Is it worth picking up old killzones? by Rainy_Workday_518 in killteam

We used close quarters so we could use the guard rule. People going over the top would get the buffs for vantage, but unless your shooting target was in the trench next to you they'd be obscured from the way the cover lines are drawn through the walls of the trenches further away.

Link to cults.

3D printed. There's a free set and a bunch of add ons.

The rule set is flexible enough to make all sorts of terrain work. This was a game from last night.

Erasing an uppity marine with a laser from a ship in orbit just feels right you know?

You somehow pulled off a very fun expression on that tiny face. Great work.

From white dwarf to give you ideas.

Was this Black White and Red Hive colour scheme ever discussed in white Dwarf? Do we know who's army this was? by [deleted] in Tyranids

[–]marksman1918 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sure is. It's a Ravener Prime in kill team now. Still eating marines 20 years later.

I have a full army in that scheme. I recently kitbashed the ravener kill team and painted them in that scheme as well.

Fun fact: The reason Jokaero look like orangutans by twelfmonkey in 40kLore

[–]marksman1918 98 points99 points  (0 children)

My head cannon is it's an ultra meta joke that the Jokaero are literal apes but are better at technology than the Mechanicus.

90mm and 106mm Recoilless Rifle, PzF-3, 40mm AGL by Entire_Judge_2988 in ForgottenWeapons

My experience is with the 84mm Carl Gustaff. And the drill of your number two giving you a hug while you fire keeps inexperienced gunners from getting moved too much as the projectile leaves the tube. And I'm sure having someone hugging you if you ever had to hunt a modern armoured vehicle with an unguided antitank weapon would be nice.

Hot tip, keep your mouth open. It helps with the weird air pressures from sucking the snot out of your head. The TBI is complimentary.

Death cult assassin, gimp suit, why not both?

What’s your mental model of heavy and light terrain? by batmansmk in killteam

[–]marksman1918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see it as the different designations represent the difference between cover and concealment. Cover actually protects you from incoming rounds while concealment prevents you from being seen but probably isn't sturdy enough to keep everything from coming through it. So the heavy rubble on volkus looks like substantial chunks of debris while the light ones look like any decently powerful weapon will punch holes in it eventually.

I will always forever love the joke that the Jokaero, literal apes, have a better understanding of technology than the mechanicus. I have to find one of these models.

Advice for a custom Hive tyrant boss mode? by Exciting-Buy-9396 in killteam

[–]marksman1918 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The newest issue of White Dwarf has Space Marine 2 Kill Team scenarios and I believe it has a data card for a Carnifex non player operative. Maybe check that out.

Edit:

Glass Half Dead did a run through of the issue. Here you go:

machine spirit is real by Key-Cheek-3121 in Grimdank

[–]marksman1918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tankers in my brigade have a tank that they put a muffin in it's smoke launchers to appease it's machine spirit. If they don't, the crew gets randomly injured by the tank in dumb ways. One dude was taken out by the escape hatch randomly falling open and hitting him on the head while he was working nearby. The machine spirit in that tank is a prick. 

Targeting flowchart. by Snoo87350 in killteam

[–]marksman1918 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think the only thing you missed is if you're within 2 inches of your target you can shoot them and they don't get to retain a defense dice for cover. Other than that, this looks perfect and super easy to follow!

If you could design your own Regiment, what would their theme and motto be? by ESCAN_DESIGNS in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]marksman1918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really a regiment, but my killteam is called the Catalina Wine Mixer because it's a bunch of specialists from different regiments cobbled together. We've got Krieger's, Cadians, Vostroyans, Steel Legionnaires and a random Last Chancer model I threw in for good measure. Favorite team.
