In the office for a game of Kill Team today! We did three-player, which I much prefer over 1v1 because I feel like there's less pressure since your opponents need to split their attention a bit.
It was the new Canoptek Circle and Deathwatch teams from the Tomb World box versus my Angels of Death, and unsurprisingly I came last, final score was 9-6-4 to the Necrons. The Necrons only got two victory points from objectives, everything else was from kills and their regenerating wounds is surely going to get nerfed in the next balance update because jesus christ. I got the leader down to 7 wounds (from a start of 14), and one of the Tomb Crawlers down to 9 (from a start of 21!) and both of them ended up healing all of the wounds later on. It's also worth noting that it ended up basically being the two Space Marine teams pincering into the middle towards the Necrons, so the Necrons were fighting on two fronts and they still ended up winning. The three Necron Warriors were annoying too because they don't count towards getting kills for victory points, and one of them comes back each turn if you kill them!
Granted, this wasn't helped by me forgetting my rules multiple times, and the Deathwatch having two melee operatives that did almost nothing the whole game. 😅 Still, it was overall a fun game though even though I lost horribly, there weren't any streaks of absolutely shockingly poor rolling for anyone.
