Sometimes while playing huge tournaments and battles of 200 pts and more, we forget about such small Warhammer 40 000 mode as KillTeam. And there's no good reason for it! Here are 8 reasons which will make you at least interested in this game.
1) It's available even for the newcomer. You can collect an army of 200 pts if you just buy a couple of boxes.
2) It's beautiful. There's no great effort - to paint such a small army. And it won't take much time. Moreover - all Heavy Support units and vehicles with a combined armor value more than 33 are forbidden - that means no huge and time-taking models.
3) It's a good training. All Warhammer 40 000 standard rules work here. This lets you to refresh them or to learn better if you are a newcomer.
4) This is a different view on Warhammer. Such small change as the ban for the 2+ save units greatly changes game balance. You will be surprised how the units, which couldn't do anything in big games prove to be useful in Kill Team. And the battlefield 48x48 will change your opinion about weapon's shooting range.
5) This is a personal approach. Since every model in the units acts separately, and you can choose 3 specialists with unique special rules - you have a good reason for painting and converting every model in the squad individually. It's time for the maddest conversions!
6) It's quick. All missions are designed especially for this mode, so the game won't take much more than an hour. Great chance to play mini-tournament with friends and then celebrate your victories in your favorite bar.
7) This is where the balance lives. Forget about death stars and spam of similar units. Kill team is firstly fun, tactics and role-play. Nobody's likely to try using any death star in the 200 pts army.
8) This is still Warhammer 40K. Recreate any battles and take parts in every event of the Grim darkness of far future - every big battle has its own small fights and dramas.
