A Plog.....About Kill Teams.

[halosghost]

Welcome, one and all, to this ...... A Plog ...... About Kill Teams!

A couple of friends and i recently decided that, it would be a good idea to start (yet another) project. A 3 way kill team tourny, the details of which are unkown to me at the moment of writing this intro.

this log will detail mine, Sprugly's and possibly Orion Vargu's efforts to create three 200 point forces.

to get the ball rolling, here is my list*

From the guard codex.

Veteran Squad.
2x grenade Launcher
1x Sniper (Scout USR)
1x autocannon (Relentless USR)

Stormtrooper Squad.
1x Power Weapon (Furious Charge USR)
1x Meltagun

*List may be subject to change

and because no plog would be complete without any pictures..



to explain....my plan is to build a dark mechanicus/skitarri force using the Guard rules, this was a quick tester model to try some ideas. It was soon decided that he was to "Necrony"

i then came up with this..




this is obviously going to be my sniper guy, a little more work to do on him though, or i may come up with a whole new model, things are still in the throwing stuff together stage atm.

and finaly..



a man portable autocannon

well, i've banged on for long enough i think, hopefully Sprugly will have a few words to say before long, but for now, feel free to comment or critisize anything you've seen here today.

Hi all,

Pitching in with my ideas for my kill team.

I'm going to use the guard codex to and my list is,

10 veterans,
2 grenade launchers
Autocannon.

Valkyrie!


This will be a bit of a combo of 2 ideas I had of guard armies is like. A air cav list, hence the valkyrie. And rat guard! I'll be making all my models with skaven parts with ig weapons.

Unfortunately no pics from me, unless you want a pic of a pile of valkyrie parts, bit ill work on that and the skaven are in the post!

Cheers all

I have been spending all day on the Internet collecting ideas for my kill team. I have however the not so uncommon trait of never actually finishing any modelling projects (Space Wolves) but I am going to try and contribute to this one with my idea of doing some heresy era iron hands. Lots of bionics and possibly some forgeworld armour sets. Got to write a list. Not many marines for 200pts so maybe I can pull this off.

[sprugly]

I know you struggle with a full 1500 point force but Surely you can finish a 200 army! Lol

Maybe after this little change you'll be more inspired to do some more to your wolves?

Sprugly

[Orion Vargus]

Lol I have been doing more to my wolves I'll get some pics and add some to my dead blog lol.
I dunno if these are the rules we are using [Linkage] http://www.keepandshare.com/doc/1855...24-pm-19k?da=y

But if they are it says no Armour Values meaning tanks etc.

So that will Buck the idea of a Valkyrie up for you spugly.

[sprugly]

I think they've added a few bits to the rules on that one for their tournament. Other than the vehicle bit and the codex addendums (which look good to me) its the same as the one I have.

Final verdict lies with halosghost as he has a copy of the original.

Mwhaaaa ha ha ha.....the power....



Id say we can use valk, AV is only 12 at the max, so there should be plenty that can deal with it.

But I dont know about those hellstrikes, they might be a bit overpowered, im thinking about the range more than anything here.

Personaly id say loose them or use the missile pods?

Thoughts welcome

Great to see a joint kill team plog up, make sure to post Battle reports when your done!

@Haloghost: I quite like the Admech soldier, it looked badass Though the Guardsman is equally as good

[sprugly]

I was refering more to what was in the book.

Sprugly

[New Cult King]

Huzzah for Kill Teams! I should take pics of my NL KT.

[halosghost]

@sprugly oh......in that case ignore that and carry on, obviously the slightest hint of power goes straight to my head.

@converter15 ... Thanks, ill probably use something like the soldier for my stormtroopers,the'll just look a bit more human, maybe with different weapons aswell

@new cult king ... Cool, would love to see some pictures.

...halo...

I thought I would add what I've started doing for my Iron Hands KT. I have gone of the idea of heresy era iron hands as I think by the time I have add bionics the models will be suitable cool enough (At least I hope so any way).
For my list I'm thinking either:

7 Stern Guard Vets, 2 with missle launchers and Sgt With a Power Weapon

or (Sprugly's Idea)

5 Stern Guard Sgt with Power Fist and a Razor Back with Heavy Bolter
Got to look into the points of that one but the first is exactly 200.

I opted to scratch build the bionics which proved to be pretty difficult but after lots of trial and error I've settled on the idea below as they are relatively easy conversion but also effective looking hope you guys like the WIP.





Also sorry about the poor photo's my camera phone sucks!!

[sprugly]

Looking good, I promise ill get enough done to post some pics soon!

As for the list, 5 sternguard with a fist and a heavy bolter razorback is 190 so you have a little wiggle room left.

[Lowmans]

I like the sniper guy.... He looks kinda.... Ratty.... More piccies please

[Orion Vargus]

I got my digital camera out tonight and took some better photos...ish
I changed the marines bolter by cutting the ammo drum from the vehicle sprue storm bolter. and had a play with some scenic base ideas too obiviously still early days.


I had a delivery of a load of goodies for this project but left them at work so more pics friday as I will be working until 8pm tomorrow

Really looking forward to seeing what Halo and Sprugly are going to come up with its normally those guys smashing out the models while I trail behind.

[halosghost]

I should have some bits up soon, just waiting for some supplies to come in then I can get on properly, that marine looks cool..

...halo...

[sprugly]

Ashamed at my lack of pictures!

Sprugly

[sprugly]

Pictures!!!!!

So to prove that I've not been totally useless here are a few pics of the work I've been doing with my valkyrie.

The first 4 are pics of the new crew, I've used the clanrat models. Originally I was going to use them for my vet squad bit they're a bit too small for the guard arms so I have ordered some stormvermin for them.

The last 2 are of the magnetized wing and missile so I can swap out weapons in the future.













I'm still waiting for the stormvermin so till then I'll continue with the valk.

Hope you like!

Sprugly
