travh20 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I had a question regarding the kill team rules found in the Battle Missions supplement. It says in the book that all models are considered separate units. How does that work? Let's say for one of the two troop choices I pick a tactical squad of space marines. Do I just buy upgrades for the squad as a whole as usual then deploy them individually? What if I want more then one melta gun, can I buy individual marines armed with melta guns? Normally a 10 man tactical SM squad can only have one special weapon. if I want to have multiple melta guns do I have to go with sterguard vets who have much more flexibility with weapons upgrades? Thanks. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202092-kill-team-model-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Do I just buy upgrades for the squad as a whole as usual then deploy them individually?This is it. You buy it as normal, then deploy all singly. If you want more weapons, you have to get more squads, as usual.

Grey Mage Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 They move and function as individual units... kind of like IG infantry platoons, or death cult assassins. The unit still has to be legal before deployment though.

travh20 Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Thanks guys. So basically a regular tactical squad is worthless in this game mode? Seems sternguard, or even a dreadnought, would be the way to go.

Grey Mage Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Theyre not worthless at all- 16pts a model gives you more wounds on the field than 25pts a model, but thats neither here nor there for the rules.

Frosty the Pyro Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 you purchase units in the exact same fashion you would for a standard 40k game. Therfore you must abide by minimum squad size, weapon limits, etc. For guard if you want vets you need the rest of the platoon too, once on the feild they are all their own individual guys, but untill then, no different than creating a regular list (well aside for low point total and altered FOC) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202092-kill-team-model-question/#findComment-2408216 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 For guard if you want vets you need the rest of the platoon tooNo you don't. Platoons and veteran squads are in seperate slots, like tactical and scout squads.

But this has helped me too, I was bit unsure as to how they figured. Damn well means I can't do my 4 man vanguard squad of doom.
