Games Workshop Kill Team Genestealer Cults Starn's Disciples

Product Information

This is a standard frag grenade with a circle/1 inch Blast radius like the ones carried by Imperial forces. Blasting Charge In The Lore Explainer, we take a deep look at the lore behind our favorite games, movies, and books, and talk about the story behind them and sum up what you need to know and how you can find out more. Today we’re talking about the lore behind Genestealer Cults. Writhing Ingress can only be used once per battle. It lets you place an Ingress token (just something that you decide is a token for that – a coin or a piece of paper, for example) next to a terrain feature like a wall or barricade. For the rest of the battle, friendly operatives can move through that terrain feature at the point of the token as if the terrain feature wasn’t there. Crossfire Also supplied are a double-sided gaming board measuring 22” x 30” with a Sector Imperialis city layout on both sides, 6 x D6, 2 x D10, a clear plastic 12” range ruler, a selection of gaming tokens themed around the Adeptus Mechanicus and Genestealer Cults.

The Grenade Launcher can shoot Frag OR Krak Grenades, so he can hurt tougher models by shooting Krak at a single individual, or if the opponent has a bunch of squishy guys blobbed up — you shoot the Frag profile and hurt every model within 2” of the original target because it has the new edition’s Blast Keyword! Harlequins remain at or near the top of the meta by all estimations and Genestealer Cults are one of the few armies that can match them blow for blow on scoring, while having the speed and output to catch boats. Mirror Architect’s return means that the central castle can be a little harder to assault but anything on the edges dies much faster, and it already died fast.Expert Swordsman lets the Locus perform two fight actions during each of its activations, and a free 3 inch charge after performing a FIGHT action that doesn’t count against your action limit! The Wyrmblade are blessed with an array of “good” to “fantastic” ploys, some of which are limited to once per game due to their potential to swing games. They are thematic and all play to the strengths of the team. Strategic Meticulous Plan An ACOLYTE HYBRID fire team includes five ACOLYTE HYBRID operatives selected from the following list: This gives your Neophyte operatives a new mission action to perform called Mark For Assassination that adds a Marked Token to a nearby enemy operative with a Group Activation of 1. If, subsequently, the Marked operative or any other Marked operative is incapacitated, you score 1 Victory Point. You can only mark one operative per Turning Point. Playing the Wyrmblade Kill Team Bringing two Cult Agents means you can only bring 6 additional Neophytes, but those could be 2 Gunners, 2 Heavy Gunners, an Icon Bearer and one Brood-Adept, unless you want the Group Activation 2 of the Brood-Adepts so you can swarm the enemy. If you’re going for a horde of Brood-Adepts, the Kelermorph is the optimal Cult Agent to bring alongside them, since he can buff them.

Over its first year Kill Team 2.0 slowly morphed from a game filled with rather generic teams into a truly competitive game with interesting and unique teams and rules. In January 2022 White Dwarf 472 released, giving us rules for the Wyrmblade Kill Team, an updated version of the Genestealer Cults Kill Team, giving them a set of strong competitive options and interesting, character-driven dynamics. All of this makes the Kelermorph a real “lead from the front” type of Cult Agent that can dish out great damage and inspire its comrades. Sanctus Sniper (1 per Kill Team, Cult Agent, counts as two operatives) We're going to be doing a lot more coverage of Kill Team, including tying it in to our Start Collecting Series, where we will see how our Raven Guard force get on in Kill Team as well. If you would like the TechRaptor Tabletop Team to try out a different Kill Team as well, let us know in the comments below. The Wyrmblade have some excellent faction Tac Ops and can choose from either Seek and Destroy or Infiltration for generic choices. Despite the lore depiction of Genestealer Cults as sneaky infiltrators and guerilla fighters their rules put them firmly in the Seek and Destroy category, they’re a team of assassins first, spies second. Nowhere UnreachableRusted Claw rely heavily on Heroes and Symbolism to power their rebellions, so it's no wonder that they make great Custodes with their Icon Bearer and Kellermorph models. Three of his brother Primarchs – Sanguinius , Rogal Dorn , and Jaghatai Khan – opposed Horus with their Legions, standing in defence of the Emperor’s Palace alongside hundreds of Titans and countless billions of Imperial soldiers. Each ACOLYTE HYBRID fire team can only include up to one of the following options: up to two ACOLYTE HYBRID GUNNER operatives; up to two ACOLYTE HYBRID FIGHTER operatives; one ACOLYTE HYBRID GUNNER and one ACOLYTE HYBRID FIGHTER operative. Other than ACOLYTE HYBRID TROOPER and ACOLYTE HYBRID GUNNER operatives, your kill team can only include each operative above once. Your kill team can only include up to one ICON BEARER operative.

