In a happy coincidence, ALL these Kill Teams are currently in stock at GW. How long this will last is anybody's guess, but I doubt it will be more than a couple of days.
@@CanYouRollaCrit some were only added last night. I've been keeping watch on the KT stock, waiting for Kasrkin and Exaction Squad, still waiting for the ES, though.
I'd be interested in your opinions on getting terrain/scenarios. It seems to me like it you need a friend with a starter set. I've tried to get my hands on a killzone for several months with no luck so I've been stuck on DIY terrain/made up scenarios
On the subject of compendium teams which you touch on, in my opinion there are three noteworthy ones which can be made with a single box and are in the upper margin of power for compendium teams. These are: - Deathguard - Best list with the extra specialist to swap in or out can be built from a single box of 40k plague marines totaling 7 models. Team is a traditional elite team with a variety of specialists similar to Legionaries but with a fair bit less complexity, making them a bit easier to learn for new players. - Grey Knights - Very simple team loadout wise with very clear best options. Single box of strike[er]s/purifiers/purgators/interceptors (all the same kit) lands you 10 models and you only need 6, allowing you some duplicates for extra gunner/leader options. Great for learning how psychic powers play into the game. - Ecclisiarchy (Sisters of Battle) - A team of 2 battle sister squads can be made from a single box of 10 40k battle sisters. Team has so interesting features like 2 melta guns, a damage trick tactical ploy and a 10 model team all with 3+ saves. Fairly straight forward as most compendium teams are but nonetheless are easy to learn and pretty powerful (especially with 2 melta's vs. elite teams). Hopefully this covers that aspect for those interested. Good luck in your games!
As of now, the most economical way of starting an Intercession Killteam without splitting up with a friend is buying a Primaris Crusader Squad box for 60$. You get 6 Intercessor body with both bolter and chainsword to play around with and loads off melee weapon plus pistol to make an Assault Intercessors sergeant. You will also get all sort of blings to customize your marine too. The downside is that you are missing the gunners and the grenadier, the only bilter available is Auto Bolt Rifle, and now you have 4 un-use Scout Marines.
I mainly play Voidscarred Corsairs and think they are a fantastic team, picked them up early into my KT obsession and, touch wood, are yet to lose a game with them
I think Kasrkin are literally the perfect beginner box. Except for the fact that they hit on 4's (ik its an old argument) so they kind of feel swingy, but they have ploys and elite points to alleviate this.
Orks were my first kill-team and I think they were an absolutely awesome beginner team, and probably my favorite team still. I also own the corsairs and they are great, and introduce you to a lot of other mechanics, like healing, dual activations, fly, etc. I don't have as many games as them under my belt yet, but that's just because I never have finished painting them haha.
@@CanYouRollaCrit Yeahhhhh.... I got them all primed and dry brushed up ready for color... but all the little armor adornments are so tiny and going to be very time consuming (for me) to do the scheme I'm thinking of. Looking forward to finishing them though so that I can play them again. I've been slacking on painting so I've given myself a restriction of not playing any of my teams that aren't painted up 😅

A viable (though maybe not super competitive) Compendium option would be getting a box of the new Tyranid Genestealers! The new models look great, they are fun to play on both type of boards, they are not complicated to pilot and GW seems to be quite intent to not release a Tyranid Kill Team any time soon...
GW should really sell an Intercession Squad box with 5 regular Intercessors and 5 Assault Intercessors. And maybe bundles for the White Dwarf teams too.
The Nob's shoulder is relatively easy to magnetize, so there's no need to just stick to one weapon forever. Not really a new player option (no bits box or conversion skills yet?) Abut for someone who would like to play one box vet guard and likes the Catachan aesthetic I can recommend a box of Space Nam by Reptilian Overlords - 20 models, all weapon options inside, just need to find some bits/conversions for specialists like the medic or the demo trooper. No need to buy two boxes to get a full roster of Veteran Guardsmen.
I know it's too late for your Nob, but maybe someone will find it useful. With a scalpel I just scratched two holes a bit bigger than 1x3mm disk magnets (a drill would be better but mine was broken at that time :]). To hold magnets in place I didn't use glue but a little green stuff as, when soft, it gives the magnets a bit of mobility when you are trying to line up the parts perfectly. I squeezed the parts together and then I just left it to harden overnight and the next day did the same thing with the other arm and the already fixed magnet in the shoulder. Even the cables coming from the weapons line up with their sockets now.
"a heavy gunner with a heavy bolter" - Buddy I don't care if that bolter can oneshot the entire enemy team through cover on a 2+ roll, I'm making that Reaper Chaincannon :P
I went for the rifle because it looks cool 😂 I've always liked having squad leaders with a rifle, it annoyed me no end back in the day not being able to give the sergeant a lasgun !

