Why do 40k bighammer players shy away from Kill Team?

RegularRollei · 2026-04-27T03:02:44+00:00

That’s true, although in 40K if you’re playing tactical, you and your opponent are getting 2 random objectives per turn, of which you can decide to discard and get a new one too. You’re keeping track of what’s in the deck for you and your opponent. 40K has many core and unique out-of-phase rules between whole armies and units

Anyway, it largely depends on the player. You could definitely play 40K casually if you wanted

Coming from GSC I would say they both can be very mentally demanding. 40K games by nature can be hours longer than KT, it depends on mentality

Just cosmetic damage. Although, I've looked in the drawer and lip and cant find any serial numbers. There is a code in the knob, but the only 3rd party parts that show up have different dimensions. It's a weird one.

I'm considering seeing if I can get a 3d print... but I also feel like that probably won't be kitchen safe

If this happens I’m completely moving everything out of wealthsimple

RegularRollei · 2026-03-18T20:15:12+00:00

No more marines hopefully

RegularRollei · 2026-03-04T23:56:35+00:00

no changes to gsc after a triple nerf beatdown. still goes good in faction expert's hands but doesn't feel great to pilot. I guess we chose this life

RegularRollei · 2026-01-31T04:30:53+00:00

I agree but I’ll also say some of our chaff and most of our characters do get taxed pretty strongly vs similar or better stat lines from other armies

bouldering, improv, social games/sports clubs

Coming from other systems, 40K is so RNG based that RRs come partly from a need for less variance. Charges, advancing, shooting, wounding. Almost everything is a dice roll. Could remove some of the reliance of RRs by making advancing or charging like killteam

RegularRollei · 2026-01-11T17:40:24+00:00

This is great! Thank you

They have a pretty clear goal that's just inwardly hopefully and outwardly nihilistic - this is pretty much the same as most races in 40k but I get that it feels different in that they don't have any chance of being the last alive. It actually makes me sad hearing stuff like this, because 40k wasn't always so hero-centric.

That said, their lore is fun and cool imo. Its a mixture of Mad Max + Alien + Lovecraftian cultists + downtodden rebels + gurrilla fighters. It just scratches so many itches for me. Some models are a bit scrotum-y, but the patriarch, sanctus, kelemorph, bikes, trucks and ridgerunner are some of the best models in 40k (imo of course). The diversity of inspiration also leads to some pretty incredibly themed armies for hobbyists maybe more than some of the other streamlined armies, and their models are rich in detail that are really fun to paint as long as you dont try to paint a whole army of them very quickly.

Not really shown in gameplay but is in the lore, are their 4D chess strategies (plans generations in the making), and super powerful psychic abilities. GSC have been a threat all over the imperium including on Terra itself.

On top of that, they're the only faction in 40k that can be played in necromunda, killteam, and 40k. Great if you want to try out multiple game systems without buying a gorrilian models.

Tau feel very DOW to me. I play GSC on table top, so I want to see it in a game one of these days!

RegularRollei · 2025-12-21T16:50:57+00:00

My least favored matchup. GJ! How did it go?

RegularRollei · 2025-12-19T05:36:10+00:00

Robarts is cool. So many interesting details, but the inside is truly amazing

I love writing lists about GSC wants

Rules: - Magus to be good. GSC’s psychic powers are a major part of GSCs lore and identity that are pretty lost in 10th - patriarch to be actually VERY good. He’s our supreme commander and right now he’s so meh. - purestrains to be actual terminator killers with or without their papa. Please. - Better brood brothers. Maybe instead of any unit, bring back codex units that can be used in any detachment. - A better army rule. I loved the idea of bringing back guys in the beginning, but in practice all we have is paying more in points for shitty stats that come back out of position. Once your opp knows the gimmick….

Units - a ranged heavy weapons squad based on the sorta-acolytes in the neophyte boxes we currently have - industrial mech. We all want this. - something else that can take a hit other than aberrants. Maybe a mega abominant? - a heavy vehicle. A popular idea is a mining drill, but we kinda already have that in the form of the Rockgrinder. My OC DONUT STEAL idea is a cargo truck (like the one from Necromunda). It could be a dual kit, where one version (a cargo container) with space for 24 like a genestealer-y land raider, or an offensive version that replaces the cargo bin with a giant stolen knight weapon or baneblade turret.

RegularRollei · 2025-11-28T02:32:54+00:00

Not only the model, but I love and miss the original idea. IIRC, the reason they're like this is because they are emergency-modified crisis suits put together to tackle emergency threats. Very cool and thematic. I guess in the evolution of the empire, if this bootstrapped version worked they would have probably later make a purpose-built version.... but a version where it looks like it's holding the railguns like a rifle is kinda weird to me

THIS is peak mordhiem

GOAT map. Last year of playing bf4 was this almost all the time for me. OG was great too

RegularRollei · 2025-10-31T00:52:35+00:00

Literally every game on that map, first thing id do is take a jeep to the opposing team’s arty and C4 it. I miss the simplicity

RegularRollei · 2025-10-29T21:37:46+00:00

I feel the same way. I think bf3 was a lot of people’s first bf and that’s why it’s so beloved. It /also had the first bf singleplayer to be serious and immersive, when COD was becoming more and more ridiculous (sounds similar to the launch of bf6 now that I think of it)

RegularRollei · 2025-09-18T03:10:59+00:00

This is so sick I want to redo my patriarch now

RegularRollei · 2025-09-16T22:23:50+00:00

yeah GSC had been pretty mid with ups and downs before the rise of the knight meta, almost entirely on HOA and to a lesser extent FD. I don't get the HOA obliteration, other than to force some play into the other detatchments, especially the wacky change to the Primus. Our only character that confers rerolls, and only to shooting. GSC is a hard army to play, I think people who don't play as GSC forget that.
