Why the NEW Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team is a Good Idea

[@matthewcaron3319]

"All I've got to do is put it together and paint it" Famous last words. ;-)

[@commissarmartin]

Necrons in the basement? You should probably report that to the Inquisition...

[@amdnable]

you sir made me laugh

[@joqqeman]

Yeah, this was good, well played.

[@leakycheese]

Well, at least it's not Genestealers...... that happened to a friend of mine last week and it was a hell of a mess after the Terminators had finished.

[@lianhector9546]

I WISH I found Genestealers There were Chaos spawns in my basem..... BLARGHGLARDFAAAARGHLUUUPLORGKLLAAARR

[@tabletopminions]

Will virus bombs kill Necrons? I'm asking for a friend. Thanks for watching!

[@Sephvion]

There is something some people don't understand... You're breaching the FTC if you don't state that you're sponsored but are getting paid in money or items. So, I don't know why people get this idea in their head that you're sponsored or bought off. They are being ridiculous.

[@RadixFinder]

And there are also people who do not claim that they are sponsored but in fact they are. Recently, there was this case of this "Let's play"-guy promoting his own web shop in his video but pretended the web shop to be an arbitrary one...

[@Sephvion]

RadixFinder I understand that. But the people who do not state it feel and seem shady to begin with. Atom doesn't give off that vibe. I guess some people just do not like him.

[@themadgi]

Dat beard ain't trimmed by Games Workshop.

[@Sephvion]

themadgi His beard is magnificent. Haha.

[@tnatstrat7495]

It is a staple of typical idiotic behavior that they think anybody that disagrees with them is sponsored by an evil corporation or part of some conspiracy. Steer clear of anyone who thinks this way.

[@Cerberusarms]

Very true! I've played 4 kill team games so far and they have all been really balanced and fun. I'm down for anything that gets more players into the hobby, finding cool people to play with is honestly the biggest hurdle, not the price point.

[@LesterRamos]

Cerberusarms to me it feels really odd when compared to Heralds of Ruin. I prefer the level of depth there but the GW version of the rules are good for pick up and play

[@tabletopminions]

I agree, anything that gets more players into the hobby is good. Thanks for watching!

[@AlessioTysonRiosSerra]

I like your videos. Polite, mature, clear. Thank you for your job.

[@tabletopminions]

+Alessio Tyson Rios Serra I'm glad you appreciate them. I make them purposefully. Thanks for watching!

[@TheGlacialGeek]

I've become a HUGE fan of Kill Team! It really is an awesome way to get new people in and a nice change of pace from the bigger games! Well said :-)

[@TB--sp9wy]

The Glacial Geek I was just watching one of your Bat reps

[@darcyrobbs6866]

The Glacial Geek hey i just subscribed to you

[@bobthespartanski]

Bought this box with a friend because, as teens, we don't have a ton of money to spare yet, and it seemed like a great way to get into 40k. Haven't played any games yet, but I'm super stoked.

[@tabletopminions]

Glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for watching!

[@ruebenaugustin3493]

I agree with much of your sentiment about the game. Enjoyed your video. I've been playing a lot of Kill Team now, after having given up Warhammer 40k a few years back. Truly enjoy the small scale skirmish game structure it gives.

[@tabletopminions]

Same here. Thanks for watching!

[@KilijHistoryKlcTarihi]

Totally agree with you here. I have a cousin that would love to get into Wargaming but he is not sure how or what to begin with. With this its much easier for him, really looking forward to this game.

[@tabletopminions]

I hope you guys have fun with it. Thanks for watching!

[@Lewgmil]

That's great. Thanks for drawing my attention to it. I got some tau ages ago and never thought about making it into a huge army because of the sheer entry cost. This is a great way to get me to dust off some models and play with them at long last. You were spot on with age of sigmar too. That video reassured me, and got me back into the hobby. Having both skirmish level games with the option to go large scale later is great from GW, and what they should have been doing long before.

[@tabletopminions]

Always happy to get people back into the hobby. Thanks for watching!

[@WarBoy87]

I just got back from my local gaming store. They give 25% off if you are a member($20 a year fee). They even discount Start Collecting boxes! I got the Start Collecting Tau for $63.75 instead of $85, which was already discounted down from $145.

[@tabletopminions]

Wow, that's a damn good deal. Thanks for watching!

