[@JasonM69]

KT seems like the perfect excuse to buy a bit of each faction.

[@krios7299]

Honestly it just seems like a good introduction to 40k in general and play 40k on a budget. Small box units to play in a small scale game for college kids on a tight budget. My friend and I are planning to buy a few boxes for kill team but we're looking for what to get. I want to run Necrons or Tempestus scions and he wants to run Gray knights

[@seanknot]

works for me i hate using too many vehicles. i entered the game when i was 8, at the end of second edition. just seeing an avatar or dreadnaught was a big deal. My first army was the OP Dark Eldar. i had 2500pts with 3 raiders. and much prefered 3rd edition rules etc. SO 10 corsairs. 8 harlequins 10/20 dark eldar units suits me :D

[@tennesseedogpack]

Just one troop box basically

[@darthkek1953]

Not just budget but time and space. Me & a work bro are going to Kill Team... No way we have time or space for a full model army each.

[@mateuszkrytyk5711]

​@@krios7299what is the point of kill team that you can play with only one box if you are going to buy few boxes

[@desmo2356]

Thank you for this! As someone who’s about to start playing Kill Team, this is exactly what I was wanting to see.

[@lg23c39]

You just explained so easily for a complete newbie, I knew nothing but now im hooked. Thank you friend!

[@TheBasCast]

Got all Fireteams for Craftworlds and Assault Intercessors Space Marines painted up and ready to go, but overall both Kill Teams got the short end of the stick this version. Currently i build a CSM Kill Team.

[@koelkast9]

I bet you're eating your words with the new intercessor rules

[@TheBasCast]

@@koelkast9 i sold the Marines 😄 but i am Happy with the legionarys

[@theanimaster]

After all the stuff I follow - no one’s laid out why the Grey Knights are an automatic choice - except here. Thank you for laying it out so simply without 40 minutes of rambling!

[@mw5753]

played As Reivers vs Grey Knights on the weekend. I thought I was going to get tabled- on paper Grey Knights look OP with their storm bolters and power weapons compared to a Fire Team like Reivers that have less options. Turns out Grav Chutes and Graples are actually really good at getting into range quickly for double shooting special issue ap 1 bolt pistols turn 2, though. Ended up tabling the Knights Turn 3 but only had one Reiver with 3hp left. Knights are Brutal but i feel like Reivers dont get enough love: their crazy mobility allowed me to overload one side of the board to achieve deafeat in detail.

[@mamneo2]

Incroyable.

[@Akota999]

This is a great video but that Starcraft comment was way out of line lol

[@TheBigDirty716]

Big into KT21 rn. Love me some Tyranids but have had fun with Kommandos and Assault Intercessors as well. Also have a huge backlog of strictly KT models. A buddy of mine plays Grey Knights and I can confirm they are great. Great video!

[@RivianTramp]

I like how Jay lets his eyebrows do the talking.

[@hansiboo657]

At 2:27 such famous, simple, blatant but juicy bait. I love it.

[@theradddragon9362]

good to note for adeptus mechanicus is that they have a White Dwarf version of the killteam too so they have a huge power boost with that magazine with more flexibility!

[@tennesseedogpack]

They are so much better! I first saw them in the 2022 compendium

[@danwagner4306]

Good stuff. Great to know, appreciate the content. Glad to see those transitions are back on point.

[@miniwarmonger788]

these guys are great and became instantly a favorite hobby channel of mine. Good vibes.

[@arplytag90]

I have been loving kill team! I’m glad that it is getting a lot coverage. Keep it coming!

[@dinglefangus2612]

I was super happy when they dropped the new kill team. I had gotten a grey knight squad just to build and paint for my shelf and now they’ve actually gotten to see table time and they slap pretty hard

[@Therealmanticorejones]

For the record: StarCraft is actually the result of Games Workshop hiring blizzard to make an RTS game and then blizzard decided that they could make a lot more money by hijacking the IP and going solo. Fast forward to now and blizzard literally owes their beginning to games workshop.

[@shadowofhawk55]

Wasn't Gameworkshop pulled out half way through?

[@anniebae7049]

@@shadowofhawk55 this is the accurate telling of the story, both Warcraft and Starcraft were meant to be games workshop products, but then GW pulled out because some of their other forrays into games was doing poorly so blizz took what they had and finished the games.

[@craigjones7343]

@@anniebae7049 can you imagine if they stayed in the partnership. We would all be playing World of Warhammer right now.

[@ashdanny2730]

And then didn’t cause let’s be honest that game could’ve topped Star craft and dawn of war combined with the combination of an original IP and a great game system

[@hotdog4260]

I knew the top comment would be someone biting the obvious bait. I paused as soon as Jay said it and scrolled down and voila!

[@Shiftingdead]

Love your personality, you had me smiling throughout the video. Thank you for making content!

