Hi all,

Long time lurker and 40K player, I have my first intro game at my LGS on Wednesday.

From 40K I have both the Novitiates and Mandrakes painted up. I like the look of both from the rules, but what should I use for learning the game?

So I am aware that you cannot use the same action twice in one round, but can I shoot and then use Dakka Dash ability to shoot twice in an activation?

He blew up a Captain. 😂

Hi friends I'm new to the hobby. I mentioned to my family that I wanted a box of CSM to play kill team with. On my birthday they got me a regular CSM squad box. I was surprised because, as far as I can tell, it's not possible to get the KT legionaries box yet, but they insist that both kits have everything I need to make a full killteam. Is this true? Are there any units or wargear options I won't have access to?

Scenario: The target operative is in conceal and on a vantage point and is within one inch of the light terrain rampart in front of them, and within one inch of the heavy terrain wall that’s below the rampart.

The shooter is more than two inches below the target and so the targeting lines are going up from base to base at an angle that cuts through the heavy wall.

Question: If the shooter ignores light cover for purposes of selecting a valid target (eg has seek light), is the operative on the vantage point a valid target? Or does the targeting lines cutting through the heavy wall below the target mean the target operative being in conceal and one inch from heavy terrain mean it can’t be targeted?

Howdy! I scoured the subreddit looking for an answer to this but I wasn't able to find one. I dont need help with the physical building of the models, i've been putting models from all sorts of materials together for over a decade. I'm just unfamiliar with the Killteam rules (I havent played 40k in like 8 years, and mostly play other skirmish games like Infinity and Malifaux these days), so I was wondering what kits/weapons were recommended for each mini what squad loadout is recommended, because simply put I have no idea what I'm doing in this game and this box is how I'm going to start gaining experience (I'd watch youtube but long story there I can't)

So somebody is in a control range if within 1 inch and visible. What if the enemy model is more than 1 inch above you (let’s say that he is on the barrels on Volkus terrain)?

How to achieve boxart shoulders (and other gold/brass elements, aquila drone etc.)

I tried two ways proposed by warhammer tv, Retributor and Runelord. Both I layered and highlighted using citadel app appropriate layer paints.

First is Retributor armour + reikland fleshhide + auric armour gold + stormhost silver

Second is Runelord brass + reikland fleshhide + sycorax bronze + stormhost silver

I personaly think runelord + reikland is much much closer, but what do you think. How did you paint yours?

So I played Joint Ops last week with 2 friends as a way to learn the game, but I think we got the NPO behaviour wrong.

The behaviours are written as something like 1.Fight 2.Charge 3.move, and 1.Shoot. 2.move

So when we had melee NPOs that could charge, we had then charge but then do nothing and if they were in melee they fought. But we never made them charge then fight as the order of operations seem to imply that was wrong.

Same with shooting. We never made them move then shoot, just shoot or move.

Is that wrong? I know you're meant to make the worst decision for yourself, but the rules as written seemed to imply you worked doen the behaviours from top to bottom

Thanks

Not sure if "Question" or "Hobby" is the better flair...

Some time back, I saw somewhere on the interwebs, someone that had made a combination display/storage container for their kill team minis that was essentially a Munitorum Armoured Container that was held closed with magnets, with the minis inside held in place also with magnets.

But now I can't for the life of me find it. Did I dream this? Do they exist? Did GW do a cease and desist on copyright grounds or something?

How can I deal against them? It seems like they have too many things going for them. Armour save 2+ once per turning point, worsening hit skill against them, ignoring injury, ignoring piercing, punishing on defensive dices, +1 Apl on a whim, - 1 apl if I'm close enough, free Cp each turn... It seems to me that they have too many tricks up their sleeve. Any tips/tricks?

I decided that I'd finally get a squad painted in a reasonable amount of time before playing. Nothing special, just good enough to look nice at table distance and help distinguish them a little from all the other hordes of grey.

Hi.

The blast rules state that if the primary target was in cover and obscured so do the secondary targets. It does not say anything about vantage special rules.

1. When I shoot from vantage to engaged enemy with blast I assume that I get accurate 1/2. Do I also get it when rolling for attack on the secondary target?

2. When I shoot enemy in conceal and in cover - the enemy can retain additional automatic save. Does this apply to secondary targets as well?
