Kill Team Campaign - In the grim darkness of the future there is only...cake?

[TkaiC]

April 19th, Planetfall.

Ok, roll up roll up, put your names and armies down for the KT campaign*

This will be based on the idea that your Kill Teams have been despatched to a mysterious planet (where, of course, things are not as they seem).  Some are there to push back the borders of known space, some to search for precious salvage...and some have the darkest motives of all.

I'm hoping we'll have at least 4 players *and* me available, the plan will be to have 3 rounds so all the players get a feel for their opponents...then the fun starts with some co-operative multi-player.  Of course, it's as co-operative as you want it to be - there can only be one winner.

Please post your Name and Army, then PM me with your list and any particular fluff you want including...I'll get writing over the weekend.



* I know some people (Matt B for example) can't make Saturday - still join the campaign, you'll just be late to the party and so will be woven into the narrative at a later point.  Your guys will be greener...but fresher - hey, they didn't bring *that* much ammo with them you know.

I won't be able to make Sat either

Yeah sorry I have made plans for the Easter Weekend too!

I'm playing in the NetRunner tourney on Saturday I'm afraid. Though I'll be in with a little Inquisitorial Team for any future games.

I don't suppose anyone would mind me using a couple of these bigger guys as counts-as Servitors? http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/AlternativeFW/large/Myrmadon-destructors4.jpg

Would it be worth kicking off at the start of May Tom?

[TkaiC]

Yep, due to warp storms our arrival on the planet will be delayed!  Not to worry, more time for my new Astra Militarum to arrive.

Who are nothing like the Imperial Guard.

Nope.

I'm way up for this. Was away in Barcelona for Easter with my footie team (#Iknowwhathammeredshitfeelslike), and this weekend I'm booked, but from May onwards would be sound if you haven't already started.

Sorry, eye off ball by Tom.

Right, looks like there're 5 or 6 interested parties, which is awesome.  If people can PM me their lists I'll start putting together the fluff side of things - basic outline of the campaign will be:

Round 1 - Planetfall 1v1 match ups - Initial skirmishes between your novice Kill Teams as boots hit dirt - this gives everyone a chance to try out their list and have a play with the KT dynamic if you're not familiar with the variant.  As a heads up, it's a pretty dark place you've landed on.

Round 2 - A Stranger's Just a Friend You Haven't Met - 2v1 match ups where possible (I'll make myself available as stand in), aiming to play 3 games per session to have each possible alliance.  There can be only one winner though, so the 2 can't relax entirely...their new friend's all too eager to stab them in the back.

Tournament 1 - Singles Tournament to gain control of a key communications relay.  Ridiculously dense Necromunda style terrain...and one of your Specialists is looking a bit funny. 

And then the sun comes up...and it all goes wrong as we explore some of the extra missions with 2 more rounds of variations and another Tournament where it's not what you know, it's who you know that'll decide victory.

So are we using the free or current rules for our team? As Mike and I found out last Saturday, they both have different rules when it comes to specialisms/leader-traits.

[TkaiC]

Having played both I think I prefer the updated rules, tidies up the specialist skills and forces a bit more thought into the army list.

If anyone's lacking access to these....pester Seb.  Oh right, fine, pester me and we'll discuss via PM!
