I'd love it if the game went to single-codex lists, but I know that's not going to happen so I'm not going to push for it. There are potential other solutions though: - CP generated by a detachment can only be used by detachments sharing keywords (Imperium, Chaos, etc... not included) - only get to use stratagems from your warlord's codex - a certain percentage of a list has to be from your warlord's codex Any one of those would put a damper on how crazy allies can be currently.

I don't mind mixed armies. I just don't like that monocodex armies seem to be at a disadvantage.

Its more fun to me that way too, very band of misfits. Also after bullying the new tau player by grinding them to a break we taught them the crazy stuff they can do with killteam lists so ive passed it forward by creating a new monster. Gun drones are vicious. Beer4TheBeerGod posted:I don't mind mixed armies. I just don't like that monocodex armies seem to be at a disadvantage.

S5 basic guns with long range means they're more likely to be within rapid fire/not suffering range penalties, and if you put them behind terrain they're disgustingly hard to put down for how cheap they are. I ended up rolling "Die Hard" for my Fire Warrior fireteam in the first campaign we played and those fuckers would just eat bullets for breakfast because the only injury roll that could take one out was a 6.  Charging the Frag Cannon Deathwatch dude from cover was hilarious, because I don't give a poo poo whether you rolled 2 shots or 12, most of them are going to wound, about half of them are going to go through armor, and then you get one chance to roll a 6 on the injury dice. Have at thee, motherfucker

The team i was against was all firewarriors and some pathfinders with markerlights. The big mistake i think was the player was really insistent on setting up the markerlights and it didnt pay off in the end, it was still a very close game and they had enough map control and damage on me they might have taken it turn 4 before i started getting real good on rolls and killy turn 5. I was super excited at the end because they did move close enough to the frag cannon so it was the first time in my career ive gotten to use the shotgun profile for it instead of just shells. Rolling 11 hit dice made my day, honest.

Markerlights are painfully irrelevant in Killteam. Pathfinders are good for turbo-blitzing objectives with a 7+D6" move and still being able to shoot afterward and for bringing a rail rifle or two because the rail rifle profile in killteam is the same as in regular 40K and that's disgusting. It's also only 5 points.

Just make it so at 2k points you start with 15 CP (or whatever, the number you start with is a balancing point) and each detachment you add costs some number of CP (battalions would probably be 1, brigades 0, SHA 3 or something). All current armies would still be legal but a mono BA list would be sitting at 14-15 points while the current lists would be starting with 8-10.

NovemberMike posted:Yeah, Pathfinders are kind of weird in KT because they're good but they've got some useless stuff you shouldn't really use much. Yeah, if you’re taking a pathfinder it’s either for a rail rifle gunner (hopefully boosted by a recon drone and comma specialist) to just delete a model a turn, or as cheap squishy bodies to run around and shoot their carbine. It’s a bad idea to use their markerlights - giving up one model’s shooting just isn’t worth it, especially in a model that’s so likely to get hurt and get you closer to breaking.

Soviet Commubot posted:I quite playing for a couple of years because of those exact same problems. I'm sure somebody will be able to break down why the game is better far more eloquently than I can but I just wanted to let you know that I still feel your pain. I'll probably have nightmares about Slaaneshi Siren Prince daemon bomb armies tonight. My nightmares were Blood Angels and Bugs. Shooting The Big Ones Never Helped. Can someone eloquently break down why the game is better than before as far as close combat is concerned? Falling back out of CC is an improvement, what would a Guard army do then? Counter charge a fresh unit in (though you still can't shoot into CC can you)? Fall back and let someone else with a big gun shoot in? Apart from Ogryn's, what else can you user? I always tried to use my Rough Riders to counter charge but it never seemed to ever work.

This is probably a better question for the AoS thread but are the Dark I’d prefer not to use the Mad Robot or Vicky Lamb ones because they’re not armored so they don’t represent the 4+ that the DKoK Death Riders get (while the more demi-lancer armor the Empire legs show do)? E: Also posting on the  page.

Their victory comes at great cost; of the strike force, only the Librarian Maltis escapes the planet to warn Calgar of the threat lurking at the edge of the Vigilus System, with his fellow battle-brothers recorded missing in action.

He's not an Ultramarines named character, he's "a Captain in Phobos Armour, which is usable by any Space Marines Chapter along with the other Vanguard units in the set. " GW have been naming most of the generic characters for a while, such as Blood Angels Primaris Lieutenant Tolmeron or Dark Angels Primaris Lieutenant Zakariah. And this one is obviously painted as Ultramarines because that's what the studio army is.
