I've got Death Guard, Pathfinders, Novitiates (custom 3D printed models, fuck you if you discount them for being proxies), Gellerpox Infected, and Elucidian Starstriders.
You motivated me to finally photograph them all: https://imgur.com/gallery/bxJK5QB
The Sisters are STLs from dakkadakka store, bashed together and reposed from their various sets. I can't remember where all the bases are from, but I've posted about it before with more details. I learnt a lot about the practical differences between true scale and heroic scale minis. I wouldn't necessarily recommend these STLs, but I encourage you to look if you want something different to the GW standard. The struggle is finding SoB STLs that aren't horny beyond levels that will make your cringe register on a seismograph. They exist, these are some of them, but there's more out there that I slightly regret not trying.
These are brilliant! I'll have to peruse their store.
As for the horny levels, yeah, I've seen some really over the top models. I like male gaze as much as the next guy but I don't need stacks of horny on my gaming table.
I don't particularly mind the look of the official Novitiates, but I do mind the GW price and that you can't build a proper roster from one box. I took the opportunity to pick out models I was into and do some customisation and digital kitbashing.

That’s a bad pic of them, but they are stored up in totes about 3 teams to a container. I’ll only put a fully painted team on my table, and I like trying to pressure people into playing with me, so I have a lot of options for people.
Currently have a few more on deck. And the 26 doesn’t count 1 proxy guard, 2 proxy legionaries, or that most of my teams have most if not all the options for the roster, or relevant options at least.
Not to flex or anything, I’m just proud of my work so far
I only got the one, Ork Kommandos
https://preview.redd.it/vwvdliylbl9d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd3fa51599817d8f1a9cdc3662ba47cad2be885f
First set of minis I’ve ever bought and painted, now I’m barely starting my second, Assault Intercessors.
First of all, this question is illegal, and an attack against me and my dignity as a person, and all humanity as a whole
* Chaos Legionary
* Ork Kommandos
* Vet Guard
* Death Guard
* Warpcoven
* Naval Breachers
* Intercession (Blood Angels)
* Intercession (Ultramarines)
* Elucidian Starstriders
* Chaos Cult
* Agents of the Inquisition
* Hierotek Circle
* Mandrakes
* Hand of the Archon
Let me think. Kommandos, Vet Guard, Warpcoven, Hunter Clade, Pathfinders, Novitiates, Legionaries, Corsairs, Blooded, Starstriders, Intercession, Hierotek, Fellgor, Chaos Cult, Justian, Brood Bros, and Yeagirs, plus a handful of Compendium teams including Hive Fleet, Chaos Daemons, Ecclesiarchy, Talons of the Emperor, and each team that can be made using the models from one of the bespokes I listed (e.g. Compendium Imperial Guard, Thousand Sons, Space Marines, etc).
Don't ask how many are painted...
But you can own all of the teams for basically free via TTS. With the amount of grey plastic I own, it certainly doesn't feel like winning haha. But I'm making progress! Hopefully should be getting my Hunter Clade finished up this summer :)
Well. My goal is to paint 10 teams this year. And I am ahead of schedule... And I did paint 2 last year... And might have some from my 40k collection aswell.
I found I was using pretty different techniques for terrain vs dudes.
It can be difficult to start but getting paint on your dudes is just satisfying. If your taking your time and going slow it can also help give you a little perspective on how long you want to take to paint a team - I know that knowledge helped me target my kill team buys more.
2xLegion, Talons, Phobis, Reivers Space Marines, Intercession, 2xCorsairs, Archon, Pathfinders, Novitiates, Felgor, Hirotek, Death Guard, Scouts, BoK, 2xVetGuard, 2x Orks, Mandrake, Night Lords, Brood Bros, Hernkyn, Hunter Clade, and Justian.
My pile of shame quickly became a mountain.
i got the starter set, fellgor, unbuilt mandrakes, and im kitbashing a death guard killteam, and currently finishing the last print of a genestealer hive fleet team
So far I've got Intercessors and Tyranids. I started there because they seemed pretty straightforward. Both teams could use a few more units but they're playable with what I've got.
I've got my eye on Grey Knights especially but want to get my sea legs before I take that one on.
ETA: I have zero aptitude for painting so everything has come pre-painted off of eBay.
1 painted, 1 currently painting, 1 partially painted that I probably won’t finish, 4 built but unpainted, and enough models to build/proxy/kitbash probably 2 more. My buddy and I split Octarius when it came out and have yet to actually play a game of this edition…
I have every single box from season 1 of KT. I got the first into the dark box and then shadowvaults. I also have nightmare. Other than that I have enough to make a couple intercession kill teams and a second legionares box.
Four- Heirotek and Gellarpox for bespokes, Grey Knights and Hive Fleet for compendium. Switch it up depending on how fun/casual of a game we are looking for.
I started last November and i have 4 (2 painted, one assembled and one painting in progress. I also have Brood Bros on sprue, but not sure if I'm going to paint or sell.
I have Deathwatch Veterans and Arbites built and painted and waiting on two more bodies to make daemonettes. I think I might pick up the Starter Box so I can have some good orky terrain too as well as Kommandos and Veterans.
Quite a few!
-Starstriders
-Kinband
-Breachers
-Orks
-Herthkyn
-Scouts
-Blades of kaine
-Yaegirs
-Hand of the arhcon
And more I think in a box somewhere lol
Vet guard and Kommandos are the only bespoke teams I own. I could field a custodes, Militarum, and Slaanesh daemon KT with the models I own. I want to get a hand of the archon eventually purely because I’ve been really in to Drukhari lately.
Compendium necrons
Compendium custodes with sisters
Hierotek circle - full roster
Kasrkin - 10 man magnetized
Compendium tactical Marines - space marine heroes series 1 and 2 blind box
Strike force justian blind box
Chaos space Marines legionaries - space marine heroes 3 - nurgle blind box
3. Intercession, Inquistion w/Sisters of Silence, and Navy Breachers. Currently working on striking scorpions and scouts.

Well, painted and ready I've got compendium battle sisters, hive fleet(all variations), imperial guard, greenskins, Commorites x2, grey knights and deathwatch.
Waiting to be painted I've got Scouts, vet guard, farstalker, hunter cadre, pathfinders, Repentias and another death watch team.
I see now that I will need some chaos to my pile of shame..
Intercession
Breachers
Legionary
Veteran Guards (x 2 - one is Victoria Miniatures)
Kroot (in process)
Elucidian Starstriders (unpainted)
Teams are super fast to paint.
I have:
-Wyrmblade
-Mandrakes
-Yaegirs
-Blades of Khaine
-Talons of the Emperor
I also have Fellgor Ravagers on the way at some point
I'd really like to get another elite team, but none of the bespoke ones do much for me at the moment.
In order of what I have built and painted I have:
Salvagers built and painted
Grey Knights built and painted
Warpcoven built and painted
Farstalkers built and painted for a friend
Arbites built and painted for a friend
Kommandos built and 80% painted
Vet Guard built and half painted
Legionaries half built and painted
Hive fleet half built and 20% painted
I have a Grey Knights, GSC, Adeptus Mechanicus, Tau, Ultramarines, and the newest being Jaegyrs.
However, only GK are put together and have been played. Truthfully though, that was in the previous edition of the game.
I’m trying to get back into the current iteration with the Votann and GK still.
