Kitbashing A Space Marine Kill Team

[@DragonaxFilms]

I love how much character this team has, especially Knives McStabby over there xD

[@PeteTheWargamer]

He's my personal favourite

[@blindoutlaw]

Every unit has that “knife guy” in it

[@captainfry245]

It reminds me of when I got a death company intercessors kit, I just wanted to keep adding more

@blindoutlaw And that “knife guy” in every unit is usually cringy as fuck.

I love how you made your Kill Team more fluff oriented than straight up minmaxing

[@PeteTheWargamer]

I don't know the rules well enough to min/max anything 😂

[@WardenOfTerra]

Anyone that min-maxes in Kill Team isn't worth playing Kill Team with.

[@patrickmccauley3255]

Your kit bashes and builds are always superb, but something that gets glossed over frequently is how great your paint jobs are! Really digging this Kill Team!

Thank you! I've really been pushing myself to improve recently 😃

1st, I don’t collect anymore because I can’t afford it being a student and everything but killteam is still awesome and I love you content

Thank you! I was the same, I dropped the hobby while I was studying but picked it up again when I'd finished.

[@williamfeller3319]

Trust me man I understand your pain all too well. I was in my sophomore year and I could barely afford the 40 bucks for a skitari patrol. I got a job at DoorDash, it pays well and is very convenient and now I can afford models without dipping into my savings. You should check it out.

[@michaelpatten5426]

@@PeteTheWargamer what is kill team and how do you play

[@amytamblyn8742]

@@michaelpatten5426 Killteam is similar to normal 40k, but instead of larger armies it's more forces of 5-20 (mostly around 10) models. The rulebook's £25 on GW's website, and uses standard 40k models (whilst all KT models can be used in 40k, not all 40k models can be used in KT though). It's focused on individual models instead of units of models, and the low model count means that games are shorter and it's easier to paint models up to the high standard you'd normally save for HQs. This also makes it really good for kitbashing, as you can put a lot of effort into modelling since you aren't working on too many of them.

[@wiccanthropy1956]

@@PeteTheWargamer couldn't agree more but I was wondering since good ol melee marines was coming into killteam if you would be interested in having a killteam addition to melee focused missions: a bladeguard a pair of assault marines and an intercessor Sergeant with powerfist or the like. Work to a full campaign roster! I usually stop on a killteam after it hits 12 models. 20 doesn't feel like a cohesive team yknow?

Well done on getting these lads featured on teh Warhammer Community website!

[@roefishguts6112]

Finally a suitable, no sensible, number of pouches as knives on a miniature keep up the good work

[@HeadHunterSix]

Raptors, in particular, are a very sensible Chapter.

[@zachrhodes2821]

some kind of demolition specialist would be cool, like one covered in grenades and explosives. (inspired by that one assault intercessor arm carrying the belt of grenades)

Most definitely! I've got some ideas for the demo expert 😉

[@danlangford9434]

That was absolutely fantastic. I really like The Raptors and you did a great job of capturing the essence of that chapter.

[@AddamsFactory69]

You're an ispiration Pete and always follow up your conversions with stunning paint work. I love seeing a heavy tactical theme on astartes!

[@PeteTheWargamer]

Thank you very much! I love that more "realistic" styled space marine too, the trinkets and flashy bits are cool but I just like pouches more 😂

[@ChampionMarauder]

Most of his competition doesn't bother to paint their conversions. It really puts his videos at the head of the pack.

[@CaolanGibbons]

The Land Speeder Storm has some cool extra Scout Knives that are slightly longer than the usual ones Firstborn come with. They are a nice scale with Reivers/Phobos boys. Really like your work. Keep at it.

[@Dreamzkape]

So awesome that you'd chosen Raptors! :) I've noticed them gradually turning up more and more and more over the last year in Battle Reports, painting tutorials and even a fan-made Warhammer 40k short-film. You've definitely done them proud. Will you be releasing a video about how you'd painted them up?

[@Araviz93]

I really enjoy your spacemarine videos. Each and every time feel like you introduce something new and interesting. Keep up the great work! You are a massive inspiration to me!

[@PeteTheWargamer]

I'm glad to hear it! With each of my videos I try to introduce a new use for a component or a new technique, just to keep things interesting for people.

I am doing it with Deathwatch, but I am magnetizing all the arms for flexibility. I do very much love the freedom, but it is scare to make decisions sometimes and overcome all the secondguessing. Especially with so many options in kits from ebay. The good thing is, that if i want another version, i can still build a new one later on. Thank you for that video and how low barrier you made it^^

[@emilkautovaara8380]

I’d love to make a killteam like this but I can’t really justify buying 4 boxes of models to only ever use 5

[@PeteTheWargamer]

With Kill Team you'd build up a roster, so you'd have a few options to pick and choose from. So a combat patrol box or start collecting, for example, would give you a great selection of models and parts.

[@ChampionMarauder]

I'd rather just play a 500 point game of 40k at this point.

[@Mad.player]

Start Collecting Vanguard has a nice combination of models and even a Commander option. Infiltrators can be kitbashed/proxied as intercessors. Also Suppressors have awesome canons, and we all know that bit**es love canons :D . To that you can buy First Strike to have Rievers and Intercessors. Also after making one kill team, make another and sell it. Ready to play KT are in demand.

[@monicledmarauders9359]

You could always look on Ebay for cheap model/bits to make a kill team

[@Bluecho4]

It's at this point that third party model services become more appealing. Anvil Industries has a line of Space Marine-alikes, that can be pre-customized when you order. They also sell just the bits, if that's all you want. So you could buy a box of actual Space Marines, then kit them out with whatever bits you get from other companies.

This video just reinforces the tragedy of how great Reivers look versus how absolutely awful they are in KT. As far as suggestions go, for an Astartes team, a Heavy Specialist with a Missile Launcher will never let you down, and a Grav-Pistol/Power Sword combo can wreak havoc on high-armor targets. A Plasma Rifle Sniper is also a classic! You've got fifteen slots to fill on that roster, and I'd love to see what you do with them!

Awesome job. I like that kill team and the idea of marine reconnaissance. I think the reviver will have a tough time getting to those knives on his chest. One of the things I want to work on is moving the pistols for the incursor/intercession models to either the right side or mounting them to the chest. Regardless, this has given me much to think about and try out.
