Lord_Ikka Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Have a quick question for the frater- what would you have in an Ordo Astartes kill-team? I have a bunch of Inquisition warband projects, and felt like having a specific Ordo Astartes one would be interesting, so wanted some input on what would be considered a good setup for the team. My initial thoughts are this: Inquisitor- Power Armor w/inferno or plasma pistol, and some sort of force weapon (thinking that a psyker might have a better chance interviewing SM) Interrogator- Most melee-oriented of the group, either stimmed-up or some sort of tinkering with muscles, probably a power weapon and pistol Savant(s)- one or two non-combat characters, standard sort of scribe/info servitor Combat team- 5 to 6 man group of various mercs/ex-IG/stormtroopers armed with high-grade ranged weaponry. Plasmaguns, meltaguns, and maybe a servitor with a heavy bolter. I figure that going toe-to-toe with possible renegade or suspicious Space Marines wouldn't turn out well, so maybe having a group that concentrates on firearms that have a higher likelyhood of injury/lethality towards Astartes would make more sense.

WAR Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) You may also want: castigator- as truth seeker Medicae- for various reasons Combat teams you may want to give them hot shot weapons and web weapons also Null weaponry also may be a good choice Edited July 14, 2022 by war009 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/374984-ordo-astartes-kill-team/#findComment-5846106 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ikka Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Hmm. I like that- gives me more to play with as far as uniqueness among the models.

Brother Tyler Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 One idea for the Ordo Astartes can be found in the homegrown rules we developed for the Inquisition in the previous edition of the Kill Team game. You can find the "unchained" version here.

Lord_Ikka Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) Well, I've got three members built so far, as well as another two ordered. Built Luther-pattern Automata, customized with a electro-harpoon and heavy stubber w/armor-piercing ammunition Meltagunner, former Astra Militarum - Regiment [REDACTED] Gun-hand, former Cult of Redemption "Execroix" Still got some minor work to do on these, but mostly done with them as far as modeling goes- I'll put them in my main Inquisition blog in the WIP section when I actually paint them. I've got the Inquisitor herself (3d printed bounty-hunter who is reminiscent of Lady Credo) and the Interrogator (FW Scrutinor-Primus Servalen). Looking at a medic (Necromunda Rogue Doc or see if I can find a Rogue Trader medic on eBay), savant (SoB Hagiolator), and probably melee fighter (Blackstone Fortress Crusader?) to round them out. The idea is to have the majority of the combat members wearing "standardized" carapace armor, with high-energy weaponry that could conceivably take down a Marine. The non-combat members will be more varied in look.
