r/killteam

Been having a blast painting this guy so far.

Full roster of Ventrillian Nobles for my Veteran Guardsmen kill team. Death Korps of Krieg models with Empire heads.

I’ve always wanted to learn to play. The Phobos strike team always seemed pretty cool, and I’ve never painted a whole space marine squad before. After a month I’m very excited I can finally bring these guys to the table!

I’ve always been curious about the starstriders, so I thought I’d kitbash a team to try them out, and they’re ain’t no kitbash like a dark mech kitbash.

First picture are all the specialists, second picture has the voidsmen.

As of 4:00 last night, I’m done. Tomb world and volkus terrain are completed as well. Made it through the entire backlog and officially have nothing left unpainted.

​

I’m looking for some advice on how to best score Plant Banner with Angels of Death in Kill Team.

From what I’ve seen, this seems to be a popular Tac Op for AoD and other elite teams into a lot of matchups, but I’ve been struggling to actually score it consistently. In practice, I usually end up falling back on Dominate, and sometimes Rout, because Plant Banner feels awkward to pull off.

For background, I’ve got a couple dozen games under my belt and I’m currently playing in a narrative campaign with this roster:

- Intercessor Sergeant with Stalker Bolt Rifle and Power Sword

- Grenadier

- Intercessor Gunner with Stalker Bolt Rifle

- Phobos Eliminator

- Intercessor Warrior with Bolt Rifle

- Assault Intercessor Warrior

My Chapter Tactics are:

- Resolute

- Sharpshooter

I know this is not a finely tuned or fully optimized list, and I realize the Intercessor Sergeant is not the strongest choice, but that is part of the narrative campaign. The Chapter Tactics felt like a good fit for Dark Angels and their Grim Resolve. A lot of the group is newer as well, so people are generally not min-maxing.

The other teams in the campaign are:

- Legionaries (Fallen)

- Nemesis Claw (Bile's Creations)

- Stealth Suits

- Navy Breachers

- Ork Wreckas

I’d be really interested in hearing from people who have had success with Plant Banner on elite teams, especially AoD.

A few things I’d love input on:

- When do you choose Plant Banner over Dominate or Rout?

- Which operative usually carries the plan for you?

- Are there certain matchups where Plant Banner is much better or much worse?

- How aggressive do you need to be with board control to make it realistic?

I feel like I understand why the Tac Op is supposed to be good, but on the table I have a hard time actually scoring it without overexposing one of my few operatives.

Would appreciate any advice, especially from people who’ve played AoD or other elite teams into similar matchups.

First deathwatch model that I’m getting finished and he’s coming along nicely. Let me know what you think or any C&C, last pic I upped the light so the highlights would show better

Had my first two games today!

Was playing Nemesis Claw (that im currently painting for my bf), vs heirotek circle (Chronomancer and all warriors, the squig proxying as the accelerator, and the pot grot as the reanimator)

The first game was 15 13 to necrons, with my aggression killing all but the ventrilokar, but with my Visionary being heroic in killing 2 warriors all by himself over 5 ROUNDS of combat in round 4. However the necrons healing was on point, and the gauss blasters are VERY scary.

Game 2 was taken by the Nemesis Claw, after a concede, after a crack (not krak!) shot from the missile launcher killing 2 warriors, and the Visionary failing to kill a warrior which was disappointing ;-;

Altho 2 questions:

Can blast target an operative in control range? (as shown in the last pic)?

How does climbing work (especially on volkus terrain)

Hello Killteamers, I am looking to sell my Salamanders themed Angels of Death killteam, but have no idea where to advertise the sale. I'll include some pictures of the painted models, as some are still in progress. Any tips about selling or just how much I should be asking for would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

how do you like them apples?