[@uglitor]

After playing tons of Space Hulk's 2nd edition I went and bought WH40K. Never got into it and after couple of years sold the whole thing to a friend. Now 20+ years later I find Kill Team and it seems to be just the thing I want to play. Waiting for mine to arrive in the mail as we speak. Now off to buy some paints!

[@tabletopminions]

I'm glad you're getting back into it. Thanks for watching!

[@SicariusXIII]

Bought my buddy a Kill Team box for Christmas. We both played 40K a couple of editions ago, and had lost the thrill of it. We built and played with it later that week and had a blast! Completely reignited my excitement!

[@tabletopminions]

Excellent. Glad to hear it. Thanks for watching!

[@zandosdwarf-king]

Warhammer 40,000 is not because its year 40000, its because you need to spend $40,000 to get into it.

[@driftinHank29]

LOL

[@AxeloNz3]

Cheers mate, appreciate the transparency, too many channels sell out these days it seems..

[@tabletopminions]

No problem. Thanks for watching!

[@BioXlord]

I just play Kill Team from years with the Heralds of the Ruin rules. I think they are better because you "buy" singular model in building the list, there's even the Hq section and various special items. A lot more than the gw version

[@michaelhramiak996]

Soothing voice, insightful commentary, you sir have got yourself a subscriber

[@tabletopminions]

Glad to hear it. Thanks for watching!

[@TcMcCarthy1]

Glad I watched this. I am just getting back into war gaming after a 30 year hiatus - trying to see if it's something I can do with my kids. So far, the costs have been keeping me from doing it. I'm a 1/35 scale modeler where for 60$ you can get a TON of models, but maybe I'll give kill team a shot.

[@Fymosis]

We did a kill team tournament during september at my local GW, it was really fun, more than a normal tournament IMO. Here's what i found was usefull : Infiltrated Units, when you have so few model, it's a lot of pressure to have 3 to 5 Scout sniper/Stealthsuit looking at your Leader/Specialist High mobility Unit : there was many jumpsuit/bike and even Interceptor Grey knight (30" teleportation) and all those guy were pretty awesome at killing everything Kill Team was the best thing to happen to War40K...before Burn of Prospero tomorrow, but i'm in love with Ahriman so Kill team's probably still the best for most of the community :P

[@tabletopminions]

Makes me feel better about my scout army. Thanks for watching!

[@MrBizteck]

agreed I had minus Intrest in 40 k but my neighbour is a massive 40k player easily has 20 THOUSAND points of several armies I mean it's nuts !! I picked up the kill team box and had a few scrap orks from various ebay 'bundles' and managed to scrape together a kill team I really enjoyed painting them and considering I'm a crap painter it's my best work to date. the box models are next and already in London there is at least 3 different kill team leagues I know of. I might not get a full 40k army but I intend to build about 5 kill teams play them all and perhaps find my favourite playstyle. I wish there used to be a similar version for 8th, but ce la vie!

[@tabletopminions]

I'm glad you have so many available Kill Team leagues near you. Thanks for watching!

[@mysticgise]

I quit 40k 2 editions ago. LGS ran a Kill Team League this summer, and I finally got around to buying the Tyranids I've been talking about for almost 10 years. Had a blast and God damn it, if everyone didn't love seeing a lictor on the table and surviving past turn 2.

[@tabletopminions]

Glad you got back into it. Thanks for watching!

[@MrHP25]

If you are interested, a team of hobbyist game designers called Heralds of Ruin have created their own version of Kill Team. Their version requires the rulebook and codexes too, but the neat thing is that it's like a mix of Kill Team and the old Mordheim and Necromunda games with a detailed campaign system. They also have a little sheet of rules for each faction that includes HQ choices that are usually powered down versions of the HQs from the regular codexes. Site for those interested. heralds-of-ruin.blogspot.co.uk/p/kill-team-rules.html

[@tabletopminions]

I'm familiar with it, and played it once or twice. I just didn't like it for some reason. I think it was due to the changes they made to the army lists and such. Thanks for watching!

[@Morkai101]

Tabletop Minions hb

[@patrickmcelveen387]

So Atom, when you mentioned that the rules suggest modeling your mini to match it's skills it reminded me of my old Rogue Trader days. Back then we would just match the rules to the model. The whole idea reminded me of Rogue Trader which allowed for so much variation in what you played.

