Building a Kill Team #3 - Hans and Ikoor

Hans and Ikoor are 2 battle brothers who made a special backpack. I missed the step by step photos and only have the late stage.

Hans is the plasmagun bearer, and therefore is a key element in my kill team when it comes to Grey Knights.

the main body, using a Space Wolf version of the plasma gun

Because Hans has to shoot right, he has targeting system included on his helmet

Hans has a shield plugged on his back for better protection

Ikoor is a fighter of many battle and earned his commando marks by holding a mass of genestealer on Hordon II and surviving it.

Ikoor is a standard trooper, with a personalised bolter.

His backpack is made of space wolf shield and a heavy weapon backbpack (before lining the shield and some wash)

Building a Kill Team #2

2nd key space marine, Pimpy the Gunner.

Pimpy is a veteran of many battles and lost a leg. But it did not stop him from keeping up the fight.

First build. I added a metal leg.

Adding the heavy bolter

Added a protection on the right arm, adding armor skirts for extra protection

Looking for serious business

Building a Kill Team

After playing few games of Kill Team made me realised that my warriors were too clean. The current space marines I have are more part of a battlefield company rather than a behind a line group of elite commandos.

Based on that, during a business trip to UK, I visited a Warhammer shop in Reading (really nice place!). There, I bought 2 boxes: Heavy Weapon and Tactical, plus 2 space wolves add-ons to put on the SMs.

Working on them while playing with other friends online. This is a very difficult part as you have to find the bit, glue it quickly and start shooting.

I worked on a first batch of 11 and another of 5. I was able to do 16 space marines with the 2 boxes and the bits I had here and there.

First member to be worked on was Beowulf.

I decided to go for the same way I did my space marines, with a grey neutral armor highlighted with a dark line to show the details, german grey weapon dry brushed with neutral gray, old gold an

Glueing the body and the head. I love the beaky guys

I added a fur, cut the legs to differentiate with Vlad's fur

First highlight after the first paint. I did not glue the arms yet to have access to the whole body.

Glued the arms, shoulder pad and backpack. I added some battle damage on the right shoulder pad.

Bringing a knife and a gun to a gun fight. First layers done

fully finished version, base is still not the final one (I will use a transparent base)

Focus on the back

final after matt vernish spray. Better version once I finish them all

August update - Battle Systems in Kill Team

Few pictures of scenario played using battlesystems terrain.

Scenario 1: (can't remember what it was). It saw the GK finishing quickly a Chaos force

The stage is set, a forgotten colonist station

Chaos vs. GK

GK are getting ready to finish that Chaos patrol once and for all

Chaos will not die without a fight

Scenario 2: Chaos vs SM. Assassination. Target: the SM sergeant (once more). SM victory

Facing off each others

For the Horny Chaos God... hum. the one with the axe, not the dildo

The Chaos could not outrun the sergeant. The sniper was MVP with instant kills on overwatch shots

Scenario 3: Gather information. GK vs SM, GK victory after slaughtering the SM

This station has many computers, one contain vital information on a powerful magic drug call Pen'i'cil'in

Chug, when your Pet goes Boom

Left GK, right SM. I (playing the SM) forgot that my sergeant was an extremely good melee fighter

This game saw a larger army on both side.

scenario 4: scenario when you need to cross the table and kill people. GK vs SM. victory of the GK

Space Station Umbrella

something went wrong. The experiment that killed them all

the Lab were it all started. Need to roll a save within 1 inch of the purple blobs

That SM will survive 2 rounds of Melee with a GK, with only a knife

That sergeant tried to charge the GK and made an impressive 2 inch. We need to stop Beer and Bretzel afternoon

scenario 5: Assassination. The SMs are again targeted because of a joke on the GK.

Guess what? The SM is again targeted by the GK for assassination

Hiding is the way of life

final confrontation. The GK kills the sergeant, with again, his mental power...
