Rules question. Access point and counteract reposition.

Hi! With new edition comes new rules and new arguments.

A group of us are questioning the ruling of only being able to move 2” for a counteract and the 2” charge of the legionary butcher.

So situation: on gallowdark I’m behind an open door and I get to counteract. The movement restriction is 2” but it will cost me 1” to go through the door. Can I get through?

Is the maximum 2” movement the movement you physically can move or is that your new move stat?

Similar to how you can get a full reposition from your scouting option but you can only move 3” out of your deployment.

Thanks!

I feel like I'm playing Krieg/Mechanicus wrong

I've been playing iterations of kill team since the 1st edition and this is the first time I'm sitting down on turn 2 and thinking, "what on earth is anyone supposed to do with this?".

Elite armies with portable barricade, ladder, and whatever else. Turn one climb up, no where to hide, lose several models (mostly those best positioned or able to kill marines). Return fire, lots of tricks to mitigate damage. Heavy of some variety advances to center with portable barricade because there's no AP2 to substantially wound the model. Top of turn 2, one (or zero) models from the marine side dead, most guard/mechanicus special weapons dead or injured from regular shooting and counteracts.

Is the terrain supposed to be a lot more line of sight blocking? We're scratching Volkus together from normal ruins in squares, treating windows as blocking, etc. Still extremely grim shooting. Also feels like the lessons of vantage in KT2 have been entirely forgotten.

Dry brushing is hard!!

It's looks sooo much easier than it is, I very obviously overdid it in some spots, and even ended up covered my carefully painted dots on the shoulders and knees. Did I just keep too much paint on the brush? Or did I over apply? A little of both?? I'm just looking for tips for the next model.

Also side note, White Scar is DOG SHIT and it's the first Citadel paint I cannot stand to use. Liquid chalk ass garbage. If anyone has any alternatives they like with the same color profile, would be much appreciated, thanks!

Scouts vs Nemesis Claw for beginners

Hi all, I was planning on starting up kill team with my brother, and he was planning on taking scouts. I've heard that the elite teams like either nemesis or legionnares are over tuned at the moment, and as bothe of us are learning the game I didn't want to rake a team that hell have a difficult time keeping up with or even winning at all. Any recommendations or should I go with a different team that I'd still be happy with like corsairs.

New to KT, would this terrain set be good for a typical game?

I'm looking for something a bit cheaper and more approachable than GW plastic terrain, and this set (Found here) caught my eye. I'm brand new to KT, and I'd like to be able to play a quick game on my kitchen table when I have friends over. Plus it would be fun to paint and decorate it however I like. Would this work, or should I look for something else?

Does anyone have the final balance dataslate for 2nd Edition?

I’ve tried to find the final balance dataslate online but it looks like GW took it down to make way for 3rd edition. Does anyone have a pdf they could share? Or know where I could find one?

My group is trying to put together a complete 2nd edition physical collection so we can always go back and play, and a high quality printout of the final balance dataslate would be a great addition.

Phobos for Beginners

My ten year old son is interested in 40K, and specifically in Kill Team and the Space Marines. For his birthday I want to put together a Phobos kill team for him and get them painted up as Black Templars, which are his favorite. I’m looking for recommended team configurations - I know there are a lot of different ways to build a team, and I don’t play Kill Team yet / will be learning it with him. But I’m a slow painter, so I need to start soon. Pretend you’re helping a kid who likes space marines and wants to learn Kill Team : what models should I get, and how should I configure them in terms of weapons / loadout? Looking for something simple and straight forward, so we can get models on table. I guess I’m not hitched to the Phobos idea, it just seemed like an easy place to get the models I need. Thanks!

More Troupe questions!

Looking for advice on adding some more clowns to my list! Got a 2nd box of Harlequins and I'm wanting to get some different builds with weapons.

Currently I have the following:

Lead Player - Fusion pistol/Power weapon

Player - Shuriken pistol/Blade Player - Shuriken pistol/Caress Player - Shuriken pistol/Kiss Player - Shuriken pistol/Embrace Player - Neuro-disrupter/Kiss Shadowseer - Shuriken pistol/Miststave Death Jester - Shuriken cannon/Shrieker blade

Should I just double up on Blade/Caress/Embrace, maybe change pistols on some Ops?

Where to buy?

I picked up the Hivestorm box, loving it, my wife and I have been playing a lot however she had zero interest in the included teams and wanted to play her Necrons, We made it work proxy-ing some models she already owns but I’ve ordered her the legit kill team box so her Plasmacytes with be visually distinguishable and she will be able to have the bits to build the cool models from the team.

I’ve looked online, watch video unboxings and googled for the tokens specifically but I can’t actually see physical tokens anywhere.

Are these available to buy or have GW just added this page in the app so you can print your own tokens?

Thanks for the help and also, fuck Necrons I keep getting stomped.

Agents players, which tac ops have you been using?

We can take any of them, which ones have you found reliable? And which operatives/combos help you score best?

Navis C.A.T. Unit

When it says "Select one enemy operative visible to this operative.", does "select" count as "targeting" and make it so that I cannot select a unit benefiting from cover with the conceal order?

Or can I select a target who would otherwise be an Invalid Target and are units then able to Shoot at the Spotted model since they would then gain the Seek Light ability (provided the enemy is in Light Cover)?
