For Slaneesh

Hello all,

This is the last pre Icon installment as the con is this weekend, so without further ado, let me present the last two kill teams:

Chaos Marines Kill Team: Emperors Children

• 5 Noise Marines
• 1 Sonic Blaster
• 1 Blast Master
• Noise Champion with Power Sword

Champion Strakis: Strakis is a veteran of countless battles with the forces of the falseEmperor. As such, he has learned many lifetimes worth of knowledge regarding how hisenemies will fight and can often anticipate their reactions. Strakis has Preferred Enemy(Imperium) USR

Volkis: Centries of wielding his Blastmaster have given Volkis an edge when dealing withopponents who close range with him. He has learned to stand his ground, firing until hisenemy is almost upon him, before springing into action even as they charge at him. Volkishas the Counter Attack USR

Sigurd Stonecleaver

Space Wolves Kill Team

• 5 Wolf Scouts
• Plasma Pistol
• Power Weapon
• Meltagun
• 1 Lone Wolf with Storm Shield and Thunderhammer

Wolf Scout Sigurd Stonecleaver: Sigurd is one of the fastest Wolf Scouts on foot. He hasmade a game of it amongst his brothers and can often be seen participating in races that hehimself has organized. In battle, he can often be seen charging after his enemy from greatdistances, preferring to chase down his foe and slay them with his Power Axe instead ofshooting at them. Sigurd has the Fleet USR.

Lone Wolf Olaf: Olaf Thorstein is the last surviving member of his pack. Driven to near insanity by his grief,he seeks an end to his suffering. He is consumed by a power anger when confronting hisfoes and pursues all enemies without regard to his own life or limb. Olaf has the Rage USR.

For those of you going to Icon (you know who you are), I’ll be running Kill Team games Friday night from 6pm – 11pm in SAC Ballroom A at Table 5.

Kill Team Paradise

Hey all,

The map to the left is the layout I’m planning on for the Kill Team game I’m running at ICON. As noted before, this is a 4×4 layout and will likely turn into a shootout pretty quickly. Hopefully people are going to have a good deal of fun with this. I’ve also been refining some of my Kill Team concepts, including USRs/Special Rules for some models. Remember that 5th Ed Kill Team rules treat each model as an individual a la Necromunda or Mordheim instead of being a part of a unit like 40k. Below are a few examples of what I am experimenting with.

Space Marines Kill Team: Deathwatch Kill Team (Sternguard)

• 7 Sternguard Veterans
• Sargent equiped with Lightning Claw
• Combi-Flamer
• Heavy Bolter

Notable Members:

Brother Sargent Hastur: Brother Sargent Davis Hastur has served with the Deathwatch for over a century and as such has far more experience than most in the combat styles and tactics of the xenos threats that members of Deathwatch typically face. Sargent Hastur has the Prefered Enemies (Xenos) USR.

Brother Octavius: Brother Octavius’ Heavy Bolter has been equiped with suspensors allowing him to continue firing while on the move. Brother Octvaius has the Relentless USR when using his Heavy Bolter’s normal profile. Additionally he may choose to use Hellfire ammunition following the below profile, though he must stand still to do so as he manually feeds in the shell:

Hellfire Round: Range 36″; Str X (wounds on a 2+) AP- ; Heavy 1; Blast

Tau Kill Team: Stealth Team

• 4 Stealth Suits w/ Drone Controllers
• 2 Gun Drones Per Suit

Noteable Members:

Shas’ui Kavass: Shas’ui Kavass was seriously injured during the conflict on Medusa V. Because of this, Earth Caste engineers have fitted an experimental medical device into his XV25 Stealth Suit allowing Kavass to ignore the effects of his injuries and continue fighting at peak efficiency. Shas’ui Kavass has the Feel No Pain USR.

Shas’ui Drogan: Shas’ui Drogan is an expert in battlesuit combat. Like most Firewarriors, he avoids close combat wherever possible and has gone out of his way to learn how to effectively disengage from an enemy in order to bring his battlesuit weapons to bear. Shas’ui Drogan has the Hit & Run USR.

For the Greater Good: If Shas’ui Drogan loses the initiative check to disengage from combat with Hit & Run, he may choose to sacrifice one of his gun drones in order to make his escape. The gun drone slams into one enemy model and automatically hits once at Str 3 (roll to wound and save as normal). The gun drone is immediately destroyed and Drogan automatically breaks away per the Hit & Run USR. Drogan is unable to use this ability if he has no more drones available.

Keep checking back here for more updates on this project.
