4th ed kill team with Heresy lists

[Rune Priest Ridcully]

I was wondering if anyone had tried it, as me and a my mate prefer them over the new ones, and I was thinking it could be a very good way of portraying smaller actions in the heresy, especially post isstvann actions undertaken by the shattered legions, as you could have a small band of loyalists trying to strike at a critical ammo dump or gene seed repository of  the traitors.

Would be a great way to use HH rules/units - this has been mentioned before.

 

But, check out the points cost of the units, due to their starting size, the options are extremely limited depending on the points you run at.

You don't need to have units at their base size for it, albeit it gives the enemy extra brutes.

Even if you use the stock rules, it can be done. You're not forced to take a Troops Choice, You can use Elites or Fast Attack which open up your choices vastly. It's interesting to use the Legion rules, too. For example, Salamanders still get their flamer bonus', Iron Hands cannot use jetbikes in a force this small, and Night Lords can take a small but well equipped Terror squad Don't forget the specialist rules, too.

Here's some example lists:

Legiones Astartes:
List 1
Recon squad (5 men) + 2 Sniper Rifles, 5 Cameleoline
Rapier Weapons Battery with Heavy Bolters
Total = 200

List 2
Skyhunter unit (4 men) + 1 multimelta, 4 meltabombs
Total = 200

Mechanicus:
List 1
Enginseer unit +1 Enginseer
- Servo-automata + Rotor Cannon
- Servo-automata + Heavy Bolter
- Servo-automata + Multimelta
- Servo-automata + Servo Arm
Tech-thrall Adsecularis [10 men]
Tech-thrall Adsecularis [10 men]
Total = 200

List 2
4 Thallax* + 1 Photon Thruster
Total = 200


^{*before anyone jumps on me... the Kill Team rules state you can't take anything with more than 3 wounds.}

Support squads also. A whole squad rocking volkite calivers would be disturbingly fun. Heresy era attack bikes can also rock an autocannon, which could seriously ruin someone's day.

Death Guard Heavy Support Squad all armed with Heavy Flamers... Shred. Make it even more fun and mix it with Zone Mortalis. S6 Shred.

Destroyer squad with rad launcher...

 

 

Muwahahahaha

Just played a couple of kill team games. The first was Night Lord Terror Squad against World Bearer CSM (tactical with a few bikes). I made a couple of mistakes, took a flamer (waste) and no volkites (higher strength and 2 shots). Plasma/Melta gun with ignore cover specialist is a killer for marines.

 

Second game was an Infernal Legion (aka Salamanders) Seeker squad against 5 raptors and 10 cultists. I was very unlikely with saving throws but they did pretty well. High BS and special ammo was pretty good. I lost because the game ended 5th turn, if it had gone another I probably would have won.

 

Pretty good but very few models when playing against 40k