[@tabletopminions]

I never got a chance to play Rogue Trader. I should look into trying to find an old book on eBay. Thanks for watching!

[@ronraducanu9633]

I want a Tabletop Minions T-Shirts with the words "Pa-Chow" on it in the old school '60s Batman Font. How cool would that be???? XL in Grey please!

[@tabletopminions]

That'd might be a good idea. Thanks for watching!

[@athanasiostachos6707]

Yet another great video!Greetings from Greece!

[@jakub_paints6775]

11:12 " I have some Necrons in my basement " - I took that literraly :D Good job explaining the kill team really enjoyed it. I think I am gonna buy it soon so thank you for the advice !

[@tabletopminions]

I'm glad to have helped. Thanks for watching!

[@Destroya511]

"Age of Sigmarify" lol You DID get me into Age of Sigmar and I've been hooked into it ever since (THANK YOU!). Looking into starting 40k soon-ish and it certainly seems like the Killteam boxset is a good place to start. Cheers!

[@tabletopminions]

I'm glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for watching!

[@HeadHunterSix]

We used to play 200-point skirmishes before this set came out - I'm fond of Crimson Fist bolter Scouts with heavy bolter support. I'll have to see how the new ruleset changes that - but, like you, I enjoy a scouty team.

[@tabletopminions]

Plus, scouts are fun to paint. Thanks for watching!

[@badpoulet]

I'm a AOS player and I got that Kill Team box to get me and my friend in 40K. Can't wait to try it. For $80 CAD, the value from these Start-Collecting-type-of-boxes is insane.

[@tabletopminions]

I love what they're doing with trying to get new players into the game. Thanks for watching!

[@luckyreplica]

Always wanted to try 40k, but like you said, pretty hard to get into, especially because the local community is hardcore, where i am more of a "playing for fun guy".. This box seems like the way to start some things up :D thanks for the video!

[@johncasiello3537]

Hey man, great video! I just picked up a copy of the Kill Team boxed set almost the same day you posted this, lol. I'm also happy about the new direction that GW seems to be taking. I'm looking forward to getting back into 40k at this smaller scale, but knowing myself, it'll inevitably end up being a springboard for getting back into collecting larger armies. :-)

[@tabletopminions]

I'm sure that's part of their idea. Thanks for watching!

[@leakycheese]

I was surprised you were getting suggestions of financial incentivisation by GW...... perhaps some people haven't watched many of your videos to appreciate your sage-like balanced perspecitve on the hobby? Spot on with your opinion on Kill Team, I'm very encouraged by the approach GW is taking to open up 40K at lower cost to new players by doing a skirmish version of the game. I had been a bit concerned that they might Sigmar-ise the game to achieve this effect which would have caused all sorts of issues for the large pitched battles I and my group like to play. They have also got a range of 'stepping stone' boxed sets growing now (Betrayal at Calth etc.) around to bridge the gap between large armies and Kill Team sized entry products. Thanks for another cool video :)

[@tabletopminions]

I'm glad they've done it (Kill Team) as well. I think it'll help get more people into the hobby. Thanks for watching!

[@FaustSketcher]

I'm glad they released kill team. I've been interested in getting back tot he hobby on fantasy, but used to collect both 40k and fantasy until almost a decade ago. Was looking for an excuse to collect 40k too, so i could start playing on a small scale, and this is perfect, since it will allow me to start playing my army as soon as i have a few models.

[@tabletopminions]

Absolutely. It was a smart idea on their part. Thanks for watching!

[@chompette_]

I played half a dozen kill team games with a friend of mine who is also getting into 40k, Ad Mech vs Space Marines, but we used the Heralds of Ruin rules for list building, I preferred that because I could run almost a miniature version of my full army that is slowly getting bought and painted, without having to run full squads. I mixed up a couple of Sicarians, a Kataphron, an Ironstrider and a few Rangers in with the staple Vanguard between the different games, 1-3 special with the standard troops per game, we both tried to keep the lists fair

[@phteven_steven]

Yeah, feeling the same AoS got me back to Tabletop, the introduction is much better for new player. Also the new Boardgames are quite good to start out in the hobby and provide great value at the same time. I hope they keep up with good work to make miniature wargaming more approachable for everyone.

