Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Kill Team: Legionaries

Product Information

The only real case in which you would go for a team of Warriors would be to equip them with Boltguns, give your leader the Undivided Mark of Chaos, and then use Favoured of the Dark Gods to use the Strategic Ploy Malicious Volleys for free every Turning Point to make all those boltguns shoot twice. Another One Per Team item as this can only be used by the Acolyte, although keep in mind this still won’t allow you to perform two Shooting Powers, meaning this just allows you to use Malign Influence in the same activation that you use either of the other ones. If your roster contains any operatives with the NURGLE keyword, it cannot contain any operatives with the TZEENTCH keyword (and vice versa). It is also important to note that the Blessing you choose to give your operative will also determine which ploys they will have access to.

The Aspiring Champion is a good combat Leader that can be equipped in many ways, and if you’re building your team from your existing Chaos Space Marines army, this is probably the model you already have – but I would still always go for the Chosen as my leader (see below). g. ), you can have operatives with different keywords in your roster or dataslate. This is easily amongst the best area of effect weapon profiles in the game, and all the more nasty on Close Quarters maps.The Aspiring Champion is one of 2 leader options for the Legionary kill team, and it’s the one that most resembles other leaders in power armour: It has 13 wounds and a 3+ save. Until the end of the Turning Point, each time a friendly LEGIONARY operative is activated , if it does not perform a Fight action during that activation, it can perform two Shoot actions during that activation if a bolt weapon is selected for each of the shooting attacks. Fuelled By Hate: While this operative has fewer than half of its wounds remaining, each time it is activated, add 1 to its APL.

For many Kill Teams the Roster mechanic is often irrelevant, which is unfortunately not the case for Legionnaires. The Heavy Bolter has the Fusillade Special Rule that allows it to distribute its attack dice among multiple adjacent targets, as well as the P1 Critical Rule that gives it Armour Penetration 1 if it scores any critical hits. The Power Fist has a massive damage profile of 5 normal and 7 critical damage and can only be blocked by critical hits, but its the only weapon for the Champion that has a Weapon Skill of 3+.Allows operatives to move a maximum of 3 ⬤ in the same activation in which they perform a Shoot Action. Its Double-handed Chain Axe looks like it has a pretty bad Weapon Skill of 4+, but its Vicious Blows Special Rule allows it to reroll 1s in combat if the Butcher is the attacker in that combat, and if you performed a Charge action in the same activation, it can reroll all of its attack dice. Toolkit and Customization – A combination of Chaos Blessings and associated ploys give this team access to one of the most expansive list of options in the game. When determining control of an objective marker that Grisly Mark token is within of, treat enemy operatives’ total APL as being 1 less. Any equipment marked with a + can be selected a maximum of once, and each operative can be equipped with no more than one of each item.

Soul Feast: Each time this operative fights in combat, at the end of the Resolve Successful Hits step of that combat, if this operative has not been incapacitated and any of their strikes inflicted Critical Damage, this operative regains 2 lost wounds. This is a standard frag grenade, doing Blast damage in an area with the Indirect special rule, ignoring cover when determining valid targets.These blood-soaked warriors enforce their will through brutal acts of might, seeking to become favoured of the gods. This counts whether they’re the attacker or not giving operatives significant movement potential if your opponent isn’t careful. Savage Butcher – Our last Tac Op is perhaps the simplest as it bears a strong similarity to Executioner. The Legionary Kill Team is strong and has access to a myriad of ways to do a lot of damage to your opponent, so in many ways, playing them is pretty straightforward. The Aspiring Champion has the option of choosing from a Powerfist, Chainsword, Power Maul, or Power Weapon, while the Chosen is granted a Demon Weapon.

Tzeentch grants Empyreal Guidance, and it lets you retain one attack dice with a roll of 5+ as a critical hit each time you make a shooting attack with a Tzeentch-marked operative. All of this sounds like a lot, and it is, but the Butcher is also the only operative that hits on +4 and comes with 1 less attack than his peers, making him very vulnerable to counter charging from opposing melee specialists, or simply missing entirely. On Close Quarters missions Seize Ground is replaced by Seize Access Point, which is actually a strong choice when up against teams that lack either Indirect weapons or strong melee threats due to The Butcher’s Devastating Onslaught ability.Each time an enemy operative is incapacitated, before it is removed from the killzone, place one of your Enemy Corpse tokens underneath the operative as close as possible to the centre of its base. When a shooting attack targets an operative with this mark, you can turn one normal save into a critical save in the Roll Defence Dice Step of that at attack – a defensive buff that’s good for any specialist in your Kill Team that might be the target of enemy sniper fire.