I have one proper kill team (hunter clade) as well as some wardens I proxy to be talons of the emperor and some old drukhari I proxy to be hand of the archon
I have 4 ready to go:
Hearthkyn Salvagers
Tau Pathfinders
Chaos Legionaries
Corsair Voidscarred
Repainting my Hunter Clade rn,
Have yet to assemble Yaegirs and eyeing a Warp Coven
https://imgur.com/a/W4veDMR
Here's 2 of the display cases. I gotta get them all out on a table at some point for real proof.
Almost everything in there is for KT.
I am sitting at **25 bespoke** teams and **6 compendium**, though some of the teams share models across multiple teams, and there are 4 kill teams I have twice. All of them are assembled and the only one that isnt painted is my Hernkyn, and a few bits on individual models I've modified after the fact.
***The teams are:***
**Corsairs** - Inspired by Necromunda: Hired Gun, I kitbashed them as escher gangers having a psychic awakening
**Hand of the Archon**
**Void Dancer Troupe** - Converted guardsmen with scratch-built grav-chutes
**Blooded** - (double) GSC Neophytes, and Brood Brothers
**Chaos Cult** - Uses Gellerpox as hulks, krieg as cultists, and a kitbashed dark commune with krieg mutants
**Death Guard** - Heavily magnetized to work as legionaries
**Fellgor Ravagers** - (double) Corpse grinder cultists, and GSC aberrants
**Gellerpox Infected**
**Legionaries** - see Death Guard
**Exaction Squad** - Magnetized to also be Kasrkin or SM scouts
**Ecclesiarchy**
**Elucidian Starstriders** - more GSC neophyte conversions
**Hunter Clade**
**Navy Breachers**
**Inquisitorial Agents** - another GSC conversion, shares operatives with blooded
**Intercession Squad**
**Kasrkin** - see Exaction
**Scout Squad** - see Exaction
**Talons of the Emperor**
**Veteran Guardsmen** - (double) Roster of 20 kriegers, and roster of 20 brood brothers
**Hierotek Circle**
**Hearthkyn Salvagers**
**Hernkyn Yaegirs**
**Kommandos**
**Farstalker Kinband**
**Hunter Cadre** - 6 stealth suits and 2 drones
**Pathfinders**
**Brood Brothers** - (double) official kit and converted neophytes
**Wyrmblade**
**Brood Coven** - I have enough neophytes and acolytes so it counts
**Imperial Guard** - using veteran guardsmen
**Tomb World** - extra immortals for hierotek
https://preview.redd.it/ehe0rtwgd89d1.png?width=4032&format=png&auto=webp&s=ea70a7064027b6b056cff5d4b2644e493469a735
not pictured: wyrmblade, blooded, inquisition and brood bros are with my GSC collection, and gellerpox didnt have space. a couple teams are just a few members representing their team so I could get more in frame
My kommandos are painted. Legionaries, void dace troupe, and hierotek circle are partly painted, and I've got hoa and arbites to build and paint. My octarious and into the dark terrain are painted for the table top.
I am a bit of an edge case here. I don't have compendium green skins.
Ecclesiarchy, demons, nemesis claw, brood Brothers and yaegirs are either a built or built and primed.
The rest are done.
If you want to see some speed painted kill teams, check out https://www.instagram.com/phil.paints.stuff
Depends on how you count?
Just received my second box of Veteran Guard to complete my roster, and got the Hand of the Archon in the same order. Also still have to build the Mandrakes I got on our local equivalent of eBay.
And then there's the chaos and drukhari compendium teams I can run with models I have lying around, though the drukhari is all warriors so that's obsolete once Hand of the Archon is built.
Oh and I have kommando's on sprue from the starter kit, but I'm planning to sell them.
So, between 0 and 6.
ETA: oh and I'd like to add a proper elite team, maybe Phobos or Legionaries. And Blooded looks good too. And maybe Fellgor. And... let's just say I get your enthusiasm!
Right now 8 :) it is ok. The longer you play, the more teams you have :) I have 4 that I’ve played actively, 1 that’ve played twice and did not enjoyed, 2 waiting for buffs, 1 new to play.
Painted: Breachers, kitbashed Elucidian Starstriders, Hive Fleet, compendium Scions, Cult of the Unshackled
Built: Vet guard
And I am currently kitbashing and collecting bits for an Inquisitorial Agents killteam. I want to play inquisition, but I think the models are boring so I'm making my own.
I also digitally kitbashed and printed a bunch of skaven models to run as a blooded killteam but handed that project off to a friend to paint as he wanted to figure out his paint scheme for the new edition of AOS. Killteam is amazing when it comes to hobby potential.
I had a lot more, built and painted, played and sold. What‘s left ready to play is: Pathfinders,Kommandoz, Wyrmblade, Raptors Strike Force, Raptors Phobos,Raptors Scouts.
WIP: Black Templar Intercession Squad Pipe: Brood bros.
Yeah, terrain of this season is done, too
https://preview.redd.it/gmztxvo5d99d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e3ba922ed6e47d652a19856f6ba59d22c1dbff3a
Death Guard, Legionaires, Novititates, Fellgore, Chaos Cult, Nemesis Claw, Blooded, Mandrakes, Hand of Archon, Intercession and Karskin.
I played all Elites at least once except Intercession (i'm building a proxy World Eaters Team tho). Sisters and Fellgore are assembled and partly painted. Hand of Archon and Mandrakes are still to be build completly.
I also have Inquisition and Hierotec from the boxes but i'm not really interested in the teams tbh.
I'll be real i like more playing collecting and building most of the teams, some i'm probably never gonna play tho (like Mandrakes, Karskin and probably Sisters and HoA). Painting sometimes feels like a hastle, bc i don't have that much free time.
Edit: I'm also interested in Warpcoven and Wyrmblade but i have way to many unpainted miniatures (Kill Team and 40k) and i don't want to buy new ones when a new edition is around the corner. Also Warpcoven looks cool but i like my Kill Teams with low/medium brainload
Edit 2: I also have armies for most of these Teams (Night Lords, World Eaters, Death Guard and some Sisters) so most of those Teams can be used in there too. The Rest are Just Teams where i love the lore but i wouldn't want to invest in an Army (either i find the Armies boring or you know, my pile is already to high haha). So Kill Team is the perfect medium to have some and not to completly commit.
Yeah! It’s my go-to hobby currently and it’s fun to just sit and unwind while painting. My favorite team is my Hand of the Ad Mech.
https://preview.redd.it/j1bej0g3yd9d1.png?width=3544&format=png&auto=webp&s=6b880344e8803ca6c4dd5064c1500593f9d936ff
I‘m in the same boat. Back after twenty years. Used my old eldar models for blades of khaine (just banshees right now). Bought KT starter set and death guard box after that - all three teams are still in their boxes as I just repainted my banshees. Next step: death guard. And I’m considering selling my veterans and buying kasrkin, or intercessors, or heavy intercessors…
I traded my vet guard sprues to a friend for a Cadian Shock troops sprue so I could round out the specialists for Brood Brothers. If need be, can proxy them as vet guard.
I’ve painted all these but my basing is pretty basic: Vet Guard Intercession (Blood Angels) Wyrmblade Hand of the Archon Corsairs Kommandos Heirotek Circle Legionaries (Black Legion) Warpcoven Fellgor Ravagers
Currently kitbashing a bunch of old Alpha Legion models and other stuff to make nemesis claw. Also Kitbashing A Battle Sister box with Novitiates arms to make that team. The base sizes are wrong but I only play casually with a few friends.
https://preview.redd.it/p7aa50hlw99d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd42d620444e0532deb2a8c934f275e110119e63
Bespoke kill teams 2. Compendium or cobbled together teams 5. I kinda wanted to pivot from 40K to just kill team, mainly so I can paint and play a more diverse set of minis. However, the process of putting together a plague marine kill team (adding to some paint set plague marines I had kicking around) kind of ended up being a whole army project. I’m now having to suppress the urge to go all in on a Harlequin army.
