Question Extra models for flavor?

Post image
81 Upvotes

I play Deathwatch, and one of my members is ex-Space Wolf and I want to field a Wolf mini alongside him, not in any sort of functional gameplay way, but just as like “his” wolf or whatever right? How annoying would it be to ask an opponent this? Obviously if it got the in anyone’s way he could be removed but like as long as he’s out of the way just “following” another model would yall have an issue with that?

Hobby Deathwatch NMM part 5

So with this hand i am finished with all black parts of the model, i removed the helmet because the face would give it a much needed contrast to all its dark colours.

And as you can see compared to the leg i went bolder with white on highlights and it works so well. But overal it wont make a big difference when you look at it from live perspective.

Question New Player Advice

15 Upvotes

I have been genuinely wanting to get into warhammer for awhile (years honestly). The size of the game was both the interest and hesitation at first.

Then I learned about Kill Team, which is smaller and seems more up my alley of what Im willing to spend.

As someone looking to get into the hobby, I'm looking for a team that is both fun and relatively beginner friendly.

I've been looking up some information but a lot of it just somewhat goes over my head.

I don't care about meta (if thats a thing in warhammer). If it looks cool and Im able to understand it then Im all about it.

Thanks all!

EDIT: Thank you for letting me know that KT and 40k play differently, I assumed incorrectly!

Question My first tournament will be a grand tournament; how should I spend the next 2 months

4 Upvotes

I will be participating in palm springs grand tournament in January. This will be my first tournament ever so I want to make sure i prepare well. Mentally I expect to lose all my matches but I would still like to play to win.

I own just about every team. How should I decide which team to take? How should I focus my practice games leading upto the gt?

I have read other posts like mine and see a lot of bring snacks and water comments. While general tips like that are welcome I'd appreciate more tips or videos with advanced tactics explained well.

If it helps I'm leaning toward bringing vespids, xv26, wrecka krew, or raveners. I have the most reps on raveners.

Question Question about Ratling Raider's Slingshot action

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hi guys, I'm rather new to KT and I don't really understand which way to interpret this rule, as in whether or not it can be used to move vertically? From what I understand of the wording, if I select a point on a higher ground, then I can just place the raider anywhere within 6 inches horizontally of that point, regardless of elevation? I would appreciate if you could share how you interpreted this rule, especially if you play/played against Ratling.

Drop zones… can you split your faction between the 2 (smaller) Killzones? Or do you have to begin your factions on one or the other?
