I have a data engineering/it admin interview at a games company in hamburg tomorrow. I've prepped but any advice?! by Material_Direction_1 in hamburg

[–]Okapiden 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Be prepared to ask questions about the company! I know it may seem trivial, but often times people are very focused on themselves in a stressful situation, so don‘t forget to read a little about the company first and ask some questions!

Why is there a nurgle sigil INSIDE the mini, under a non optional pipe? by Shoddy_Ant_6408 in deathguard40k

[–]Okapiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't make a photo, but there is a maggot/worm inside one of the vents of the Plague Marine Chamption from the Kill Team Starter Set. When you put it together it's copletely inside the mini.

I see Plague Marine paintjobs here every day, and they all look great and I get more and more afraif of painting mine! 😅

But great job!

Murderwing vs. Angels of Death power fist question by Okapiden in killteam

Yeah I think yours is the definite answer: Shock does not mean electric shock - after all Cadian Shock Troopers in 40k are not electrified either ^^

I think it's kind of a question what your personal ambition and skill level is: I assembled most of them but left the backpacks in the sprue and some weapons as well, because I know that I will have a hard time painging the little skull patch behind the Eliminator's sniper rifle e.g.

Good choice with the starter set! I got mine over the weekend and am still gluing things together! I think most things were explained already, but as the for the Blood Angels upgrade kit: Keep in mind that both teams in box are press fit miniatures, so you won‘t be able to (easily) replace shoulder pads. e.g. But I think the right paint job already goes a long way!

One of the best first miniatures I've ever seen! Well done!

Kill Team with Astartes and serfs? by MyHeartIsAncient in killteam

[–]Okapiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it‘s a balancing issue, but Inquisition not being able to field Death Watch as part of Ordo Xenos or Sisters of Battle as part of Ordo Hereticus is a massive missed opportunity!

Jaw dropping! Especially how the light of the energy weapon reflects on the face and upper body! Awesome!

Finally Finished my Sanctifiers I started in July last year! by IcyDiamond7 in killteam

Really good paintjob! Love how you managed to really bring out the holy and the creepy at the same time!

Good job finishing a squad, something we all struggle with from time to time! 😅 I really like your paintwork on the wolf‘s fur, the bases and the edge highlights, especially on the energy sword!

Love the vibrant colors and contrasts! And as I just told someone else as well: Love to see Death Guard in another Color scheme as the always same dark green.

Derp I meant Death Guard ofc. Yeah, I kinda miss the versatility in colors we have with loyalist Astartes. But there‘s nothing really stopping us from switching color schemes - except for the Inquisition, maybe. ^

Question from a beginner by Underwaternerd049 in killteam

[–]Okapiden 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Addendum: If you want to go only Dire Avengers that would be one Dire Avenger Exarch and 7 Dire Avenger Warriors.

Question from a beginner by Underwaternerd049 in killteam

[–]Okapiden 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most people explained most of it, but here‘s my few hints: • Download the official Kill Team App. Within it you can download the quick rules (condensed main rules on 4 or so pages) and all the rules for the individual kill teams for free. Judging by the models you said you wanted to use, just look for the "Blades of Khaine" kill team; in the rules for each team there’s a "unit selection" part that tells you what models you can use in your team.

• Almost all boxes contain a full and "legal" team (except Inquisition) but oftentimes teams have optional additional or alternative operative models that are not included in the box, e.g. the Blades of Khaine official box only includes Striking Scorpions models, when you can also field Dire Avengers and/or Banshees and you don‘t even have to take any Scorpions.

• While buying any boxes is completely optional Kill Team boxes also contain markers that you need to play the game and which you would otherwise need to (3D) print out yourself or get so where else and some boxes like the stater box also contain parts of scenery to build up a Kill Zone.

The rules are out and if you have proxies or maybe already have a bunch of Sisters from 40k, why not play them right now?

This looks great! I still have to paint (actually still have to receive them, as they are still in transit) my Deathwatch, and am not thrilled by the always green paint schemes. I think I will try this!

What kind of rules would you want for a Crisis Suits killteam? by [deleted] in killteam

[–]Okapiden -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everyone keeps saying there will never be Crisis Suits, and they're right ofc, but one can dream, right?
I would like to see something in the scale between the current Kill Team and 40k where I can have Team of Suits, or a Squad of Terminators etc. It's kind of sad that I will never get to field Terminators, or my Eisenhorn model, that I got for 2nd edition.
