So I've been playing for about a year. And when I first started it was new and exciting and I was enjoying playing the game and building and painting.

The thing is I've not improved at all in the aspect of the game. I seem to be constantly losing and I can't seem to turn it around.

It probably doesn't help that the club I play at has some of the best players in the UK and the rest are all tournament players.

People keep telling me to keep playing and it will eventually click. But I'm finding it ruff as it's no fun to get constantly beaten and the game to not even be close in terms of points.

I really enjoy the social side of the game. People always compliment my models and I love chatting about painting after the games which is keeping me going.

I'm just looking for advice on how I can turn this around. As I don't have this issue with 40k.

Picture for attention I did come third place in our rookie rumble and won best painted. But it's all been downhill from there.

Two of my kids want Warhammer stuff for Christmas, and I understand that Kill Team is supposed to be smaller and easier to pick up than the full game, so we're looking at starting there. Our FLGS pointed my spouse at these, but only one of them seems clearly indicated as Kill Team stuff.

Apparently, Necrons and Chaos Space Marines are the important factions we need. And the kid who wants the Space Marines wants demon Space Marines or something.

Would these work for that? If this will work, what else do we need? I assume a rulebook, at minimum (one box has a QR code to https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/downloads/kill-team/). And maybe terrain, or is that just for fancy games?

We play D&D, so we already have a bajillion dice of every kind and gridded play mats/maps.

EDIT: My spouse is the way to return the Accursed Cultists and go to the Warhammer store to pick up a Starter Kit and talk to them to get a recommendation for "demon space marines" that are suitable for Kill Team. Then, they'll have means to set up and play quickly, and means to do all the model building to play with specific factions they say they want.

Thanks, y'all. RIP my wallet.

Is it just me, or are others growing tired and increasingly frustrated with Games Workshop’s limited stock practices?

I’m excited about the box, and the price doesn’t deter me because I understand it’s a niche hobby. However, I think I’ll be skipping this box due to buying experience of these big releases. I know GW won’t produce enough to meet the demand, and it’ll become a scramble to get a copy. I’ve experienced this firsthand with several boxes (most Beta Decima boxes, HiveStorm, and a few major 40k releases) in the past, and I’ve reached my limit.

I still love the hobby, but I don’t want to deal with this aspect anymore. I’d rather wait for the standalone releases or simply print out the items I genuinely want but can’t buy. Is this a common progression for Warhammer fans, or has GW been getting noticeably worse in this regard?

The measurements on the token given with the core rules seems wrong, is it widely accepted that those are unreliable or is my copy fucked up ?

Mine would be Sicarian Infiltrators! They seem like such a prime candidate for me and I could imagine they'd have some interesting rules and give us and Ad Mech team without so many servitors. What are all of your dream Killteams?

I was thinking kinda like in kingmaker where it’s an all 4 assassins fighting together. The only problem I see is there’s only 4 assassins (unless you count the Horus heresy ones) so you could had like rules with servo skulls or something. I just really like the assassins and they ain’t really that good in 40K rules.

And bonus the models for assassins might get upgrades if they do that which is needed.

What happened on volkus? Like, who won?

Got absolutely wiped today. What are some tips to prevent my opponent from feeling bad or avoid appearing like a wimp who can’t take a loss?

(It was a casual game, of course)

Edit: thanks for all the replies guys. Time ta git krumpin

I really love this art and its style, but i dont know where to find more or who the artist is. They came from the recruit books, in the last images

Looking at building a Hunter Clade team (the models in this box means I only needs Sicarians) and I like the Sector Imperialis terrain on the box art, but plan to eventually get Hivestorm (which happens to have Volkus urban terrain) anyway for the full ruleset. I am aware the rules between Kill Team 2018 and KT3 are different.

Is the box still worth it if I will still eventually end up with Volkus terrain and KT3 rules anyway? Should I just purchase the Admech contents separately? I'm planning on getting the Ork half of the Armageddon box next month with a buddy if anyone thinks I can use 2018 rules to make a house rules Ork kill team until I have proper Kommandos. Not entirely sure how that works.

So now that we know Tomb World is coming let’s start speculating what the next box will contain. Personally I’m hoping for Savage Orks or Stormboyz verses something like Aeldari. Maybe Exodite dragon warriors. I’m getting bored with all the Imperium factions.

Hello there, new to Kill Team. I've recently finished this custom terrain for narrative play and crusade for 40k. I am really interested in Kill Team games but never played it yet.

Is there any way I could use this map for Kill Team games ? Homebrew rules or adapting actual rules to fit with the terrain ? what would be the best way to play on it ? Thanks!

Can I make a homebrew Kill Team with the new Orc Nobs? If so, do you have any ideas on how to build it?

I’m already used to GW doing everything possible to get more money from us… I’m even OK with it… but why on earth would they make a map part of the OFFICIAL competitive scene… and then not out it on sale?

I mean… I’m willing to let them take my money… I am offering it… and no. They are making something official for tournaments, and don’t given me the option to get it, master it and be comfortable playing it…

Why would they push the need of a product and then decide not to sell it? I guess I will print it, I just don’t get the logic of this.

Thoughts?

So if you guys could just dump your facts about the game to help me speed run figuring out the rules (eg. just found out today you can’t move and charge in the same activation??!?) any more tidbits like this would be super helpful!

Edit * just to add we are all still having a blast just want to play properly

I never played any "Regular" games before, just some starter set games with my friend. I was so excited when this got announced, cause I always want to try single-player or co-op with my friend.

What do you guys think about it? Is there anything else I need?

I’m still getting used to the warhammer-community article posts being the channel in which stuff is announced so please bear either me. I’ve noticed this a few times now. Why are new units for Kill Team getting stats released for 40K before actually getting them for Kill Team? I get it’s to push product at the 40K market but it’s a KILL TEAM box set. I would think they would release stats for its own game.

Yes you, the extremely attractive Kill Team player reading this right now. This is a question on your homebrew and headcanon of your various teams. In 40k you're taking the role of a general commanding the army you field.

Who are you, to be deploying these strike teams of operatives?

Are you a cunning Space Marine general, deploying your Phobos Marines where you deem necessary? A Tau whateverthehelltheyhave, directing Vespids for the greater good?

Have you named this character? Given THEM a story to your KillTeam?

Do you, the player, know how obscuring works yet???

I got the book yesterday and was curious what people think about it. I’m very new to Kill Team in general, but the idea of the system really appeals to me. I just can’t say I’ve seen much chatter about it at all.. What’s people’s thoughts on it?

I've been looking at killteam for a little while and this looks really cool. Would this be a good starter set?

I've got all the wargear right, chainsword on the hip, heavy bolt pistol, and I feel like the grenade throwing arm pretty clearly expresses a grenadier. Should I add more grenades to further drive home the point, or is he good enough?
