Forums

In yesterdays June update post on steam they have a link to the official discord which has a clan/guild thing in the #promote channel. Actually let me just post the actual link: https://discord.gg/n87AreqT3Y    And this reminds me; why was the SM2 thread moved from News to Other Games? Are video game news technically not hobby news?

I, Malice Jr., heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint 1 Reaver Titan, 1 Warbringer Titan, 2 Sicarans, 3 Armiger Moirax Knights, 4 Contemptor Dreadnoughts, and 18 bases of Astartes infantry for 45pts for the Glory of the Warmaster and the Heresy Stronghold on or before September 17th, or bear the badge of failure until year's end.  

for @brother_b,   The Pickman clan fails! 76-70 loss; Scorched earth, stalwarts, search and destroy.   List (2100 points narrative): Broodsurge   Iconward 3x Biophagus 1x patriarch (implant attack or whatever)   3x10 Neos (1 in truck) 1x10 mining weapon acolytes 1x5 Acolytes flamers   1x5 Aberrants (Bio with -1OC enhancement) 2x1 Ridgerunner / mining lasers 2x5 Jackals 2x Rockgrinder 1x10 metamorphs / flamers 2x10 Purestrain 1x5 Purestrain   Deployment:     At bottom left you'll see I couldn't find some of my jackals last minute but luckily I have a tremendous number of other cavalry ; ) Front grinder has aberrants, hiding one has acolytes. Everything else in deepstrike.   Enemy list - Pactbound Zealots - lotsa sustained 5s this game lol:   Lord + 10 Chosen (Rhino) MoP + 5 Possessed Lord + 5 Terminators Daemon Prince 4x5 Legionaries (2 Rhinos) 2x5 havocs - 4HB / 4LAS Forgefiend   Deployment:     Opponent goes first. Lascannons top Aberrants' ride and they cop forgefiend fire but it kills way less than expected so that they can run up and give the possessed a kicking. They almost bounce, but enemy flubs 3 saves on my Biophagus/Magus once per game dmg 3 swings : )     On left, I run up and move block a little with these lads, and they do 4 damage on the Rhino, but legionaries pile out and kills them.     Right flank very similar but to lesser effect lol:     On his turn 2 he uses fall back and charge strat on possessed, but I spike a crazy demolition overwatch and nuke them dead:     My only DS charge that connects in turn 2 is Patriarch on centre after a re-roll... Just a flurry of 6s. I'm able to wipe the Chosen for cull the horde which felt awesome. Dmg 3 Patriarch slaps.     Turn 2 he uses strat to fall back and charge surviving pair of possessed.   I don't get pictures of my other turn 2 drops, but it's 1x5 Genestealers to right side who immediately die turn 3 but go into ambush. I basically concede that side at that point because his Daemon Prince comes in turn 2 for sabotage, and I fail a charge of 10 stealers into him.    Turn 3, and his terminators drop centre and make it in:     He smokes the Acolytes but stealers and Patriarch kill a couple, then metamorphs who also dropped centre make it in on my turn 3... after the dust settles that looks like this:     In turn 3 the daemon prince hung around another turn establishing locus which meant I got the charge, but didn't have CP to get +1 to wound so all told between ridgerunner, 2x neophyte squads and the stealers I take 6 wounds off him and he kills half the squad:     I didn't get a picture of the fight on the left, where 10 acolytes and biophagus just barely grind out 10 legionaries just in time for the reinforcement neophytes to arrive (top of my turn 5 looks like this after last 2 acolytes killed by havocs and moments before forgefiend explodes truck.):     In his turn 5 he shoots lascannons at my metas and they surge 5 forward, leaving the neos who advanced up behind them turn 4 holding there and burning the objective. This movement lets them assault his home ojective turn 5:     But it doesn't matter. It all comes down to being down 5 on primary in turn 3, and a 1pt difference on secondaries. I did kill more of his stuff than he of mine, and I did roll below average on go turn charges... if one or two of those had been different it could have gone elsewise.   The dex feels good, despite the loss... We do in fact hit in melee now if we want! Just... roll 8s!   Cheers,   The Good Doctor.

I love the old scheme so much more!

You can find all the rules online for free (**tried providing a link, but the forum auto-corrected twice, so it must be against the rules to share) . Some of them (the compendium teams) you might be able make with models you already have. They're less competitive than the "bespoke" teams (teams specifically made for Kill team, having more special rules and generally more powerful) but they are perfect to learn to play with.  The box you linked above is a super solid jumping in point, kommando'

I know the feeling!        Indeed!
