Followed. See you Tuesday!

A playable stealth suit + drones team is my most wanted Kill Team. It’s what I wanted to play for Kill Team 18 and again in Kill Team 2021. It’s just the obvious Tau Kill Team, at least to me.

[@panskibinski1434]

Or at least 3stealth suits + 6 (new) pathfinders

[@FestorFreak]

My local killteam group house rules Heavy Intercessors and compendium Tau because a lot of us just think they’re cool. Heavy Ints go to 3apl. Stealth Suits get +1 ballistic skill and go to 3apl. They still aren’t amazing, but they are at least playable.

[@panskibinski1434]

@@FestorFreak I agree I think most of players (and Tau fans) would welcome with tears of joy that 3APL on them

[@MrSBGames]

Same here, that is the main squad I want to play 😢

[@soossoos1509]

@@FestorFreakunfortunatly my friends begin crying The second my suits turn invisible

[@malocuillandre1344]

I'm beginning Kill Team, I only played 2 games (I lose both) yet my veteran guardsmen are soooooooooooooo fun and soooooooooooooooo beautiful (maybe my best paint work so far, I painted them as early-1914 French soldiers, with dark blue coat and bright red trousers, they're my gorgeous little deadly babies), I don't even care if I loose I just love playing them

[@joelheinitz2139]

I'm painting my veterans the same way! They're super fun, especially when you lose 4 operatives in one activation and still somehow pull off the win

[@adammclaughlin845]

See, this is the attitude gamers should have. Editions tend to be crashed by power gamers who win at all costs. Love of the hobby doesn't come into it and we all suffer. These games are supposed to be fun!

[@drewparks4363]

I know it's more filming, but I'd love to see YOUR teams. I along with most have seen the GW stock images 1,000 times. Keep up the good work! Love the channel.

[@user-rw8dz3hy9d]

thanks for the happiness that you help put into the community with your videos hope that you have a great week

[@ChampstylesTLT]

I second this statement

[@mitchellwilliams874]

Wholesome content

[@williamthousig]

I got into the game/hobby partly because of his content 😂

[@harazhangf5782]

It was an interesting video. Only downside is we didn't see the teams you painted, would have been better in my opinion.

[@durkee8823]

“Play with yourself.” - Jay

[@lordamnesia]

Would love to see a video of you putting together your adeptus mechanics kill team!

[@dankirk25]

For Chaos Legionaries, Ive had mixed success with all Nurgle operatives with an Aspiring Champion with the armor buff (not sure of the name), a heavy bolter with suspensors, a plasma gun and packing the rest out with bolters, one with daemon shells. Obviously, this team relied on Malicious Volleys to keep heads down or popped but it works often enough. I'm desperate to pick up an Inquisition Kill Team, of only for the models. I loke the idea behind Kill Team. I dont have the time or an existing player base to play full games of 30k, 40k etc with any more but I like to keep my gamer's hands busy. Being able to build and use several small squads just makes that a possibility, if not actually possible right now.

[@SockimusPrime]

As someone who plays compendium sisters to this day, they are a solid team. I run all battle sisters because two meltas and a combi melta just evaporate enemies off the board. Every now and again, though, I’ll run repentia for that sweet eviscerator action

[@patnoon5477]

Great theme song, guys, wish there was a full length version. I just got my KT Compendium, been building teams up and have five of the teams from the book so it just made sense. Hopefully I'll be ready to actually jump into the game soon! Plus that Beastmen box is SUPER tempting!

[@matthewlink4707]

So good! Keep doing killteam stuff!

[@miniaturestash]

Great episode, the kill team community has slowly been growing here in my area. Again thanks for all the content

[@JimmyK53]

Love the video! I won KTO with talons so I totally agree with your love for custodes!

[@kolosmenus]

I've played Kroot, Navy Breachers, Intercessors, Orks and Blooded. I have to say, Blooded were by far the most fun to play so far. Intercessors close second. I've also got Veteran Guardsmen and Hierotek Circle on the way, really eager to try them out.

