Kill Teams

April 1st 2012
Kill Team Rules:

Point Max: 200

Force Org :
0-1Elite
0-2Troops
0-1Fast Attack

++ No HQ or Heavy Support selections
++ No Vehicles
++ No Multi Wound Models

You must take units as legal squads, not just individual models. They can be equipped or upgraded normally.

You may select 3 specialists. Pick 3 models in your force and you can assign them a special rule from the 40K Rule book (Fearless, Tank Hunter, Feel No Pain, Acute Senses, etc….). A rule can only be used once in your army, you have to pick three separate rules.

All models can move independently and are each considered an individual model, much like independent characters.
Movement: is as normal, 2d6 for difficult terrain. Models that end their turn within 2 inches of another model will be considered “In Coherency” with those models.
Shooting: Normally one model shoots at an individual model. If your model has more than 1 ranged attack, it may target multiple targets IF those targets are In Coherency (within 2 inches) of each other.
Leadership: The armies leadership is equal to the highest leadership model in your army still on the table at the beginning of the turn.

Retreat Value: This number is equal to one quarter (normally this is half but with the number of people playing I’m lowering it. And I’ll evaluate the rule after the first game.) of your army count in number of models, rounded down. Once you are at this value, your army must make a leadership check at the start of each turn. If you fail this roll, your army will tactically retreat from the battlefield. This means that you’ve lost the game (but you can still shoot as you running as normal). Once your army is at one quarter or less models, you must take this test. Each subsequent turn, this test is made at a cumulative -1 modifier. So the next turn you take this roll is -1, and the third turn it is -2, and so on.

The Game:Every man for himself and everyone plays at the same time. So it should be a pretty wild fight. Before each game names will be drawn out of a cup/bag/container and that will be your enemy for that game. Next you will draw out a mission. There will also be bonus objectives that will give you points.
The board will be a heavy urban setup so it will be a lot of buildings.
Winning:The games will be scored via Kill Points. We will tally up all the points on a white board as we go. There will be a winner for each game but the player with the highest kill points for all three will be the winner of the event.
Prizes:This is a free event that is designed to get people out and having a good time so it’s more for fun. But, the winner will get free entrance into the next 40K Tourney (which is normally $10.00).
Dave and I will be playing as we don’t want to miss all the fun. But if one of us should win we will pass the prize on to the person with the next highest total.
Players will also be able to pass as well, if you think you won’t be in the next Tourney or just want to be nice and pass you are welcome to. But, the prize goes to the person with the next highest total. You can not give it to someone else.
