Kill Team has probably been my favourite thing GamesWorkshop has released since I got back into the hobby. It's given me loads of opportunities to put more detail into individual models and start collecting armies I only want a small amount of!
This is my
I plan on slowly adding to them, probably next with some Reivers as they're cool models and I'd love some proper close combat models. However I'm going to wait for the Space Wolves codex to come out next weekend before buying any models!
I've also had a great time coming up with fluff for the Kill Team, below is all the backstory and character information about them:
Backstory:
After hearing a distress call, a 20 man squad of Grey Hunters is sent out from The Fang to investigate. They find the Space Wolves’ ship orbiting an unknown planet. As soon as they entered the ship they’re attacked but a large Tyranid horde. After the fight all communication and guidance systems were destroyed leaving them on a collision course to the unknown planet.
Mission:
Having crash landed on the seemingly deserted planet, the group of 7 start searching for other surviving members of the squad and a means back to Fenris. Only to find they aren’t as alone as they think they are.
Quirk:
The Xenos fight has brought the primal wolf spirit out in each warrior. Turning them into blood thirsty beasts who’ll stop at nothing to survive.
Bjorn Thunderfist - Sergeant, Leader
Son of the now famous Ragnar Blackmaine. First time leading as a Sergeant. He’s already proved himself as a vicious warrior winning many battles as a Grey Hunter.
Henrik Firebourne - Gunner, Plasma, Sniper
Having once turned down the offer of sergeant to instead stick with a special weapons team, Henrik is an expert with everything plasma.
Ranek Icewalker - Ammunition, Comms
Always ready with a spare clip, hailing from the remotest ice plains of Fenris, Ranek has a fondness for all types of ammo.
Lars Frostclaw - Grenadier, Demolitions
When all else fails, blow it up. One grenade away from blowing himself up, Lars has become famous amongst the ranks for his impressive explosions.
Floki The Trickster - Recon, Grey Hunter
Known for his slight of hand and quick trickery. Floki, supposedly a descendent of the trickster god Loki, is a master of reconnaissance. Able to traverse any terrain unseen by the enemy.
Hengist Ironside - Grey Hunter
The youngest and least experienced of the group, this is Hengist’s first missions as a Grey Hunter. But as one of the most vicious Blood Claws, he’s not to be under estimated.
Ulf the Wild - Grey Hunter
A harden Grey Hunter, Ulf has seen many battles and is known to let the wolf spirit take control of him maybe a little too much.
Sven Dragonblood - Gunner, Flamer, Demolitions (lost survivor)
Legend has it that the Dragonbloods once tamed the mythical beasts long ago, which explains their love for fire.
