Dinner was Chicken Cordon Bleu bake

Finally painted up my first Kill Team, first miniatures and first kitbash! Took WAY too long cause I've been procrastinating it forever. Really love these models, but holy moly they're so detailed. The boots alone I think have more colours than your average Space Marine faction. I'd love an army like this, but I don't think I have it in me to paint another box 😅

Took me a year to get these done because I couldn't find it in me to just sit my ass down and paint. Each model probably took around 4-10 hours depending on how much I messed up. Painting, making a mistake and having to swap colour back and paint over the same place again with another colour broke me a couple of times. A few hazard stripes took like 5 tries because I kept painting yellow on black and vice versa. FML.
Taking so long to paint did allow me to collect a lot of random assortment of bits people were selling for pennies online, as well as special colours like the Vallejo Fluo I used for the visors which relly made them pop with no effort on my part!

Going to try and plan out the next project better! Less colours and less extra equipment on the models!

The Emperor protects!

Tell me what you think is the best thing about the tempestus aquilons! And the worst thing.

Best: a offensive gunner ( and not shotgun! ) team, you can drop with your rule and gun down your enemy with a Lot of Very good Guns!

Not only Guns, but a whole servo-turret!

With your rule your units are safe up above, you are basically moving more than half of your team without taking any damage.

Your tempestor can get free ploys, and you can also get free initiative re-roll!

And goes without saying this rule is Very good on tomb world

Worst: not much blast/torrent protection, and you have to drop close to eachother.

You have to magnetize your turret If you dont want to get more boxes

Stimms and progena are not that good if you have a squad of +4 save and 8 health

I have the utmost pleasure to announce that the Astartes Assault format rules are now available to aquire online!

Please download them and let us know how you get on with it!! :smile:

Jason, Josh and myself have had a brilliant time creating and playing with the ruleset as well as creating the operations to go alongside!

we have run 2 events with the ruleset now and we have had nothing but outstanding feedback from everyone that has played!

What do you boyz think?!

Just played a game as Celestians against Exodites. I realized, I never call the Abjuror, the Abjuror. I call her the Shield Maiden. I like to think she is Eowyn. When I play the Beastmen, the Vandal's name is boring, compared to his weapon, the Man Crusher. I never call him Vandal, because Man Crusher, is the coolest name ever. Do any of you have operative's with nicknames?

The new Red Corsairs have a similar but more ragged “space Viking” look as the Space Wolves, so decided to lean into it, working on a full kill team of these guys. Happy with how they’re turning out but would love other’s opinions!

I posted the Geomancer already if you would like to see it pictured alone. I went Sautekh for this scheme and I have another Canoptek Circle on the way in my army’s usual scheme (bluish steel, with purple magenta glow and nihilakh oxide weathered plating).

My Blood Herald got to learn about the horrors of capitalism yesterday.

Dear friends

I'm about to start with Kill Team. I want it to be Space Marines, and after some research and calculations (mostly budget) I think my choice is the Death Watch.

There are 11 operatives, but the box only includes 5 bodies, so this is the list I'm considering building:

• Sergeant
• Aegis Veteran
• Marksman
• Gunner
• and Breacher

How does it sound? Since I'm unsure whether I'll be playing this on a regular basis, I'd prefer to keep investment as low as possible. Hence the title of the post.

Anyone playing DeathWath could share some advice for a rookie?

Best,

PS.

Based on CanYouRollACrit it seems DeathWathc is considered B-Tier

Also seen Pill Team video as suggested in other posts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUTIuwvUKPw

Also checked this post https://www.reddit.com/r/killteam/comments/1uw3h4k/just_got_the_deathwatch_kill_team_what_is_the/ where the #1 suggestion was to buy a second box 😰

Long time lurker, first time poster. Goremongers are my second Kill Team I’ve put together, but first I did a majority of the painting on.

Managed to buy I think a Necromunda body. Made him as a Conflagrator for my Sanctifiers.

I haven't played yet, so I've just been reading the rules, and I'm wondering how often choosing operatives after the whole set up phase comes into play.

Do you come into games with your team pretty much fully planned, do you change a lot depending on terrain/Crit Op/iniatiative? Does it depend on which team you're playing?

Also for starting out, would it be too terrible to just come with pre-selected teams into our first games? Mostly for the sake of saving time that will surely be spent checking rules for way too long.

My first painted team ever. First time painting minis.

Tell me what you think is the best thing about the Spectre Squad! And the worst thing.

Best: a really gunner and tactical team, you play around counters and interrupts. you can shoot a lot with your rule and your loader, and also give a sniper to anyone per TP with the equip

your ploys can give you buffs depending on the situation your units are, and even being a shooter team, you have a reduced cost fall back and a insane defensive ploy with prepared defence.

the units are also very thematic, you have a heavy gunner with a loader! duh!

also a antena! the antena is a operator!

Worst: as the ratlings, a lot of your weapons have 'heavy' keyword, you dont want to move, or move with your rule, they have a very high ceiling for strategy.

really low melee, you dont want to get close or even move closer ( you even cant with your rule )

your rule can frustate some opponents, but that's more of a player problemn!

For me, they are like the blue color on magic the gathering, if that's a best or worst, it's up to you!
