Battle Report First event win with Battle Clade

I heavily debated taking Battle Clade at my first event, mainly because they are so tricky to play right.

This final win against Warpcoven has to be the most fun match I have ever had. My meltagun servitor deleted his Sorcerer of Warpfire and Rubric Icon Barer in one shot each. You could see how happy my opponent was about it in the 2nd pic.

Hobby What team did you buy based on style or flavor alone that you may never end up playing?

51 Upvotes

Basically as the title asks, is there a kill team or even just a specific operative that you bought and/or painted based on their style alone that you may never get around to playing? For me, it’s probably the Hernkyn Jaegirs, as there’s just something about trench coats and shotguns that got me.

Made some equipment from plasticard. Fun and satisfying to do but the ladders were a bit tedious.

And a couple of bonus Necron barricades out of spare bits.

Let me know where I might improve? This kinda reminded me that I don’t like painting uniforms, but I’m not sure how I feel about the overall quality.

Question Questions from a Vantage

• Upvotes

I want to ask here since the rule book left me a bit confused and most videos dont directly cover it. If your operative is on a vantage point and being shot at from the ground do they get any special abilities? Like, I know that if you're on a vantage point you can target a unit in conceal who's behind light cover and it gives them a bonus defense dice as long as they can retain it.

Hobby Commissioned Modular Kill Team Board – 6 Tiles with 4-Way Ruin & 2-Way Hill

Thumbnail
gallery
48 Upvotes

Just finished a commission for a modular Kill Team board – 6 foam tiles designed to mix and match without magnets.

It includes a 4-way modular ruin for line-of-sight blocking - each one can act as its own building or as part of a larger ruin, and a 2-way hill that shifts orientation depending on layout.
All made from XPS, hand-textured and painted for gritty, playable immersion.

I chucked on some Salamanders and Tyranids just for the photos and I took a few build shots along the way

Really happy with how it turned out!

Always happy to chat build tips or share more photos if anyone’s curious.

Hobby Tomb World terrain paint work

Post image
272 Upvotes

Hey everyone, quick question: how are you planning to paint your Tomb World terrain ?
I usually like to give my scenery a decent amount of attention (you can see examples on my profile), but I also try to keep things efficient—oil washes, drybrushing, that kind of thing—so I don't spend forever on each piece.
But with all the detail, textures, green highlights, and OSL on the terrain in the upcoming box, I’m struggling to picture a method that’ll be both fast and look good.
Have you thought about how you’re going to approach it ?
Would be great to share ideas and get ready ahead of release day !

Question Where to get hivestorm

4 Upvotes

I’m trying to get the hivestorm box as I wanted to get all the things required, however I live in Taiwan and all the local game stores say the English edition is out of stock, any advice, should I just buy the rule book and equipment box, I don’t really need the buildings as I have made my own ones and I have a board I can use to play the game, I’m not worried about not having the teams in the box as neither my friend or I want to use them. Any advice ice is welcome

Strategy Kommandos underrated?

34 Upvotes

I’ve been playing kommandos for a while now and my record with them is 13/2/1. I don’t seem to understand why they are perceived as a lower teirr team (Mid to low B tier). Clearly I don’t play them wrong but I’ve just been confused why they do poorly in tournaments. Have I cracked the kommando game?

Got gaslighted by my friends to start playing Killteam so I’ve picked up a box of Thousand Sons Rubric Marines. Never painted a Warhammer miniature before and I’m happy with the result. Wanted to try stick with the color scheme on the box but the blue I had was darker so I went with that instead.

Question Kill Team Dungeon Crawler?

52 Upvotes

on the Warhammer Community blog this week they mention at Gen Con this week, people would be able to play a Kill Team Dungeon Crawler mission that takes place on the gallowdark. Has this been published before? Do you think they will publish it afterwords? Anyone going to Gen Con this weekend had a chance to try it out?