[@sonicwingnut]

Haven't really got into Kill Team properly yet but got myself the Imperial Agents boarding patrol which has 2 sets of Breachers and Elucidian Starstriders because they were a cool looking set of models covering some things we don't normally see in regular 40K. Also got the Votann team and can probably build a bunch of the other ones.

[@Flash_Git]

as always a great video!, you just pump out content and its always amazing!!😀

[@ben.harnwell]

Now I wanna play kill team… thanks Jay your joy always makes me love the hobby more

[@ForTheSuperEarth]

I like the imperial guard kill team, very beginner friendly and easy to play, but at the same time you can do so much on the battle field

[@t_hetty1758]

This summer I gotta get into kill team and this vid helped out a lot in choosing how and what I wanna get into! Might as well get the starter set so I can get both the veterans and kommandos.

[@johnnythedark3090]

My favourite are rogue trader - they are like novitate but with even more focus on every character doing their own thing. Also big guy with a minigun + dog combo.

[@ZakuInATopHat]

I definitely wanna do killteam/warcry. Might be easier to lure family into playing a small game with me than big games. That & several small very personalized teams could look Great on the shelf.

[@trikk9964]

... there's nothing like the aesthetic for those Red Wizards of Mars. Truly... the most inspired looking faction ever created by GW...

[@mitchellwilliams874]

Love the channel jay. Keep up the great work

[@IamtheWV17]

I'm surprised that you didn't mention the corsairs... based on everything you said you loved about all these teams, it sounds like the corsairs are a perfect fit??

[@theburonexperience]

Hey man! I’ve never written here but I just wanna thank you for all the knowledge I’ve learned here. Thank you Jay. AAAAAND, Am I the only one who would enjoy to see you painting a bloodbowl team?

[@Ghost3210]

Most fun are those with fun themes. Orcs are always fun. Personally, I like Alpha Legion Legionaires and Tzeentch Daemons for being able to tell "Just as planned" after an loss. Also nothing beats declaring "Exterminatus" after your Inquisitorial agents get clapped. Winning is always fun, but you can't win every time, so you have to make even losing fun for it to be a great experience all around.

[@cygnusereve4779]

Was hoping to get some Necron content. But I am glad to have info on Imperial Guard. Still debating between the two factions.

[@mileswoolfenden750]

What about the voidscarred jay? Get those badboys on the table!!!! Thanks for the positive energy as always!!!!

[@IamtheWV17]

Hearing him describe what he likes to play it feels like a match made in heaven

[@judenewlands6693]

Love your videos there so entertaining and engaging love it

[@Acenchious]

Great episode! I want to see what you think about The Necron Kill Team

[@dococ3272]

I do really love how you put some of the extra box contents pictures up example: the mechanicus showing the extra figures that could be in the killteam. Oh and for legionary try running aspiring champ: heavy bolter gunner: anointed: gunner with plasma: a couple warriors. The free god specific ploy is incredible from aspiring champ, always use that, the anointed is just gorgeous when he gets in to melee, your warriors can grab objectives and I find setting the heavy bolter and leaving him is unvelievably powerful especially on an objective. You know what to do with a plasma gun lol, I also use plasma pistol and power fist on my champ. I’ve had a good bit of success with this list against a very good Corsair and eldar player. As well as a competent ork player but he’s still a kid lol so I help him beat me usually.

[@samcole6466]

Would love to see your thoughts on each Warcry Warband next!!

[@theturnc0at]

Nice to hear the DG one is good! I’ve been considering picking a box of plague marines up for the purpose of making a kill team with them, perhaps I will bite the bullet

[@cptnpinhead7289]

Started into warhammer with kill team and the death gaurd squad was my second squad ever and what started me getting into other squads and teams

[@blakewilliamson6761]

"It shoots a can of expired dog food..." 🤣

[@user-gi4hi3we6k]

As a gunuine Resident Evil fan, Plague marines plus poxwalkers kill team is the most fun combination to me. Zombies and mutants rushing slowly and resolutely to a desperate group of survivors, doing their best to stay alive. Yeah, I definetely love that!!!

