I have also been shanghai'd into a kill team group, and I have chosen VG as my team. Any advice on how to play them for an absolute noob would be muchly appreciated.

Thank you for all that. Having played basically 1 game (sort of), of kill team, are there general tips for the game? It's good to know that I've got one of the more complex teams to use :commisar: Although everyone is petty new to the game, so that helps.

Covermeinsunshine posted:From my limited (2 months of playing) experience veteran guardsmen can be crazy strong but they are probably least "smooth brain" factionin the game so they do require a lot from the pilot Dang. I'm like smooth as glass. Any tips for a brand new player? I have the "Guardsmen Choke the enemy with the bodies of their dead" down pretty pat.

Al-Saqr posted:Hmmmmmmmmm I'm sure you understand that there's a significant financial barrier, even for kill team, that can he highly discouraging for some people. The only reason I got into kill team is that I had a bunch of store credit ($250) to spend thanks to winning stuff with my other 'set money on fire hobby' mtg. And even then, I still have had to spend another $75 for the hobby side of things, and borrow paint from a bunch of my friends who are already into the hobby. Whereas when you buy a board game, that's it. No additional spend. I'm not saying that this isn't a great game, because it is, or that painting miniatures isn't awesome, but some people don't want to make that commitment. Full stop.

Z the IVth posted:10 different versions of Zombicide get funded within minutes with basic kickstarter sets costing more than a Kill Team starter would disagree with you. I totally get it, but there's something about buying the game, then buying other stuff, then buying other stuff on top of that (which aren't game pieces per se - like paint) that is somehow different than "everything you need comes in this box! Pay us $400" I don't know. I don't get it either.

Al-Saqr posted:Got my Kill Team starter box! so hyped to start building and playing! You kind of have a problem with Krieg specifically. If you only have one box: https://www.reddit.com/r/killteam/comments/swz5hj/recommendation_optimal_build_for_the_death_korps/ Ideally you have two sets worth of guardsmen: https://www.reddit.com/user/Noeq/comments/suzqt5/guide_assembly_guide_for_the_death_korps_of_krieg/ I bought two boxes of VG so I could field the 14 model option, and also have all of the potential options available (except for bad choices like laspistol + melee for the Sgt Veteran or the Confidant). Have a look at those guides, and don't be that concerned about the kitbashing the second link requires you do to - I did it with very little issues, and I have never ever touched minis before in my life, and manage to pull it off without the kitbashed model looking like Frankenstein's monster. As for model choices, the current team I use is: Sgt Veteran with Plas pistol and Power Sword Confidant with Bolter Gunner - Melta Gunner - Grenadier Gunner - Plasma Zealot Comms Sniper Spotter Medic Anciliary support Trooper x4 Although I am playing a NARRATIVE campaign, and I am very VERY new to the game. I went with as much shooty as I could muster. I think that the Demo veteran is a fine choice, as is the Flamer gunner, depending on who you are facing. It's pretty universally accepted that the Bruiser Veteran is pretty poop.

Al-Saqr posted:I researched online and looked through that krieg builds on that reddit post, apparently the single-box krieg that comes in the starter set is severely compromised, those ancillary troops are pretty important and so is being able to field 14 troops with the full gunner options, I’ll just get another veteran box so I can have the full uncompromised team, and use what I have now to learn the ropes of the game in the meantime while it’s shipping. Lol GW got me again. This is why I bought two boxes for my VG. Having done it myself, make sure that you put the medic backpack on the running medic (if that's what you like), and you should make a 5th trooper veteran (or something) other than a second medic, because you'll never use a second medic. Lumpy posted:Go to the supermarket and buy a $2.99 bag of 20 army men in the toy aisle. Prime 4 of them, and you have your ancillary troops. They are also good for testing out painting techniques! While I was waiting for my VG boxes, I was using my friends 10 model VG + 4 Lego mini figs. It was wonderful.

Is it big enough to use masking tape? If you want straight lines, that's an easy way to do it.

You may have a point there!

War and Pieces posted:Nu Kill Team has level ups and injuries and stuff but they're extremely optional and I've never seen anyone use them or talk about them like that. That's a Spec Ops campaign. I'm playing one of those with 5 of my friends right now. It's pretty fun, although from what I understand, the power level gets out of hand pretty quickly.

Siivola posted:It's a $30 season pass and that's horse poo poo. That's a crazy over reaction considering the text of the cards literally on the review of the item (if you look at glass half dead yt review). No one is forcing you to pay the money to gets these cards, when cheap as free alternatives exist, or are to exist in literal days after this hits the streets. Recite the catechism of calming the gently caress down: Gee-dubs has released another product, I am not compelled to purchase it, The Emperor stands beside me, Holding the pursestrings, I shall not want.

The modern KT has quite a following of Ork Freebooterz fans, if you know where to look.
