Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Kill Team: Legionaries

Product Information

So by this point you’ve unceremoniously cut down one enemy operative, and likely dished out a deluge of mortal wounds to another, but we promised you as many as three skulls for the skull throne – so where do the rest come from? Sacrilegious Mutilation – If you select this Tac Op when you incapacitate an enemy operative you place a Corpse Token where they were incapacitated. Operatives may then perform the Defiled for the Dark Gods (1 AP) action while within ▲ of the Token and more than ⬤ from enemy operatives, the token is then removed. 1 VP is gained when this is performed twice, while a second is gained after two more times. This requires you to basically kill AT LEAST four enemy operatives, and then use four actions to score. While killing your opponent is something this team does naturally over the course of the game, having four spare actions is another story. If you are looking to run this Tac Op you should avoid taking it during Loot missions, and have the Champion as your Leader with at least half your team using the Blessing of Tzeentch. Yes, yes you can. Would an Anointed Marine functionally work as a Wulfen or a Death Company Marine? Yes they would. Is the Mark of Nurgle similar to the effect of Iron Hand bionics? Yes it is. Is a Space Marine with a giant two handed chainsword something that has been in the game since Rogue Trader? Yes it is. Can I give a Marine a Terminator 2 style chain gun? Yes, and Forge World sell a Horus Heresy era one. Is the only limit your imagination?

The Legionaries Kill Team has been very popular since its release, and a regular fixture in top event placings. They’re a versatile team with lots of options which can play well in a variety of formats. Strengths Reapers get 6 dice and ceaseless, so you reroll 1s, and are likely to come out with about 5 hits. Heavy bolters have 5 dice and P1, so you’re reasonably likely to get a crit and strip a defence dice off them. Focus on the faces of your Legionaries. Use a small brush to paint the eyes, facial features, and hair. Rakarth Flesh is a good base for human skin tones, while Administratum Grey can be used for hair or a mask. Not even the Space Marines are safe from the lure of Chaos. Whether they hail from the dark days of the Horus Heresy or turned traitor more recently, these baleful warriors combine their gene-given gifts with dark blessings and malefic sorceries, transformed by years of battle into fearless, superhuman reavers.

Frag [2 EP] and Krak Grenade [3 EP] – Not much to say here. Almost everyone has access to them, and there is a reason they got limited to one per team each. B+ In my opinion this is an auto include in kill teams where you want to use melee, and the combination of Lethal 5+ and the ability to Fight twice makes it real useful to combine with the Mark of Khorne to chew through enemy groups. The Hearthkyn Salvagers’ Steady Advance ability has also been completely replaced, as a previous balance dataslate made this effect into a core rule for all kill teams. Unfortunately, the Hearthkyn were written before that change – so this new version of Steady Advance will help them keep pace around the killzone. We’ve also reinstated Relentless on the Elucidian Starstriders’ rotor cannon, to increase their offensive potential. Today, a new balance dataslate has arrived to update Kill Team with the latest tweaks, buffs, and nerfs to ensure the most competitive skirmish experience possible.

Apply a wash, such as Nuln Oil, to the entire model or specific areas to add depth and shading. Dilute the wash with water and carefully apply it to the recessed areas, allowing it to settle and accentuate the details. This recipe for slaughter begins with a Mark of Khorne, one of the heretical upgrades available to the Legionary kill team. You then start the Turning Point by activating the Blood for the Blood God Strategic Ploy and Charge the Butcher into as many foes as he can reach. Blood for the Blood God isn’t just the name of an incredible Citadel Colour paint – it’s also a Strategic Ploy you can use to ensure that your frenzied operatives hit even harder when they charge. Deadly – Operatives live up to what you’d expect out of champions of Chaos with every specialist having very deadly and flavorful abilities. These unmarked ploys affect all Legionary operatives, so you can combine Hateful Assault with a Khorne strategic ploy and the ploys will both affect the Khorne models in play. Khorne Ploys

x172 plastic components that make 10 Chaos Space Marine Legionaries, corrupt veterans from the Traitor Legions. You can’t very well conduct clandestine missions without a suitable killzone to squabble over (and hide you from enemy fire). Killzone Chalnath has got you covered – it contains five substantial ruined walls, two chunky ruined buildings, and a double-sided game board. Along with two full kill teams, you get a rulebook featuring details of kill teams in War Zone Nachmund and some new missions that pit the Aeldari Corsairs against the Chaos Space Marines . You also get a lot (and we mean a lot ) of Sector Mechanicus terrain for your kill teams to fight over, around, and on top of. Legionnaires come with an interesting set of equipment with half their options being limited to one per team, and another four being one per team simply due to their usage requirements.

Hello there! Are you a traitor or heretic who hates the false emperor of mankind? Do you seethe with rage at the sight of newer, larger space marines? Do you like the flexibility of being able to run cynical warriors from the Eye of Terror or a bunch of bare-chested religious fanatics with improvised weapons? As you might expect from Warp-infused super soldiers, these Heretic Astartes are capable of putting out some eye-watering damage. None show this off better than the Legionary Butcher, owner of this rather impressive two-handed axe , who can potentially kill as many as three (three!) enemy operatives in a single activation. The Architect of Fate can also provide his followers with a measure of paranormal protection, through the Aetheric Ward Strategic Ploy. Legionnaires come with some of the best abilities for handling their elite counterparts, especially Intercession Squad and Phobos Strike Team, in the form of hard hitting melee threats and multiple high AP weapons. This fact alone is a strong reason to take them as Loyalist Marines continue to be the most popular teams in the game. The Chosen and Butcher are capable of killing their loyal brethren in two critical strikes, while Blessing of Tzeentch or Nurgle both have strong plays in this match up. It is important to remember that a lot of the advantages Legionnaires hold disappear in a match up vs custodians who are more than capable of killing your operatives in two hits, while negating critical damage. HordesMalefic Blades are there to give your Gunner/Heavy Gunner a good melee statline, and at 2EP they are fairly cheap for it, but if your Heavy Gunner is ending up in melee then they aren’t shooting. The Champion is the more utilitarian option to the powerhouse that is the Chosen. This isn’t to say the Champion isn’t a very capable operative as he comes with the usual suite of sergeant weapons along with a Tainted Chainsword that allows him to parry Critical Hits with Normal Hits, on top of this he is a slightly better marksman hitting/wound on a +2 with his pistol options. This operative’s main draw is the In the Eyes of the Gods ability, which allows him to perform a single Free Action after it incapacitates an enemy setting up for incredibly powerful 4 action activations. This savage and relentless warband encompasses a diverse array of lethal champions. Included among the ranks are the esteemed Aspiring Champion, along with nine other Legionaries eagerly awaiting their chance to unleash devastation upon their foes. Each individual can be meticulously customized, allowing you to equip them with an assortment of weaponry, choose distinctive heads, and adorn them with various accessories. In addition, these miniatures offer the opportunity to assemble specialist characters tailored for your Kill Team’s unique strategy, including the enigmatic Balefire Acolyte, the vicious Shrivetalon, the ruthless Butcher, and many more intriguing options to explore.
