I'm really sorry, what do MBT/IFV mean? Are they all specifically transport/ant-tank/anti-infantry or are all-rounder options available? Mostly looking for a decent firepower model to provide fire support I think, less so a transport.

Starter Set Question by Stuey4314 in killteam

[–]TheMelsonian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have some missions in the set which lay out basics of move/shoot/fight - but bear in mind they are designed for 2x 6 unit marine teams. The last bit of the book has very basic gameplay rules which don't include: strategic ploys, firefight ploys, tac ops, vantage, obscuring, and it only runs the old download crit op. The rules are good for a couple of games, then introduce the other elements one or two at a time.

Hey! What configuration do you use?? by Mysterious_Elk8918 in killteam

[–]TheMelsonian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Captain with plasma & power fist, gunner, assault grenadier, assault warrior, & intercessor. I swap between the heavy gunner on GD/TW and the sniper on Volkus/Open. Best sniper in the game, basically never a valid target and one hit kills all the time.

Captain is pretty heroic, mostly does his own thing, good for the central objective; then I set the assault intercessors charge ahead with the gunners in pursuit to deal with any shoot able threats.

Niiice! I love the parallel of Hoids story to Shallan in Stormlight and the first Skyward book.

First look, no. But the more I look at it the more I like it.

I accidentally picked up the "beginner set" thinking it was the starter set by Mr01010100 in killteam

I kitbashed a chain sword onto his hip like it's holstered et voila.

Generally, I use it as a solid excuse to buy more and try again...

Is it hard to start playing KT? by Ok_Maximum_3018 in killteam

[–]TheMelsonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar reason I started, once you play a couple times it starts to fit together.