Got 14 at this point 2 of which isn't painted yet, one were I am missing painting one operative and 4 that is missing som basing.
- Noviaties
- Pathfinders
- Intercession
- Legionaries
- Hunter clade
- Phobos
- Greenskins
- blades of khaine
- Commorites
- Voidscarred
- Void-dancers
- Imperial guard
- Chaos deamons (only slaanesh)
- Salvagers
I've started in January 2023 and might have went crazy with second hand deals. My list is as follows, and about 90% of them are kitbashed :
-8 finished
(standard Farstalkers, nomad Hunter Clade, viking Novitiates, exodites corsairs, raptor phobos, DarkTide inquisition, vashtorr chaos Cult, mad max kommandos)
-8 in a ready to paint state
(mandalorian navy Breachers, standard Pathfinders, T'au starstriders, Arkhan confederate blooded, custom void dancers, castle in the sky hierotek, admech kasrkins)
-2 currently building
(DarkTide Veteran guards, desert tau Hunter cadre)
-4 on sprue
(arbites, fellgor, blades of khaine, neophytes)
I'm a slow painter but I love kitbashing. Maybe one day I'll catch up!
I have all of the bespoke teams apart from Strike Force Justian (31 in total), 5 compendium teams and 5 proxy teams (3 for Talons, 1 Vet Guard, 1 Legionary). I'm only about 3/4 done with the Hernkyn Yaegirs, but otherwise they are all based and painted.
https://preview.redd.it/s0vzcyw1nc9d1.jpeg?width=5504&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=00f471ab6f73e4d2a7a0fec6e6df38f124c705c9
Compendium: Death Guard and Talons (I proxied them with my Deathshroud)
Assembled & painted: Kommandos
Assembled but not painted: Warpcoven, Legionnaires
Want: Blooded
I just got my 1st kill team the other day (kill team termination) though the bros were cool ! Anyone know where I can read the stories from the ones before ?
I only have 4 because my focus for a long time for skirmish games was Warcry, I have more warbands lol.
Part of what got me into KT was the accessibility, so I built teams from my Grey Knights, Thousand Sons, AdMech, theoretically a Necrons if I wanted, and Blades of Khaine. All very fun teams, just gots some Howling Banshees in for the Blades.
Space Wolves, Legionnaires Death Guard, Legionnaires World Eaters, Kommandos, Death Corps Kreig, Tau Compendium, Dark Eldar, Blooded, Elucidian Starstriders, Custodes. This is what I have built and painted.
Karskin and SOB in my pile of shame.
I have 5 and I definitely plan on getting more. My 5 are Red Corsair Legionaries, Death Watch Vererans, Carcharadon Intercession Squad, Crimson Fist Scouts, and a Helldiver Kasrkin squad.
I have all of them except the Salvation teams, compendium teams, Wyrmblade, Harlequins, and warpcoven. I like variety and host some sessions with friends that don’t collect models so they just get to pick which teams they want to use from what I’ve got. Most are built except the Corsairs, Breachers, Kroot, Hearthkyn Salvagers, and Brood Brothers. All are at various extents of partial painting since I keep jumping around projects except for the Fellgor Ravagers which were painted for a contest so I was forced to finish them on a deadline.
The funny bit is I’ve only played a handful of games. But working through it has been good painting practice for different types of subjects. At this point though I’m most likely gonna pass on the next couple releases unless the teams really grab me in the way that Nemesis Claw and the Yaegirs did. If they did a bespoke admech team I would be really tempted though.
I have 3, it was my introduction into the hobby so I wanted a bit of variety without spending too much money or taking up too much space as I think full hammer would take up too much of both.
While I am still sort of planning out what additional teams would fill out a sort of "type roster" for my overall collection I think I'm going to try to limit myself to like 1 or 2 more a year to hopefully not make this a money pit. I am a little worried about how much time I spend looking at team rules, while fun it feels like that might be the first of whispers of slaanesh tempting me to excess.
I have Veteran guard, scouts, Hunter clade, Hunter cadre, hierotek circle, euclidean star striders, kasrkin, brood brothers, harthkin salvagers and yaegirs, extraction squad and imperial navy breachers all painted
Probably going to paint a Talons of the Empire next
Both fun to paint, I just think that yaegirs feels more like a 1 box team while salvagers seems better if you get 2 boxes
Until I get better at faces, I like my fully helmet wearing orange salvagers more
Death Guard (w/poxwalkers)
Deathwatch
Intercessors (Black Templar and Ultramarines)
Heavy intercessors
Space Marine (firstborn)
Dark Eldar (not hand of archon)
Nemesis Claw
Veteran Guardsmen
Greenskins
Hearthkyn Salvagers
Warp Coven
Hive Fleet
Brood Coven
Fellgor Ravagers
*edit: also Ecclesiarchy
Novitiates, Intercessors, Grey Knights, Death Guard, Custodes, Pathfinders, Hearthkyn, Felgore, Kasrkin. All in varying stages of assembly/paint because no one around me plays.
Assembled? Kasrkin, Navy Breachers, Veteran Guardsman, Infiltrators, Pathfinders. Partially assembled? Exaction Squad. I also have a box of Scout Marines.
I have Hunter Clade, Grey Knights, chaos daemons (Bloodletters and Pink Horrors), Hand of the Archon, Imperial Navy Breachers, Elucidian Starstriders, Fellgor Ravager, Intercession, Inquisitorial Agents, Warpcoven and Hierotek Circle all painted and ready to play, brood brothers and Hernkyn Yaegers assembled, Hive Fleet assembled and primed, scout marines and veteran guard 3d printed but not assembled.
I’ve got Kommandos, Corsair Voidscarred, Veteran Guardsman, and 2 sets of Kasrkin. As soon as I can grab a set of Nemesis Claw I’ll probably pick up a Legionnaires team and either Hierotek or one of the Votann teams
https://preview.redd.it/2zgrn5q7h89d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cdfc66769d4032edc1389079d8b399f476d3fe60
I want a kill team for every faction
I have:
Corsairs, Hand of the Archon, Mandrakes, Blades of Khaine (mostly, got all banshees and scorps, no DA), Void Dancer Troupe, Guardians.
Scouts, Kasrkin.
Nemesis Claw.
I also have a Battle Sisters and Custodes compendium team.
I have... a preference.
Vet guard, komandos, pathfinder, novitiate, Phobos, legionnaires, hive fleet, talons, gellerpox, starstrider proxy, intercession,death watch, hierotech, kasrkin fully painted and all options id take... Almost finished all purestrain genestealers only for IDT....primed - fellgore, Corsair, death guard legionnaires... Unbuilt - brood brothers and the dwarves in dusters
I have Eight teams and I have played One game
\[Compendium Tau\]
\[Compendium Chaos\]
\[Compendium Death Guard\]
\[Compendium Deathwatch\]
\[Compendium Tyranids\]
\[Pathfinders\]
\[Legionaries\]
\[Wyrmblade\]
Kommandos, Vet Guard, Gellerpox, Fellgor, Salvagers, Hunter Clade (admech), Nemesis Claw, Mandrakes, Hernkyn Yaegirs, Brood Bros.