[@alanihms1272]

We just bought the core rules for KT21 yesterday, I am excited at the prospect and thinking I might have to go Veteran Guard. But I think the neat thing about Kill team is you get to dip your toes in other armies that you wouldn't consider going all out for. Thousand Sons interests me immensely. Awesome video looking forwards to part 2!

[@squallgoku777]

Thank you, I had completely overlooked that my Death Guard Champion is in addition to my plague marines, instead of replacing one of them.

[@baitbait65]

Great video. I can't wait for the Kill Team battle reports.

[@Undethknight]

Heard about this cool Kill Team event coming up in February called Kill Team Open. Looks like it'll be in Baltimore. Everyone's talking about it.

[@tjleary]

the video was amazingly useful brother, great job!

[@bios1172]

i can't wait for the next video, good explanations and makes me a lot of interesst to choose other kill teams

[@daveb3589]

I love this edition of kill team i already have 5 kill teams in the models I already have and I've got 3 more coming for Xmas. The single box kill teams make great Xmas presents

[@johnhammond6225]

Thank you for this. As someone new to the hobby this list was amazing

[@frizzank]

10:49 is the best joke in the video.

[@Marshallo.o]

Random comment. I watch most youtube videos at 1.5 speed. Yours however, is one of the exceptions, where i watch it at normal speed:)

[@tempusavatar]

Thanks for the video. I had a conundrum where I wanted to play Legion of the Damned marines, but I'm also interested in the chapter rules that will eventually be released. Then I realized that won't be a problem with Grey Knights, so next year's project is going to be a Grey Knights team modeled to be Legion of the Damned.

[@DocXGAMC]

Just found you on YT and you are AWESOME!!! Great info with fun dialogue on your videos. Just got into KT with my son and these kinds of videos are what we need. Going to add you on Patreon and start diving into your backlog of videos.

[@bauguilhugo9037]

This game is about to become for me the most played game or 2021 among 90+ other games haha I love so much those Octarius Kommandos, we just started a narrative campaign In Paris, loving It I hope the january WD issue will have a custom Black Templar

[@dubbjb]

Excellent stuff! New addition KT rocks. My favorite GW game to date. Blows doors on 9th.

[@SuperDuperHappyTime]

Jay is the new Uncle Atom

[@tmarti24]

This was super helpful! And gives me a reason to paint up some Admech!

[@dwarrenmsp]

Great (and very funny) video! I was going to play KT'21 but then decided to go with Infinity and Deadzone. Still though, with the fact that so many people seem to have less time to play games, having so many great low model count skirmish games it so wonderful and a great way to get into the hobby and play more games! And who am I kidding, at some point I'll get a box of Tau Pathfinders or Stealth Suits.

[@Vvcurv]

The Best video about KT I have watch on yt. Thanks for so much informations ❤️

[@bassistcz]

I was holding of on KillTeam 2021, but the more I see on EoB, the more tempted I am, might pick up the Octarius box as it's still seems to be available, but the rule book and compendium might be enough for me. Great video!

[@mitchellfowler7300]

The compendium is very useful especially online 👀

[@Doodlebob563]

I know this will probably ruffle some feathers but damn, Grey Knights need that sweet sweet Primaris upgrade.

[@yggy2498]

Thank you for this. I am new to the hobby and I didn't know kill team has this much option. I think money wise and time wise kill team is the game mode for me.

[@santonopoulou]

Wish I found your channel earlier. Really love your personality. Very mellow for Warhammer content and that's a breath of fresh air. You're just being yourself, and those are my favourite types of hobby channels. Great content! Thanks for this video!

[@Grimpo96]

Currently building an Alpha Legion KT. Using the Forgeworld upgrade kit on Mark III armor kit. I needed to order both as I’m still pretty new to Warhammer. Asked some friends if they knew where I could get a mission launcher as it didn’t come in the Mark III box, but they just responded with “Don’t play Kill team, just turn those little guys in to Chosen.” XD

[@captainweekend5276]

I finally got round to playing some kill team 21 last saturday, I wasn't a big fan of the old kill team but was pleasantly surprised at how much more enjoyable 21 is in comparison. I did compendium pathfinders vs my friend's tactical marines, it did feel a bit one sided with the tacs having the same amount as models but with better shooting, melee, saves, more actions, and more wounds, but also admittedly I didn't make the best decisions as it was my first game. Also it didn't help that compendium pathfinders don't have as much (or as good) tactical ploy support whilst the marine ones seemed very good with a lot of variety. Still, the recon drone was actually pretty cool and useful, and I wish I had managed to keep the rail rifle alive another turn as that could have helped a lot. I'm quite excited to try out sisters of battle and grey knights since I have all I need from them being my main two armies in 40k, I also 3D printed an ork boy kill team made from black crag miniatures' "space mutants" since they look really cool and I have a hankering to play orks since my 40k ork army is going to take a while before it's table ready.

