apologist Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 As suggested in News and Rumours, this thread’s intended for those to post progress of painting their Kroot Killteam ahead of buying the new box! No pressure, no guarantee; just a bit of fun. Post what you’ve got, and post updates often. Soon as you have your Killteam done, you can buy the box :D Triszin, sitnam, mel_danes and 1 other 3 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trokair Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 While I support the sentiment I personally am going to wait until the box is out. They mentioned on the stream that there is some cross compatibility between the Kill Tem and the Carnivore kits, so I intend to get some additional build variety out of throwing the kits together, plus some unbuilt old school Kroot as well and use the new part to spice up them up. All the best to those of you doing the Farstaltkers now. MithrilForge 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Guard Dan Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I’ve located my kill team box. The oath is sworn. Makes me nervous we don’t know when the box is coming out. I’m going to start assembling tonight. I’ve read that two of the kill team operatives build off the same body. Many people just use a warrior body to make the other operative. Which two operatives use the same body? Trokair and sitnam 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which two operatives use the same body? The Tracker (bird-guy) and Stalker (stealth knife guy). I built the tracker as normal, and used this body for the stalker It’s an easy conversion tbh, just put the shotgun on the back and use that alternate knife arm on the left arm. The kit comes with a decent amount of bits. i have finished my team, but I wish you frater best of luck. In spirit, I will be attempting to finish my FEC box before the Kroot box Wolf Guard Dan, Dr_Ruminahui, apologist and 1 other 2 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
de Selby Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 This is a great idea. I have a bunch of old kroot in snow scheme and an unpainted kill team. Since there is other stuff to come and my pile of shame is as tall as me, I may or may not buy the big box depending on price. But I will be posting kill team updates to this thread.

apologist Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 (edited) Here’s my Killteam (along with a couple of Kroothounds) Perfect reason to finish painting them. +Edit+ … and an hour or so later, the bow-hunter and long-sight are coming along: Edited January 20 by apologist Trokair, Fire Golem, sitnam and 4 others 5 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halandaar Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Thanks for setting up the thread! Stuff like this is the motivation I need to pick off odds and ends in my backlog, and the Kinband Kill Team is exactly in that category; they've been sat partially painted for absolutely ages and need finishing!

de Selby Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Took me half an hour to find my guys, they were infiltrating disguised as blood angels. Anyway I built the first half.

apologist Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 Saturday rolls round, so I thought I’d see how everyone’s getting on – whether you’ve had a chance to make progress yet or not.

Wolf Guard Dan Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Today was my first opportunity to work on the project. I’ve got the Kill broker and long sight assembled. I almost gave up on the whole project trying to get the long sight’s arms to fit and glue. I’m hoping that the rest of the team doesn’t have such fiddly construction as that step.

Kilcin Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Started assembling my Kinband; got the Kill-Broker assembled.

I used to use shadow grey as a highlight but it no longer exists, so the current recipe is spray corax white with wyldwood contrast over that vallejo dark prussian blue vallejo sky blue highlight/overbrush vallejo white highlight/drybrush gw drakenhof nightshade wash i think its the last two steps that are responsible for the desaturated look.

Wolf Guard Dan Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I've been in a hobby rut and have been spending time playing the Rogue Trader computer game. It is very immersive and I recommend it. Thanks to your accountabili-buddy post I have refocused my efforts. Tonight I finished all but three of my kinband. I still have to assemble the heavy gunner, convert the stalker, and the leftover warrior. I am still learning kill team so I am indecisive about which heavy weapon to assemble. I may magnetize. My plan is to assemble the last 3 tomorrow. The next step is deciding a paint scheme. I may go with the standard light green. The light brown/tan from the LVO preview looked good too. Historically, deciding paint scheme has been another foil in my hobby efforts.