The Kelermorph is one of four CULT AGENT options and the team’s sharpshooter. He’s armed with Liberator Autostubs, which give you an option of two profiles every time it shoots: Rout– One of the lesser choices as Wyrmblade aren’t a speedy team, and the requirement to be within 6 inches of the enemy deployment area makes this largely mission dependent. D

Your Leader’s main use is as the second of the two buff providing Neophytes as he allows you to use either the Slink Into Darkness or Coiled Serpent tactical ploy for free once per Turning Point provided you use it on a Neophyte (including himself) and that Neophyte is visible to your leader. That there is no range requirement is particularly good with your Mining Laser Heavy Gunner being the obvious choice for this ability. Keep in mind these ploys will still be subject to the once per turning point limit. You may declare this Tac Op at the beginning of any Turning Point to give your Neophytes access to a Mission Action fittingly called Mark for Assassination (1 AP) that can be performed once per Turning Point if the friendly operative is within 3 inches of an enemy and outside engagement range. This puts a Marked token on that enemy until the end of the game. You gain 1 VP for each Marked enemy that you incapacitate. This Tac Op is relatively easy to perform and works well when combined with the Meticulous Plan and Hiding ploys, and syncs very well with the Seek and Destroy missions. B Coiled Serpent (1 CP) is used when you activate someone and change them from Conceal to Engage, after which the first time they fight or shoot they can retain one of their hits as a crit. This is a great added bonus on top of Cult Ambush and again plays very well with the strategy of dropping in and out of conceal with Slink into Darkness. If your kill team does not include any other LEADER operatives, instead of selecting one ACOLYTE HYBRID TROOPER operative for one ACOLYTE HYBRID fire team, you can select one ACOLYTE HYBRID LEADER operative equipped with one option from each of the following:

Target Vulnerability (1 AP) – gives the sniper rifle the Lethal 5+ special rule until th end of the activation. Here we will look at the 9 Critical Ops Missions with a focus on Deployment Layout, Mission Rules, and Tac Op support. It is important to remember that UNLIKE standard 40K the amount of space between deployment zones varies from 12 inches to 18 inches depending on the mission. As a general rule a smaller distance bet This grants a 4+ invulnerable save with the added ability to either retain an additional success or upgrade a normal success to a critical success in cover when rolling saves. This means your CULT AGENTs can be exceptionally resistant to damage if they manage to stay in cover. In addition, it prevents them from taking equipment. OperativesAnother fantastic ploy that can be used to grant a Neophyte or Locus a free charge action against an enemy operative that is within 3 inches, if that enemy operative has targeted either a CULT AGENT or LEADER for combat. This one has a lot of uses that should be obvious, and does a lot to encourage you to keep certain operatives near one another. Keep in mind that it is not an additional charge action, so if you already charged with your Locus during the Turning Point he won’t be able to use this ploy. It can be an excellent way to counter an opponent by simply moving your Locus near an on-going combat, or simply a way to sacrifice less important operatives to keep valuable ones alive. A Hiding Frag, as always, is a very reliable choice when up against fellow horde teams. Put them on your Brood-Adepts to keep your opponent on his toes. Unfortunately, the Blasting Charge occupies some weird position between Krak Grenade and Frag Grenade that when coupled with being more expensive than frags and losing 1 inch off its Blast radius in exchange for only 1 more damage feels too weak against elites and not versatile enough against hordes. Oddly enough harlequins might be a good choice for blasting charges due to them occupying an odd spot between elites and hordes. In both cases Neophytes with this equipment are also a perfect choice for the Hiding Ploy. Frags B, Blasting D Spotlight [3 EP] He also has the Shadow Vector ability which lets you use either the Slink Into Darkness or Coiled Serpent Tactical Ploy for free on a friendly Neophyte operative visible to the Neophyte Leader once per Turning Point. Note that this happens in that friendly Neophyte operative’s activation and not in the Neophyte Leader’s activation. Kelermorph (1 per Kill Team, Cult Agent, counts as two operatives) Heroes – Wyrmblades have 4 hero options (count as two operatives) and can select two for the team. These bring more durability and damage to the table, as well as higher APL. They give what’s otherwise a horde team an elite edge.