[@NecroGoblin-yl2fx]

would be cool to hear what you think about the two kill teams in Ashes of Faith when you have played as or against them a few times :)

[@locogato3488]

Tnx for making our hobby interesting again

[@RuneChaosMarine]

@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="840">14:00</a> i have been waiting over 20 years for an assult cannon chaos. the havocs must be very fun to use with x4 reaper chain cannons.

[@RandRWargaming]

Great video would love a similar one for warcry

[@krangster6583]

Awesome video👍

[@BWTodd]

I got the Custodes Combat patrol in my Adepticon swag bag, I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it, but a Kill team seems to be the way to go. 4 dude and 5 sisters so I can run both variations. Not sure what I would do with the biker guys left in the kit but glad to hear they are fun and easy.

[@ryane.3539]

I’m picking up a box of the DG Space Marine Heros to use for kill team. Looking forward to it.

[@bobrbw]

Great episode! I certainly don’t know about any other news recentleviath-Whoops!

[@GoochiFPV]

Im currently tryi g to rush my necrons to painted as i really want to see how they fair against my Gellerpox. Thanks for the content my dood!

[@bauguilhugo9037]

Scions may go mostly because of Ashes of Faith and not Karskins, because it's about '' is your compendium model can be played in a bespoke team ? ". I wonder if they would Count some classic guardsman as Vétéran Guardsman for this instance.

[@MrSupertrooper1]

I hope GW talks to you about killteam to ask your opinion about the game, who else has such holistic view of the painting modelling and gaming of killteam

[@caveychip7510]

Yooooo mechanicanicus is jays favourite kill team! Mechanicus painting video when

[@MrSBGames]

Wanting to play the pathfinders, your thumbnail baited me in 😂

[@knightpaladin9841]

Oops all Scion is my favourite kill team to play. Just love my Sergeant giving everyone tablewide orders, really versatile kill team

[@carlosiyanaszca]

"Apex legends board game" Kickstarter project

[@rangerousdave]

The best answer to this question is: emo space elf BDSM pirates. HotA is a hoot.

[@aarotron2189]

Novitiates are disgustingly good indeed. Having played yesterday vs them with grey knights, repentia 1 rounding one greyknight and superiour killing 2 other 1 shotting with overcharge plasma and and faith point rolling saves and misses. I am only slightly bitter

[@evileyeball]

Jack of all trades is master of none, but better is he than a master of one.

[@36seti]

I'd love a Vespid Killteam. Or maybe Killteams made from some of the other species allied with the Tau.

[@PapaJerms]

So, I’ve got Custodes, the Sisters Kill Team box, and just recently got the Kill Team Warzone Essentials box. What else should I get to start? Obviously the core rule book, but does that include rules for the armies as well? Or do I buy the compendium too? Is there new rules? TIA!

[@BrandonYugioh]

Looks like you’ll have to do a follow up sometime and talk about the ones not mentioned here! I play Warp Coven so I’m curious what your thoughts are there

[@pappa_pizzaria-9448]

Best creator hands down

[@user-tn1zr6hd7l]

Do death korps of krieg still have models in production? I can't find any anywhere

[@odharrison23]

How does the rouge trader Killteam play? Anyone know? Thanks gents!! Fantastic as always!!

[@dannyho956]

you should try gellerpox infected, they’re a joy of melee

[@KamenRiderGreed]

I'm surprised you don't have anything to say about the Thousand Sons Killteam. I'd love to see you tackle the Thousand Sons.

[@Littleknight556]

Can’t wait for the eob marine tutorial

[@zodbones]

Where would a necron, nid, and the gellerpox teams be placed on the fun/usable list? Personally still love my Deathguard and Orks, but was curious.

[@r3darrow571]

I'm actually new to kill team and have been trying to get into it but I constantly get overwhelmed

[@wanna877]

Your favorite deserves a video painting them

[@BLOODKINGbro]

Commando orks playing like Genestealers is weird.

