I’m totally new to Kill Team, but have experience in table top war games. Of Kommandos, Veteran Guard, or Voidscarred Corsairs, what is my best first team?

Siivola posted:I want to build a Kill Team, but the only things I feel like painting are tactical Marines and Eldar Guardians. A box of Guardians and a box of Voidscarred Corsairs would probably work decently well as a kit bash to get enough bodies to build out all the options, and you could lean into the Guardian side of the aesthetic while running them as Corsairs?

What are people's initial thoughts on load outs for the Intercession Squad? I'd like to put one together from the marines I have anyway, but there are so many permutations of the sergeants especially.

Swapping auto bolter for normal bolters if im against a team with better saves. This is a great starting point, thanks! One question - I think the Intercessor team gets the Sergeant plus 5 more. What would you take for the last Warrior? Another Intercessor or one Assault Intercessor?

I’ve been running an Underworlds meetup locally and we’ve switched entirely to Rivals or Rivals+/Clash of Warlords. Even the very experienced players don’t seem interested in full Championship format anymore.

Yeah, we’ve really struggled to have any kind of regular scene, but what we have is unequivocally Rivals. It’s a shame because I love the game. Kill Team and Blood Bowl are the big ones here too, and so I’m starting to pick up Kill Team out of necessity.

I'm interested in Blood Bowl, as it seems to be one of the couple of small scale games with a good scene locally. I have never played any version of it before. Aesthetically, I like the look of Norse and Amazons. Would either of those be reasonable starter teams for an experienced tabletop gamer who's never played BB? Would I be better off learning on the computer game version, which some of my local players have said is good?

Floppychop posted:Both Amazons and Norse are relatively fragile teams due to their low armor, but Norse brawl better due to having lots of Block and Amazons play the agility game a little better due to Dodge. Cool, thanks! I'll probably play some BB2 to learn the basics, then I'll decide from there but probably go with Amazons. Or maybe wait for BB3 if that's coming out soon?

I lost both games I played but I got interested in playing more (and finally using the many warbands I bought and never used) Underworlds is my favorite, and I'm really excited to see them supporting Rivals and making Nemesis an official format, since it's largely what we'd been playing locally. Plus I think the Underworlds miniatures are hands down the best models GW produces.

Giant Ethicist posted:That's certainly one of the appeals of Nemesis, yeah, since you can use what cards you can salvage from the warband's faction deck as well, and also cover for cards in the Rivals deck that will be hard or impossible for the warband to use. We’ve been playing Rivals+ for months and I’m really excited to see it get official support as Nemesis. It’s a great balance of accessibility and customization.

berzerkmonkey posted:What's going to happen (at best) is that the buyer wil lbring the box into the retailer and get it swapped or get the replacement part. Then the retailer has to hope GW gives them a credit for the incoomplete product. My local store has told me that the policy is that they are to just give me a new box of whatever had something missing, and then GW will credit their account with the value of the box they had to give me. I do not have to return the incomplete box either. This has happened to me for both the Kill Team starter and the Votann army box, where due to one small missing item I basically ended up with two copies for the price of one.

I'm also interested in getting into Warcry. I have every Underworlds war band (either to use with their actual Warcry rules or as proxies for models), the Stormcast half of the Dominion and Soul Wars boxes plus some random Stormcast characters from store anniversary models and the like, and the Kruleboyz half of the Dominion box plus this year's store anniversary Kruleboy. How should I go about designing a first Warcry war band or two? I will also probably get Sundered Fate.

I really like a lot of the sculpts but I don't need the cards/tokens since I'd most likely be using them for Warcry or Mordheim. They used to sell every old warband as models-only for AoS, but they stopped a few months ago. Not sure why.

I don't think there's a section on Warhammer Underworlds in the OP. If we're updating it, here's a stab at one: Warhammer Underworlds Publication: 2017 Seasons: Shadespire (Season 1, 2017), Nightvault (Season 2, 2018), Beastgrave (Season 3, 2019), Dreadfane* (2019), Direchasm (Season 4, 2020), Two-Player Starter Set* (2021), Harrowdeep (Season 5, 2021), Nethermaze (Season 6, 2022), Gnarlwood (Season 7, 2022) *Dreadfane was a Barnes and Noble exclusive set, the warbands from which were later released as "Champions of Dreadfane" in the Beastgrave season. The Two-Player Starter Set was released as an attempt to be an easy entry point, but it's generally better to just pick up the current season box. Official Link: https://warhammerunderworlds.com/ Warhammer Underworlds is a 28mm board and card game set in the Warhammer Age of Sigmar world. The encounter scale is small (pre-set warbands of 3 to 7 models per side) and games play quickly (~45 minutes), with each player activating one of their models 12 times over the course of the game (4 activations per round over 3 rounds). Each player has a deck of objective cards which they try to achieve to earn Glory, and a deck of powers and upgrades they can play over the course of the game. The game feels very tactical, with players thinking through the ramifications and down-stream consequences of their moves in a way similar to chess. It was released in 2017 with the Shadespire season, and is now in its seventh season, with each season changing the thematic setting and updating the rules in minor but impactful ways. Each season begins with a two-warband starter box that comes with models and cards for two warbands, game boards, tokens, dice, and a rulebook (the rules are also made available online for free by GW). Then additional warbands are released during the season in stand-alone boxes that come with the models and cards for that warband. No warband is too old to be played; depending on format some cards from older seasons are rotated out of play. The most basic format, Rivals, has each player using only the cards that come with a their warband, while other formats like Nemesis, Championship, and Relic bring increasing levels of deckbuilding customization options allowing the use of cards from other warbands or decks. The models are all original to Warhammer Underworlds, though Games Workshop generally releases rules for their use in Age of Sigmar and Warcry. The models are widely regarded as some of the most detailed and interesting that GW makes, while still being push-fit. Besides playing in person, there is a fairly active community playing online via the tabletop simulator Vassal (mostly through their Discord channel https://discord.gg/MwmS6Uv5Jt). There is also a PC game adaptation on Steam, but it lags behind the physical game releases and is largely locked behind overpriced DLC.

Al-Saqr posted:Ok thanks I’ll stick with the rivals only until i understand the game Yeah, Rivals is a good place to start for a while. Then you can let people customize their decks a little with the Nemesis format. Keep in mind you don't have to include all the cards from both the warband and your chosen Rivals deck, you just pick cards from both sources to build a legal deck. You can leave out the cards that you don't like from either source. Sticking to the minimum deck size so that you have a better chance of drawing your best cards is usually the right choice.
