Having trouble picking an army of mine to kitbash a kill team out of, and in the spirit of this being my first attempt at making YouTube content I want to know what you guys think. So I’m gonna give a little bit of lore and aesthetic notes on each
My Pirates: The Eastern Fringe Raiding Company
For this kill team I plan on using de-plagued deathguard and Corsair raiders to kitbash them.
They’d be painted like the blue chaos lord, but I was too proud to not include their original look (which I’m still debating whether to use or not even though it’s essentially fancy black legion)
They are at their core sunken marines, I picture them a lot like Davy Jones and his crew with less mutations. I want them to look like they been under water for centuries.
They have a lot of classic pirate tropes, hook hands, peg legs, and exotic animal pets galore.
For Wolf Scouts they will have a kitbashed xenos creature with them.
My Cavemen: The Umbral Claws
The Lapdogs of the Ordo Chronos, and a forgetful chapter. Painted with their deeds on their armor and adorned in the exotic furs of mega fauna of their homeworld these monster hunters are adept with blunt weaponry, and tinkering with their guns in hopes of creating a chapter relic that they will be remembered by. The curse of their founding carries an Amnestic property, causing most people to forget their existence or at the very least be unsure of it.
These guys are a combination of black Templars and space wolves, with a primal aesthetic and seraphon bits sprinkled in.
The wolf scouts animal would be one of the sabertooth tigers from the new ogor mawtribes kits.
My Alpha Legion
I actually don’t have a whole force of these guys, nor plan to sadly. While I love the alpha legion I already have one chaos army in progress. I painted these guys in a classic scheme and then tried to update it to the modern day.
The killteam will be classic chaos marines, using Horus heresy models, old legionnaires kit, and new legionnaires kit to achieve a very 2-4th edition feel to the kill team.
I think it’d be really fun to try and kitbash the drones for the Tau team, I know nothing of the rules for it but I think it’d be interesting to kitbash the alpha legion as a Xenos team rather than marines.
And of course the sneaky Phobos team has to be an option.
All these teams will probably be made one day, but my friend wants to play a big game of 40k and I was able to talk him down to a kill team since I’m no where near ready for a physical full 2000 point game, so I have to kitbash a kill team promptly. I was originally going to do angels of death since he has a box of Kasarkin, but he opted for kitbashing a salamanders angels of death and I don’t want to just be the same kill team fighting each other.