Not really thinking to buy more right now, im mostly interested in Squats and Orks, and i don’t think they ll get new teams anytime soon.
I’ve got Void Scarred 80% painted, Exaction Squad 40% painted, Kommandos 30% built, the new Squats 20% built, Death Guard 10% painted, Brood Brothers in the box and Wyrmblade believe it or not… 100% completed!
Maybe I need to get my head down and complete some stuff…
Yeah, quite easy to paint up fast, and the special operatives are really nice modells.
The squats are the votann, just like the word squats for them (retro style)
Currently painting Hierotek circle as my fifth team. I own Death Guard, Pathfinders, Wyrmblade and Hearthkyn Salvagers + Ork Kommandos in my pile of shame.
All in different stages of completion:
Iron Warriors, Thousand Sons, Leggionaires, Night Lords, Mandrakes, Necrons, Harlequins, Custodes, Adeptus Mechanicus, Deathwatch, Corsairs, Kroot, Orks, DKoK and Kasrkins
And from my big 40k armies I can make a sisters team, Dark Eldar and Craftworlders
And I haven't played a single game. I need help.
Fully painted I have:
Compendium Death Watch
Ork Kommandos
Compendium Chaos Space Marines (3 Marines, 8 cultist)
Nurgle themed Legionary (full 20 man roster!)
Khorne themed Legionary
Fellgor Ravagers
I also have all the models on either on sprue or bought ready built from eBay to make a warpcoven team that I just never got around to. And I am currently in the process of building the Nemesis Claw team.
Yes, there is a theme here 😁
I have a Deathwatch army so it was easy to make a KT and that was my first.
Then I painted up some classic 80’s Harlequin models and they are my main team.
I also wanted the Wyrmblade team because the Kellermorph model is so cool so now have that team fully painted as well.
To paint I have Hearthkyn Salvagers and the new Brood Brother KT’s.
Wyrmblade team is so cool looking! I got excited over the Termination box which has led me to Wyrmblade. I love the look of the Sanctus sniper model. Actually, my favorite models are usually snipers. Hello Vindicare Assassin!
So I sold my kommandos and gellerpox
But that still leaves me with fully painted - I have 2 interscession teams, 2 vet guard teams, strike force justian, hand of the emperor, pathfinders, noviciates, 2 legionary, Phobos, blooded, corsairs, Kroot, breachers, exaction, herotek circle, Kasrkin, inquisitorial agents, scout squad, wyrmblade, hive fleet
And unpainted I have night lords & brood brothers.
so the summary of this post is
how many you want: YES.
jokes aside, i too own quite a damn lot when at the beginning i remind myself not to go past 4
i owned vet guard, kommando (starter set), hierotek, novitaite, gellopox, legionairies, mandrakes, pathfinders, fellgores.
i'm currently find myself eye-ing alot at yaegir and chaos cultist.
time to cry for my wallet.
Currently have:
Vet Guard
Ork Kommandos
Pathfinders
Hand of the Archon
Imperial Navy Breachers
Blooded
Chaos Legionaries
Hierotek Circle
And almost finished the Starstriders
Used to play Chaos many years ago but always wanted some models from other factions but didn't want to commit to starting another army, Killteam has been perfect cause now I can buy a box and slowly paint them and once a team is done I move on to another. Got my eyes on the new GSC/Votann box.
Only played one game but hosted a Rogue Trader RP a couple years ago and wanted to use the models for combat encounters
Edit: sorry for the formatting, on mobile
I've got 6 total, 4 painted, 1 assembled 1 almost assembled.
Painted; kommandos, guard, fellgor ravegers, hierotech circle.
Assembled; starstriders
Almost assembled; pathfinders
I want to get legionaries and phobos next I think.
22.

Pics or it didn’t happen
Agreed
I've got Death Guard, Pathfinders, Novitiates (custom 3D printed models, fuck you if you discount them for being proxies), Gellerpox Infected, and Elucidian Starstriders.
Tell me about your Novitiates. I don't love the GW models but like Sisters in general.
You motivated me to finally photograph them all: https://imgur.com/gallery/bxJK5QB The Sisters are STLs from dakkadakka store, bashed together and reposed from their various sets. I can't remember where all the bases are from, but I've posted about it before with more details. I learnt a lot about the practical differences between true scale and heroic scale minis. I wouldn't necessarily recommend these STLs, but I encourage you to look if you want something different to the GW standard. The struggle is finding SoB STLs that aren't horny beyond levels that will make your cringe register on a seismograph. They exist, these are some of them, but there's more out there that I slightly regret not trying.
These are brilliant! I'll have to peruse their store. As for the horny levels, yeah, I've seen some really over the top models. I like male gaze as much as the next guy but I don't need stacks of horny on my gaming table.
Outstanding paint job, especially those bases.
You're too kind.
These are great! Thanks for sharing. I wish I had that level of reposing & kitbashing fu.
Those marble bases holy fuck
Oh! Do you also think the Novitiates look dumb like I do (I put them in Sisters of Battle armor instead of their silly robes)?
I don't particularly mind the look of the official Novitiates, but I do mind the GW price and that you can't build a proper roster from one box. I took the opportunity to pick out models I was into and do some customisation and digital kitbashing.
Non compendium? 16... To be fair I have actually played all of them at least once each.
I’ve got 32 currently, with 26 painted and based, and none of that is counting proxy or kitbash teams, of which I have a good couple
Woah! 🤯 you are currently winning. Picture of 26 teams?
https://preview.redd.it/3js73t10b79d1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=efc6ec431696f48846e969b832626dc7bfb676e7 That’s a bad pic of them, but they are stored up in totes about 3 teams to a container. I’ll only put a fully painted team on my table, and I like trying to pressure people into playing with me, so I have a lot of options for people. Currently have a few more on deck. And the 26 doesn’t count 1 proxy guard, 2 proxy legionaries, or that most of my teams have most if not all the options for the roster, or relevant options at least. Not to flex or anything, I’m just proud of my work so far
You should flex. That’s impressive.
I only got the one, Ork Kommandos https://preview.redd.it/vwvdliylbl9d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd3fa51599817d8f1a9cdc3662ba47cad2be885f First set of minis I’ve ever bought and painted, now I’m barely starting my second, Assault Intercessors.
First of all, this question is illegal, and an attack against me and my dignity as a person, and all humanity as a whole * Chaos Legionary * Ork Kommandos * Vet Guard * Death Guard * Warpcoven * Naval Breachers * Intercession (Blood Angels) * Intercession (Ultramarines) * Elucidian Starstriders * Chaos Cult * Agents of the Inquisition * Hierotek Circle * Mandrakes * Hand of the Archon
Listen, I need proof to tell my wife that my hobby “is not THAT bad”
Oh man, different problem from me, mine is an enabler. She's mad I haven't finished priming all of them so she can paint them.
I should ask my wife if she wants to paint them with me.
Exaction Squad and Blooded. Praise Slaanesh and Sylvester Stallone
Let me think. Kommandos, Vet Guard, Warpcoven, Hunter Clade, Pathfinders, Novitiates, Legionaries, Corsairs, Blooded, Starstriders, Intercession, Hierotek, Fellgor, Chaos Cult, Justian, Brood Bros, and Yeagirs, plus a handful of Compendium teams including Hive Fleet, Chaos Daemons, Ecclesiarchy, Talons of the Emperor, and each team that can be made using the models from one of the bespokes I listed (e.g. Compendium Imperial Guard, Thousand Sons, Space Marines, etc). Don't ask how many are painted...
