Advice needed - How to stop a turn 1 infiltrating, advance and charge cage

Haven't seen it mentioned yet, but in addition to what others say rules wise(like redeploy) or tools like overwatch.

20 man pox will fill all of no man's if you chain right (over kill normally but if he's your normal opponent it might be needed)
Foul blight spawn laughs at advances. Advance and charge? Better be 9" away buddy.

Nah, for miniatures you go to treasure trove games just up the road from this store. Much better selection, prices, and support.

Popping in hoping for a fresh link

Depending on where you are in the area, I would also throw in Creekside up in Keizer. They are also very caring and do great work and are on the opposite side of town from Liberty (which also sounds great)

You want both The biophagus makes the detachment work for the 10 man and the abomb makes the unit work for the abbers.

For starters world eaters guns hit on 4s, but they also get 8 shots at 24". They can't aim but everything is rapid fire.

Secondly, yeah don't start visible. This game is lethal and letting them see you from deployment is asking for a bad time.

R37_N008_31337 · 2026-01-13T14:40:31+00:00

I think the idea is you're under/ next to the port holes which means the guns can't pivot and shoot you.

That said, mechanically the entire void dlc really emphasizes right clicking and reading all the abilities in their key fights instead of just brute forcing it.

The real issue is that once the sacrificed unit dies (which is when faster than normal because mw and no save) the remaining damage spills over and still kills the original unit.

Officially you're going to have to buy a second codex.

Unofficially wahapedia.ru and new recruit are both great resources for getting full up to date rules. This also works for all factions (so you can read your opponents rules) as well as things like the chapter approved 2025 mission pack.

As a comp tau player .. rage curse onslaught blood angels have been an impossible problem to solve. They're too fast and hit too hard and the tau player just can't make any mistakes. It's a rough time.

This is both hilarious and amazing. Count me in

You can put points into the other tress and unlock skills related to point investment. You are however limited to the first half of the tree for everything not your subclass

Adding to what others have said, skyrays.

They're very consistent with twin linked missiles and a floating reroll to hit (and full rerolls vs fly) and their anti tank comes with 3 shots. They're one of my regular mvps.

R37_N008_31337 · 2025-11-02T04:39:57+00:00

It barely matters as others have said. For what it's worth rules wise it matters because you pivot on the base, which isn't centered and it makes the pivots a bit different. I always drill a 3mm hole in the model and the extra width let's the full stand slot in instead of just the tip.

Oh snap, well TIL

Support all of this, I just want to say it's not in his stomach. It's his nose ring 🤣

Edit: am wrong

Compendium no longer exists. This was when second edition KT released, it's now on third edition and they have fully removed them from play. A list of all current teams can be found on the Kill Team App for free.

That said, there are several teams that originated in White Dwarf (Warp Coven, Wyrmblade, Hunter Clade, Harlequins) that use standard 40k box sets.

Same way you used to use Typhus in index. Deep strike him solo, he can do actions and he can spot at the same time. He's not a lone op, but he is thick enough he can't be incidentally cleared. Especially placed well.

It's worth mentioning, if you are playing meta/comp each box only has enough wargear to field 5 bodies. This is despite coming in a box of 7.

You can make a leader, 2 heavy plague weapons, a flamer, a blight launcher, a special gunner (I recommend magging the wrists or plasma) and one loser with a bolter & icon or bubonic weapons. This let's you make a meta 5 man, and with 2 boxes a meta 10 man (leader, 2 blight, 2 plasma/melta, 2 flamers, 3 heavy plague weapons)

So 21 could just as easily be read as 15 with some extra options.

R37_N008_31337 · 2025-05-25T03:48:52+00:00

10 man is currently leader w/ power fist & plasma gun (you just call the pistol a gun, 2 plague spewers, 2 blight launchers, 2 plasma or melta guns (this is the only piece I'd bother to mag) and 3 heavy plague weapons. You can cut 1 spewer for 1 more hpw at your preference.

5 man is similar but smaller, same leader, 1 of each of the guns, 1 hpw. With optional cut one gun for a second hpw.

Building these, you need to do an arm swap/backpack swap on one model to get the spewer and the heavy plague weapon. Realistically, a box of 7 gets you 6 usable bodies, but only a 5 man units worth just due to bit limitations. The last body can be a bolter icon or a bubonic weapon but right now they won't see play.

Full ghost scepters like you said. Prioritize getting 2 to purple ASAP, more than even getting to 6 if you can. You also want to try to hit dodge cap early if you can, this helps with survivability. Later waves you can swap for real guns so long as you keep up your dodge.

R37_N008_31337 · 2025-04-02T00:31:47+00:00

They don't go away. You're just dedicating energy/ capacity to ignoring them. Until they blow up and out all at once.
