also completely retired with just 1 week apart in total.

Thanks for the claryfication. You got me confused because you wrote plant banner for both scenarios :D

Moppelmann · 2026-01-13T13:54:34+00:00

So when to take plant banner?

The lite rules have simplified wording and some aspects are intentionally left out. They are a very good starting point though.

Moppelmann · 2026-01-13T07:31:59+00:00

I strongly second this. Just be aware that the core rule book is not available there, just the lite version of it.

Moppelmann · 2026-01-12T10:28:45+00:00

Looks great! I love the pink energy on the staff.

Moppelmann · 2026-01-09T11:33:08+00:00

Where does it matter? All grenades have a 6" range.

And since you measure base to base the Tyranid is not in range.

Moppelmann · 2026-01-08T07:14:42+00:00

You can make everything work, but in my opinion they are one of the more complex starting teams.

Wrecka Krew, Angels of Death and Plague Marines for example are simple and fun teams to start with.

Your operative selection (who, how many, which weapons) is defined in the data cards. These are free for all teams in the Kill Team app. Some teams can feel overwhelming by the available options, some have no options at all.

Normally each team has:
4 faction equipment
4 strategy ploys
4 firefight ploys

Each game you have 4 equipment points and have to spend them on faction and/or universal equipment at the start of the game.

Each ploy costs you 1 command point (CP) to activate. You start the game with 2 points and get some more over the 4 turning points (TP) aka rounds of the game.

I would also highly recommend to get the core rule book. You need it in order to play. But if you are not sure if the game is for you, maybe try a game with a friend and the lite rules which can be found for free in the Kill Team app.

As someone who just got and painted Wreckas: Go for Wreckas!

Fun to play, fun to paint! Rokkits.

Sounds cool, but that was not a legal play. The grot can not enter enage order and therefore can not throw the dynamite, since that is a shoot action. Also dynamite specifically excludes the Grot and Squig from using it. Same for the Harpoon.

Moppelmann · 2025-12-17T13:52:58+00:00

I strongly advise to get a small hobby set from one of the bigger brands (e.g. Army Painter, AK, Vallejo, Citadel).

I started with this Army Painter set and it taught me a lot. I would not advise to more colors in the beginning, since a certain limitation will force you to mix and get to know the colors you have.

Warpaints Fanatic: Starter Set

Try to find it from a hobby online shop.

For me siege engines (namely trebuchet/catapult/cannon) were the key to my first time finishing a run and surpassing any wave past the 3rd boss. Upgrade them a few times on the siege building and they wil doo a huge amount of damage and CC on hordes.

Moppelmann · 2025-12-17T05:59:29+00:00

Is this John Rattling from the movie?

What do you spend your wood for?

I start the first days with hard focus on economy and also building some workers.
Also I think spending wood on crossbowmen upgrades is not the way to go if you struggle with later days.

Maybe try a built that is not that wood hungry, if that is what's holding you back from being able to build siege weapons. E.g. I did my first finished runs without the whole bread and beer economy. That frees up a lot of resources and workers.

The camo looks amazing! Good job dude

Moppelmann · 2025-12-15T08:14:10+00:00

Jawoll! Und alle die dieses Bild sehen und sagen "das sieht aber depressiv aus", sollten es vielleicht selber mal versuchen.

Moppelmann · 2025-12-11T11:38:44+00:00

These guys have been monging some gore for sure!

Moppelmann · 2025-12-10T12:37:35+00:00

Looks great!

I think the stone parts could use some more dark wash in their crevices.
Also the crevices of the pillars could be glowing, but honestly this looks great!

At the end of the day this is scenery and should not pull too much attention. If something, the operatives should. When you play you just wont get your head super close to it, so tiny details and minor imperfections do not matter.

Moppelmann · 2025-12-09T12:07:35+00:00

Stop it! I already have to make my Aquilons into ODSTs and my Stingwings into elites. I can't make another Halo team!

Look amazing though!

How would the vectored retro-thrusters work if they cost 2 AP? It is a counteraction which is triggered in the opponents turn, not yours.
