It really bothered me that a sniper didn’t have a 3-metre sniper rifle. So I modified the stalker bolter rifle to make it BIGGER.

And, of course, the active camouflage cloak was a must.

Question Wrecka Crew is so fun

Played my first couple games with Wrecka Crew and they were an absolute hoot.

Any other teams have anything nearly as fun as blowing up a squig on someone?

Also, no they're not sneaky orcs. The purple is just and undercoat.

These are my spectre squad proxies I digitally kitbashed and printed up from a few different sets.

This is probably 97% reptilian overlords jungle fighters sets with just a few posing, scaling, and weapon replacements to make them work for spectre squad data cards.

Then I painted them up and tried to do my best on their muscles/skin

Strategy Things teams do best and worst day 45: Wrecka Krew

Post image
247 Upvotes

Tell me what you think is the best thing about the Wrecka Krew! And the worst thing.

Best: if kommandos are the stealth orks, WK are the LOUD ones! an insane melee and blast team.

Wrecka points are such a simple and insane rule, when you start hitting those 6's, you just dont stop! also with a lot of weapons that have 6 attacks!

4+ save with 12 health is a lot, and you add extra armor if you want + just a scratch!

the characters are fun too, the demolisha can just explode you + himself, your rockets can get piercing instead of blas, wich is awesome for 6 attacks + wrecka points and the nob is a powerhouse both melee + range

and two squigs! just in case one wasnt enough.

let's go gambling!

Worst: When the dice god does not bless you, you gonna have a bad time.

your both gunners with the heavy rule, limiting your ranged game.

yeah they are a explosive, loud and rush-down team, and that's not for everyone.

The Red Corsairs Raiders kit leaves you with so many fun thematic bits. So with those, the Reave Captain leftovers and the leftovers from the Phobos Strike team (the kit that keeps on giving) plus a couple of random Reaver bodies I’ll have all the specialists and a couple of hunters for my Void Wargs Kill Team.

Mission was Loot

Dang what a 3-way match up!

Legionnaires v Ratlings v XV26 Stealthsuits

Positioning from the Ratlings was top tier. Stealthsuits were doing their best to bait the Chaos out and get more kills, but it wasn’t enough. Ratlings with some tricky moves, but it wasn’t enough in the end!

9-8-5 Winner Legionaries

Dinner was White Lasagna

Strategy Clarity on Obscure rule

Thumbnail

40 Upvotes

Hey whatsup yall, need some clarifications on the obscure rule in this example.

I had match where Op A was shooting Op B, but the defender was calling obscure. I would not believe so since in this example both Operatives are in the engaged order. Defender is open and there’s a line of sight , it is within a heavy cover terrain but not intervening. And no intervene terrain on shooter side as well. I’d say the defender would at least have a cover save but not obscure. Even if the defender was still slightly more to the left like half inch he would still be visible line of sight. My idea of oscure if Op B had been behind the window two inches away .I would to clarify if this would be correct.

Edit: Thank you for the quick responses yall! We both play casually and while I’ve only been 5 games deep there are scenarios and rules that I question and need clarification on. Cheers!

Question Legality regarding PM Icon Bearer proxy

Thumbnail
gallery
30 Upvotes

Hi! Hope you’re all doing well. Just had a question regarding if this would be an acceptable proxy at your table. I’m not really familiar with proxy rules too well, and I built this guy with some Blightkings bits originally as a caster, but he ended up feeling more like an Icon Bearer.

Now, I know IB has to be a specific height, and while the mini is a bit shorter, do you think it causes a massive difference in most forms of play? Just wanted to check and see what you guys think.

First mini set with paint, washes and simple basing.

There is still a lot of room to improve, but I learned some stuff on the way. None the least being that I will not consider a 40k CSM army, because of all the trim.

Question New to KT and feel like playing a recon / infiltrate KT play style.

7 Upvotes

Hi all!! I’ve decided to jump the gun and try out Kill Team this edition.

I’ve been looking at KTs that have the recon / infiltrate disposition since I like the idea of playing stealthy guys.

So far I’ve seen:

Spectre squad
Tempestus aquilons
Canoptek circle
Battleclade
Vespids
Mandrakes
Ratlings

Now, I’ve also seen some cool KTs that seem more straightforward like Goremongers or Wreckka Krew

Any advice on choosing a KT that might not require a science degree to learn to play but that also has a fun play style? Thanks!!
