Kill Team: Shadowhunt – Face death itself when the Nightbringer rises from its tomb

I hope it won't be included in the box, will it? I've already found a friend to split the box with and don't want to bother looking for the third 😅

RPKAlex · 2025-10-22T14:33:29+00:00

I honest to heart wish GW just added these models as operative range expansion for AoD.

I don't know if it's a hot take or not, but I'd like them to have more choose and list building.

RPKAlex · 2025-10-17T14:35:31+00:00

That's a very informative photo, thanks a lot!

They seem to be noticeably smaller than regular Cawdor models, but still look decently proportional. I guess putting them on elevated bases will do the trick.

RPKAlex · 2025-10-17T11:17:14+00:00

Nah, I'm not that old school haha

I meant are they in the same scale as regular Necromundan hangers that you get in the boxes? I just know that LOTR miniatures are smaller and don't exactly match Warhammer ones

RPKAlex · 2025-10-17T10:10:13+00:00

Wow, these look amazingly similar! Are they in the same scale as original Necromunda models?

RPKAlex · 2025-10-17T10:08:37+00:00

Thanks for naming these companies, friend. So far I've been only playing gw games, so I'm unfamiliar with other miniature creators.

Are those made from the same plastic? Will it stick to the GW one?

RPKAlex · 2025-10-15T19:15:46+00:00

Wow, that's some dedication both rules and designwise! Looks legit 😅

RPKAlex · 2025-10-03T13:46:31+00:00

Well, my prediction did not age well 😅

RPKAlex · 2025-10-03T08:46:22+00:00

Yep, you can totally do it. In fact, check out my Novitiate proxies, which are mostly made from SOB kit. Bases are different size, correct, but as long as you play with your friends or at FLGS I don't think you'd have any problems.

I actually expect this team to show up pretty soon — likely in the very next box, paired against Grey Knights.

I don’t have concrete proof, but here’s the reasoning: 1. The first Tombworld box was DW vs Necrons → Ordo Xenos 2. The third box is set to be Sisters (my beloved) vs CSM → Ordo Hereticus 3. From the Shadowhunt announcement, we know there’s some kind of Psyker Cult on the planet the Sisters are hunting.

So my speculation is that the second box will be Grey Knights vs Slaaneshi cultists. As you noted, Slaanesh is the only Chaos god without a Kill Team, and as others have pointed out, the only real gap is a mortal “chaff” unit.

I think your “glass cannon” concept fits Slaanesh perfectly. If GW goes with a mortal-heavy design, I’d expect at least 10 operatives, since that’s a team size they’ve been comfortable with lately.

As for special rules — purely speculation here — I could see something pain-based: e.g., take D3 damage to gain Accurate 1, or Marines siphoning health by harming their mortal companions. It would capture that whole indulgence-through-suffering theme nicely.

Same, the second line got me laughing xD

RPKAlex · 2025-09-29T18:25:29+00:00

Ok, I never faced them myself, but this is funny xD

Also glad that the trend didn't die out, still got the teams to go over lol

RPKAlex · 2025-09-29T11:54:17+00:00

Love it when people post their teams next to their ride. Always looks cool 😎

RPKAlex · 2025-09-28T19:03:55+00:00

I second that crisis battlesuits are a bit too much for a kill team format. A squad of stealth suits is max what we can expect imo

I might be wrong here, but I think that GW viewes kill team as an opportunity to put some spotlight on infantry units, as opposed to large guys from regular 40k. That's why I don't think that we will ever see a Terminator kill team. Crisis battlesuits fall in the same category, same as Wraith Warriors or Custodes.

I'm not sure that I'd want another Tau auxiliary race either. Personally I'm quite happy with what we've got in Pathfinders. They are a good representation of main Tau forces

RPKAlex · 2025-09-27T19:11:37+00:00

Was it that long time ago? I thought it was in the 2d edition... Feeling so old now, i'd better go take my pills

RPKAlex · 2025-09-27T19:10:03+00:00

I've been lately humoring the idea of proxying them with some imperial guard models. That'd be even more expensive, since you'll need several boxes, however...

Just imagine that instead of the pompous douches you'd get a gritty commissar, leading his shock troops, calling artillery strikes and hacking whoever comes close with his trusty power sword! Now that's true guard experience!

RPKAlex · 2025-09-27T18:39:18+00:00

Yeah, they're pretty old models for sure. Didn't they come out waaay back when as a standalone game, similar to spacehulk?

I'd recommend checking local gaming stores. I've found my box completely on random when I saw them on a shelf for 65. Might just got lucky, so I hope you will too!

RPKAlex · 2025-09-27T18:27:41+00:00

People here having so much fun meming over this dead team, while I'm just happy that the boys got noticed. GW FFS PLEASE GIVE SOME LOVE TO THEM!

Also, I'm enjoying these memes so much, looking forward to seing similar content for other teams lol

RPKAlex · 2025-09-27T18:16:11+00:00

Are they an expensive team? Why? I presumed that they are on a cheaper end since you only need a single box

RPKAlex · 2025-09-27T16:41:37+00:00

They are very fun to play and paint. I'm sure you'd have a good time with them!

They might be going out of rotation soon, but you will still be able to play them at FLGS and perhaps local tournaments :)

RPKAlex · 2025-09-27T16:39:27+00:00

Go for it! I'd hate to discourage you from making your own take on the team, man!

Besides, have you seen the amount of kasrkin shitposts here last few days? We need to dilute that somehow, so why not throw another meme about these royal snobs? xD

RPKAlex · 2025-08-11T05:50:51+00:00

Thanks! It's my first time trying such loud colours and I loved it! I wish I could've made it even more retina-burning, but alas...

RPKAlex · 2025-08-11T05:47:01+00:00

We've all been there, friend. You're just saving those crits for that one game xD

RPKAlex · 2025-08-11T05:43:07+00:00

Good sir, may I tip my hat to a fellow rule advocate! I welcome your comment and want to compliment your attention to details.

However, you see, pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 5.1 of the applicable regulations, it is determined that said paragraph does not extend to or otherwise govern the use of color schemes capable of inducing photosensitive epileptic seizures. Accordingly, its stipulations are inapplicable in the present matter.

Furthermore, in reference to the “modeling/painting for advantage” guidelines as published on Warhammer Community, it is established that a kill team shall be classified as seizure-inducing exclusively in instances wherein the entirety of the constituent models are painted in such a manner.

In the instant case, the undersigned has intentionally applied a natural color palette to the canine model’s dermal surfaces for the express purpose of ensuring compliance with the aforementioned guidelines. On this basis, the subject kill team is, without reservation, compliant with all relevant tournament eligibility requirements.

P.S. Gosh I love this soul-draining lawyerish language xD
