I bought shadowvault, into the dark, and alot of zone mortalis floors, and walls and columns and Ive preordered the terrain only shadowvault box as well.

The plan is to make a 6*4 Space crusade table with the original game in the middle expanding out, and have a big mixed marines vs Hulk scum fight with second Ed rules.

There's a shadowvault terrain only box?! where?! How much? I would gladly buy that over a full expansion! link please!

I've only been told it's on the cards, and I got put on my game stores list, you could always get the terrain only into the dark instead of waiting for something that is speculation? But they were pretty sure.

ah ok, well either ways I'm gonna wait until I see what soulshackle looks like before I make any purchasing decisions, if soul shackle looks super cool and different I might just splurge on a into the dark+Soul Shackle combo if I end up liking kill team enough. Shadowvault's factions did not entice me enough to want to get it.

Yeah it's like a boarding action terrain pack or some such, comes with the terrain from Into the Dark but x2 essentially (so what you'd get if you bought into the dark and shadowvaults).

Oh wow! Ok depending on the price I’ll get that if soulshackle has a genuinely unique terrain from Into the dark and Shadowvaults.

I’ll still get an imperial navy mini set though I genuinely like how they look and their gameplay seems super fun.

I've been Making and printing rules reference sheet and data cards for my upcoming Kill Team Box, it's pretty fun! I bought some heavy card paper to use in my printer, on the one side of the paper it will be the unit details made in the Data Card App, but on the other I went around online looking for cool art to go on the back:-

This is the back of the main Rules reference Sheet:-



This is the back of the Krieg cards:-



This is the back of the Kommando Cards:-




I'll probably make Tiny Tokens for the equipment each unit will wield and their point values, I'm trying to make everything as ready, easily digestible and cool presentation wise as possible for the people I will be introducing the game to!

Hey guys I have a question regarding the Kill team roster:-

I noticed that the game allows you to equip side items like specific grenades, mines, shovels, etc. each with an equipment point value (with the total equipment allowed being 10), I built the data cards for my team but I want a good flexible way of assigning equipment differently per game, I cant really see a token specifying this in the starter box, and I dont want to print a checklist for every time we play a game.

I'm thinking of making my own custom tokens that would allow each faction to have a physical thing they can put on their unit card so we can keep track of who is equipped with what. the front of the token is what equipment it is (Krak Grenade, Rosary, Shovel, etc.) and the back of the token is the point value of the item, that way it would be much easier for players to quickly choose and count up their item values to 10 and assign equipment to anyone they want in the team.

would that work? I'll give it a try and see.

Got my Kill Team starter box! so hyped to start building and playing!

By the time I explore the game and see if I like it they should announce Soulshackle so by then I'll have figured out where to expand from there.

the question is now how to build my Krieg Veteran squad, what weapons are best, etc. any tips or advice?

is the grenade launcher good? does it ignore cover?

First impressions of kill team starter set box:-

1) lol I got a misprint and got 2 ork transfer sheets and no imperial Krieg sheets, that sucks I wonder if I can request a free one from GW.

2) the overall quality of everything in the box is really really loving awesome, the models look utterly brilliant, the Krieg are smaller than I expected so I might need to figure out if I can do my designs on them effectively.

3) the presentation of everything is A plus, I’m surprised by how giddy I am opening and reading everything, genuinely excited to start playing this once I’ve assembled everything.

Overall the starter set is a really good value, the only thing I can knock against it is the lack of the tac ops cards those are pretty essential and having to buy them seperately was not great. Also the dice feel slightly cheap but once I’ve figured if I enjoy the game I’ll get a more premium dice stuff.

If the game turns out to be fun to play I will absolutely get a gallowdark thing really soon.

If you got it from a third party retailer, GW's missing parts policy is to have the third party just give you a whole replacement box.

Eh it’s not worth the hassle to send back the box half way around the world over a transfer sheet everything else is here I hope there isn’t a sprue missing though that would super suck. I’ll pick through it in detail and find out.

I hope there’s a cheap way to get transfer sheets.

You kind of have a problem with Krieg specifically.

If you only have one box:

Ideally you have two sets worth of guardsmen:

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.

thanks so much! Sadly I want to save money for things like the Imperial navy or a gallowdark expansion, if I end up enjoying the game, so I will have to live with the compromise of what I have in box, will follow this guide and see what happens! I’ll post the minis when they’re done! I understand about the bruiser but I’ll go for rule of cool and go for him anyways, I want a charging madman looking dude on the team, worst comes to worst I’ll treat him as a regular trooper.

Also minor update, I fixed the Transfer sheet issue, the retailer is sending me a bunch of replacements, all is well!

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.

Building my Ork Kommando team, I gave my Kommando Nob the the power claw, but I loved the choppa arm so much I decided to stick it on my Slasha boy, I managed to make it look normal when I glued it on, but it’s pretty clear it’s a slightly bigger arm than the other knife arm.

I have decided that if anyone asks me why the right arm is bigger than the left I’ll just say that that’s his Choppin, and Jerkin’ arm lol.

