Thinking of getting into Kill Team and found a local shop still has the Octarius box for $200. I understand I'll want to grab one of the space hulk boxes for the interior terrain, but are there any other big boxes that are good value vs just getting rhe teams? Seems like the ship terrain is mostly duplicated and the first wave is out of print

Cease to Hope posted:all of the boxes are good value if you want both teams and the terrain and the codex for those teams. unless they're marked up, they remain a decent discount as long as you want three of those things. Thanks. I guess the questions are, are the space hulk boxes worth getting the couple extra bits of terrain for; are the old season boxes just gone; and does the recent inquisition/cult box have terrain with it?

Yeah I guess the question is spending like $100 getting the terrain, actual army books, and it's in the store at least while I don't think the new starter kit is. I've got some Star Wars Legion terrain which probably pulls double duty?

Alright just got Kill Team Octarius. The important question is should I paint the guardsmen as Armageddon Steel Legion or semi-canon Great War French

SuperKlaus posted:You paint fast. Wow. Thanks, I was very bored Sunday lol. Couple questions about the game: -I understand tac ops have been massively erratad, is it possible to reasonably proxy the new ones with the old deck? The replacement just has one deck, right? -On that note, what's a good recommendation for Vet Guard/Kommandos tac ops to get a handle on learning the game? -Are any of the Into the Dark season boxes still available or am I gonna have to shell out like $150 for just the terrain?

hoiyes posted:Hard disagree. You only make a handful of key rolls a turn which is tense and exciting irl. Compared to rolling literally 100+ dice to resolve a single units attack in 40k which holy poo poo kill me now is not fun. Yeah what I mean is more that the game is very fun in the best or even the average case but the worst case really sucks, which is kinda problematic in a campaign game. But very much agreed the rules are infinitely more playable than 40k

Assessor of Maat posted:Yeah, at this point it's easy to sidestep the issue of primaris marines by just making its framing device prior to 40K's present day. Put it during the sabbat crusade, second tyrannic war, something like that for bonus nerd baiting. Out of curiosity since I'm not that up on the lore, would subbing Leagues of Votann in for Squats (aesthetically at least) fit for Epic Armageddon?

 These Sisters have been sitting on my desk taunting me for like a week now. I want the pastel blue with whites and yellow highlights, but I'm not really sold on this. Considering repainting the bodysuit as pale yellow and the armor as metallic blue-gray?

Thanks for all the advice. I'm not sure where to use a more saturated color here- I like the pastel blue as a main theme. Maybe go for white or very pale gray for the armor instead of a yellow paint or blue steel look?

Virtual Russian posted:Vassal is a little less flashy than TTS, but it has good epic (and BFG) support. Because everything is 2D sprites it feels a lot more cohesive. LOS just has to be done base to base. Thanks, do you have a link to the module? Can't seem to find it

Xlorp posted:Tomb Kings really don't have a chance in Warmaster either, despite being one of the only two armies available at initial game launch. I've toyed around with rules tweaks and it just seems best to give them an handicap % point bonus to use on units for a given match size. They still have command issues like no initiative charges, and their basic infantry aren't worth the break point increase they give. How do people feel about Warmaster btw, it's been my current thing I'm reading too much about instead of working

moths posted:It's very well loved. Xlorp posted:Join us..... Okay let's assume I'm stupid enough to do this, where's a good way to get armies in the US without access to a resin printer?* The rules look interesting- I like how movement is kinda abstracted, and I really feel like GW stuff just works better at a higher level of abstraction than counting individual guys with plasma guns. It is a little annoying that the army lists are very old fluff wise (wasn't this the first appearance of Tomb Kings ever?) and I'm not really sold on magic especially but also command seeming kinda swingy without good access to rerolls *same question goes for epic armageddon for similar reasons

Hmm sounds like I should start with the corsair and then get Archon once I know what I'm doing, especially since I wanted a team with some psychic powers. Though that boarding patrol is both kinda tempting and a touch out of my current price range.

Picked up a skitarii box for kill team. I know you can't really play them without sicarians, but I'm still trying to figure out how to build them. From what I've heard: leader, diktat, surveyor, arc/plasma gunners, and 2 troopers building all vanguards except the gunners. That should leave me with 3 extra bodies. I think you get a spare head for another leader build, and I wanna build the arquebus because its cool, then just get another trooper I guess? Maybe a ranger just to look different. Not sure if there's something else I should do, or what weapon loadouts for the leaders

Cease to Hope posted:EmanG, the demon STL guy, was also selling printed figures on Etsy. Thanks for the breakdown! Do you think you can get away with 1 box of sicarians built 4 stalkers 1 infiltrator then? Also I'm pretty sure I only get one arc maul, is there an easy kitbash or should one of the leaders get the taser instead?

Speaking of I'm being stupidly tempted to get some Warmaster armies even though I'm not quite sold on the gameplay (and I've already got one game I haven't played yet.) I like the larger scale and simpler rules, but it seems like there's a lot of high impact die rolls without many ways to modify them (wizard spells, commands especially for low command armies). Also it seems kinda fiddly positioning wise for something that zoomed out

I'll give the cannon a look then. The one thing I'm slightly hesitant about is I could use it if I end up trying to kitbash some thousand sons, but I can just give up on that idea (trying to find a single rubric spue instead of a full box)

Best solution I've got is buying each mini separately on eBay and it's still going to be like $100+. I guess it's not like I don't have a pile of grey plastic shame already... Yeah like I'm wondering if you can somehow kitbash 3 sorcerers out of a rubrics box but idk

Kommandos are usually reccomended as a starter team, theyre one box, in the starter set, relatively straightforward while also being pretty strong, and not too hard to paint or assemble
