Hi. I'm new to the killteam game, and wanted to make an angel of death killteam with the few space marines I own (5, need one more). I was wandering if I could use this guy I painted in the team (knife + pistol in holster) or if I had to get more guys.

What is Nordic Tabletop Showdown?

NTS is one of the biggest if not the largest tabletop convention in the Nordics. Around 400 players, assemble in the renowned Gigantium arena in Aalborg. 26 different tabletop games are represented along side different vendors and artists.

Along the tournament there will also be opportunities to shop at the vendors and even participate in a painting competition sponsored by The Army Painter.

A common question in my local meta that has caused much argument: Can the Tempestus Aquilon Precursor use their Vicious Knife Fighter rule when retaliating?

Arguments for: It states "whenever fighting" and retaliating is fighting.

Arguments against: Lots of other models across the game specifically state "fighting OR retaliating" in their rules.

Wanted to get a community feel for it. One of our local group put it up to his TO chat and it apparently caused a small war. We were hoping for the October update to clarify it but it's been missed off again. Thoughts?

Up on Warcom today: https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/k04goqrk/kill-team-october-update/

And of course the downloads: https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/downloads/kill-team/

Seems fairly minor, bunch of stuff around breach actions on Tomb Worlds, also Exodites need to be on an engage order to finish a sprint within engagement range (so no more concealed "charges" for them).

Players!

Welcome back as we get stuck into the a team that is know for toolbox-maxxing with none other than Mateusz from Poland! Join us as we get deep into requisitions, aura farming... err BUFFING and how you need to play to get the most out of this team. Taking out 1st place at WTC 2026 Singles and the Polish team winning the Teams event, there is definitely some SERIOUS JANK with this team!

Please sir... can I have some more? err... **NO** 🙅🙅‍♂️🙅‍♀️🤣

A few guys at the FLGS want to get into KT but have only ever played half a demo game and still need to learn. I’ve played a few solo games just to try to learn but don’t know much beyond the basics. What’s the best format/game mode/ops to learn the basics without spending a 40K amount of time reading the rules for 4+ hours? Pic of my yaegirs to draw your attention…

Here are some beauty shots of my nob and squigs (and some of the boyz).

Wrecka Krew is a great team, especially taking Tuff Gitz and Amped Up, they just won't go down.

Feedback welcome on the scheme, was going for retro-cool but worried it might've turned into condiment colors.

First of all, I absolutely love Kill Team, and I know many of us play it casually, just to have fun. For most players, none of this really matters. But I’m curious about how competitive players, especially those attending Worlds, feel about this.

With barely a month left, we still don’t have Approved Ops 2026, the new map, or the rules for the two new teams that will be legal at Worlds.

The issue isn’t whether players can prepare in a month. If everyone starts with the same information, that’s perfectly fine, and I’m sure there is no bad intentions behind it, is just something that happened.

But let’s be realistic: many workers in the process and playtesters are either among the best players in the world or closely connected to them. Even with confidentiality agreements and not trying to point into anyone because I can guess 99% of them respect this game to the core but we know information inevitably circulates within smaller communities (remember how everyone knew about Exodites before the reveal even when it made no sense?).

This means some players or communities may already have weeks or months of extra knowledge about upcoming missions, mechanics, and teams, while everyone else is still waiting for the official releases.

And the longer those releases are delayed, the bigger that potential preparation gap becomes. Even if they were revealed as I’m writing this, there is still a huge gap.

So, for those attending Worlds, and hardcore competitive players… How do you feel about this? Are you concerned about a possible competitive disadvantage, or do you think it won’t really matter?

Curious to read your POVs!

Or iz dey Gorkmongers…

Goremonger base kit. AoS git heads from boingrot and wolfgitz spearhead with a few other random bits.

I kinda feel they are a bit bright but will play them a few times before I decide if they get more time on the table. Obvs need to finish bases still.

I have heard that Bheta Decima is supposedly the worst Killzone. But I still own it and as such would like to use it correctly. Can't really find any rules like for Octarius and such online though. Would anyone happen to know where to find the rules, map layouts and such?

Playing against my buddy’s goremongers this weekend, havent gone against them since their buffs in august and im a little torn on operative selection to bring here, my gut instinct is sargent, blademaster, disruptor, aegis, demolisher but worried thats too melee heavy and not taking advantage of going against the goremongers 5+ saves. Ill likely bring kraks and the pistols arent bad by themselves, but seems like im playing to his ball game by committing to this much melee. Is it better to bring something like breacher that can move and shoot twice to secure kills? Im just worried that hes so efficient at getting into melee that ill regret having multiple ops that only have fists as a melee weapon.

I’m building my first kill team and am putting together the jump pack guy. The instructions show him getting an axe but can I instead equip him with the sword? Or maybe one of the smaller daggers? Is there any difference rules wise or is in gentleman agreement on them?
Thank you!

I just finished my Celestia Insidiae. I wanted to give it a battle-worn look. I also tried to paint glowing steel blades. I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

Reading through the vespid rules and this might just be me.

When performing a fly charge you do not get the extra 2" movement. Fine got that bit.

But

If I didn't fly with an operative and perform a regular charge do I get the extra 2" or not?

Hi folks, can anyone please tell me the length of a single Tomb World wall section from junction point to junction point, please (or to put it another way, the spacing of the grid lines on the TW layout maps)? I'd like to have a go at making some proxy terrain, and would like to be able to make it fit these maps properly.