[@tabletopminions]

I think they're going to keep focusing on getting new people into the hobby, and I think that's a really good idea. Thanks for watching!

[@itsrickeritsricker]

just picked up kill team after a 15yr break from 40k seemed a cheap way 2 get back into painting a bunch up but daunted by the amount of weapon options etc 2 set the squads up with lol. any good vids explaining set-up u can recommend? great vid btw

[@tabletopminions]

I'm not great at 40k strategy or list building. I'm sure there are more channels out there. Thanks for watching!

[@itsrickeritsricker]

thanks 4 the response your vids have been a great help 2 me, the glue has come out already, gives me an excuse 2 buy more later :)

[@clipsolo]

Love the new kill team. It's perfect for me, who cannot decide on which faction to play as now I can basically make a force of each of them (plus I won't get bored of painting 100s of the same mini)! And I can justify buying multiple codexes (as I'm a big fan of their productions, man they're so cool! :D)

[@tabletopminions]

They *do* make some pretty books, I'll admit. Thanks for watching!

[@secretace]

The only gaming club that I know of in my current country (South Korea) usually does 1k battles for 40k and it seems perfect 😉

[@imasepan]

secretace ayyy another south korean!

[@MarneusAndMilkyBlood]

Thanks a lot for presenting that, I think I might just go back to 40k with that sweet box. The idea of a scout kill team really appeals to me too!

[@tabletopminions]

My scouts are almost built. I'm looking forward to painting them. Thanks for watching!

[@MarneusAndMilkyBlood]

I can't wait to see them!

[@adamloveland3198]

I've played both the full scale 40k and Kill Team and Kill Team is a great way to try new armies, you see I'm getting into building a Deathwatch army and Kill Team was a great way to experiment with them because for one the kits are expensive(just for their base space marines, which is why I'm just going to convert regular marines and do conversion work). Now we did at first play with the specialist rules but we decided to try a game without them and the game was a lot better. Now to compare the time lapse between the two a standard game at the shop I go to is 2000 points and the games lasts for... three to maybe four hours roughly, with Kill Team the game only takes about half an hour because it's a skirmish game which is fantastic because you can get more games in, it's easier to manage and as you said it's perfect for trying new armies. Now I do like the huge army battles but if your looking to start then start with Kill Team, it's just a great entry way into the game and let's you get an overall taste of the entire 40k game.

[@tabletopminions]

You're right, it is really great for trying out new armies, as well. Thanks for watching!

[@leeacher2k]

10:47 Don't suppose you can provide a link to that gamer edition because google seems to be dead set on giving me links to full version

[@tabletopminions]

I just found it on the Apple iBooks store, that's about it. Thanks for watching!

[@shaunbambrough]

thanks for the presentation, I'm thinking of picking this up for my son and I to play.

[@tabletopminions]

It's a great set. If I didn't already have (too much) 40k stuff in my basement, I'd have picked it up. Thanks for watching!

[@AlanHaskayne]

I gotta say, much like how Age of Sigmar got me into Fantasy, Kill Team really got me into 40K, I found a person at my game store who enjoyed 40K already and agreed to go halfsies with me on the box in exchange for the Space Marines out of the box. Was a perfect little trade for me, getting me hooked into the game. Now I have a Dark Eldar codex and am looking into getting into that! Also, fun fact, the most models I figured you could bring to a Kill Team game is 48, with Imperial Guard, using two squads of ten regulars, 5 man command squad, and 23 conscripts (All in a Infantry Company)

[@David-And-A-Half]

I can bring 50 Tyranid Termagants. Two Troop choices. One 20 Termagant Brood and one 30 Termagant Brood. No upgrades. I'm thinking of bringing that as a joke next time I play. Alternatively Ork players can bring two Troop choices of 28 Gretchin and 2 Runtherds for a total of 60 models and 198 points. Makes me wonder if there's something even cheaper out there.

[@tabletopminions]

I need to find my Chaos Space Marine book and figure out how many Chaos Cultists I could take. Thanks for watching!

[@MrBratius]

i have to thank you for getting me interested in AoS...I now have an Ironjawz army and love it. I had been thiking of getting a small kill team together for 40K and now I will begin looking at what I want to play....maybe Eldar, I love the look of banshees

[@tabletopminions]

I'm glad you're enjoying Age of Sigmar. The Orruk Ironjawz do look super cool. I bought a Megaboss just because it's a great model. Thanks for watching!

