May I ask how best to buy, assemble, make and play a Corsair Voidscarred Kill Team? I have decided to select that Kill Team as the one I would like to someday save up but it seems to be a bit difficult. From what I have seen on top listing websites the Corsair are very fast glass cannons with a bit more variety to their abilities than Genestealers, that the best method is to assemble all specialists and gunner over heavy gunner and standard troops, and that's it. Not really seeing any tips or guides on how best to use their abilities to say get across the board or how to take on Elites like Death Watch/Custodes or Hordes like Admech/Veteran Guardsmen.

Why corsairs and not the harlequin troupe?

I liked their Aesthetic more atm. Though last I recall Harlequins are a top tier kill team and may consider them instead.

They're such a joy to paint. I also agree with the sentiment the BB post seems a little too much aimed at steering people away from a really fun game that emphasizes risk management. I might try working something up for the OP.

Good news the few Voidscarred Corsairs Battle reports there are and a goonhammer article gave me a chance to see some Voidscarred strategies. The idea seems to be leaving one or two units as bait and use the other units free move actions to gang up on the enemy units. Though again I think I'll have to start practicing with them in Tabletop Simulator first if I want to know for myself.

For Necromunda is it cheaper to buy new models when you want to show model upgrades to models/get new weapons or magnetize your minis so you can swap out body parts to new parts with the guns you like? I just wanna make sure because while the idea of upgrading a gang's stuff and kitting them out with items is great but when I think of how to model those Van Saar shields on a model after I just finished gluing and painting the model as one whole piece I get anxious.

For bloodbowl I noticed that people reset teams all the time in streams and online. Generally speaking, is it just not worth trying to salvage a team where multiple players are down and no income?

Good news: BB3 is out
Bad News: It's a buggy piece of crap that removes a lot of stuff from BB2 to shoehorn monetization in, missing features and basically, UGH

I'm less than three hours in, have had two matches played (after tutorial). One I had to sit around for 10 minutes waiting for the AI to unfreeze after failing a roll (until the AI's timer ran out), and the 2nd one turned a 2-0 win into a 0-0 draw.

Avoid!

That sounds absolutely dreadful. From what I seen a year ago it looked like it had worse ui with the devs proudly showing maps that say "what if you had even less movement so everyone is stuck in a slug match".

Okay Making the Decision to magnetize the arms for the voidscarred and magnetizing the bases for ease of transportation. I am now in a state of pure terror because I want to make this look passable and not mess up the instructions. I have managed to wrangle some forum PSA's about the Corsairs instruction booklet accidentally causing an illegal armor if following by the book, so I am going to make sure to dry fit stuff. I still need to buy so much other stuff such as tokens, tape measure, magnets, mold remover and other such things.

I had my first Kill team game and it was great. I was able to have a slugmatch as my Voidscarred vs the Harlequins.

It was an open match siphon oil.

I made a few mistakes.

Mistake 1 was running my shaderunner in middle of board instead of trying to set up the shaderunner bomb.

Mistake 2 leave my Felarch in the open to get shot and killed before doing anything.

Mistake 3 letting my gunner in Harlequin charge range tying up multiple units.

Mistake 4 choosing awful recon tac ops against Harlequins when I can't get to their board without being shot to pieces.
Ultimately leading to me losing the damage race

Good things I did.

- keeping my starstorm duelist alive so they can kill a model each activation with 8 shots hitting on 3's
- saving my cp and using it to kill key models of his
- able to not complain or be a bad sport
- rolling a ton of 5+ for lethal 5+ to make Harlequins pay for each charge.

Anybody got any tips on how I can beat the top team?

Only things I got so far was
- Freezing grasp the Death Jester to prevent set up
- kill said Death jester so you can dominate using range
- stay 9 inches away from harlequins

Report details! How did you even?

The mission was Into the Dark 3.2. I was playing Voidscarred Corsairs
Felarch Misthelm
Shaderunner grenade
Fatedealer cloak
Starstorm duelist
Gunner
Soul Weaver
Kurnathi
Kurnite Hunter
Wayseeker helm

They were playing Hierotek Circle with Technomancer
Apprentek
Deathmark
Immortal despotek
Immortal
Plasmacyte reanimator
Plasmacyte accelerator

His goal was to hide an object as courier and my goal was to get the objective

He used all Hierotek Circle Tac ops and I used

Flawless Raiders
Retrieve Loot
Secure Unexplored rooms

He rolled a 15 from a 3d6 to do 15 actions moving around passing on objects and terrain. Making 5 options. I went first and got the object first try keeping all on conceal.

Turning point 2 he had his leader on guard and shot down my Kurnite hunter rolling interference while my Kurnathi was moving up the right flank

His leader chopped down my shaderunner but I shot him down with my starstorm duelist. I then got luck with my felarch to blast open their courier despotek and combo with my gunner to one shot their plasmacyte regenerator and their apprentek.

They then blew up all this in return, but they didn't realize that by ignoring the left half of the board, my sniper got the loot thanks to plunderes, getting the look turning point 1 and securing unexplored room, and getting me Flawless Raiders for having more points than the enemy. Turning point 3 most of his stuff was alive except for his Leader thankfully. He shot down everything, my Kurnathi which ripped into his plasmacyte, my felarch and gunner got snipped from being exposed and my wayseeker was poorly positioned getting shot up.

But by then he still had no points but I did by having my duelling pick up the objective. I scored all my unexploredI rooms, retrieve loot and maxxed flawless raiders to his 0 points. By turning point 4 I went for fleet to finally get out of his range, he failed his second Technomancer reanimation roll. And I used my comms Soul weaver to help give my Starstorm dueling the movement needed to run away from the necrons to the other side of the board with Fleet for extra movement.

With the goals
If the courier is incapacitated, you score 2VPs.
If friendly operatives control the objective marker, you score 6VPs.
If a friendly operative is carrying the objective marker, you score 2VPs.
If a friendly operative is carrying the objective marker and is not within of an enemy operative, you score 2VPs

All completed. Leaving me with 6 points for tac op, and 14 loving points for main objective. Giving me a total of 20 points to the Necron's 4 for their objective tac ops.
I had literally only 3 operatives left. I don't even know how.

You can have multiple loadouts in your 20 man roster like leaders with any option or gunners with three different gun options.
