Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Kill Team: Legionaries

Product Information

When Khorne marked models fight, they can strike with one normal hit as if it is a critical hit. This is important wording as it doesn’t retain a normal hit as a critical hit, as with some special rules, and it means you treat a normal hit as if it is a critical hit for the purposes of parrying. I can see people getting confused by the wording and interpreting it differently.

Your bog standard Chaos Marine who comes with either a Boltgun or Chainsword and Bolt Pistol. These guys come with no special rules outside of their Chaos Blessing. If you do take them it is because you are looking to increase shooting efficiency as the Legionnaires team has no shortage of melee specialists that easily eclipse this operative’s melee profile. That’s more than enough terrain to put together a shattered Imperial settlement, with vantage points, sight lines, and cover to dash between. And you know what? Several of these sets can make you a whole city… Kill Team Voidscarred Dice Set I don’t want to be proscriptive or give you a list here. In a Competitive Roster you have enough slots to literally do every combination given it’s only a six model team. The Champion is the more utilitarian option to the powerhouse that is the Chosen. This isn’t to say the Champion isn’t a very capable operative as he comes with the usual suite of sergeant weapons along with a Tainted Chainsword that allows him to parry Critical Hits with Normal Hits, on top of this he is a slightly better marksman hitting/wound on a +2 with his pistol options. This operative’s main draw is the In the Eyes of the Gods ability, which allows him to perform a single Free Action after it incapacitates an enemy setting up for incredibly powerful 4 action activations. Reapers get 6 dice and ceaseless, so you reroll 1s, and are likely to come out with about 5 hits. Heavy bolters have 5 dice and P1, so you’re reasonably likely to get a crit and strip a defence dice off them.As you can see, you’ll get the most out of these Strategic Ploys by devoting your kill team fully to one Chaos God – or you can mix and match your Marks for greater flexibility. Unfortunately, not all of the Ruinous Powers play well together – if you have any KHORNE operatives, you can’t include fighters pledged to SLAANESH . Similarly, taking operatives marked by TZEENTCH means that NURGLE is off the table.

Malicious Volleys and Hateful Assault – These are your standard Marine ploys that allow them to Shoot twice if they don’t Fight and vice versa. The usefulness of these two ploys coupled with how CP hungry this team is rewards players for taking either an Undivided Leader or Icon-Bearer. Legionnaires come with an interesting set of equipment with half their options being limited to one per team, and another four being one per team simply due to their usage requirements.You can’t very well conduct clandestine missions without a suitable killzone to squabble over (and hide you from enemy fire). Killzone Chalnath has got you covered – it contains five substantial ruined walls, two chunky ruined buildings, and a double-sided game board. Inspect your Legionary models for any imperfections and smooth out rough edges or mold lines using fine-grit sandpaper or a hobby knife. Clean the models with warm, soapy water to remove any residue or oils. This box contains enough parts to build a full, varied kill team of Sisters Novitiate replete with specialists, heavy weapons, and a gigantic bad-guy-cleaving eviscerator chainsword. You can also build them as a more standard squad for use in games of Warhammer 40,000 , armed with autoguns or deadly blades – as the God-Emperor intended. Kill Team: T’au Pathfinders

This all-but ensures at least one critical hit, doing a chunky 8 damage, enough to crush those pesky Corsairs in one swing. The axe also carries the Reap 2 ability, so those critical hits will inflict 2 mortal wounds on anything foolish enough to be standing nearby. Now it’s time to focus on the unique details of your Legionaries. Use different colors to bring out specific elements. For example, paint the red cape’s by using Mephiston Red. Apply thin layers to gradually build up the color and ensure smooth coverage. Similarly, use a vibrant green shade like Moot Green to highlight the magical details.Take your time and use a smaller brush for precision. Delicious Agony – If you are fighting an injured operative, in your first Resolve Hits step you can resolve two hits. This is much more niche, and useful when fighting marines or other high wound models (as lets face it, Guardsman don’t get injured, they get dead). Anything on 8 wounds or less you are probably taking out in the first strike if it is injured, and this ploy doesn’t trigger if a model isn’t. It’s flavourful, but limited utility unless you’re facing opponents with 10+ wounds that you’ve already softened up a lot. Tzeentch PloysFree actions can only be performed when another rule specifies. Each time an operative would perform a free action, the following rules apply. The Legionaries Kill Team has been very popular since its release, and a regular fixture in top event placings. They’re a versatile team with lots of options which can play well in a variety of formats. Strengths Rubric Marines are often overshadowed in Warpcoven kill teams by other operatives – powerful Sorcerers and more expendable Tzaangors . We’ve re-adjusted how their APL characteristic works – previously they had 2 APL, and a nearby Sorcerer could give them one extra. Now your Rubrics have 3 APL to start with, but subtract one if a Sorcerer isn’t nearby when they’re activated. Dark Desecration – Kind of like the Legionary version of Seize Ground, on the first TP you select a terrain feature with the Heavy trait, and then you must incapacitate two enemy operatives within ▲ of it to score 1 VP. The second VP is scored if you have more APL within ▲ of it than your opponent at the end of the battle. This is a rather difficult Tac Op simply because once you declare it your opponent has ample opportunity to avoid it. Basically, this is a Tac Op you’d generally avoid unless the board has VERY favorable terrain for it, such as multiple objective markers boarding a key piece of terrain. Lastly, this Tac Op may not be used in Close Quarters maps reducing your options further.

Together this makes the Balefire Acolyte a must take, and go great in a melee focused or mixed melee/shooting team, able to contribute to long range firepower and do stuff up close and personal. Legionary ShrivetalonIn both of these lists you can notice a trend that Gunners don’t need to have either Blessings of Slaanesh or Khorne as they’re more concerned with staying alive or remaining mobile while providing reliable fire support. Frag [2 EP] and Krak Grenade [3 EP] – Not much to say here. Almost everyone has access to them, and there is a reason they got limited to one per team each. B+ This multipart plastic kit allows you to build 10 Chaos Space Marine Legionaries, corrupt veterans from the Traitor Legions. These miniatures can be used as Legionary operatives in games of Kill Team, or fielded in games of Warhammer 40,000 as Troops choice for Chaos Space Marine armies. This vicious warband contains one Aspiring Champion and nine Legionaries, each of which can be equipped with a variety of weapons, heads, and accessories, or assembled as specialists for your Kill Team – including the Balefire Acolyte, Shrivetalon, Butcher, and more. Speed is nothing without power, but She Who Thirsts can help you there too! Turn your operatives into graceful killers with the appropriately titled Strategic Ploy, Graceful Killer.
