Last week I managed to arrange a trial game of Killteam with Kev at t'Club. A matched play between my Tau and Kev's Genestealer Cult.
Just a quick set down with a smattering of terrain and had at it to run through the rules and get a flavour of the game.
The scenario was a simple enough affair with each of the teams looking to get off the opposite side of the board with as many of the troops as you could muster before breakpoint. Most off wins.
The two teams were pretty much opposites with the Tau shooty and the Genestealers choppy, so I had to shoot as many as possible before coming to blows, so Kev advanced as quickly as possible keeping to cover and I stayed put and shot lots hoping to break him before he got any of his team off the board.
Needless to say, this was only partially successful as the board was pretty small so the Genestealers managed to get into combat though not until round 4, but only after losing half their number to the Tau shooting. But once reached, my Tau went down pretty quickly in combat.
The game did go the full distance in rounds with Kev managing to get two off the board at the end and gained the victory.
The game was pretty simple to run through though we did get a couple of things wrong but enjoyable game all told and will be looking to get another couple of games under the belt to see if I can improve and get a handle on the nuances of the rules. Maybe organise a mini campaign to get a bit of flavour too.
Looks good a game.
ReplyDeleteThankfully I have long since lost the inclination for 40K and its siblings, however can see the appeal!

Definitely a better thing, 10 figs aside for a start, first 40k thing I've played in years and quite enjoyed
DeleteLooks like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteYeah pretty easy and fun is what it's all about though I'm sure some'll take it to the n'th degree
DeleteI love Kill Team. It's much better than 40k. What size board were you playing on, as you said the board was small?
