Grizzled Patriarch posted:Kill Team question: How bad are the compendium teams compared to standalone release teams, really? I saw on that most recent community post that the overall Compendium win rate is only 40%, which is quite bad, but it's hard to tell if all the compendium choices are equally lovely or if some particularly bad ones are just pulling down those numbers. I'm going to pick up some Kroot when they get their own release, but in the meantime it would be cool to throw together a team out of models I already have and not get stomped at my local league. Could something like the Intercession Squad or Death Guard teams reasonably hang in there against more meta options? No idea what local players are running but based on which teams are the most popular I'm guessing stuff like Legionaries and Novitiates will be in the mix. Intercession squad is not really compedium team any more and they are good enoug to hang with the big boys. In polish nationals guy with tyranid compedium team ended up 9 place (out of 53). Death guard is decentish. I mean novitiates/pathfinders will likely pound you but they kind of opressive teams anyway.

Custodes and chaos demons should be fine. Grey knights look kinda ech. Btw this was our top 8 (they still did not publish full standings for all players). I'm surpraised mostly at only 1 pathfinder team and no novitiates 1st round: ✅Hunter Clade vs Ork Kommando❎ ✅Pathfinders vs Ork Kommando❎ ❎Warpcoven vs Veteran Guardsmen✅ ✅Imperial Navy Breachers vs Intercession Squad❎ 2nd round: ✅Ork Kommando vs Warpcoven❎ ❎Hunter Clade vs Veteran Guardsmen✅ ❎Ork Kommando vs Intercession Squad✅ ➗Imperial Navy Breachers vs Pathfinders➗

Legit Businessman posted:I hope so. I'm playing VG in a narrative league with friends, and I keep getting rolled. To be fair, I've only played two games ever. 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

Overall, being aggressive seems to be key to guard. You want to claim objectives early and start scoring (it also helps with your tac ops from security archetype). And people start to panic when psycho with meltagun is suddenly in their face

Are they tho? Because if they make mistake and guard player manages to trade evenly with them they are done for. With 6 dudes you have to be conservative with your dudes - seen this playing as admech against them. If you manage to po 1-2 dudes early on they are kinda stuck.

Refind Chaos posted:VetGuard are really good at focus fire and synergizing. They have a lot of bodies and a few ploys that lean hard into the synergy piece. As Silvola said, they're very chessy and surprisingly forgiving, considering a stiff breeze will kill a VetGuard and out damage their lasguns, as well Forgiving is the last word I would use describing veteran guard.

Grizzled Patriarch posted:Competitive Kill Team question - do you *have* to bring a full roster to tournaments? Working on my Legionaries and it kinda seems like you'd really never have a reason to bring much beyond what comes in the box since they just seem strictly superior to the alternatives. You don't have to bring anything outside of single team. I mean you do have to at least one legit KT in your rooster but you don't have to bring 20 dudes

At my lgs half of those fancy kickstarter boardgames cost more than box of into the dark and most of the is cardboard. I know apples and oranges but I think I will keep on breaching in KT. Also maybe WHU would be more the speed of boardgame crowd? Covermeinsunshine fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Oct 14, 2022 |

Yeah I mean people complain about gw balance but from what I see in both aos and kt meta is fairly healthy in those. Where gw realy blows is proof reading

Another alternative is using any box with magnetic sheet glued to the bottom - for example https://www.amazon.com/Magnetic-Sheets-Adhesive-Backing-Flexible/dp/B07V5WGK3R This might be an overkill for KT tho. I use metal cookie boxes for my teams

I wanted to get shadowvault but new underwolds box is really tempting to get back in and I have to pace myself. On the other hand I already have 3 kill teams and probably could just get the terrain and board second hand

All the teams are competible. Also from what I've heard this box also contains two generic decks that can be used with any existing team

Al-Saqr posted:Got my Kill Team starter box! so hyped to start building and playing! You build all the special weapons, sniper, meedic, comms and spotter. Sergant gets power weapon and plasma pistol. You want to field 10 speicialists+ 4 normal dudes. Grenades from launcher do not ignore cover but you will pop kraks 80% of the time anyway

Refind Chaos posted:Ugh, yeah I read up on that yesterday over on Goonhammer. I have to say I'm pretty unhappy they pretty much made Kommandos unplayable in Gallowdark, seemed to beef up the Phobos, which as far as I know weren't struggling to begin with. Phobos were siting at 42% win rate - lowest of non compendium teams

Al-Saqr posted: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. 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)

Last time I played mordheim was when it came out and I remember not likeing it very much outside of the atmosphere. I to this day regret picking it over battlefleet gothic (as I was only able to affordo ne of those two boxes). Might perceprtion might be colored by pc version of it because that game is pure garbage

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:Malifaux also has an absolutely top notch free app and is the best skirmish game I’ve ever played. Plus it’s got actually sensitive depictions of a wide variety of Earth cultures, though I’ll admit that’s a sliding scale - the old first edition holdovers are kind of cringey in places while the newer models are a LOT better. They did scale back on a cheescake so thats good at least

My biggest issue with malifaux is that apart from game rules every mini does a 1000 things. Itsl ike playing vet guard in kt on steroids and you have to be really invested to know what opponents minis do. Still I enjoy it way more than infinity