[@Emperortabletopgaming]

given the new SM hereos are kill team that came out , would you update your list?

[@That1greykight0666]

Noooo grey knights personally one of my favorite teams to play but a little weird if you don’t build them right of preform the right tac ploys or strategic ploys

[@MikeGeney]

i run 6 grey knights with dual falchions and i really really like it. The damage is very consistent with all the re-rolls, And once you get the hang of being sneaky with the movement / using the 2+ save on stuff that has to be exposed they're great. Being able to move and shoot or fight twice feels absolutely broken at times.

[@johnvanzelm2307]

How do you get to reroll your plasma gun with the Deathguard kill team?

[@daemonprinceazriel9113]

Happy Shovel Noises <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="481">8:01</a>

[@The_WarL0rd_Way]

Love the video, but no, Necron! Jay... didn't mention anything about the Necron killteam? We need to do a DNA test to rule out an alien clone Jay replacement.

[@garretwoeller7669]

I want a custodes/Lucifer black kill team like an old eyes of the emperor as a leader

[@chrisdixon6689]

All Termagants!

[@darcyleaman3839]

I love playing tau but the drones aren't really fun but the sheild drones i always have

[@saskaharkonen8874]

We need more Blood Bowl team painting content

[@CrimsonTemplar2]

I fully expect the Compendium Scions are going to get replaced with the stats from Ashes of Faith.

[@martilopez9352]

Khorne deamons go brrr but only brr for 2 TP and then you get bored while you get grinded.

[@5az2]

Video on painting the hunter clade confirmed??!! BIG IF TRUE

[@themanthemyth4522]

TFW even KZbinrs forget about the eldar

[@Kievitzi]

Most fun to play? the kill team with the most heavy flamers!!!!

[@intzbk1]

I still don't understand how FNP works. Is it like digustly resilant?

[@TheGoopiestGoopa]

I’ve never played Kill Team but maybe I’ll have to dust off the Custodes and SoS

[@The80sWolf_]

I used to dislike the look of orks, but these kommandos made me decide to play

[@Mikel9]

we need more videos about OPR games

[@Rettungsdackel]

can i play normal games with the figures?

[@gmulhall]

Is there a time stamp with a tier list? Ain't no body got time for words

[@smokinyou4312]

So is there not going to be a proper sisters of battle kill team? They have Custodes and Space Marines

[@NightshadeShroud]

I want a battle sister squad. I don't like novitiates models but I battle sisters are under powered now

[@Mrclark1977]

Do you record any battles? would like to see you play some KT.

[@Kingofthesmall]

I too would enjoy an Eon kill team report with Jay inspired lore for the setting and models. Like a library story hour but 40k style.

[@xecutioneralpha-2273]

No mention of grey knights hurts

[@OliverOusley]

How do you have four plasma on a deathwatch kill team? From what I can tell you can take a combi or plasma gun on your leader, one on the gunner? Unless you're counting pistols on the veteran fighters

[@BWTodd]

I was wondering the same, seems wrong but it has been a minute since I looked at the rules and played.

[@rainyvans]

Warp covens do not exist in the Jayverse

[@diabolihellscream3410]

Drukhari? Hand of the Archon? Thousand Sons? They can't be that bad, right?

[@michelecastellotti9172]

But... markerlights are why playing tau is fun! How else am i gonna get some salty tears to drink?!

[@boiink3359]

Can kill team characters be used in the normal games?

[@malakimphoros2164]

Some bespoke can, all compendium KT's are regular infantry units with fancy rules. KT2018 had the advantage of having no dedicated models.

[@devunit2369]

What about Grey Knights?

[@zobazoba6418]

what about the kasrkin?

[@r1ptidee]

Day 31 of asking for a Centurion Squad magnetization and green stuff conversion video. Once the video is made, I’ll become a top tier Patreon to get my name on the sergeant of the squad.