[@frabacci86]

I think a video about metagaming in miniature wargames (what it is, examples, pros and cons...) would be very cool. Just a suggestion, keep up the good work!

[@tabletopminions]

I'd have to look into it. Different people have different meanings for that term, I've found. Thanks for watching!

[@ozoghuston2093]

I bought the set right when it came out. It's a truly amazing value.

[@ZephyrNadir]

I was looking into starting 40k again (just kill team), but the way the books are set up does my head in. The rules are all over the place, codex tells you to look in the rulebook for what things mean, but neglect to tell you where. I spent more time looking for rules than playing the game. I stopped 40k back in 5th due to budgetary reasons - just picking up a random model here and there. I am loving AoS though, as it is not needlessly complex. I haven't tried anything other than Open and Narrative play. Just rambling now. Great video as always! :)

[@tabletopminions]

+SulaccoSuperstar Yes, Age of Sigmar is a lot of fun. And it's not too needlessly complex. Thanks for watching!

[@bigbrowntau]

Kill team is a great way to play 40K. Very refreshing, quick and makes for a great afternoon of multiple games. Also a great intro into the larger game.

[@benja6902]

This is a great video! I can't wait to tell my friend about Kill Team, the Start Collecting boxes, and the cheap downloadable rules. Thanks Atom.

[@tabletopminions]

No problem. Thanks for watching!

[@tinywarfare9109]

Played lots of Warhammer and Epic over the years but never fully jumped into 40k. Kill Team let me dip my toes at a good price point so I bought in. Someone gifted me their old Black Reach box, so now I have a couple Marine kill teams, Orks and Tau for me & my friends to play around with. If I pick up a cheap squad of something somewhere it's an instant new army. So yes, I very much like Kill Team.

[@tabletopminions]

That's exactly what it's for. I'm glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for watching!

[@FrostandFists]

Great episode! I love the Kill Teams game and what it does for getting me people into the game! I've used it to talk some new people into the game myself! ~ Wolf-brother Methos

[@tabletopminions]

I agree: it's great for getting new players into the game. Thanks for watching!

[@ShawnEnge]

I enjoyed KT back I think in 4th ed. I enjoy the smaller, more scenario based stuff. It felt more like a movie where you can focus on a small group of models as opposed to a ginormous volume of them. Plus the games go a lot faster and a way smaller entry point into the hobby.

[@tabletopminions]

You're right, and those are the same reason I like it, as well. Thanks for watching!

[@Philtopy]

do I have to use the necessary troop sizes for normal 40k games? or could I take one standalone orc nob into the Killteam because I love that mini?

[@dagroth123]

you buy units as normal, with upgrades. after the game starts they all become independent. this allows a squad to start in a transport but, if any of them exit, they must all exit.

[@Manga_Lloyd]

I definitely like the idea of a smaller faster-paced 40k. I think GW tends to have the coolest models (besides malifaux maybe), but often times it's just too much stuff to deal with. As someone that wants to break in to the hobby, I really like the sound of kill team.

[@tabletopminions]

It really is great for that, actually. Thanks for watching!

[@GriMAoD]

I play an Eldar Wraith host and play 2kish pts with

[@tabletopminions]

+GriM AoD Yes, I think that's the idea. Thanks for watching!

[@lexzbuddy]

I fancy learning to play. I just got some gene stealer cultists and paints and brushes and and and... They look cool, that was my motivation for the choice. So, now I need to figure out all the rest as I am a noob. Codex, rulebook, good lord, I'll be bankrupt by the end of this. My wife wants to try it out too. So, tomorrow we are going to our local games workshop store as they are doing an Every Other Thursday learn to play event that starts tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it, I hope it will be fun :) Great channel, really enjoying it. Thanks :)

[@dagroth123]

4 man unit: 3 tyranid warriors, 1 lictor.60 points for upgrades. 35 man unit: infantry platoon, with conscripts (5+10+10+20) with 10 points floating

[@tabletopminions]

Wow, that's a big difference in numbers. Thanks for watching!

[@dagroth123]

i'm actually a new sub, so, thanks for uploading!

[@WargamerSpud]

Lovely video Adam. Thanks for the video.