[@EonsOfBattle]

it sounds like you played only one fire team of path finders? hunter cadre kill teams can take two fire teams whereas space marines can only take one.

[@captainweekend5276]

@@EonsOfBattle Wait really? Damn, that's good to know for next time. Admittedly it was both our first game so we didn't have a great grasp on the list building rules, we were basically going off of a mentality of as long as battlescribe doesn't flag it, it's fine so I just assumed everyone only got a single fire team. Also we were doing open play so I'm not sure if that would have affected things.

@@captainweekend5276 Yes, you can take Fire Warriors, more Pathfinders, or Stealth Suits alongside them!

Hello j. Silly question. What strip lights do you have on the wall behind you when you make your videos. I love the blending action.

[@Brahlam]

Cool Guide! Started with Octarius pack to learn the game and have a starter area. What would you recommend buying for cool terrain? Maybe also offbrand... ^^ I think I will add the Siters of Battle, they are really cool, and of course Plague Marines! :D But there are so many interesting choices, without needing to buy and paint 100 of models if you switch armies. ^^

[@ThatBlooddrunk]

Nice video, i'm also very invested into Killteam atm :D imo the only reason to play usual Guardsmen is Sions tho. If you don't pick artillery with the veteran guardsman, you are 14 bodies as well, with specializations giving you more skill flavor (most importantly the medic), while still having access to 4 gunners.

[@JMcMillen]

I'd say that if you are picking the veteran guardman you should always be prepared to play with the extra 4 gunners. Because I can imagine certain scenarios taking place in places where artillery wouldn't be possible (underground, enclosed structures, etc...).

[@Deus888]

10:03 you can dash and shoot with a heavy weapon in the same turning point. It's not as good as move, but it's something.

Great video! Been trying to plan out how to maximise my kill team variety. One thing though, you can still dash and shoot a heavy weapon. So you've essentially got half movement rather than full.

[@stashmurphy5488]

When discussing ultramarines, you mention buying a box of Deathwatch (and) a box of Intercessors to “fill fifteen slots”, but then then say to buy a box of deathwatch (or) assault intercessors. So is it buy one box of each or one box of either? Just want to use my Intercessors to the best of their ability.

What would you suggest buying for someone who just wants to paint and not play? Thinking - Vallejo paint set Brushes Wet pallette Glue etc. Not sure what figures are fun for newbies

[@equalmonkey4821]

Thank you for this video it is very helpful for getting into the hobby. One question: would it be okay to use the Grey knight paladins box as a kill team? I know the rules are meant for the strike squad but I just like the look of the paladins better.

[@phil245]

If you're playing at home against mates it's usually fine to run a model as something else, especially as in this case you'll be using a better model in it's place. A lot of stores like playing what you see is what you get, so it's probably less of an option there. I'd consider cost as well - you get half the models for the palladins box

[@rosfell00]

"Because you watch way too much TTS" Welp now I can't hide the fact that I plan to make a custodes killteam just to make a Captain Kitten...

[@Kerath]

I had no idea it's so cheap to get into Kill Team with a good squad. A Competitive team for Warcry costs at least 2-3 times more than that.

[@DarrinSK]

you will spend more on the rulebooks cards and tokens than your actual kill team.

[@Kerath]

@@DarrinSK I've already printed all these for free. There are multiple MEGA links with all the scans out there.

[@unblessedcoffee1457]

I think you made a mistake with Mechanicus, their kill team is 11 men because they need a leader, which is an additional unit, not a replacement. So really the best buy is 1 box rangers and 1 rust stalkers, because without rust stalkers, you need 2 boxes of 10 rangers to make the 11 man team. The rust stalker prince's is a replacement and u get 5 models in the box for a 4 man team.

[@MGC-XIII]

I have a 40k Army of Necrons and I honestly feel it's overwhelming to paint them up. Been thinking about trading them for bits to make kill teams with, just not sure if I should.

[@MrBadmonkeycw]

The troll comment about space marines and StarCraft allllllmost triggered me. Almost! My biggest problem with KT is that they limit what gear you can carry in. Best example I can give is the chaos marines being limited to heavy bolters etc. Not having access to their faction specific heavy weapons. I wonder if Black Templars are going to get separate love. Having a KT with a mix of initiates and neophytes might be interesting.

[@LumberJAN]

Hm... Space Marines were featured in second edition of Warhammer 40k in 1993 and StarCraft was released in 1998. I am pretty sure that Blizzard ripped off Games Workshop - not the other way around :)

[@lesblackwell5026]

Blizzard's innovation was to make a new chapter; the White Trash marines.
