JHamm Special

Today I just really felt like talking about my Astra militarum scions. I have been really motivated to play with my Valores Stormguard as of late. I want to share with you all why I'm choosing to make this my main faction for kill team where I am currently with the team and the army overall, and where I intend to go with it.

In this episode I emphasize some of the common themes you find set to set in the color pie of white. I give insight on my experience playing with these themes and how they can be beneficial to you as a budget/ new player. I go over some of the common decks that you have seen these played in and go over other arch types that can be handy in the colored pie of white!

Excited to play some kill team again, I go over an after action battle report that took place today where my Scion's (The Valoris Stormguard) took on Alex's (Si1ent_Squirre1) Astra Militarum Cadians. Tune in to hear if I think playing Scions is worth it, how the tactics and gameplay worked, and hear how the teams fared overall!

For those of you looking to learn some of the basics of specialists in kill team (specifically found in the core rules). I go over why specialists are important for those who are casual, competitive, and in between!

I go over some ways to adapt your kill team to be more efficient against a wider range of opponents. I explain the differences between making a take-all comers list and a more honed list.

I go into a deep dive into the special weapon known as sniper rifles. I share with you why I think that the sniper rifle is under-valued by others in the community and how I think they can actually be used in both Warhammer 40K and kill team.

I explain some of the core tactics found on page 65 of the rules. I explain how these can add flexibility and a new dynamic to your games if you haven't tried playing with them before!

I give some advice on avoiding "burnout" or "hobby fatigue" in your various hobbies, be it on the tabletop or out in public.

I give you the low down on how the list building process works and how you should be looking at the hobby of Warhammer 40k as someone completely new to the game. I aim to answer the questions many new players face and work towards quelling your fears!

I have another nice short and sweet episode going over the different bolt rifles that you can find for your intercessors for both Warhammer 40k and Kill Team alike. I go over what situations I would bring them in and how I would rate them if you only had to go with one choice!