[@LordPBA]

Just bought kill team and done first play. Great price/quality (but... no dice or metres inside). The rule for the specialists and that every minia is like a troop add a bit more complication into an already complicated rule set. I prefer to play a simple 40k at max 400 or 500pt. But, yes, kill team is a good buy ;)

[@tabletopminions]

I like the skirmish style of the rules. Thanks for watching!

[@Commy01]

2019 Update- the box set shown is no longer listed on the GW website.

[@SUBzeroY]

What are the rules/experience compared to Necromunda? This also has small time ams/gangs. I assume each game is a restart, so no leveling or character building. And how long does a game last?

[@tabletopminions]

You're right, Kill Team doesn't really have a campaign mode that I know of. Thanks for watching!

[@TheRunesmythe]

I've always toyed around with the idea of 40k, but it came down to me basically having to choose it or fantasy due to budgetary reasons. I may have to check this out.

[@RemisRandR]

GW's comeback to board gaming is also helping bringing new people to the wargame community I think. I've been looking for an excuse to buy some fantasy models for almost 2 years, and Silver Tower was the tipping point for me

[@tabletopminions]

I haven't bought any of those myself (other than Space Hulk) but I'm glad they're working. Thanks for watching!

[@robertknight3776]

While the regular rules for KT are cool, I actually have a preference for Heralds of Ruin Kill Team rules. They've been around for awhile, and all the rules can be found online for free.

[@tabletopminions]

I played a few games with those rules, and I didn't like them, sadly. Thanks for watching!

[@Prettykitty7890]

hey guys, if anyone could clarify a few things about the new Kill Team box set, it would be greatly appreciated: 1) is Supporting Fire a special rule for the Drone models only or do all models in the Tau kill team have it? 2) similarly, do all Raven Guard kill team models have the Hammer of Wrath special rule?

[@leftfieldrebel950]

kill team is really fun... i get to try out each army with out committing to it.... so far i have a kroot and drones, Astra tempestus with a taurox prime and scions... a dark angels force with a darkshroud, attack bike and scouts and thinking of doing a 30 ork boyz mob :)

[@tabletopminions]

My Space Marine scouts are nearly done, and I'm building a small ground of Necrons. I enjoy it. Thanks for watching!

[@SympleNLP]

I worked for GW back in the 90s. Kill team sounds a lot like Necromunda. Dave Taylor was my boss and he wasn't interested in feedback, just cash. The change might be good for all the collectors :) Blood bowl should be good but a revised Man O War would be EPIC. Loving your vids, let's me relive some old memories and catch up on the Evolution.

[@tabletopminions]

Glad to catch you up. Thanks for watching!

[@SympleNLP]

You are doing a wonderful job bringing table top gaming to people in an informative and calm way. Keep up the non ADHD presentation :)

[@JohnWestIV]

The first part of this made me happy. I also wish GW paid me/gave me free models/paints... a patch?... for promoting AoS to those around me. I just want more people involved, a stronger/larger community, and other people to play against. Because I LIKE it. Like people do with a movie they love... or a game they love... or even a book they really enjoyed. We tell others around us to try and share that with them. I mean... c'mon. And I've been tempted to form a Kill Team ...

[@tabletopminions]

I can't give you anything, but I appreciate you promoting Age of Sigmar to those around you. Thanks for watching!

[@LancelotDuCatt]

How do you feel about the Heralds Of Ruin? I'm just curious because I really like it and usually prefer stuff from outside GW that is fan made over their official stuff.

[@tabletopminions]

I played it a few times and it just didn't click for me. I suspect it had to do with the redone figure stats or something like that. Thanks for watching!

[@circus_of_paint]

Kill Team seems a really good idea for those like me that like to buy random units from the newest thing to be released *cough* Genestealer Cult *cough*... I bought the iBook rules to see what the KT rules were like, might even go for the boxed set soon!

[@tabletopminions]

Those Genestealer Cult models are pretty damn cool, I'll admit. Thanks for watching!

[@MalagaWargames]

Im totally agree with you. Im not getting paid by Gw either but when they do something right i wave them and when they do the opposite, which was like that till few months ago i was giving my pure rude own personal point of view about the stuff. They finally show improvement. Keep going, nice work, nice videos man. ~ Max.