You Sir/Madame, are a great person. Just bought the Kasrkin.
@@Maidez09 I'm happy I could help.
Omg they weren't when I recorded the video 🤣
ps: I'm not a playtester 🥲

Super handy! Kommandos also officially the funnest and ‘killteamyest’ team. 😀
They deffo are aha
Orkz is best, literally confirmed.
Statistikully konfirmed
It’s great when you share how you build a team 👍
It's important, especially for Corsairs and Legionary (:
I mainly play Voidscarred Corsairs and think they are a fantastic team, picked them up early into my KT obsession and, touch wood, are yet to lose a game with them
Oh nice, that's great to hear! They really reward lots of practice/sticking with em
I think Kasrkin are literally the perfect beginner box. Except for the fact that they hit on 4's (ik its an old argument) so they kind of feel swingy, but they have ploys and elite points to alleviate this.
Yup, pretty much. I think they've aged pretty well with the 8 wounds and extra elite points. Really solid for new players
Orks were my first kill-team and I think they were an absolutely awesome beginner team, and probably my favorite team still. I also own the corsairs and they are great, and introduce you to a lot of other mechanics, like healing, dual activations, fly, etc. I don't have as many games as them under my belt yet, but that's just because I never have finished painting them haha.
Yeah, both great starter teams. Corsairs can be a pain to paint 😅

Would love them to do that
Adding a character and a dread and now you have the new blood angels combat patrol :D
Great video! I totally agree about Kommandos, best 1 box team in the game!
Orkses da best
Great video! Haven’t watched it yet…
You've come...from the future 🧐😂
Cool video. Iv currently got veteran guard but not a huge fan of playing them. Im stuck between drukhari and eldar corsairs.
Thanks! Oh corsiars are great!
Playing Legionaries for 6 months now and they are still fun. Just wish Tzeentch was a bit stronger to provide a good alternative to Nurgle.
Tzeentch is a lot better in the current meta imo
@@CanYouRollaCrit I'll try Tzeentch some more, it just feels a bit bad to be so weak in melee (comparatively) as a chaos space marine :D
Yeh Tzeentch all the way for sure, I see your point for melee which is a shame.
Blooded for me, one box all the operatives bar some ga2 guys and they are really fun 👍
Yeah they're close to being a one box team
Ork kommandos are the best beginner faction and most fun to play
great video !!
Thanks (:

Oh? It looked super complex/difficult when I was building my Nob
Ah that's nice but I'm only going with official kit models (:

Dakka Dakka Dakka !!!!
Dats da best roght dere
What are your thoughts for the Corsair Felarch running the rifle instead of the pistol? I built my Felarch that way
Pistol is just more useful overall. Rifle is only really good vs PF and Vet Guard
A rifle hitting on 2s with rending aint to shabby with the power sword. My buddy plays his that way and it's kinda annoying to play against
I went for the rifle because it looks cool 😂 I've always liked having squad leaders with a rifle, it annoyed me no end back in the day not being able to give the sergeant a lasgun !
Great video as always! What about a video on how to play kasrkin?
Thanks, I could!
What are the two boxes I need to get for the intercessors?
- Assault intercessors
What was the other one?
Regular intercessors (:
@@CanYouRollaCrit thank you?
Primaris intercessors right?
Sorry, I'm a bit new to the hobby
Yup those (:
Just get the wyrmblade team. Its complicated to play, not insanely good and like $120. Perfect for new players.
Priced the same way in scale like how they are to collect in 40k 🤣😭
You should do the opposite of this video! Met a guy playing chaos demons that claimed he needed 7 boxes.
Fighting Harlequins and Wyrmblade for most costly kill team 🤣
Im thinking about getting into the hobby, and saw the box of veteran guardsmen, how bad it would be to start woth them?
Not bad, you'd just need a 2nd box to get a fully viable kill team to play with (:
@CanYouRollaCrit oh, thanks, it's not as bad as I thought 😅
Btw, do you guys have some sort of "getting started" video on the topic?
No but I'm hopefully doing one soon (:
I'd recommend getting the start set if you have no where to play as it's great value
@CanYouRollaCrit thanks! Will checkout what the local store have and maybe guys in there could share some pointers as well
I feel like you forgot to mention Novitiates in this list but maybe you find them too complicated for a beginner? :)
They were on the list but I cut them. Still quite awkward from a single box and complicated to play
Chalnath didnt come with a single purgation sister 😢 its okay though what comes in it is really fun. Not sure what comes in the box box
@@rellikskuppin7417 the flamers? Uh, yes it did. Not sure what you're talking about.
Cool
Yup (:
just want to say if you want intercession out of one box and dont mind some zealous flair the black templars crusader squad can make the full team
Kindaaaa. I used a Crusader Squad and 5 Intercessors
Why did you say for intercessors you need 5 of each the rules say 5 total mixed and match with a sgt to make 6? Am I misunderstanding?
5 shooty models and 5 assault to make a fully flexible roster
Imperium magazine has assault intercessors in sets of 5. No need to buy a full box.
They the multipart ones?
@@CanYouRollaCrit Doh! you are right, they are just the push fit.
I'm buying my first kill teams I'm thinking tau please lmk if I'm in Over my head
Pathfinders?
@CanYouRollaCrit yeah however idk if it's worth getting that or a similar team
CUSTODES easy to play and just 1 box too
Nah you need Sisters of Silence too
Granted you can buy these killteams haha
Yup 🥲😭
Best box you cant buy
Er...which box?
@@CanYouRollaCrit All of them. Sold out.