I started collecting Tau this year after a looong hiatus and now I'm curious about the Into the Dark set? What all comes in the $210 set? Everything to play Kill Team as far as rules and dice etc? I got Pathfinders because they seem super cool and now the Kroot look great and seem to be the new team for the Space Hulk esque gameplay, are the Kroot useful in 40k as a unit or are they just regular Kroot Carnivores?

Really enjoying the Kill Teams modelling, and collecting based on an army but also rule of cool is so much more fun than trying to build a 'complete' army as fast as I can like I tried for as a teenager.


I really like your paint job Refind Chaos! The blue really pops with the olive

The into the dark set comes with everything you need to play kill team and the terrain you need to play into the dark, however it is highly recommended you purchase the 2022 addendum for a full army list rules if you want to expand from there.

A word of warning though, if you want to play the veteran Krieg and orks you’ll have to buy the octarius rulebook for their full list

Also! Hot tip! If you order from amazon prime Into the Dark only costs 169 dollars!

I’m excited to get around to into the dark but I got the starter set to make sure I enjoy the game before committing to a bigger purchase. There are two more expansions on the way for gallowdark so into the dark is a foot way to start the game if you’re not a cheapass like me.

Hey guys, finally built my kill teams, I'll be playtesting the game over the next week and see how I like it, will report back with impressions I have, if I do enjoy it I'm gonna double team Into the dark and Soulshackle for sure. Once the paints arrive I'll showcase them in the painting thread.

In other news, I tried the videogame version of Warhammer AoS underworlds, I was really surprised how much I really enjoyed the game! it's fast, action packed, easy to learn, a fun deck building and melee combat game, and it's perfect as a more casual game to play along side the more involved 'Kill Team' experience.

I am absolutely going to pick up the game! however, because I'll have to ship it across the globe, I would like add some decks and teams on top of the 'gnarlwood' box so that I can have a good collection of stuff and options to last a while.

What other teams/decks/accessories do you reccomend?

From what I'm looking around casually, the teams that caught my eye are the Vampires, Lizardmen Pirate ogre and the sigmar marines, Sadly the Minotaur Elves seem to be completely gone online which is sad because it's by far my favourite looking group from AoS in general other than goblins. oooh the snake people and fish elves look really cool too!

thanks!

Teams are evenly matched for the most part so just pick with ever you like - imho if you like the teams its worth just getting 2 different boxed sets since you might also want additional game boards. Also get card sleeves for your stuff - single box of ultra pro or dragon shields should serve you right (100 sleeve pack)

Ok I’ve done some playtests of Kill team recruit edition, my verdict is that this game is really really loving great, very action packed, very interesting, and the depths you can go to as you move from the basic move-shoot-kill action into the specific team abilities, missions, tac ops, win conditions and such really make this a super interesting and fantastic game with alot to offer! This is absolutely the kind of streamlined 40k experience I was looking for, and I really like how the game is structured in a way that forces you to keep pushing, be aggressive and dont dilly daddle or else you’ll find yourself without VP’s needed to win in the end. And the team members each have really important contributions and skills to give to the situation, it’s like playing a mix of Xcom and team fortress, love it.

I had no problems at all understanding the rules even from the rule book, it ‘ramps up’ really well, which is the opposite experience from what I had from 40k where I got lost four pages in (then again it’s been decades so maybe I was just stupid then)

I’m still scratching the surface and learning the intricacies, but I’m in no doubt as to what I think overall of the game, it’s fantastic, I like it alot, I went ahead and ordered Into The Dark since either ways the whole point of buying the recruit edition was to see if I liked the whole vibe of the game, and turns out, I do! And from what I’m reading online Into the Dark is an utterly fantastic rendition of Kill team. I really dig the Imperial navy so I got that box, really excited to see how soulshackle turns out. Gonna paint the Kroot as different species of birds lol.

One thing that I really need to figure out and study more, is the ‘Spec Ops’ Campaign structure, I’m actually surprised they managed to make a kind of videogame storymode exp-currency aspect to this lol, I’m a little bit confused as to the specifics of using their data slate cards, requisitioning, base building (wtf lol) equipment gathering, etc, I’ll need to learn more and more as I go along, its alot more involved than I was expecting.

One thing however I wish I had more access to is layout options and ideas, I currently have the recruit edition, and the rulebooks are surprisingly light on layout options, so I’ll have to figure out how to translate the mission options they give me in the core book with what I have on hand, if you guys have any sites that share layout/mission ideas that would be appreciated.

Also, one really encouraging sign I was getting was that some co-workers of mine showed genuine interest and commented about how ‘cool’ into the dark looked, they even expressed interest in trying the game, so I’m optimistic about getting more people to play the game than the usual crowd. :unsmith:

I want to give a big fat warning to people getting AoS underworlds, in this case gnarlwood and direchasm, be very careful with pushing the pegs of the figures into the holes, the plastic is much more fragile than you expect and the way the models are cast means that weak points are located either on or around the pegs, I almost accidentally broke one of the legs of the skeleton knights (thank gently caress I noticed the bend starting before it was too late) and let me tell you the neighbors had a great time listening to the shriek I let out.
