A photo taken from the side of the board of a game of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. The terrain is all ruined industrial-slash-gothic buildings, on the left are my Death Guard which are hulking super-humans in a somewhat sickly-green power armour and lots of tentacles and pustules and general grossness, and on the right are the Adeptus Mechanicus who believe in the purity of the machine and replacing as much as possible of their biological components with machine parts and such mostly look like robots with cool cloaks on.

(The AdMech were actually custom 3D-printed models that combined the Adeptus Mechanicus with the Skaven rat-men from the Warhammer fantasy universe, and were really very well done.)

First night of a planned fortnightly #KillTeam gaming session at @[email protected]'s tonight! There were four of us, one hadn't played before so I played the introductory game with him, sans Tac Ops and equipment. He was playing the Adeptus Mechanicus Hunter Clade, versus my revolting Death Guard. We got part-way through the final turn but called it because I was up 7-4 and he wasn't going to be able to come back from that. He really enjoyed it though, and I'm keen to start playing more regularly so I can actually properly remember the rules (and also learn how my Corsair Voidscarred play, because the miniatures are SO GOOD but I don't feel like I have a good handle on them yet).

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 photo of a game of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. It's on a gaming board with a bunch of junkyard-looking terrain, and on my side of the board are six green Death Guard Space Marines looking all gross and mutated.

In news that will shock nobody, the only reason I was in the office today was for after-work Kill Team. 😛 Sadly didn't win this time, it was obvious how it was going to turn out by the end of the third round so we called it.

A photo of a Warhammer 40,000 game board, with painted miniatures and shamefully unpainted terrain that looks like a junkyard on it. (...the terrain itself looks like a junkyard, the fact that it's shamefully unpainted is unrelated to this.)

Tonight's game of Kill Team went very differently from the first one a few weeks ago! I ended up absolutely thrashing the friend I was playing against, 8 victory points to 3, and we didn't end up playing the fourth turn because he was down to one single unit at the end of the third. Though he kindly pointed out after the game that my deployment was very bad and he held back a bit from just totally destroying my troops on the first turn so it wouldn't be a lopsided game. 😅

We actually finished the game! 😮 I lost, partially because we weren't playing with the extra bits to allow for more victory points to simplify things, but also because there was so much to keep track of I kept forgetting about various abilities. Still, keen for the next game!

A photo of a Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team board with home-made desert and ramshackle junkyard-style terrain on it.

A photo of nine six-sided dice, three of them are sixes, two are fives, and there's two twos and two threes.

We played another (partial) game of Kill Team tonight! And for the first time EVER, everything was fully painted. 😮 We only got a turn and a half in thanks to us taking a while to set everything up, but we're definitely getting the hang of it. I was playing Death Guard, and they have a rule called "Disgustingly Resilient" where if they would lose a wound, you roll a D6 and on a roll of 5+ the wound is not lost. It doesn't matter how many wounds, just ANY wound. One of them was attacked and was going to be dealt 9 wounds (out of a total of 12), but my Disguisingly Resilient roll was amazing and I was able to reduce it down to 4. 😂

A photo of three heavily armoured warriors in full green armour. They're all grotesque, the left is holding an axe and a mace and has a grinning and fleshy demon face on his right shoulder pad, and he has a long purple tongue and fly eyes. The middle has a screaming daemon face on his knee pad and three tentacles bursting out from his left side. The last has a huge mouth in his abdomen with a long purple tongue coming out of it, and some sort of tentacle coming out from the left eye of his helmet.

Finished the last three members of my Death Guard squad for Kill Team! I'm really happy with how these came out, I tried some new techniques (much less dry brushing and more building up in thin layers, particularly in the daemon faces in the armour), and I used my airbrush to varnish them rather than having to wait for the weather to cooperate to use the spray can.

A photo of a Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team board with terrain on it that's all ramshackle and looks like it's part of a junk yard, which has been undercoated in black but has shamefully had nothing else done to it.

We FINALLY got a game of the new Kill Team in! We played without tac-ops or equipment just to streamline things a bit, and only got two out of the four turns done, but it was really good, can't wait to play more.

A photo of a Warhammer 40,000 Plague Marine, he has pock-marked heavy armour and spikes all over. He's in mid-stride and is holding a very large flamethrower-looking thing. His head, backpack, and both arms are unpainted bare plastic and are the new parts I added.

Another Warhammer 40,000 Plague Marine, this one has a tentacle for a left arm and is holding a meltagun. The gun and his right forearm are bare plastic and are the new parts I added.

And done, that's now one of every available operative type and weapon! Really happy with how the plague spewer guy came out. The guy with the meltagun was tricky as well because I had to hack the bolter he was carrying carefully around the tentacle so I could re-use it for the gun.

A photo of five miniatures (2 Tau, 2 Death Guard, 1 Space Marine Reiver) with an undercoat colour of white or black, with their weapons clearly newly-added because they're fully unpainted raw grey plastic. The miniature in the middle isn't fully assembled and is missing his head and both arms.

With the new edition of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team coming out and all the changes to squad composition (generally speaking you can only have a single type of special weapon in each squad), I'm doing some converting of my as-yet-unpainted miniatures! Most of them I could just break the glue apart on the arm joints, but for the guy in the middle, his arms were one single piece connected to half the torso, so I had to hack through the whole arm at the shoulder.
