I think it's the left arm that attaches to the weapon at the wrist and the gun has the hand molded on. On a part that small, I can probably get away with using some Oyamaru and making a dupe. Or just getting a second box.

I got away with some creative filing/trimming of another unused arm. Sadly I don't remember the part number.

You absolutely want the plasma. The melta can be handy when fighting teams with invulns, so it's nice to have, but plasma is king, esp. when you can give yourself re-rolling 1s.

In KT, is there a reason that the "MWs" rule exists instead of just making it crit damage?

ex: a LongLas has D: 3/3 with MWs3 as the special ability. Isn't this functionally the same as having it be D: 3/6?

You can critical save to protect against a normal crit, but the mortal wounds still go through if the crit is saved.

Functionally yes but basically if you crit with a melta or sniper you're guaranteed those wounds as they can't be saved unless with Feel no Pain or whatever

Yes. For every crit you roll, you do the MW damage. So if you rolled 3 6s and they rolled 36s, you do 9 wounds. Which is why melta is used against invulns because it stacks so much MW on crits.

No, because mortal wounds are not a attack with a damage characteristic.

I'm planning a test run of KT using just some Death Guard, pox walkers, and Primaris, tomorrow. First game, just warriors, no equipment but probably using tac ops because they seem like a really cool/important part. So yeah DR is on my mind.

The wording of DR is:

Disgustingly Resilient: Each time this operative would lose a
wound, roll one 06: on a 5+, that wound is not lost. Other than the
effects of Battle Scars, this operative can not be injured.

This doesn't seem like it matter what the source of the lost wounds are; just that wounds are lost, so unless there's a different wording for Mortals, I'd say that it does.

If you don't care about the cards, $20 a warband isn't bad. I want to say they're at least $30 when GW sells them as just sprues.

In Kill Team, how long are the placeable barricades and how many do I need for max play at most? Like, assuming both players deploy one at game start?

I'm going to mock up some rough tank trap type barricades from the sprue of this Chalnath box.

2"x1"

Each player deploys 2 at start by default, then pregame each player can choose to deploy one more if they choose the "Fortify" scouting option. So most you'd ever need is 6.

As others have said if you have even a little green stuff there are other items you can lop the hand off of and make it work. I haven't been able to so far, but it's also the first time I've tried modifying a piece.

Just came back from my first game of Kill Team, an open play game of 3 Intercessors and 3 Reivers vs 3 Plague Marines and 8 Pox Walkers. No Equipment, and we both only picked from the Search and Destroy Tac Ops to keep things simple.

It's a lot of fun! Much more palatable for my friend than when I tried to make him play Flames of War a year or so ago. This he actually liked and we can play again some time.

Also, uh, holy poo poo disgustingly resilient is good. You get to roll it when fighting! I saw Pox Walkers tangle with Reavers and come out ahead. Granted, there were other times when rolling 5 3+ meant you'd take a pox walker from full wounds to dead in a single swipe, but maaan that resilient working in a fight is a Big Deal.

Edit: Also, I only have the terrain from the chalnath boxed set and I really feel like it need a full half dozen more pieces; the board still looked way too open, as much as I tried to craft an appropriate layout.

Depends on what type of game you’ll be playing. Easiest for learning is a basic 500-point cruiser clash - Specialist Arms has a BFG board with suggested starter fleets to get to grips with the mechanics (first list introduces basic fleets, 2nd game adds escorts, 3rd adds fighters and bombers and the all-important Nova Cannon) and free STLs for all the ships designed by one of the several sculptors keeping this game alive-ish. I’m using them as a good way to teach people, plus giving printed files to folks who are interested.

I think standard is about 1500 points for when you can afford the bigger ships.

4/10 of the 8-hour prints for my Space Hulk are finished and cleaned. Gonna wait until I’ve got them all printed before final curing. It’s already absolutely gigantic.

So!

People will tell you Kill Team takes an hour to play, and that may be true for experienced players, but if e us it was about two and a half hours from the time I walked through his door to when the game was stored away again.

Here's how it went for me:

My friend started reviewing the rules, which he'd never seen before then, when I was setting up terrain, and was still doing reviewing them maybe fifteen minutes later.

Then we spent the better part of another half hour doing a lot of things necessary to the start of the game, like setting up models, picking tac ops, discussing what eve tac ops are and whether they should or shouldn't be excluded from this streamlined first game (we included them because they're such a strong driver of gameplay, and it was the right decision).

So, after all that, we finally start the first turn strategies or whatever (recon, fortify, etc). From that point on, right there: about two hours.


Speaking of being a new player, there are some things I want to kind of bounce off the thread:

Plague Marines and pox walkers move very slowly but their dash and charge are the same as everyone else (excepting that I think charge is, like, your move distance +X)?

You really can just fall back out of a fight with no penalty other than being unable to take another move action? Or am I overlooking some check or complication?

I don't really understand the details of entering or leaving concealment/engagement. We sort of naturally adopted a procedure of declaring some people as concealed at the start, moved them up the board according to our understanding of concealment, and once they declared an attack we engaged them and never had anyone renter concealment. But I know there's real rules about re-entering concealment: when you can, how to become engaged again, etc.

We couldn't understand how to set a unit into overwatch and didn't do it, we assumed that if you didn't have a unit shoot they could enter into overwatch instead, but we were just guessing.

Oh haha I just realized I forgot all about, what, consolidate moves after a fight?
