hey guys jay here welcome to eons of battle and today i want to show you
the absolute madness that has been my life since a little game called kill team came out
since august 28th i have been all over this new game and having a blast with it it has given me
a wonderful excuse to buy lots of 40k models and i want to no i need to take stock of what i have
so let's get into it with all my kill teams so far starting off with the first team i made
the death core of krieg this came in the octarus box the first kill team 21 box and
i really like how they turned out this was part of my weekend challenge video a weekend wasted
and you know now that i think about it it wasn't that much fun because i was really pushing myself
to paint quickly but they turned out all right in the end and it's a really fun team to play with
i think the current meta is actually saying that veteran guardsmen are currently the
best team in all of kill team 21. that's not saying a lot because kill team 21 is actually a
pretty well balanced game and so all the teams are pretty viable but the veteran guardsmen
might be the best next up i painted a squad of assault intercessors in my black templar colors
and this team i actually really like playing i love close combat and kill team 21 and these guys
do it really really well they're nice and tough they've got a good gun they've got a good sword
just a really fun simple team to play with and i need to paint up another one because now you can
bring one extra body in a space marine kill team so super happy with those but only close combat in
your kill team is maybe not the move to go so after the assault intercessors i painted some
space marine in cursors these guys were really really fun i used oils on them it
was one of my oil experiments it was in my oil phase but i really really enjoyed these guys
and these are usually what i play if i'm going to play space marines and kill team
their bolters ignore cover which is huge and kill team because you're almost always going to
have cover so just a just a nice team my buddy sean plays these a lot and he beats me a lot
um after those i painted these sisters repentia i've always loved the sisters
of battle and i really really wanted to play around with an oops all repentia kill team
which is not optimal for kill team i would say and it's not because they're not good
their eviscerator chain swords are incredibly good and will kill anything they can catch but
that's the catch they have to catch them in close combat first and without having any guns
themselves they're a very predictable team to play against and that's a little bit their downfall
you can put grenades on them and that's a big help to have a couple of sisters running around the
field tossing a grenade and then getting into close combat but without any guns of any kind
it's uh it's a pretty one-trick pony kind of kill team really the move is going to be to have one
fire team of battle sisters and one fire team of repentia i think that'll be my best bet for
a sister's battle kill team but i really like the repentia they're really really fun to play with
and they were fun to paint and speaking of fun to paint the next kill team i did was probably the
death guard now these ones are a little bit of a cheat because i was working on them before kill
team 21 had even come out but i painted up a bunch of models for use in kill team 21 but i absolutely
love my death card these guys are crazy and kill team they only have i believe 12 wounds but
because of their disgustingly resilient rule it feels a lot more like 16. these guys are hard to
kill and it's super frustrating when you finally deal some damage to them and then they roll their
disgustingly resilient dice and they get a bunch of fives and sixes which means that they don't
take the damage you just did to them ah it can be very frustrating but they're a very good team
and actually with the new errata that just came out they got another body too so six death guards
in a kill team i think that might be a little generous but i haven't played against it yet
my buddy sean also plays these a lot and often wins but i i love these models the death guard are
a really really fun space marine elite forest and kill team and i really like them i also painted
up eight pox walkers that i would love to try out in a game i don't know if it's good swapping out
three space marines for eight pox walkers but i really want to give it a try after the pox walkers
we get to another kill team i painted for a video and that is the croot carnivores these guys are
super great they are the mercenary cadre and they are they are potentially my favorite faction and
kill team but they have some weaknesses that uh are a little bit of a problem when you're playing
them really i like their special rules i like their base stats i like the body of the croot
eight wounds is a really nice number because you're not as weak as a seven wound model
but they just don't deal a lot of damage they have bolt guns that hit on fours it's okay they
have acceptable punching but it's just so hard for them to deal good damage the sniper rifles
that you can equip them with do 3 3 which is low it's very low damage for kill team i mean like the
tau pathfinders get two rail guns but my crew are dealing with sniper rifles that have heavy
but it's okay i've played the crude a lot and they are really fun to play i like i like all
their rules i like that if they're in cover their regular six-up save becomes a four-up save it's a
huge boost to their survivability and i love that you can take so many models this is a 13 body kill
team and it becomes 12 if you bring the big ol honkin crew talks which i absolutely love this
model i love it in game it always dies it always dies quick but it has a great gun it has super
powerful fists and it's a it's a bird ape it's just fun after my cruise man there's a lot after
my cruise i moved on to the tempestus scions this is a team that i painted up live on camera by the
way i live stream on youtube every night from 9 to 10 pm central come hang out but these guys were
super cool i was super into marco for sony not just mecca and he does beautiful things with oil
and airbrush and so i tried a lot of the things he shows off in his videos on these guys and i really
really had a good time now we're getting into some of the armies that aren't finished so i actually
haven't gotten a chance to play with these but i'm very excited the pesticides seem to be a really
really good way to make compendium guardsmen really really worth it the scion it's just it's
a lot like a space marine scout and it's a lot like a guardsman they have orders they have a lot
of special abilities they have the bring it down stratagem and they're just really really good and
i'd like to thank marco for this bad ass paint job after my tempest scions i worked on
the eons of battle patreon that's right over there we have lots of high quality terrain
scl's available and it is the best way to support us making videos in addition to great grim dark
terrain you will also gain access to one exclusive video a week voting what models i paint live here
