Later this week we are kicking off a little narrative campaign - that I'd originally planned to do with Kill Team, but am now thinking smaller games of 40K might work better.
Elements of 2nd Platoon, B Company, 5th Necromundan Regiment
Lt. Duane Naismith (as Company Commander)
Commissar Abba Biafra
Command Squad
Veteran Squad
This could be a Vanguard detachment in 40K:
HQ (1-2)
1x Company Commander (Power Level 2)
Elites (3-6)
1x Commissar (Power Level 2)
1x Command Squad (Power Level 2)
1x Veteran Squad (Power Level 5)
Total Power Level: 11
Might not be a viable force in the #New40K - the Command Points you get are based on the level of the game - but then you have to PAY for your detachments out of those Command Points. the idea is to discourage "soup" armies - forces with lots of different detachments from different factions to use their different special abilities in some sort of combination. It looks like SOME detachments give a Command Point "bonus" equal to the cost of the detachment if it includes your Warlord (basically a refund on your core detachment) - but that's Patrol and Battalion Detachments (and, presumably, Brigade Detachments) - all the detachments whose basic requirements are TROOPS. Haven't seen how much the other detachments (Vanguard, Outrider, Spearhead, etc) are going to be... Of course... I guess this only matters if you're worried about matched play, which I give exactly zero fucks at all about these days...
Coming Soon to Tim's Miniature Wargaming Blog:
A couple more Imperial Fist Scouts and an introduction for our little Narrative 40K campaign we'll be playing over the next month or so!

Great start to your new army! Well,come on a small force for 40k,not a kill team anymore, sounds like a back door army to me!

Ha! Thanks Iain!
DeleteI am loathe to buy any more Imperial Guard.
Though, I have to admit, I was briefly thinking of chucking all the Cadians into a Simple Green bath and stripping all of their paint off and repainting them as Necromundans!?