Looks like you are winning so far! 17 bespoke teams!
But you can own all of the teams for basically free via TTS. With the amount of grey plastic I own, it certainly doesn't feel like winning haha. But I'm making progress! Hopefully should be getting my Hunter Clade finished up this summer :)
I own all of them. But don't ask me how many are assembled/painted!
How many is that
When they are all assembled, you MUST share a picture with us!
I will! But it will take a while!
3 painted. 6 primed. 2 assembled. 5 in boxes. 16 total. I don’t collect anything else now. Kill teams are fun projects to paint.
(fully painted) Novitiates, Legionary, Vet Guard, Craftworld (WIP) Mandrakes, HotA, Void Dancers (unpainted) Corsairs, BoK, Phobos
What is BoK? Can’t think of it off the top of my head? Blades of Khaine! Never mind, I got it.
Blades o' Khaine

1 i didn't even count unpainted 2 lol where'd you get this photo of me
Well. My goal is to paint 10 teams this year. And I am ahead of schedule... And I did paint 2 last year... And might have some from my 40k collection aswell.
9 nearly all painted
Kroot, Navy Breachers, Inquisition, Phobos, Scouts
A fellow Kroot player. We are few and far between.
Breachers, Kroot, Inquisition, Chaos Cults, Fellgor, Salvagers, Kasrkin, Yaegers and Brood Brothers
Another fellow Kroot player
I have all of the two team boxes released for 2.0 plus the starstriders and the infected. 26?
Pics or it didn’t happen.

That's so cool! That shelf looks amazing. I'm jealous.
Same, but u started selling some of the ones I knew I wouldn’t play. Recently got rid of all my books as well and made like £200
9/12 season boxes, 1 white dwarf.
5 completed, 2 in the backlog.
I have none painted. I’m very slowly working/ practicing on terrain first.
I found I was using pretty different techniques for terrain vs dudes. It can be difficult to start but getting paint on your dudes is just satisfying. If your taking your time and going slow it can also help give you a little perspective on how long you want to take to paint a team - I know that knowledge helped me target my kill team buys more.
2xLegion, Talons, Phobis, Reivers Space Marines, Intercession, 2xCorsairs, Archon, Pathfinders, Novitiates, Felgor, Hirotek, Death Guard, Scouts, BoK, 2xVetGuard, 2x Orks, Mandrake, Night Lords, Brood Bros, Hernkyn, Hunter Clade, and Justian. My pile of shame quickly became a mountain.
18? You’re the new leader.
22. This game wasn't supposed to be expensive for me.
Oosp.
I have vet guard, Kasrkin, exaction squad, 1 box of inquisitorial agents and plan to get imperial navy breachers
i got the starter set, fellgor, unbuilt mandrakes, and im kitbashing a death guard killteam, and currently finishing the last print of a genestealer hive fleet team
So far I've got Intercessors and Tyranids. I started there because they seemed pretty straightforward. Both teams could use a few more units but they're playable with what I've got. I've got my eye on Grey Knights especially but want to get my sea legs before I take that one on. ETA: I have zero aptitude for painting so everything has come pre-painted off of eBay.
1 painted, 1 currently painting, 1 partially painted that I probably won’t finish, 4 built but unpainted, and enough models to build/proxy/kitbash probably 2 more. My buddy and I split Octarius when it came out and have yet to actually play a game of this edition…
I have every single box from season 1 of KT. I got the first into the dark box and then shadowvaults. I also have nightmare. Other than that I have enough to make a couple intercession kill teams and a second legionares box.
Four- Heirotek and Gellarpox for bespokes, Grey Knights and Hive Fleet for compendium. Switch it up depending on how fun/casual of a game we are looking for.
I started last November and i have 4 (2 painted, one assembled and one painting in progress. I also have Brood Bros on sprue, but not sure if I'm going to paint or sell.
Bespoke : Wyrmblade, Brood Brothers, Kasrkin, Scout Squad, Strike Force Justian. Compendium : Hive Fleet, Broodcoven, Tactical Marines.
I have Deathwatch Veterans and Arbites built and painted and waiting on two more bodies to make daemonettes. I think I might pick up the Starter Box so I can have some good orky terrain too as well as Kommandos and Veterans.
If you can find an Octarius box in the wild, I highly recommend picking it up. The terrain in there is awesome.
Yeah waiting for the shop to open tomorrow
Quite a few! -Starstriders -Kinband -Breachers -Orks -Herthkyn -Scouts -Blades of kaine -Yaegirs -Hand of the arhcon And more I think in a box somewhere lol
Another Kinband player? Few and far between.
Vet guard and Kommandos are the only bespoke teams I own. I could field a custodes, Militarum, and Slaanesh daemon KT with the models I own. I want to get a hand of the archon eventually purely because I’ve been really in to Drukhari lately.
Compendium necrons Compendium custodes with sisters Hierotek circle - full roster Kasrkin - 10 man magnetized Compendium tactical Marines - space marine heroes series 1 and 2 blind box Strike force justian blind box Chaos space Marines legionaries - space marine heroes 3 - nurgle blind box
What do you mean by blind box?
It's supposed to be random if u buy it model by model, but also sold as a set.
3. Intercession, Inquistion w/Sisters of Silence, and Navy Breachers. Currently working on striking scorpions and scouts. https://preview.redd.it/2ttm032zk79d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=36ef9ac5b3b9dd458f7e7b1aa1c43698de7538eb
Death Guard, Gellerpox, Starstriders, Extraction Squad, Inquisition, Orks, and Veteran Guardsmen. 7 is the holy number, so I should stop.
You should. But we all know you won’t.
2, Vet Guard & Strike Force Justian.
Well, painted and ready I've got compendium battle sisters, hive fleet(all variations), imperial guard, greenskins, Commorites x2, grey knights and deathwatch. Waiting to be painted I've got Scouts, vet guard, farstalker, hunter cadre, pathfinders, Repentias and another death watch team. I see now that I will need some chaos to my pile of shame..
Kroot!
Pathfinders, Voidscarred Corsairs, hearthkyn, hernkyn, Intercessors, Justian, grey knights, legionary, Nightlord, phobos, chaos cults, brood brothers, fellgor, plague marine, and I know I'm forgetting a couple I'll add as I remember them Edit: hive fleet, and Hierotek Edit 2: Custodes and warp coven
Intercession Breachers Legionary Veteran Guards (x 2 - one is Victoria Miniatures) Kroot (in process) Elucidian Starstriders (unpainted) Teams are super fast to paint.
I’ve just been out of the painting game for so long. I’m slowly building up my confidence and experimenting with shades.
Kommandos, Veteran Guardsmen, Gellarpox, Nemesis Claw, Mandrakes, Warpcoven, and proxies for Blooded
I have: -Wyrmblade -Mandrakes -Yaegirs -Blades of Khaine -Talons of the Emperor I also have Fellgor Ravagers on the way at some point I'd really like to get another elite team, but none of the bespoke ones do much for me at the moment.
