A photo of the box of the Voidscarred Corsair squad for Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. They're basically punk space elf pirates, all wearing elegant flowing blue/green armour and sporting mohawks.

I DON'T HAVE TOO MANY MINIATURES, YOU HAVE TOO MANY MINIATURES. 😤

After playing that game of Kill Team the other week and discovering that the Heavy Gunner with the Wraithcannon is actually quite good in the current edition of Kill Team (I had constructed this squad during the last edition when the Wraithcannon was hot garbage so didn't construct it) I figured I'd get another box of Voidscarred and try swapping the Fate Dealer (sniper) out for the Heavy Gunner and make a couple of regular Warriors that I can swap out for some of the close combat specialists. It turns out Games Workshop appear to have stopped printing them entirely so I quickly snapped up a box from the usual place I get my miniatures from.

A photo of the start of our game of Kill Team. The terrain is all ruined industrial-looking concrete buildings with rusty pipes everywhere, and along the top of the ruins and in various spots down the sides there is snow that's fallen and collected so it looks extra desolate. Closest to the camera are my Corsair Voidscarred (think punk/pirate space elves) in elegant flowing fuchsia-coloured armour, and on the opposite side are the greenskinned orks. They're a very ramshackle bunch, wearing all sorts of differently-shaped armour that looks like it's been bashed together from whatever pieces of metal were available, and carrying weapons of very dubious quality.

It turns out that one of the people I play Kill Team in the office with actually lives just five minutes from us! So he came over today and we managed to get through a full game, my Corsair Voidscarred versus his Kommandos, and the Voidscarred actually won for once. 🎉 The final score was 11-7, I had five operatives left out of a starting total of nine, and the Kommandos only had their leader left out of a total of eleven.

Operative of the match definitely goes to my Starstorm Duellist Arendra Firewinter who accounted for three of the filthy Orks without getting killed herself (holy shit is her fusion pistol nasty). I also managed to position my Soul Weaver really well and she was able to heal my operatives on three separate occasions and give an extra APL on two. I'm sure I forgot a few things, but I think it was less than in the past, and I did remember the trick of charging into someone but not fighting them to completely negate the Rokkit Boy (he had to use both of his APL to fall back on one turn, then the next turn he was vaporised by Arendra's fusion pistol). This was also the first proper outing with my Hivestorm terrain and I'm absolutely stoked with how good it looked on the tabletop!

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. Closest to the camera are my Corsair Voidscarred (think punk/pirate space elves) in elegant fuchsia-coloured armour, and facing them on the far side of the board are the pustulant warriors of the Death Guard. There are three Plague Marines in hulking green armour with tentacles coming out of them, and six Poxwalkers which are basically zombies but with open wounds and bone spikes and tentacles.

A close-up photo of Arendra Firewinter, my Starstorm Duellist, right as she was vaporising one of the Plague Marines. She has dark skin and a bald head with a white flowing topknot, is wearing got a dark-ish teal cape that looks like it's blowing in the wind, and she's holding two elegant-looking alien pistols, one of them aimed forward and the other held pointing upright like she's just finished shooting it. Through the hatchway in front of her is one of the hulking Plague Marines holding a huge boltgun and with a demon face in his shoulderpad. Just to the left of frame you can see the Poxwalker's foot that she killed right after the Plague Marine.

I FINALLY got around to playing some single-player Kill Team! I decided to use my Corsair Voidscarred since I love the miniatures so much even though I'm pretty bad at remembering everything they can do (which I guess just means I need to play more). My Death Guard were the non-player operatives (NPOs) and I went with a mix of the light "brawler" troop type so I could have an excuse to use my Poxwalker miniatures, and the heavy "marksman" type for the Plague Marines.

It didn't actually start off super-well, I was very excited to see my Shaderunner get stuck in because she can teleport through walls, but misjudged where I could move her and keep her safe before she attacked, and she ended up getting killed by one of the Plague Marines before she did anything. 😞 I think I also need to rethink my initial deployment strategy on Into The Dark because I always end up sitting with a hatchway closed because I don't want to open it and give the enemy free reign to shoot my quite-squishy operatives, and if I was to run out my operatives would be completely murderised.

Operative of the match goes to my Starstorm Duellist Arendra Firewinter who single-handedly accounted for two of the three Plague Marines and one of the Poxwalkers. One of the Plague Marines in particular got absolutely turned into slag, he was on ten wounds and got hit with three critical successes from Arendra's fusion pistol, which meant that the Devastating 3 rule went off and immediately inflicted three damage for each crit, with no save possible, before anything else even happed. And in the same activation thanks to the Pistol Barrage ability that lets her shoot twice, once per pistol, she then turned around and killed the Poxwalker that was standing behind her with her shuriken pistol!

Overall I only lost three miniatures, the aforementioned Shaderunner along with my Way Seeker and my leader, and the win condition for this scenario was to just completely wipe out the enemy.

