I keep spelling "Khalkotauroi" incorrectly. Another change - the Fist of Purity member will be the alternate sergeant (equipped with a Deathwatch boltgun and power weapon [sword]). So I'm changing the "fist" member in this initial group to some other Chapter, a new DIY that I have to work on. Assembly of the initial six members begins today. Since I've changed the Sergeants around and didn't assemble the storm bolter warrior's bits, I'll have to rearrange the bits and collect some new ones. I'll try to post pictures as soon as I get them all assembled.

I definitely appreciate that offer, but there won't be any Exorcists battle-brothers in this kill team. If I ever get around to a proper Exorcists army/kill team, however, I may take you up on that offer (since you and I both know that the Exorcists are the greatest Chapter ever ). In other news, I've decided to move Chapters around a bit. The Veteran Sergeant will be from the Khalkotouri Chapter since the thunder hammer is more in keeping with my concept of that DIY Chapter and less appropriate for the Fists of Purity Chapter. The Fists of Purity veteran, then, will become a Warrior. I may swap one of the [Warrior] shotguns for a boltgun option (either the Deathwatch boltgun and power weapon or the Stalker pattern boltgun). I really wish the Deathwatch still had the boltgun/chainsword combination that was allowed when they first appeared in the Chapter Approved article back in 3rd edition. That would be so much more in keeping with both our name and lore. I guess the Intercessors offer the next best thing, so I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever do a Primaris version of this kill team.

I still have some big clean-up to do but it is a project that looks like it is starting quite OK atm... And Money wise it is exciting getting 120 army pts for almost zero buck. If I suceed in kit-bashing all I have in mind, I will end up with 525 army pts of units out of a single KT 65USD box. And a 20 yo bitzbox emptied! More to share coming soon to show where the other 405 army points are coming from! But in fact, don't you already know from previous posts for 55pts of Rangers and other 120 pts of Voidreavers?

Very nicely done!

Of course, it's Scyther squad. I'm so dumb. Are you doing the rest of the T'au with Pokemon overtones?

Amazing update!

Loved the guns. Pokemon inspired?

Looking good!

Great progress so far.

Congrats on the completion. They look good.

If you need or want an Printed Exorcist Chapter Shoulder pad, I have one I could donate to your project.

It looks to be rule of cool over power gaming as other have said. I personally would have a base DW marine (bolter/ power sword) in the mix

If it's any help, I used Deathwatch rules for my Marines in Kill Team '21 (they were actually 'regular' Chapter Astartes, but I wanted to capture a specialised, elite feel than the standard Tac Squad fire team*). I struggled to win games with them to be honest - they were kind of 'Jack of all Trades, Master of none'. So if your concern is not taking an OP team that will stomp your friend's teams, I think you'll be fine with what you've got. Obviously, how you choose to play them in game will factor - I'm assuming you won't be going for 'the win' so you friends can enjoy the game *that, and the fact I started building the team before '21 Kill Team was released, and it was based on the old way of budong Marine Kill Teams, so I had to do some chopping and changing of weapons so I could legally use them for the newer edition

Not a lot to add, but I must say that I love the use of the MkV character (am I right in remembering it was a World Eater?). I wouldn't have thought of such a brutal looking mini as a RG, but it really works well and the pose is great for adding a jump pack! Really like the Seeker squad too!

I think (memory is a little bit fuzzy, and I'm potentially mixing up stuff from the latest edition...) the 'meta' DW team around that time included a Frag Cannon Heavy Gunner, a Plasma Gunner, a Fighter with TH/SS, Sgt with Xenophase Blade and 1 or 2 standard guys with Bolter/Power Sword. Most of the team were quite focused on either melee or shooting, rather than trying to balance the individual operatives. I think maybe(?) the Infernus got better later in the edition (or maybe the Frag Cannon just got worse?) Anyway, I'd say what you've got looks reasonably balanced without being powergamer-y

Did the store staff say why thats been happening alot with the extra thin glue?

Sweet, I cant wait see you take as well.

I picked up that Praetor as a painting project, looking forward to seeing your take on it.

I have bad news for you, haha. I am compiling over this weekend.

Yeah I was shocked 329 story ended with dying. I did like the story as always

I am assuming that's a good wow? Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it. Your constructive criticism is most welcome.

Wow.....

Maybe you can ice the super glued part to weaken the bond.

Well, not as I did 2 years ago... I am also very happy with these WG, which white heads look white. Changing from GW to Vallejo white has been a great move. Which is not true once you make the same kind shift for black...

Nice!

Looks great

Welcome to the Blog club! Can't wait to see what you have planned.

First time painting Bad Moons and I had a blast!

Build a rokkit, Boyz! Love the Wreckas as Bad Moons.

Life is life brother, I’ve had it stop me doing hobby for years at a time - never seems to stop me buying things though or viewing B&C. Also always love seeing what people do with that model.

Whilst I’ll keep my infamous lack of progress WIP thread going I will do a blog for the third attempt at Iron Warriors Legion to go with v3.0 - so I have considered and will make it so.

ohhhh nice idea Fallout Hobbies

Any progress since sept?

They're sitting in my imagination/planning area right now.