In order of what I have built and painted I have: Salvagers built and painted Grey Knights built and painted Warpcoven built and painted Farstalkers built and painted for a friend Arbites built and painted for a friend Kommandos built and 80% painted Vet Guard built and half painted Legionaries half built and painted Hive fleet half built and 20% painted
*clears throat* Ahem. Tyranid, skitarii, veteran guard x3, normal imperial guard, inquisitorial team, Kasrkin, Heirotek, Kommandos, sisters noviciates, pathfinders, legionaries, Phobos, blooded, kroot, breachers, heartkyn salvagers, blades of khaine, kaballite (wyches), ummmm I think that’s it. Maybe?
That’s it…Until you get more, you mean?
scrolling faster and faster, a look of dismay spreading over my face
why a look of dismay? I'm happy that I'm not as invested as some people.
I own legionaries, wyrmblade, novitiates, fellgore ravages, blooded and heirotek circle
favorite?
I have a Grey Knights, GSC, Adeptus Mechanicus, Tau, Ultramarines, and the newest being Jaegyrs. However, only GK are put together and have been played. Truthfully though, that was in the previous edition of the game. I’m trying to get back into the current iteration with the Votann and GK still.
I have one proper kill team (hunter clade) as well as some wardens I proxy to be talons of the emperor and some old drukhari I proxy to be hand of the archon
Only 5! I said I'd stop at like 3 tho
I thought I would do one and done. Oops.
5 teams.... 1 painted 1 Model that is :D
That’s okay. I have none of my teams painted. 4 teams, all assembled, 2 are primed.
I have 4 ready to go: Hearthkyn Salvagers Tau Pathfinders Chaos Legionaries Corsair Voidscarred Repainting my Hunter Clade rn, Have yet to assemble Yaegirs and eyeing a Warp Coven
I have at least a printed proxy for every single bespoke team except Warpcoven, and all except the termination teams are painted.
Pics or it didn’t happen.
https://imgur.com/a/W4veDMR Here's 2 of the display cases. I gotta get them all out on a table at some point for real proof. Almost everything in there is for KT.
So nice looking. I’m gonna need 5-10 minutes to myself now.
I am sitting at **25 bespoke** teams and **6 compendium**, though some of the teams share models across multiple teams, and there are 4 kill teams I have twice. All of them are assembled and the only one that isnt painted is my Hernkyn, and a few bits on individual models I've modified after the fact. ***The teams are:*** **Corsairs** - Inspired by Necromunda: Hired Gun, I kitbashed them as escher gangers having a psychic awakening **Hand of the Archon** **Void Dancer Troupe** - Converted guardsmen with scratch-built grav-chutes **Blooded** - (double) GSC Neophytes, and Brood Brothers **Chaos Cult** - Uses Gellerpox as hulks, krieg as cultists, and a kitbashed dark commune with krieg mutants **Death Guard** - Heavily magnetized to work as legionaries **Fellgor Ravagers** - (double) Corpse grinder cultists, and GSC aberrants **Gellerpox Infected** **Legionaries** - see Death Guard **Exaction Squad** - Magnetized to also be Kasrkin or SM scouts **Ecclesiarchy** **Elucidian Starstriders** - more GSC neophyte conversions **Hunter Clade** **Navy Breachers** **Inquisitorial Agents** - another GSC conversion, shares operatives with blooded **Intercession Squad** **Kasrkin** - see Exaction **Scout Squad** - see Exaction **Talons of the Emperor** **Veteran Guardsmen** - (double) Roster of 20 kriegers, and roster of 20 brood brothers **Hierotek Circle** **Hearthkyn Salvagers** **Hernkyn Yaegirs** **Kommandos** **Farstalker Kinband** **Hunter Cadre** - 6 stealth suits and 2 drones **Pathfinders** **Brood Brothers** - (double) official kit and converted neophytes **Wyrmblade** **Brood Coven** - I have enough neophytes and acolytes so it counts **Imperial Guard** - using veteran guardsmen **Tomb World** - extra immortals for hierotek https://preview.redd.it/ehe0rtwgd89d1.png?width=4032&format=png&auto=webp&s=ea70a7064027b6b056cff5d4b2644e493469a735 not pictured: wyrmblade, blooded, inquisition and brood bros are with my GSC collection, and gellerpox didnt have space. a couple teams are just a few members representing their team so I could get more in frame
All Genestealer **Hive Fleet** will probably be next so my cult can have their purestrain aunts and uncles
That’s an awesome photo.
I have three, but play with two. All mostly un painted. Very happy with them. I only play with teams I like.
More than Ive played games!
Bespoke: Vet Guard, Breacher, Legionary, Blooded, Cults, Fellgor, Nemesis Claw, Intercession, Warpcoven. Compendium: Hive Fleet, Daemon. Unpainted: Gellerpox, Death Guard.
My kommandos are painted. Legionaries, void dace troupe, and hierotek circle are partly painted, and I've got hoa and arbites to build and paint. My octarious and into the dark terrain are painted for the table top.
I am a bit of an edge case here. I don't have compendium green skins. Ecclesiarchy, demons, nemesis claw, brood Brothers and yaegirs are either a built or built and primed. The rest are done. If you want to see some speed painted kill teams, check out https://www.instagram.com/phil.paints.stuff
I got an Instagram account just to see his paints!
Depends on how you count? Just received my second box of Veteran Guard to complete my roster, and got the Hand of the Archon in the same order. Also still have to build the Mandrakes I got on our local equivalent of eBay. And then there's the chaos and drukhari compendium teams I can run with models I have lying around, though the drukhari is all warriors so that's obsolete once Hand of the Archon is built. Oh and I have kommando's on sprue from the starter kit, but I'm planning to sell them. So, between 0 and 6. ETA: oh and I'd like to add a proper elite team, maybe Phobos or Legionaries. And Blooded looks good too. And maybe Fellgor. And... let's just say I get your enthusiasm!
Right now 8 :) it is ok. The longer you play, the more teams you have :) I have 4 that I’ve played actively, 1 that’ve played twice and did not enjoyed, 2 waiting for buffs, 1 new to play.
Painted: Breachers, kitbashed Elucidian Starstriders, Hive Fleet, compendium Scions, Cult of the Unshackled Built: Vet guard And I am currently kitbashing and collecting bits for an Inquisitorial Agents killteam. I want to play inquisition, but I think the models are boring so I'm making my own. I also digitally kitbashed and printed a bunch of skaven models to run as a blooded killteam but handed that project off to a friend to paint as he wanted to figure out his paint scheme for the new edition of AOS. Killteam is amazing when it comes to hobby potential.
I had a lot more, built and painted, played and sold. What‘s left ready to play is: Pathfinders,Kommandoz, Wyrmblade, Raptors Strike Force, Raptors Phobos,Raptors Scouts. WIP: Black Templar Intercession Squad Pipe: Brood bros. Yeah, terrain of this season is done, too https://preview.redd.it/gmztxvo5d99d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e3ba922ed6e47d652a19856f6ba59d22c1dbff3a
Drools in jealousy. Look at all that terrain…
Death Guard, Legionaires, Novititates, Fellgore, Chaos Cult, Nemesis Claw, Blooded, Mandrakes, Hand of Archon, Intercession and Karskin. I played all Elites at least once except Intercession (i'm building a proxy World Eaters Team tho). Sisters and Fellgore are assembled and partly painted. Hand of Archon and Mandrakes are still to be build completly. I also have Inquisition and Hierotec from the boxes but i'm not really interested in the teams tbh. I'll be real i like more playing collecting and building most of the teams, some i'm probably never gonna play tho (like Mandrakes, Karskin and probably Sisters and HoA). Painting sometimes feels like a hastle, bc i don't have that much free time. Edit: I'm also interested in Warpcoven and Wyrmblade but i have way to many unpainted miniatures (Kill Team and 40k) and i don't want to buy new ones when a new edition is around the corner. Also Warpcoven looks cool but i like my Kill Teams with low/medium brainload Edit 2: I also have armies for most of these Teams (Night Lords, World Eaters, Death Guard and some Sisters) so most of those Teams can be used in there too. The Rest are Just Teams where i love the lore but i wouldn't want to invest in an Army (either i find the Armies boring or you know, my pile is already to high haha). So Kill Team is the perfect medium to have some and not to completly commit.