As I'm writing this, I realised another difficulty I have with the Voidscarred in particular is that they're very close-combat-focused because I built them all as the specialists with no regular warriors. My Fate Dealer doesn't see much action especially on Into The Dark (she did nothing whatsoever this game), and although the Kurnite Hunter finished off the remaining Plague Marine in this particular game, I'm constantly wishing that he was a regular Warrior with a shuriken rifle.

A photo of the board at the start of a game of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. The terrain is Ork-style and the structures look like like a junkyard and are very ramshackle. Closest to the camera are my Coirsair Voidscarred, basically lithe space elves in fuchsia armour and turquoise cloaks. I was facing Space Marines but you can't see them in the photo because they're all in cover and not visible from this point.

Had another game of Kill Team at @littleal@mastodon.au's place tonight. In news that will surprise nobody, we only got through two rounds, and I lost.

The first round started well, but it all fell apart in the second. I'm pretty sure the only time I've won with the Voidscarred is when I've played a horrendously imbalanced game against one of the not-very-good Compendium teams. 😕

Kill Team tonight, my Voidscarred versus the Elucidian Starstriders. I lost yet again, 13-10, though in my defence I'd never actually played against the Starstriders before so didn't have a handle on what they were like and boy do they have some unpleasant tricks. I also keep underestimating just how far stuff can move in a given turn and so fucked up the positioning of my troops on more than one occasion, and as per usual I completely forgot about all their equipment.

A photo of the board at the start of a game of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. The terrain is all rusty-looking and generally ruined, with several very ramshackle structures. Closest to the camera are my Coirsair Voidscarred, basically lithe space elves in fuchsia armour and turquoise cloaks, at the back right are the Veteran Guardsmen, a bunch of regular human warriors with big overcoats and all wearing gas masks, and at the back left are the Warp Coven, big heavily armoured super-human Chaos Space Marines whose armour is green with gold trim and they've got a very Egyptian feel to them.

We had a three-player game of Kill Team today, Corsair Voidscarred vs. Veteran Guard vs. Warp Coven!

...it didn't go well, I still don't really know what I'm doing with my Voidscarred and I keep forgetting their ploys. 😞 It was fun enough to play, but by the end of the second turn the scores were 10 to Veteran Guard, 4 to me, and 0 to Warp Coven, and there was exactly one miniature left of the Warp Coven which I killed in my first activation of the third turn before he could activate. 😅

We ended up calling it there because there was no possible way I could win. There were just too many Guardsmen to deal with, and like half of my team is short-ranged so several of them didn't even do ANYTHING before they were killed. There was also some spell that the Warp Coven Sorcerer cast in the second turn that utterly fucked me in particular, where nobody gets the extra 2" movement for charges and when you dash you lose 2" of range so you end up being able to dash all of 1". The Voidscarred rely heavily on their free dash, so... yeah.

The terrain we played on was fantastic, but I've decided I prefer the Into The Dark board setup because the first turn is easy (nobody is going to be able to shoot each other because the doors are all closed), and there's no vantage points to worry about either.

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.

A photo of the ten miniatures that are my Corsair Voidscarred squad. They're essentially space elf pirates, all their armour is elegant and flowing and a rich burgundy colour, and they have cool turquoise capes. They're branding various ranged and close-combat weapons, and several of them have brightly-coloured mohawks. They each have a personalised name plate attached to the front of their bases, with a smaller bit of text on top that gives the unit type ("Fate Dealer", "Soul Weaver", "Way Seeker", and other such cool-sounding things), and a larger piece of text along the bottom that gives the unit's actual name, which are all sort-of Celtic feeling.

There we go, the nameplates for my Corsair Voidscarred are done and attached!

A photo of ten rounded nameplates that attach to the front of the base of a Warhammer miniature. There's a big section around the base with the unit's actual name and then a smaller section on top with what type of unit they are. The unit names are sort-of Celtic as befits Aeldari, and the types include cool things like "Shade Runner", "Felarch", "Way Seeker", and "Fate Dealer".

A few weeks ago I came across a post where someone had taken photos of their Warhammer 40,000 Kill Teams squad that had little nameplates on the front. Turns out there's a place in the UK that 3D prints custom nameplates with your own text on them in a variety of styles and fonts so I ordered some for my Voidscarred and they arrived today!

They're very cleverly attached to the printing bases only at the very back of the plate, so I'm going to leave them as they are for ease of painting and only chop them off right at the end of the process once they're all done and ready to go onto the miniature bases.

A photo of a game of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team played on two regular boards. The terrain is a bunch of steampunk-looking walls and the boards have artwork on them that looks like the inside of an ancient rusty starship. At the bottom left are my miniatures, nine lithe space elves in fucshia armour and turquoise cloaks. At the top are fourteen just human troopers, and at the bottom left are fourteen essentially also human troopers but all corrupted and evil.

Three player Kill Team today!

...it did not go well for me and wasn't even close. We only got through two turns and I only scored one single victory point right at the end of the second turn. I killed stuff, but my initial positioning was poor and tried to do too much at once, especially since I had only nine miniatures compared to the fourteen of the other two teams. By the end of the second turn I was down to only three miniatures left, the friend in second was down to I think four, and the friend in first still had ten out of his fourteen starting.
