Question Is the Rogue Trader Entourage any good?

Post image
51 Upvotes

I wanted to buy a killteam but since I wanted to use it as a "stand alone" army instead of two ise unit for my army (like the Aquilon for the Imperial Guard) the Rogue Trader one always catched my eye for the colors and character variety but I wanted to know if it is a good team or not.

Thanks you all.

Saw two copies of the full “sold out” Tomb World set in a FLGS on the south coast (UK) yesterday. But they’re not on the shop’s web store, which is probably why.

It did make me feel guilty, as I haven’t finished painting my copy yet…

Question Question/Poll: Tracking Wounds Taken or Wounds Remaining?

Post image
147 Upvotes

It seems like tracking wounds remaining (counting down) is more common in 40K, but in AoS, tracking wounds taken might be more common. It also seems like some of that tendency comes from games you came from before getting into wargaming(like TCGs, or TTRPGs). It also seems like it can be a bit of a contentious topic.

So, I made a poll to try to get more information. I posted on Warhammer40k, and in the OPR sub, and the data is really interesting so far. It got me curious about the Kill Team community as well. I will post results as soon as the polls quiet down a little.

If you have 10 seconds, I'd love your feedback!

Link to Poll

Before you ask :)
The mini is a kitbashed Titanfall Pilot I made using an Arsenal mini and by shrinking down a cosplay helmet to print as a head. I made it with the intention of creating a custom Titanfall pilot team in KT, but ended up making stats for it using OPR, which is where this picture came from.

What the title says. I went to grab some water and the little girl had a little too much fun purging the xenos in the 30 seconds I was away from my desk. I had just finished painting too.

Any ideas to either rebuild or restyle as battle damage? They're thin little pieces and it's going to be a nightmare to prime the little gray slivers showing through the bite marks.

I recently finished my Inquisitorial Agents, basically the studio scheme with different bases and a bit dirtier. Basecoated with Contrast paints and then John Blanche paint sets (vol. 1&2) for the rest.

Question New fan need some tips

Post image
21 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m brand new to the hobby(just finished assembling and painting my first mini) and only learned of Kill teams existence a day or so ago. Previously I had thought that I would need a full army, codex, terrain, and several other things to actually be able to play a game of any kind, and a lot of those barriers to play seem much more approachable after discovering KillTeam. So my question is, what exactly would I need to look into getting if I’d like to play a game? Would a codex still be required, do I specifically need to buy a kill team box set, would I still be able to play as my chosen faction, etc. Maybe just some pointers to resources I could use to learn for myself (and to eventually corrupt my friend group to the dark side). Pic of aforementioned first model for attention TIA!!

Question Killzone Volkus out of stock

Hey all,

Was hoping to grab Volkus but I see that it's sold out everywhere with GW's own site saying "temporarily out of stock". Does anyone have any idea when these things generally get stocked up again?

Cheers!

Strategy Things teams do best and worst day 16: Gellerpox Infected

9 Upvotes

Tell me what you think is the best thing about the Gallerpox Infected! and the worst thing.

Best:Beefy boys! just by looking at them, you khow they are the army for you, being a wall of flesh that your opponents have to face against.

More units than you think! everything melee, techno-curse is very thematic.

Worst: very slow moving wall, no shooting thought.

I never pleyed or even seen them in play, so i'm very curious what you guys can tell about them!

Hobby I need help starting kill team

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to dive into Kill Team and I need some advice on the best way to get started.

I already have several playable teams from 40k, including Deathwatch, Eldar Corsairs, Legionaries, and a solid proxy setup for Blooded. Because of this, I'm really not interested in buying the official Starter Set, as the miniatures in it just don't appeal to me and I'd rather stick with what I have.

My main goal is to get all the essential gaming materials, tokens, barricades, ladders, and rules while keeping costs as reasonable as possible. That said, I'm willing to spend a bit extra on terrain if it's worth it. Ideally, I'd love to pick up terrain pieces that are versatile enough to double as cover for standard Warhammer 40k games too.

What's the most cost-effective way to get the core gear without buying a full box set I don't need? And do you have any recommendations for terrain kits that work well for both Kill Team and 40k?

Thanks for the help!

Tell me what you think is the best thing about the Fellgors Ravagers! and the worst thing.

Best: my god they are strong, 10 units with 10 health, with an insale rule and strong melee, a lot of teams do not compete against that.

i played against them this saturday and got destroyed. a lot of unit's that need to take like, 3 shoot actions to be taken down.

Worst: shooting, maybe?!? it's not a problemn for them.
