250 Kill Team

[Ragged Warrior]

Hey Hive!

Ragged Warrior here with a new list. Met some success with this army, and it was a lot of fun to field.

HQ:
Vanilla Prime

Troops:
Warriors x 3 w/ Barbed Strangler
Tunnel Swarms (3) x 2


Let me know what you think, and please try it out.

Regards,

What will you do against Tanks?

[Macradon]

This is a 250 pts. Kill points, no tanks can fit in there, because Heavy support can not be chosen in Kill Team.

Tis army seems pretty descent. The last time I played Kill Team, I used only vanilla Stealers, very effective against anything, due to rending and 'high' Initiative. You can easily kill tanks with Stealers, if they choose any vehicle for their squad. Warriors may have the chance of killing 10- vehicles, but they can just go around behind cover, get in charge range and kill everything with their attacks and re rolling.

The Tunnel Rippers .... you have to make them stay in synapse, else they'll just die due to their stupid minds ... But if you keep them in synapse (Due to the warriors moving alone on the board, providing a lot of synapse) then they may be effective. Remember the rules of Kill Team. NO RESERVES. So tunnel swarm is just waste of points ...

My opinion.

I've run 2x5 maxed out rippers. yes some of them just died. But! you can DS them and shoot the (please do not swear) out of things, since in KT you can split fire and you have a ton of shots. also Overwatch will kill things dead, if not, poison works great.

Or, take 25 hypergaunts, hormies w/ TS and AG. If they Rage...yay! making all the rolls is a pain, but it's tons of fun!

Hey Tyranid Tamer,

Thanks for the heads-up about no reserves in kill teams. Didn't know that one .

I like the idea of 4 variously armed warriors, a zoanthrope and 5 gargoyles as a kill team

right! Well there goes the crazy Ripper army.

I did have a blast with the all Hormagaunt list with maxed stuff, it was so much fun! I had a ton of board control considering it's a 4x4 board and the hormies are each their own unit. You pretty much have control of everything. and since hormies aren't that big, and have move through cover, they're surprisingly hard to kill.

Are they letting you pick any USRs for individual models like in the Battle Missions book? Eternal Warrior on the DoM is nasty...as is Smash for a Prime or a Brood Lord...