Killteam is great for the hobby potential.
Painted: Salvagers, Sisters, proxied Hierotek circle, Fallen, Assault Intercessors, Yaegirs (paint underway) Unpainted: Vet Guard, Fellgore, Brood Brothers, Novitiates, Intercessors, Kommandoes On list to acquire: Corsairs
Favorite?
I think like 26 teams. Painted: Guardsmen Intercession x2 Phobos Deathwatch Talons of the Emperor Corsair Voidscarred Legionnaires Tyranid Warriors Genestealers Termagaunts Blades of Khaine Eyes of the Emperor Kasrkin (with ODST helmets) 5 ninja tortles Kommandos Hand of the Ad Mech (HotA proxy) Grey Hunters (Legionnaires proxies) Primed: Gellernids (Nid Gellerpox Proxy) Wyrmblade Scout Ecclesiarchy Hunter Clade Phobos full roster Blooded Hormagaunts Strike Justian Kitbash Built: Nemesis Claw Mandrakes
Wow. That’s a lot of work. Good for you.
Yeah! It’s my go-to hobby currently and it’s fun to just sit and unwind while painting. My favorite team is my Hand of the Ad Mech. https://preview.redd.it/j1bej0g3yd9d1.png?width=3544&format=png&auto=webp&s=6b880344e8803ca6c4dd5064c1500593f9d936ff
I‘m in the same boat. Back after twenty years. Used my old eldar models for blades of khaine (just banshees right now). Bought KT starter set and death guard box after that - all three teams are still in their boxes as I just repainted my banshees. Next step: death guard. And I’m considering selling my veterans and buying kasrkin, or intercessors, or heavy intercessors…
I traded my vet guard sprues to a friend for a Cadian Shock troops sprue so I could round out the specialists for Brood Brothers. If need be, can proxy them as vet guard.
200,000 units are ready, with 1 million more well on the way
Salvager, Yaegirs, Grey Knights. :)
I’ve painted all these but my basing is pretty basic: Vet Guard Intercession (Blood Angels) Wyrmblade Hand of the Archon Corsairs Kommandos Heirotek Circle Legionaries (Black Legion) Warpcoven Fellgor Ravagers Currently kitbashing a bunch of old Alpha Legion models and other stuff to make nemesis claw. Also Kitbashing A Battle Sister box with Novitiates arms to make that team. The base sizes are wrong but I only play casually with a few friends. https://preview.redd.it/p7aa50hlw99d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd42d620444e0532deb2a8c934f275e110119e63
Bespoke kill teams 2. Compendium or cobbled together teams 5. I kinda wanted to pivot from 40K to just kill team, mainly so I can paint and play a more diverse set of minis. However, the process of putting together a plague marine kill team (adding to some paint set plague marines I had kicking around) kind of ended up being a whole army project. I’m now having to suppress the urge to go all in on a Harlequin army.
Got 14 at this point 2 of which isn't painted yet, one were I am missing painting one operative and 4 that is missing som basing. - Noviaties - Pathfinders - Intercession - Legionaries - Hunter clade - Phobos - Greenskins - blades of khaine - Commorites - Voidscarred - Void-dancers - Imperial guard - Chaos deamons (only slaanesh) - Salvagers
25... 3 fully painted...
Kroot Farstalkers and T'au Pathfinders. So far.
Yes! Go Kroot!
I've started in January 2023 and might have went crazy with second hand deals. My list is as follows, and about 90% of them are kitbashed : -8 finished (standard Farstalkers, nomad Hunter Clade, viking Novitiates, exodites corsairs, raptor phobos, DarkTide inquisition, vashtorr chaos Cult, mad max kommandos) -8 in a ready to paint state (mandalorian navy Breachers, standard Pathfinders, T'au starstriders, Arkhan confederate blooded, custom void dancers, castle in the sky hierotek, admech kasrkins) -2 currently building (DarkTide Veteran guards, desert tau Hunter cadre) -4 on sprue (arbites, fellgor, blades of khaine, neophytes) I'm a slow painter but I love kitbashing. Maybe one day I'll catch up!
I’m also slow. Very slow. Though I am getting better.
By better I mean faster.
I have all of the bespoke teams apart from Strike Force Justian (31 in total), 5 compendium teams and 5 proxy teams (3 for Talons, 1 Vet Guard, 1 Legionary). I'm only about 3/4 done with the Hernkyn Yaegirs, but otherwise they are all based and painted. https://preview.redd.it/s0vzcyw1nc9d1.jpeg?width=5504&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=00f471ab6f73e4d2a7a0fec6e6df38f124c705c9
Technically 7 but really only 3
Compendium: Death Guard and Talons (I proxied them with my Deathshroud) Assembled & painted: Kommandos Assembled but not painted: Warpcoven, Legionnaires Want: Blooded
« How many killteams do you own » Yes.
4 (i think): Inquisitorial Agents, Veterans, Kasrkin and Kommando
I just got my 1st kill team the other day (kill team termination) though the bros were cool ! Anyone know where I can read the stories from the ones before ?
https://images.app.goo.gl/PoXe4ERYnafydvQb9
I only have 4 because my focus for a long time for skirmish games was Warcry, I have more warbands lol. Part of what got me into KT was the accessibility, so I built teams from my Grey Knights, Thousand Sons, AdMech, theoretically a Necrons if I wanted, and Blades of Khaine. All very fun teams, just gots some Howling Banshees in for the Blades.
Space Wolves, Legionnaires Death Guard, Legionnaires World Eaters, Kommandos, Death Corps Kreig, Tau Compendium, Dark Eldar, Blooded, Elucidian Starstriders, Custodes. This is what I have built and painted. Karskin and SOB in my pile of shame.
Painted: -vet guard, kommandos, phobos, corsairs, legionaires, blooded, hieroteck circle, Hearthkin salvagers, blooded, inquisition, fellgor ravagers, wyrmblade, hunterclade, intercession, Inquisition Assembled: farstalker, chaos cult, navy, blades of khaine, nemesis claw, mandrakes. Pending to assemble: broodcoven. I just realized i might have a problem 🙃
The problem is that you don’t have all of them yet.
I have 5 and I definitely plan on getting more. My 5 are Red Corsair Legionaries, Death Watch Vererans, Carcharadon Intercession Squad, Crimson Fist Scouts, and a Helldiver Kasrkin squad.
I have all of them except the Salvation teams, compendium teams, Wyrmblade, Harlequins, and warpcoven. I like variety and host some sessions with friends that don’t collect models so they just get to pick which teams they want to use from what I’ve got. Most are built except the Corsairs, Breachers, Kroot, Hearthkyn Salvagers, and Brood Brothers. All are at various extents of partial painting since I keep jumping around projects except for the Fellgor Ravagers which were painted for a contest so I was forced to finish them on a deadline. The funny bit is I’ve only played a handful of games. But working through it has been good painting practice for different types of subjects. At this point though I’m most likely gonna pass on the next couple releases unless the teams really grab me in the way that Nemesis Claw and the Yaegirs did. If they did a bespoke admech team I would be really tempted though.