[@tabletopminions]

I always like to give positive feedback when they do something good. Thanks for watching!

[@MiniGamePainter]

Just got it. Great game. Such a neat way to play.

[@tabletopminions]

I'm glad it's bringing me back into 40k again. Thanks for watching!

[@mrbushi1062]

Hey! What is your opinion on the Storm of Chaos box for Age of Sigmar as a way to get into Age of Sigmar?

[@tabletopminions]

It's good exposure to getting some models to build and paint, certainly. Thanks for watching!

[@warhammertrash1626]

New Killteam box coming out! I can't wait to get into wargaming. Thinking of doing either Orks, Tau, or Cultists. I'm divided between each. Any one you'd suggest?

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

I've been thinking about buying that box specially because I'm interested in the Tau Empire.

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

***** Lol, but you see I don't have that problem. I'm new to WarHammer, thanks to Age of Sigmar.

[@LordPBA]

I have discovered Tau with kill team. I like to play with them. Is a shooting army, similar for some aspect to modern warfare.

[@KBHFD]

Yeah you should try Tau,they are epic. I got a 1000~ pt army and man they are awesome !

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

Kai KeepSake What I like about them the most is the design of their robots.

[@rinhato8453]

The Start Collecting Tau box is the best value one they do, and you get good models from it.

[@seankavanagh3742]

I love kill team its a way for my son who is 6 to get a taste for 40k with out being over loaded. I got the box and I love it thou to be honest we dumped the Tau and went nids pretty fast those Fire Warriors are far to squishy!!!

[@jjpeloquin]

How long does a game take to run? I've been wanting to do something like this with some of my friends (probably dragging them kicking and screaming), but haven't dipped my toes into wargaming yet.

[@seankavanagh3742]

30-40 mins 40k in 40mins lol

[@AJratcliffe]

I'm putting together a salamanders kill team. never wanted to have a big marine army, but love the theme and style of salamanders! also, I have a suspicion that flamers will be great in KT

[@leftfieldrebel950]

:) very much so

[@leftfieldrebel950]

there is special flamer rules the once on fire the model stays on fire lol

[@tabletopminions]

The only problem (that I see) with flamers in Kill Team is that you don't need to keep your squads together in coherency so it'll be harder to get a bunch of models within the template. However, I may be wrong. Thanks for watching!

[@AJratcliffe]

I heard you say that in another video, I think blasts will be next to useless, as scatter is waaaaay to risky against single targets. Buy flamers will be guaranteed hits, and I think in KT (especially with marines where you won't have many models) reliable hits are a very good thing as you are shooting just one gun against one target, (and I believe salamanders get re-roll flamer wounds too, so there is bonus reliability there too!) Thanks for making the vids, always enjoy watching!

What is the current state of Killteam? My child was interested in the hobby after finding my old fantasy models but the only way I was able to locate items about Killteam was in the search function. Killteam didn’t have its own header bar to click on....they also didn’t list that boxed set

[@HoovesofDoom]

I love the idea of Kill Team. I'm actually hopeful that 40k will be streamlined in the near future.

[@tabletopminions]

You and me both, but I'm starting to doubt it more and more. Thanks for watching!

[@enordentoft]

(Genuine question) You have some AMAZING handwork in your videos, is this something you do on purpose, or is it just the way you talk/think/explain things?

[@tabletopminions]

It's totally unplanned, and it's just the way I seem to express myself. Thanks for watching!

[@paperclip181]

I love your vids :) I was thinking of starting 40k butt could never get really into the game it self. Butt after seeing your vid I cant wait to buy the starter set :)

[@tabletopminions]

Kill Team is a lot of fun. Thanks for watching!

[@raycampbell136]

Have you ever plated Heralds of Ruin? My shop put a campaign of it together we mixed a bit of mordheim into it to. heralds of ruin is like kill team but makes it more fun for people want to play not space marines who cant kill deathwatch in turn one. makes it alot more fun

[@tabletopminions]

I tried the Heralds of Ruin version of Kill Team last year, and I didn't like how they re-did the army lists, I guess. It wasn't for me, I guess - but I'm glad people like it. Thanks for watching!

[@televided]

So from someone who hasn't played 40k since 3rd ed, is it balanced? I have been waiting for a good, balanced "out of the box" game for 40k that contains 2 armies (I don't want to collect whole armies) and I have been interested in Calth and Prospero, but I think kill team might be more up my alley.

