Knives In The Shadows 2025 Hall of Honour and Winners Poll

[Lysimachus]

Ok, these are the completed Kill Teams from KitS* 2025 . An amazing job by all involved, with some beautiful Teams painted and some inspiring, grimdark and/or very funny fluff that has been created to go along with them! Well done everyone!

 

*I only just noticed that acronym

 

 

Voting:

 

All board members are invited to express their approval of these superb entries (you don't have to have taken part, or completed a Team in order to vote!)

 

Each Frater can give a vote to their 3 favourite Teams. The 3 entries with the highest number of votes will gain 3rd (Bronze), 2nd (Silver) and 1st (Gold) places respectively.

 

I'll spread the Teams out into their Alliances over the next few posts, as I'm not sure how many pics I can get in 1 post.

Amazing entries, one and all! Tough vote to cast, but I made myself do it!

 

I should just say that my team shouldn’t be included in this list as I didn’t finish the full team and only painted 4 of those 5 models during the event. I’m sure I won’t get many votes anyway but just saying I shouldn’t really be included in the voting.

 

Great fun and some amazing teams!

Agreed, this one was hard to vote between, all the teams were great! Also I really liked your team and the fluff that came with it.

Technically, yes. You weren't the only one who didn't quite manage the full 6 man team for Astartes.

 

But to be honest, imho they were great teams with really striking, characterful paint schemes, and it just felt a bit... churlish, I guess? ...of me not to include them with the rest of the finished teams just because there was 1 dude missing?

 

If people want to include criteria like that in their voting decisions, that's cool. But in the end, the whole thing is all just a bit of fun and group motivation, and I think you should be proud of what you accomplished. They look cracking!