on youtube by the way a live stream every night from 9 to 10 pm central come hang out
a weekly hobby hangout and more another great way to support us by checking out our merch
you can follow the link in the description below to our shirts and sweatshirts with some fun hobby
related designs after the patreon i worked on another team and that is the greenskins orcs
this is another batch that i did live on camera and i actually painted the first one in a video
called painting isn't hard you guys it was a really fun video but these guys are super
fun they're my favorite orcs i've painted i just think they're classic perfect orky
i really really love them i've gotten to play them a couple times in game and they're fun
you would think that the commandos from octarus would be better but honestly i think that these
guys hold up they don't have all of the sneaky shenanigans but they do have some really good daca
and i really really like playing them i just finished painting up some more grots and a knob
and so i'm really excited to try them out with a little bit of a different loadout than what i've
been running but i super duper love these guys and speaking of doing things on camera i did another
batch on camera and that is the sisters novitiates from chalnath i super duper love these ladies
they've kind of given me a little bit what i like about the repentia in that they're close combat
machines but they have so many abilities that help them gain points and that's one thing i always
struggle with in kill team is gaining enough points to win the game and that is what the
sisters are designed to do the sister novitiates are a little bit like kamikaze specialists they're
meant to die in fact there's even stratagems that let you gain benefits when your models die
like specifically when they die it's pretty funny i really really have enjoyed playing them i've
played them a couple of times and i definitely think this is going to be a team i run a lot
if i could get good at any team i think it would be the sisters novitiates i super duper love them
and i also use a lot of marco for sony's ideas to paint these gals up it was a nice quick paint job
for them moving on to more unfinished things i have some death watch space marines with the new
erata they now get one extra body which i'm gonna have to build and paint up but they are almost
done they all have a couple of pouches and things that i need to finish and their heads need to be
painted i was contemplating doing it in a video but we'll see but i've been really enjoying these
guys i can't wait to get them in a game i think they're going to be very similar to the in cursor
space marines but they do all have power weapons and a lot more special weapons which is really
really nice i think for space marines death watch is probably the way to go if you don't want to go
with any of the chaos options they're just solid and i had a lot of fun kit bashing these guys in
fact i did that in a youtube video i make a lot of youtube videos you guys it's uh it's weird
but i super duper love them i got to use tons of my old space marine bits that have been sitting in
a drawer untouched forever and i cannot wait to give this frag cannon a try and kill team
i have heard that this weapon is the delete button and i can't wait to see if that's true
next up another unfinished team and that is the worm blade it's the reimagined army roster for
jean steeler cults and what's special about this is you can take regular neophytes and you can take
some more elite units from the codex these guys are super super badass the keller morph and the
guy with a knife and these guys are incredibly powerful but really really fragile so you gotta
you gotta use them really really well it's also very interesting to have some three apl models in
a two apl seven wound body kill team i think these guys are going to be an absolute game changer in
the army roster but i think that they will never survive a game i think if you're using them right
they don't survive the game because they need to be doing work for you while your little
squishy baby boys can actually be doing things like holding objectives and scoring you points
and this is going to give me a good opportunity to repaint some of my older
models like my jeans dealer cultists because i'm okay with the paint job but it could be
a lot better this is going to give me a perfect opportunity to do better but yeah this is barely
i mean it's not painted none of it they have to get repainted and these aren't painted
but after the unfinished worm blade i have another unfinished kill team and that is
the oops all tau stealth suit hunter cadre kill team these guys are from the compendium
and i just had to run them i love when the compendium gives us options that feel really
really different to the other armies available in kill team and these guys certainly feel like it
their their ability to cloak and be invisible has actually been incorporated into kill team and so
if the other enemy is not within two inches of them they are counted as being in cover which
is pretty huge if they have a conceal order you could very easily be untargetable while
like being out in the open it's a great little ability and i can't wait to see how they play six
bodies only two activations a piece but i think that they could still do some nice work lower
body count kill teams can sometimes be a little tough to run but i am excited to give them a try
and i really like these models they were really really fun to build the kit's getting a little bit
old but it was still a ton of fun and i need to finish the bases and do some conversion and paint
them and it's going to be a whole thing but like am looking forward to it and last but certainly
not least is these chaos space marines these are technically not for kill team two i started this
project way back in kill team one kill team 2018 as it's known now and this is going to be my night
lords space marines but luckily i actually built them all in sub-assemblies so all i need to do
to get them ready for kill team 21 is put on the appropriate weapon options onto their arms
and i'm going to follow the new chaos space marine rules that are coming out in
nakmend which is the next box for kill team games workshop is coming out with these boxes kwik
i'm going to be doing tons and tons and tons of painting but i'm looking forward to it
and these guys i really really love i gave them heads from puppets war miniatures they are
spooky scary vampire heads and i just think they look neat i was actually putting these together
while reading the night lords books and so i i feel like they're a little bit special and i do
want to actually get them done but at this point it has been like god over a year probably closer
to two years but they'll get done they will get done and that is four teen themes
that makes 14 kill teams so 14 out of 24 so 10 more to go and if i can keep the same pace
which clearly i cannot more than half of these are unfinished i could have every single kill
team and be ready for all the new releases coming out i am love and kill team thanks for watching
