Explaining Every Single Kill Team Faction

[@MekBoooooi]

Epic breakdown man, it'll definitely help new players.

[@NightfireGamingYT]

Thanks man, it’s hard to get your head wrapped around all the options so I’m hoping this helps someone out

[@BigFrenchNose]

Shame you put this video together mere days before the free intercession kill team!

[@NightfireGamingYT]

I just knew they were going to do something like that soon as this video went live lol.

[@laurentderrien]

exactly what i was looking for, thanks man, i think you nailed the proper angle for all those kill team introduction videos

[@NightfireGamingYT]

Thanks! This was super heavily influenced by BrickyOrchid8's video on every 40k faction. I know that's what got me really into Warhammer in general so I was hoping giving that series the Kill Team treatment would help people get into this side of the hobby.

[@laurentderrien]

@@NightfireGamingYT I'll stay around, I like how GW is actively supporting this game. Subbed !

A really good video :) going to share it with my friends who might be interested in playing

Thank you! Hopefully you can get them into the game 👍

[@Mak7397]

I'm confused. So some teams like Imperial Guard can only have one type of models (either Imperial Guard or Tempestus scion), but other teams like Talons of Emperor can mix Sisters of Silence AND Adeptus Custodes?

[@NightfireGamingYT]

So there are two systems of how you build a team. The first is the one in the compendium (older teams) that’s the “fire team” system. Each kill team is made up of fire teams and they’ll be different model types (custode and sisters). There is one team that lets you run scion and imperial guard. The other is the “bespoke” method which are the newer teams which are basically one style of model. This would be the Veteran Guard team that lets you run imperial guard but no scion, BUT you get a lot of specialist like a medic. If you want to look at the rules for each team in more detail. Go to the website Wahapedia and look at Kill Team 2nd edition. They’ll have each team listed and you can read through the exact rules.

[@NightfireGamingYT]

I hope that helped, it’s not a bad system to understand once you are used to it. But at first glance there’s a lot going on

[@Mak7397]

@@NightfireGamingYT it did help! thank you. I'm just trying to get into 40k table top gaming, so your video was helpful.

[@NightfireGamingYT]

@@Mak7397 I'm glad to hear it! It's a really fun hobby. There's a lot to learn getting into it (rules, where to play, painting, lore) but it's well worth it.

[@thelukester8874]

Great video. Just getting into kill team. Looking forward to the rest.

[@NightfireGamingYT]

Thank you! It will probably be about a week and a half until the next one

Coming soon! I about have the script finished for it.

[@kennethv5250]

as many books as ive read i have NEVER heard of phobos marines

[@NightfireGamingYT]

I tried to look up what books they appeared in and couldn’t find it… I just know them from the game. Even on the wiki the only “sources” are the 8th edition codexs.

[@sophiethesloth]

New to kill team looking for advice on faction on budget and fun

[@NightfireGamingYT]

Luckily most of the teams are going to be in the $55-60 range now. Any specific faction catching your eye?

[@sophiethesloth]

@@NightfireGamingYT gellerpox ,death guard

[@NightfireGamingYT]

@@sophiethesloth The Death Guard still have their original rules and have never gotten an update. At least not yet. So they are fun but may get a newer version at some point. It's hard to say. I'm a huge fan of the Gellerpox Infected, it's an awesome team with some great miniatures. It's going to be somewhere between $10-$20 more expensive than most teams. But you do get quite a few more minis. I think it's 23 in one box.

[@Mr_Spaghetti]

Little tip: If you’re assuming the viewer is completely new to 40k, also assume they don’t know what Wound Counts are

[@NightfireGamingYT]

Good point, they might not know that’s the 40k version of HP

[@Mr_Spaghetti]

@@NightfireGamingYT i’m semi-new and it’s tough to find entry resources. A lot of people do a good job explaining the setting, but gloss over terms unique to the game rules that people like myself are unfamiliar with. otherwise a great vid tho!

[@CordovanSplotchVT]

"The laughter of thirsty gods." I mean... It's not inaccurate.

[@NightfireGamingYT]

Someone else pointed that out too lol. At least we know Slaanesh is.

[@CMTechnica]

Pretty sure you glossed over the fact the imperial guard kill teams can call in reinforcements. That’s a total of 14 bodies on the board instead of 10. Sure, bog standard troopers, but 4 more bodies is nothing to scoff at

[@NightfireGamingYT]

Thanks for pointing that out 👍 That would have been worth diving into for sure

[@ChaseTheChamp11]

This title is a lie...unless this is like part 1 or something.

[@NightfireGamingYT]

It is indeed part 1. Choas, Eldar, and non-eldar Xeno each have their own video and are already out 👍

[@Lazrael32]

i genuinely appreciate you making this and dumbing it down. it helps as i dip my toes into 40k. thanks again!

[@NightfireGamingYT]

I’m glad you’re finding it helpful! I’m going to start the Xeno one soon

[@comadrone_xix]

as a veteran player I thought your video was super dope, perfect intro for new people. Hell it helped me out with a few things bc I actually had zero knowledge of the Emperors Golden Boys the Custodians, I mean Adeptus Custodes. LoL

[@NightfireGamingYT]

Glad you liked it! 40k just has so much lore to it that it's hard to find a good jumping in point for newer players. I know people constantly reference Space Marine chapters I've never heard of when I listen to lore channels.

[@KelstenGamingUK]

Start of the vid: Just getting into Warhammer and specifically Kill Team, so learning lots. No interest in the human kill teams at all but whatever, I’ll watch the vid anyway. End of the vid: hello? Local hobby store? I need a box of those World War One looking fellas, the sisters of battle and those cyborg guys in red cloaks ASAP!!! Great vid for someone like me 🙌

[@NightfireGamingYT]

🤣🤣 oh man the Krieg are such cool models. I don’t play much Imperium but they are favorites

[@citizendisco]

Super useful as ever. Such a great channel for folk on the fence about starting in kill team.

[@NightfireGamingYT]

Thank you! That's super kind of you to say.

[@zachtheblake]

where is the website that is shown in the first few seconds of the video? I've been there before but cannot find it anywhere now

So 2 custodes and 5 sisters? That can help my GF since she would like to get into killteam but not 40k

"-A Boltgun, which is a fairly standard long range weapon." I think we both have a different opinion as to what counts as a 'standard' weapon XD

[@NightfireGamingYT]

hahaha fair point! I think when I made this I meant for in-game stats. A rifle firing small missiles probably shouldn't be described as standard lol

[@alias-yv2ro]

Hello…complete and utter noob to the war gaming side to WH40k here…is it possible to field tempestus scions as vet guard instead of kriegers? I think Krieg units look dope but I prefer the scions 😅😅

[@NightfireGamingYT]

You totally can! When you do stuff like that just make sure you opponent knows what you are doing and is ok with it. If you are mostly playing casually it’s not a problem. The only exception is if you are playing in tournaments, most of the time you’ll want it to be very obvious what your team is just by looking at them