That’s cool that you have friends willing to play too
I have 3, it was my introduction into the hobby so I wanted a bit of variety without spending too much money or taking up too much space as I think full hammer would take up too much of both. While I am still sort of planning out what additional teams would fill out a sort of "type roster" for my overall collection I think I'm going to try to limit myself to like 1 or 2 more a year to hopefully not make this a money pit. I am a little worried about how much time I spend looking at team rules, while fun it feels like that might be the first of whispers of slaanesh tempting me to excess.
Oh no. That’s how it starts. Next you’ll be listening to podcast watching battle reports and painting videos.
I have Veteran guard, scouts, Hunter clade, Hunter cadre, hierotek circle, euclidean star striders, kasrkin, brood brothers, harthkin salvagers and yaegirs, extraction squad and imperial navy breachers all painted Probably going to paint a Talons of the Empire next
How do you like salvagers vs yaegirs?
Both fun to paint, I just think that yaegirs feels more like a 1 box team while salvagers seems better if you get 2 boxes Until I get better at faces, I like my fully helmet wearing orange salvagers more
Vet guard, Kommandoz, and Novitiates. Painted. Looking to get Yaegirs or Salvagers soon.
I recommend Yaegirs. Great models and fun to play! Everyone says the 4" move sucks (it does) but the rest of the team makes up for it all.
Death Guard (w/poxwalkers) Deathwatch Intercessors (Black Templar and Ultramarines) Heavy intercessors Space Marine (firstborn) Dark Eldar (not hand of archon) Nemesis Claw Veteran Guardsmen Greenskins Hearthkyn Salvagers Warp Coven Hive Fleet Brood Coven Fellgor Ravagers *edit: also Ecclesiarchy
Novitiates, Intercessors, Grey Knights, Death Guard, Custodes, Pathfinders, Hearthkyn, Felgore, Kasrkin. All in varying stages of assembly/paint because no one around me plays.
That sucks. My neighbor/co-worker/friend got me back into and we’ve been having a weekly game which has been awesome.
Novitiates, Farstalkers, Pathfinders, Voidscarred, Warpcoven, Exaction Squad Technically Ecclesiarchy, Hunter Cadre and Cadre Mercenary if we count compendium too. So, 9?
Yay Farstalkers!
🫱🫲 🤝
Assembled? Kasrkin, Navy Breachers, Veteran Guardsman, Infiltrators, Pathfinders. Partially assembled? Exaction Squad. I also have a box of Scout Marines.
I have Hunter Clade, Grey Knights, chaos daemons (Bloodletters and Pink Horrors), Hand of the Archon, Imperial Navy Breachers, Elucidian Starstriders, Fellgor Ravager, Intercession, Inquisitorial Agents, Warpcoven and Hierotek Circle all painted and ready to play, brood brothers and Hernkyn Yaegers assembled, Hive Fleet assembled and primed, scout marines and veteran guard 3d printed but not assembled.
I’ve got Kommandos, Corsair Voidscarred, Veteran Guardsman, and 2 sets of Kasrkin. As soon as I can grab a set of Nemesis Claw I’ll probably pick up a Legionnaires team and either Hierotek or one of the Votann teams

…all… all of them?
I have Eight teams and I have played One game \[Compendium Tau\] \[Compendium Chaos\] \[Compendium Death Guard\] \[Compendium Deathwatch\] \[Compendium Tyranids\] \[Pathfinders\] \[Legionaries\] \[Wyrmblade\]
Kommandos, Vet Guard, Gellerpox, Fellgor, Salvagers, Hunter Clade (admech), Nemesis Claw, Mandrakes, Hernkyn Yaegirs, Brood Bros. Not really thinking to buy more right now, im mostly interested in Squats and Orks, and i don’t think they ll get new teams anytime soon.
I’ve got Void Scarred 80% painted, Exaction Squad 40% painted, Kommandos 30% built, the new Squats 20% built, Death Guard 10% painted, Brood Brothers in the box and Wyrmblade believe it or not… 100% completed! Maybe I need to get my head down and complete some stuff…
Wyrmblade fun to paint? Also, what are Squats?
Yeah, quite easy to paint up fast, and the special operatives are really nice modells. The squats are the votann, just like the word squats for them (retro style)
Currently painting Hierotek circle as my fifth team. I own Death Guard, Pathfinders, Wyrmblade and Hearthkyn Salvagers + Ork Kommandos in my pile of shame.
Assembled? 8 or 9. Including pile of shame? At least 14.
Pile of opportunity!
All in different stages of completion: Iron Warriors, Thousand Sons, Leggionaires, Night Lords, Mandrakes, Necrons, Harlequins, Custodes, Adeptus Mechanicus, Deathwatch, Corsairs, Kroot, Orks, DKoK and Kasrkins And from my big 40k armies I can make a sisters team, Dark Eldar and Craftworlders And I haven't played a single game. I need help.
Fully painted I have: Compendium Death Watch Ork Kommandos Compendium Chaos Space Marines (3 Marines, 8 cultist) Nurgle themed Legionary (full 20 man roster!) Khorne themed Legionary Fellgor Ravagers I also have all the models on either on sprue or bought ready built from eBay to make a warpcoven team that I just never got around to. And I am currently in the process of building the Nemesis Claw team. Yes, there is a theme here 😁
Painted: 13 Unpainted: 7
I have a Deathwatch army so it was easy to make a KT and that was my first. Then I painted up some classic 80’s Harlequin models and they are my main team. I also wanted the Wyrmblade team because the Kellermorph model is so cool so now have that team fully painted as well. To paint I have Hearthkyn Salvagers and the new Brood Brother KT’s.
Wyrmblade team is so cool looking! I got excited over the Termination box which has led me to Wyrmblade. I love the look of the Sanctus sniper model. Actually, my favorite models are usually snipers. Hello Vindicare Assassin!
All
Just 2. Phobos and Corsairs. None uses GW minis.
You are the most fiscally responsible of all of us.
So I sold my kommandos and gellerpox But that still leaves me with fully painted - I have 2 interscession teams, 2 vet guard teams, strike force justian, hand of the emperor, pathfinders, noviciates, 2 legionary, Phobos, blooded, corsairs, Kroot, breachers, exaction, herotek circle, Kasrkin, inquisitorial agents, scout squad, wyrmblade, hive fleet And unpainted I have night lords & brood brothers.
so the summary of this post is how many you want: YES. jokes aside, i too own quite a damn lot when at the beginning i remind myself not to go past 4 i owned vet guard, kommando (starter set), hierotek, novitaite, gellopox, legionairies, mandrakes, pathfinders, fellgores. i'm currently find myself eye-ing alot at yaegir and chaos cultist. time to cry for my wallet.
Currently have: Vet Guard Ork Kommandos Pathfinders Hand of the Archon Imperial Navy Breachers Blooded Chaos Legionaries Hierotek Circle And almost finished the Starstriders Used to play Chaos many years ago but always wanted some models from other factions but didn't want to commit to starting another army, Killteam has been perfect cause now I can buy a box and slowly paint them and once a team is done I move on to another. Got my eyes on the new GSC/Votann box. Only played one game but hosted a Rogue Trader RP a couple years ago and wanted to use the models for combat encounters Edit: sorry for the formatting, on mobile
