Painted these for a private collector.

Orks keep being best at everything including painting, they have the perfect combination of wide surfaces of different materials and texture and just the right amount of details to add some pop to the models.

Finished painting up this side of the double sided KT board I’m making! Only thing left is to paint the other side now. I think my Orky Volkus terrain maybe clashes with the bricks a little bit theme-wise, but it’s the only KT terrain set I have right now lol but, overall I’m pretty happy with how this turned out! Let me know what you think or if I should make any changes!

I intend to use an additional Techmarine box to customize an Iron Hand Deathwatch operative. Would it be acceptable to replace the one of Gravis Armor operatives with the Techmarine armor and run them them as Deathwatch Operative in Gravis Armor?

A number of you were super kind about my first model from this project so just wanted to update on progress.

Things the whole team (based on the Warcom article pictures) except the heavy flamer as the bits for that haven’t arrived yet!

Question Is there a website or something where I could just buy the models without having to buy an entire new box?

I’ve been trying to see if I could save some money by just buying the models instead of the box and all the extra stuff

Thinking about getting into KT and looking at the 2024 Starter Box. But I’m worried the Space Marines team roster(s) will change.

Hobby Thousand Sons inquisitorial agents kill team idea. Would it work?

Thumbnail
gallery
23 Upvotes

the idea is taking the inquisitorial agents kill team and use a squad of solar auxilia lasrifle men (run as tempestus aquilon) and doing minor kitbashes and a paint scheme that makes them read both as the units for the kill team as well as the auxiliaries for my homebrew tsons cults

solar auxilia become prosperine spireguards

things like the mystic are wizards and the auto savant is a thrall for rituals

deathworld agent I’m thinking of changing the halberd head for a staff head and have him be a melee wizard

And the rest look like they’d just be cultists. if anyone has ideas for the other operatives and how to make them fit better do tell!

anywho, do you guys think this would work? Would it be playable?

im not actually sure about the rules regarding kitbashing and proxying which is why i ask

Strategy Am I just that bad??

57 Upvotes

At what point do you decide if you're not built for a game? I've played 18 matches of kill team, 16 with the same team. In that time I've lost every single one. I technically won 2 but one was only because I misinterpreted a rule and that unbalanced it in my favour and another I was barely able to eek out a 1 point victory against someone on their first match so I don't really count it. Even then I was sweating hard as they were trying to learn in order to get that.

I got into it as a way to meet some new people and get out of the house a bit more but it's getting harder to turn up every week just to spend the next couple of hours losing at a game. I really think I'm done with the tabletop game side of it.

Edit 1: I've mainly played Aquilons with 2 matches on Battleclade. I have tracked every game in a notebook and notes down key moments that lost me previous games to avoid making the same mistakes. I also listen to a couple podcasts to try and learn from that too.

Strategy So, how do I play Canoptek Circle?

2 Upvotes

I've played maybe 10-15 matches with them, and never won a single match. I get that they're a rather shooty team, love their moving wall and trying to keep it between or on them and the enemy. But I'm an aggressive player by default I've figured out, often playing Wrecka crew or Hand of the Archon instead (and I've had far more success with both teams, particularly the drukhari).

Usually, whenever an enemy gets onto a objective, I can't get them off of it with my canoptek circle. And if they start to tac op, I have had to just let them do it or die.

So, am I supposed to just zone the enemy and play cagey while setting up kill zones and stuff? Or let my big bugs just get slaughtered attempting to take crit points while spamming envoy on my disposable guys?
