I'm working on a test model for a Sororitas kill team and, since I like making problems for myself, I decided to give her robes inspired by those worn by certain high-ranking monks of the Orthodox church. I'm sure it'll look fine eventually.
Latest one of my little freaks completed. This is the chieftain heading up the band, based on the chaos cultist leader from the old Dark Vengeance box set with an IG officer power arm and a necromunda Orlock (or possibly Van Saar, I forget) ganger head swap. Two weeks to go until I take them to a Kill Team tournament and 3 more operatives to paint!!!
The toughest trench fighters in the Imperium come from @qsycomplainsalot 's homeworld, France! Printed on clear vinyl, they can either be used as one long sticker, or easily separated with scissors or a hobby knife into individual guys.
I played a game of Killteam against a friend of mine recently, both of us being very new to it, and I think one of the best things about 40k Orks is that even if you don't really know what you're doing from a gameplay/strategy perspective you can still feel like you're playing your faction correctly if you just pick the "orkiest" option available at all times.
Is running out of cover and into the firing line of multiple genestealer cult operatives purely because there was an enemy within charge range a smart idea? Probably not. Would an Ork do it anyway? Absolutely.
Genestealer cult operative, confidently taking the objective knowing that he is protected by 3 other operatives with guns trained on the point
This creepy guy is from my Drukhari Kill Team. I noticed looking at the photo the end of his gun had broken! Luckily , found it stuck it the carry case foam. All fixed now 😁
"A squad of our engineers went missing last night. Their... replacements went looking for them in the old mining district."
"Where they found the missing guardsmen, yes?"
"Indeed. And their killers, right before they fled down the mine shaft."
"We believe they are heretics, and they must be doing something vile down there. I want to make sure they all die trying."
"They will do just that, and nothing else, commissar. You have my word."
"I humbly ask permission to personally accompany you below with a squad of my best, lord."
"No. The Voices will purge the mines on our own. There are lost relics deep within these mines which we, too, desire. Too sacred to us to allow the uninitiated eyes of your vat-grown soldiers to look upon them."
"I... Then what would you have me do, lord?"
"Patiently wait for our return, commissar. You can notify the lady Inquisitor in my stead, while you are at it."

First bit of a developing Kill Team narrative campaign
The events in these short lore posts will be based on the outcomes of a series of grudge matches between the Voices of Favor and their greatest enemies: heretics of all shapes and sizes
