Thanks for the vid. One note. Doesn’t Tesla weave hurt units that charge you? Not the other way around.

[@KimerexProjekt]

Did i say it was that way? Cuz I know it when things charge your unit. Which means the error is extra annoying. Guess I'll make a mini addendum later

[@patrickdunham9490]

Thanks for the video. Definitely missed that Cyrpteks and Plasmacytes have fly while I played these guys. That'll be a game changer next time, for sure.

[@BB-pn2qv]

Love these faction videos. Everyone

[@johnbeaudoin7820]

That was a good breakdown. I’ve got a couple small local tournaments coming up, and we have a few Hierotek players. Hopefully I can remember some of this!

[@user-fg5cn2re5s]

Nice video! Will you do an overview for phobos?

[@oleksii-kozak]

Looks like I'm a sub now :) Thanks for the video

[@normanderi]

As a lore player(meaning i only play things because i like the lore) necrons are they only ones rn that i play, hierotek were so bad, near unplayable, but their weakness stays, they are very few, 6 attacking 2 for missions, if by any chance you dont kill 1 or 2 models every two or three shots, you have lost(i mean against 10 or more model killteams). And if it happens like it does with me, that my psychomancer(blast, splash, 5 dice 3+ ap2 weapon) hit 5 models with 8 and 9 wounds, and only killed one, i literally missed a minimum of 3 dices every shot except the last one, 2 crits total, taking into account the first shoot was 5 dice missed on 3+, so i did with 25 dice, like 10 damage, ridiculous

[@miniaturestash]

Great video thanks

[@matthewlaxon828]

I’ve been looking for this kill team since it came out, and I finally found it yesterday at a small game store. Super pleased and now I’m trying to figure out how to build them. Thinking 2 gauss, 1 Tess, 1 death mark

[@KimerexProjekt]

Most people only really use the Teslas in close quarters. For mine, I figured out how to magnetize the guns, thankfully but without the Lethal 5+ they get from close quarters the teslas feel underwhelming. The big thing is getting your hands on the other leaders. Specifically The Chrono.

[@matthewlaxon828]

@@KimerexProjekt I do plan to buy another immortals box on top of the chronomancer that way i can have all the options I want. The bigger issue is finding people to play with. My store has 2 groups of 2 but they refuse to talk to each other or me rip. They just play themselves.

[@Kaegro]

I like to play 2 deathmarks. One goes teleports on a objective to cap and possibly shoot. The other stays in the back and snipes at stuff. Gluing the Apprentek gave me PTSD

[@KimerexProjekt]

Just remember that the Deathmark that uses the teleport is considered to have moved and then can't shoot with it's heavy weapon.

[@robjackson967]

Great vid again. Thanks for sharing. I’m 5 games into HC post buff (4-1) and they definitely have game. I don’t think they’re overpowered, you have to work for your wins. I’m still failing to use command every turn or get the most out of the accelerator cortical ploy or conduit. I like the play you mentioned with the Aprentek up top, will give it some thought

[@KimerexProjekt]

gives your low to the ground Cryptek a vantage point benefit. love that stuff

[@BB-pn2qv]

Just finished the psychomancer was… nearly impossible to build lol

[@benrunciman4399]

I would like to see Exaction squad next

[@gangstalker47]

Which faction is next?

[@KimerexProjekt]

Dunno. Bunch of people asking for Phobos. Saw some legionary stuff. Exaction. I'll have to figure it out. Happy people seem interested in these.

[@gangstalker47]

@KimerexProjekt nah man phobos is so prevalent. Do Pathfinders!

[@philippesimpson]

@@KimerexProjekt do Hunter Clade pls 😇

[@philippesimpson]

Once again, awesome guide! Question: Next to the 'narrator' mini there is a little 'pet' (or whatever it is) - does it ever speak, or is it just there to provide company?

[@KimerexProjekt]

It's name is Greg. It has an emote over on my Twitch channel. Whenever I get comfortable in the process for making these videos, he and others will start to have voices.

[@philippesimpson]

@@KimerexProjekt Heh. I can easily imagine Greg interrupting to ask follow-up questions, or with some snarky comment or anecdote 🙂

[@jamesshaw89]

Fantastic overview, subbed, shared and checking out your other videos

[@barrett_miniatures3408]

What do you think of the new buffs now?

[@KimerexProjekt]

I talk about them in my recent Dataslate vid, but I like 'em. Good to see the Apprentek get elevated.

[@vodoopupped9687]

What i need extra mini's to play them? Love the video by the way 😘

[@KimerexProjekt]

If you want ALL options. Out of box, they are playable, though.

[@dmwaters]

Would a plasmancer make a suitable substitute for an apprentek? It’s the only model in the bespoke box that doesn’t have an obvious proxy.

[@KimerexProjekt]

It could. As long as the base size is the same, the model itself seems larger than an apprentek which means it's not being modeled for advantage

[@piotrekjezewski5105]

@KimerexProjekt and option for update Hierotek? Or is video up to date? :)

[@KimerexProjekt]

Always compare what is said here to my dataslate update vids or Warhammer Community's Kill Team downloads Dataslate. Things keep shifting, but usually not in massive ways.

[@piscesandgemini]

Mayhaps a pathfinders guide? 👉👈

[@isaaclovato5361]

Where can I find these cards that were shown of screen during video for each unit

[@KimerexProjekt]

The info cards? The unit info is in the Shadowvaults book, or the Annual 2023 book. Outside of that there are... online methods of getting the info.

[@artemgusamov7028]

Do corsairs next please

[@hithim_]

So I wanna Start 40k and want to buy me this Kill Team, is thise a good choice? Thanks for this Video

[@KimerexProjekt]

Big 40K and also Kill Team? Or mostly Kill Team? Hmmmmm... The base box for this gives you a technomancer, which you can use in big 40k if you're looking to start necrons. I like the team in KT, though. They've been buffed multiple times. Even more since I made this. I feel like they are fun, but I also like Warpcoven, and they play kind of similar right now.

[@hithim_]

@@KimerexProjekt Thanks for the fast reply appreciate it. For right now only I want to start only with KT, if I start with the Big 40k is still unclear, its a big new world for me so I have to start somewhere XD and my friends told me KT is a good start

[@KimerexProjekt]

@@hithim_ Nice. If you have SOME interest in Necron as a faction going forward definitely grab them. If your mostly looking for a playstyle, think of them as undead , and their guns are great. melee is middle tier. "spells" are fantastic.

[@rodrodelcid6111]

out of the box i only can build the technomancer?

[@KimerexProjekt]

Yep.

[@teejay1646]

Yeah the way the box is designed is kinda scummy monetization wise You'll want to buy a second box of deathmark/immortals and a second cryptek BC the two not included in the box are on smaller bases