[@tabletopminions]

Nothing's 100% balanced, but Kill Team can be more balanced due to the fewer models and the army list restrictions. Thanks for watching!

[@anymajordude87]

"I have some Necrons in the basement" favorite line

[@guitarbombdotcom]

Thanks for the heads up on this, will check it out now, as have a few Space Marines kicking about and want to get my boy into wargaming. This sounds ideal, as he is too young to get into full on large scale combat.

[@tabletopminions]

Have fun, it's a fun system. Thanks for watching!

[@cdnpunkpete]

I had no idea kill team existed. I've been wanting to get into 40k so I think I found my starting point. Space wolves all the way. BTW thanks for helping me come back to the hobby with the positive AOS review. Do you still prefer open?

[@tabletopminions]

I'm warming to points play, especially since it helps to bring more players into the game. Thanks for watching!

[@Boggerdansken]

yo atom! i play necrons and they're awesome. I really enjoy the simplicity of the models and that they look very sinister. gonna try out kill team! i like the concept that i dont need anything new except the rulebook. good work, gw

[@tabletopminions]

I agree. I'm looking forward to painting them, too. Thanks for watching!

[@josephskiles]

Is the no flier thing still a rule? I love my Night Lords raptors/ warp talons is my only reasoning. From what I saw you also can't take just a reg chaos lord it has to be in term armor right?

[@coolsskin]

nice box-set! have both army's so i just need to get those basic rulls! great vid!

[@autumnVoid1138]

Is there anyway to get the kill team rules ? And does it translate into 8th edition

[@FilippoCalanca]

Thanks Atom for your videos. Seriously, apart for the great info content you're delivering us for free each and every time, I really like your approach to the internet scum that KZbin is full of. People who does things with no or small return are rare, thanks for being one of them. This is simply something that internet scums cannot understand at all: being sincerly generous and passionate it's possible.

[@tabletopminions]

I'm glad you enjoy the videos, and thanks for watching!

[@andrewsstudio]

Hi! Sorry in advance for my newb question. Maybe someone can answer. I was looking at games workshop website and couldn't find this "Kill Team". What did they do with it? Did they incorporate it into the "regular" set of rules as a "alternative" way of playing?

[@escultormariopitanguy]

You sold me one Age of Sigmar. Fantastic show. Congrats!

[@tabletopminions]

Glad to hear you liked it. Thanks for watching!

[@HeadHunterSix]

If you can't have a model with a 2+ save, are the Deathwatch Terminators not meant for Kill Team?

[@tabletopminions]

You are correct. Thanks for watching!

[@Rcbiggie1]

I have been playing the Heralds of rRuins kill team version for a few years now.

[@tabletopminions]

I tried it a few times, but I didn't like it as much. Thanks for watching!

[@Miniac]

first!

[@tabletopminions]

+SDub I know (roughly) where you live. What are you doing up so late? Thanks for watching!

[@WarBoy87]

omg my favorite 2 mini channels are in cahoots! Is that how you spell cahoots?

[@Miniac]

Tabletop Minions I took this Friday off to do some home renovation so I was staying up yesterday :)

[@chrisyost8721]

I like that you use cards to throw me to other posts. Would you mind also putting those links in the description so I can get to them at the end if I prefer to finish this one before going down a rabbit hole?

[@tabletopminions]

If you mouse over the video at any time (including the end) or tap on the screen when you're on mobile, you can click on any of the cards that were included in the video. Thanks for watching!

[@vasilmirchev4555]

Kill Team is smart thing. I have a small lot of space wolves, badly painted, not particularly good units: blood claws, metal rune priest and one or two grey hunters. In order to make decent army I had to buy plenty of stuff which was too much of a burden given the multiple armies I do right now (remember, don't be a miniwargame hoarder). I never played Kill Team, but after watching a couple of battle reports and "Pachao", instead selling them I stripped the models and now I am working into making them into a Kill Team for an upcoming local tournament.

[@legordaz]

Great video, agreed with you my friend!!

[@Lou2394]

is any codex needed to play this box version?

[@tabletopminions]

+Lou2394 If you play with either of the included lists, then no. Thanks for watching!

[@Lou2394]

thank you Atom :D
