Greetings Brothers (and Sisters)! I return to the VIII Legion after a break and 2000+ points of Daemons, to dip my toe in first a Kill Team to see how we go with all I have learnt since my last attempt. The whole W I P progress will be in this album. But let's get indepth for ive started with the first half of the Kill team 20 man Roster with the Marines, so far here they are before spraying arms and heads are bluetacked on so I could get a feel for them. First up my Aspiring Champions: For one ive gone with a disgraced Raptor and removed his turbines as punishment, red gauntlets ahoy! Here are my gunners: I'm a beliver that Night Lords will avoid bright light where possible so my ex Breacher Melta Gunner rigged up a shield from an Inceptors gun to block out some of that pesky light. My warriors: I have head swapped since as I've been given an old possessed head so the kneeling tracker will be tasting blood he has found. The other has the belt feed equipment. My Icon Bearers: I didnt what full on chaos icons so just defiled Imperial icons on the backpacks. And finally my Heavy Gunners: I chopped up the champions arm from the upgrades to have a grizzly trophy equipment shoulderpad. So you may think hmm needs more flayed skin but worry not! I plan on painting them up first before this stage as I will make PVA skin once I know where it will look best not covering up nice lightning on the armour etc. I hope you guys like them so far as of posting I have done 80% of the bases in a concrete city theme and have a box of Cawdor and bits to make my cultists/ship crew/live bait to fill out the roster. C+C welcomed. -Noctem

I recently purchased a 5 man intercessor squad. I was wondering in terms of building the sergeant. Which wargear is better : the thunder hammer or power fist? I read rules about stun vs brutal, but i would like to know from ppl that have played with those rules which they found better.

Hi. Feels like an age since I was last on these boards. Hope everyone is as heretical and fighting against the deluded followers of the corpse dictator. So... why am I here? Well... I've been conned into taking part in some Kill Team by the other two from the Mr Lee's Minis team, and well... in proper fashion I've gone for Chaos. Now I'm not doing my old Divine Flamers Slaanesh warband. But I've gone for my other favourite legion, the Night Lords. I could've easily gone for a more renegade style group like Talos who aren't all fully into the whole Chaos thing (unless that's changed) but instead thought I'd go more down the Khorne route. Bit more like the original Realms of Chaos Night Lords. But what to use? Well I've decided to try this while the other two have gone for Necrons and Genestealer Cult: Berserker Champion with Power Sword, Plasma Pistol, Specialist: Leader, Possessed, Specialist: Zealot, CSM Gunner with Plasma Gun, Specialist: Demolitions, CSM Gunner with Heavy Bolter, Specialist: Heavy, CSM with Bolter, Berserker Destroyer with Plasma Pistol All will be converted from Primaris because I find the CSM sculpts to be a bit too detailed and ornate for how I see Night Lords, and here are the first two WIP. As you can see there is still more to be done but I've made a few press moulds of bits I have. Used Oyumaru and will be using Milliput to recreate those for use here. Anyway, I'll leave it at that for now. Hopefully I'll have an update in a week so long as I don't get distracted by other projects... Thanks for looking.

Hey! I started an Ork Killteam when Killteam in 7th came out, and converted my Orks into Apes, becuase I thought it would be fun to have a Planet of The Apes and/or hotrod themed army, and decided I should post what I have for my current Killteam. It's Commander is Warboss Big Tommy, who is wearing the pirate hat and weilding the dreaded Power Barrel (Bug Choppa). The leader is Chimp Guevera, a Grot leader, who has killed a Plague Marine with a single shot. The Apes dressed in Batman costumes are my kommandos, and WAAAAAAAGHluigi is a nob with a big Choppa and kombi flamer. I am looking into contrast paints to make painting them go faster, since the conversion work takes quite a while haha so if anyone has any good experience or suggestions on that, I'd much appreciate it!

I was wondering what your experiences are with these primaris kill teams. I've done different compositions but keep missing the effectiveness that a veteran kill team has. Curious to read what compositions you guys have made and had succes with and what you think of my 4 compositions. My favorites: -6 intercessors with bolt rifles + 4 hellblasters with plasma incinerators (combat squads for 3+2) Their role is to hold homefield objectives and take objectives/ground up to mid-field. -6 intercessors with auto bolt rifles + 2 reivers with bolt carbines + 2 aggressors with ABG and FGL (combat squads for 3+1+1) Their role is to advance up to enemy deployment taking mid-field and enemy territory objectives. Also great units to thin out hordes before advancing up. -5 intercessors with auto bolt rifles + 1 reiver with combat knife + 1 aggressor with FSG + 1 inceptor with plasma exterminators Their role is to advance and charge or to form a first line of defence against CC units. Lots of shots coming, even in overwatch and the inceptor allows them to retreat after the first incoming CC and shoot again. Forming an organised retreat while everything can shoot. -5 intercessors with stalker bolt rifles + 1 aggressor with ABG and FGL Their role is to keep backfield objectives and to pick on 2W models like primaris P.S. For AV I always use up to 3 venerable dreads with TL/ML combo. Never use infantry for it due to the low damage impact vs point costs, rather ignore the tank and play the objective game then.
