A photo of a game of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. The board looks like the metal of the inside of an ancient steampunk starship, and the terrain is a bunch of walls all connected together in the same steampunk style to form number of interconnecting rooms. On the left are my forces, the hulking and putrid Death Guard in large military green amour with all sorts of tentacles and demon faces coming out of the armour. Facing them on the other side of the board are the military arm of the Imperial Church, the women warriors of the Adeptus Sororitas. Five of them are heavily armoured in black armour with striking white hair and big guns, and the other five are basically not armoured at all and wielding HUGE chainswords like complete maniacs.

A close-up photo looking down a long corridor from just above my Death Guard Champion, the leader of my team. He has horns growing out of his shoulder pads and has a plasma pistol and a massive powerfist. At the other end of the corridor are two of the black-armoured warrior women and two of the Sisters Repentia with the huge chainswords.

Post-work Kill Team in the office again! This time we went back to the Compendium teams, Death Guard versus Adeptus Sororitas with a fireteam of Sisters Repentia. I lost 15-11, but almost entirely due to forgetting about my damn TacOps. 🙄 It likely would have been at least a draw had I remembered them, if not an outright win.

That being said, player of the match definitely goes to my leader who faced down this entire corridor of Sisters and ended up killing ALL of them. He was down to 1 wound left in the very last turn, and was let down by some extremely poor rolling on my part and ended up getting killed contesting an objective.

A close-up of one of the bits of action. One of my Aeldari, who has dark skin with a bald head and a cool top-knot ponytail thing going on and is wielding two nasty-looking pistols, is standing right between two of the Sisters of the Battle, while a third Sister looks on.

And after work, an introductory game of Kill Team for one of my co-workers! He'd never played before so we only got through two turns since I was explaining the rules as we went. Play of the match went to Adrenra Firewinter, my Starstorm Duellist, who ran into the teeth of the enemy and melted the enemy Sister with the meltagun and took the other one down to two wounds remaining. (She in turn was melted by the Sister Superior's combi-melta, but ah well.)

Next time I definitely need to remember to bring one of my own Compendium teams for introductory games though. Might be a good opportunity to break out the ol' Death Guard again.

First game of Kill Team with my Voidscarred tonight! It was against the Sisters of Battle, I won 18-13. Really enjoyed this layout from the new Critical Tac-Ops, it required a lot of strategising about where to go and which hatches to open when.

The Voidscarred are so much fun to play, they've got lots of things they can do and the free Dash action every turn is brilliant, it makes them incredibly fast to move around. Good LORD the Sisters' "Divine Intervention" tactical ploy that lets them ignore the damage from a single attack dice was a pain though. It would have been four or five times I was about to kill a miniature and my opponent was able to pull that off to save them!

Favourite moment was absolutely melting one unit with my Starstorm Duellist's dual fusion pistol, shooting another with her shuriken pistol, and then using the Way Seeker's Warp Fold psychic power to swap positions with the Duellist and proceed to beat down on another unit that was next to the one I'd just melted. I ended up sweeping up and around the top to claim six objectives, while my forces at the bottom ended up getting annihilated and not accomplishing a whole lot, though it DID end up with a bunch of my opponent's forces down there without being able to get to anywhere useful so it worked out well enough in the end.

A photo of ten grey plastic miniatures of the "Sisters of Battle" faction in Warhammer 40,000. They're all women wearing power armour and wielding big-arse guns, and the lore is that they're the military wing of the Imperial Church so there's a distinctly religious feel to them.

Man, I thought the Drukhari were fiddly to assemble, the Sisters of Battle are even more so.

Such fantastic miniatures though!

A photo of the box of five Astra Militarum Scions (heavily-armoured troopers carrying a variety of special weapons) and a box of ten Battle Sisters, who are the military arm of the Imperial Church in Warhammer 40,000 and as the name suggests are all women. They look very striking, the armour is black, with red cloaks, and they all have pure white hair with bob haircuts.

The last box of five Scions I need for my all-women squad just arrived, and I may have slipped and also ordered a box of Battle Sisters as well. 😜
