Can this please be a weekly thing. KT is fun and waaaaay more affordable than 40k proper.

As someone that is just getting into Warhammer 40k because of kill team . I am so happy that my favorite Warhammer channel is finally giving it a go. Cannot wait to see what they think about the new box that just came out.

6:00 I believe you can fight in conceal, just not charge, which is what makes the Orcs charge in conceal so good.

Tonite on POT Gear: James shines his head to blind the audience, Nick's lack of crisis suits sends him into a crisis and JT, Tak and Steve fuse their forms together in what can only be described as ''unspeakable''

James doing his sneaky smile before the 'WAAAGH' reminded me a lot of Gowron. Same energy.

James is a man after my own heart. Hand painted orks. NONE O' DEM WONKY 'UMIE KULLA SPITTAZ.

9:08 - the plasma gunner was more than circle beyond the heavy cover (the oil rig) between him and the rocket boy, and should not have been available as a target due to being obscured. LoS is a tricky rule to get around to start with, but it makes sense in no time. Glad to see some Kill Team content on the channel though, keep it coming! :D

Next game don't forget the wounded penalty's to movement WS and BS when a operative is below half hit points. Love that you guys finally got around to the new Kill Team, its such a great game, and extremely brutal damage output. Keep up the good work!

This is the Kill Team content the people wanted and needed !

Finally some kill team! Easily the best way to play in the 40k universe

Great game! I've been waiting for it for a long time. However, I see a lot of mistakes here. It's one of your first games, isn't it? Some notes: - At the start of the game, you give Orders to operatives right after you deploy them, not after both players finished deploying. I.e. the Attacker will see the Defender's Orders. - I see you skipped Equipment, Tac Ops, Barricades, and Scouting steps. These are pretty important for the game, though I can see wanting to keep first games simpler. Keep them in mind in the future though, it adds a lot of fun to the game! - On the first turn, I'm pretty sure Plasma would be Obscured from Rokkit since the oil pump in the middle is heavy and is right between them. The same goes for Vet Sniper shooting into Rokkit. It's a bit complicated mechanic, but important for the game balance. - You have mistaken how AP works in Kill Team. Unlike in 40k, here AP reduces Defense (i.e. how many dice you throw for saves), not the save characteristic. Ork Nob in the end would still save at his 4+, but throw only 2 dice. - And a bonus point. I can't tell from the game whether you know it or not, but it's a common point to miss, so I'll throw it here just in case. Vantage Point only cancels Conceal if the target is behind Light terrain; if it gets Cover from Heavy terrain, you still can't shoot it. But overall, I really liked this game. Can't wait for more!

One thing I love about the channel is how the distance shots really show we don’t need top tier display level paint jobs for a army or kill team to look amazing. Speed paint/contrast jobs or dipped/dry brushed paint jobs still show off.

Loving the return to Kill Team! A small thing though, models in conceal can still fight, despite not being able to charge. So if a concealed model is charged, they're still able to fight on their activation (assuming they weren't killed). The core book specifies fighting can only be done in engagement range, it does not say a model has to be in the engage order to do so (as it specifies with shooting).

I've been waiting for this since the start of the new edition!

Man, this was SO great!! I’ve always loved GW’s skirmish games more than their full war games. I was a little sad Kill Team Challenger was no more, but this is just as great. Amazing job, team!! Hope this is as regular as the 40k in 40 minutes series!

Seriously the editing, sound mixing, photography, it's SO fucking impressive

Guys, this is great. Love to see your killer production quality tackling Kill Team, it’s a great game and I’m excited to see where you guys take this. Hope you’re having fun playing it!

Mortal wounds on the sniper rifles happen immediately, those sixs push through their mortal wounds to the targets before saves even happen. It makes snipers extremely dangerous if they roll well. "In Death, Atonement," it's a great tactical ploy to use on your guys that haven't activated, especially if they have some untapped punch. If your plasma gunner gets dakka'd down before he gets a chance to take his activation, use that stratagem. Take your plasma gun stand him back up, over charge him and blast something. He goes down after his activation still but at least you get some use out of it and it really makes your opponent respect your guys a bit more. Ideally you down someone before they go, but if you do that, they get a chance to take their turn. Using it to take or activate an objective, plant a banner, and or shoot something is incredibly valuable especially as they don't count as injured for it. Also, I strongly recommend bringing your spotter, his mortar barrage is silent and can do a boat load of damage, it's a free asset to bring and you can keep him in conceal the entire time. Put him high up on a vantage point in conceal and you can bomb stuff the entire game hitting any opportunistic groups. This is particularly good on the first round if your opponent is playing cagey, it can force them to split their forces or suffer the steel rain. Additionally, you can pair up your spotter with your sniper, and the spotter can activate your sniper and treat an enemy model of your choice as having an engage order allowing you to snipe them off. It can really catch someone off guard when their supposedly concealed leader gets capped.

This has to be my favorite batrep you have done on the channel yet. I love Kill Team more than any other tabletop game and you guys did it such incredible justice.

So many angles and editing. Thanks for such high quality videos! It makes getting into the game so much clearer for newbies such as myself and my 5 others buds who pulled me into the hobby with them this last year.

26:24 that's a really cool shot, with only the slugga sticking out of the shadows.

Glad you're doing this, KT is my fav GW game right now so I'll take as many of these as I can get!

Really cool video!!! Would love to see you guys do more of this in the future. Anton already pointed out a lot of corrections, but there are a few more that I noticed. 12:22 Comms Boy can only give the extra APL to a model that is visible to him, so he couldn't have given it to that model from behind that wall. 19:28 All models can perform a fight action while concealed, not just the Orks. It usually doesn't come up because most armies need an Engage order to charge, but it's really helpful because if you're already in engagement range you can have your model with a conceal order kill the enemy it was already engaged with, and then stay concealed behind the cover it moves behind. 23:52 The Veteran Guardsman Tactical Assets specify that you use them "when you would activate a ready friendly operative" meaning that you need to have at least one veteran that hasn't been activated in order to use it. Nick couldn't have used the airstrike normally because he was out of activations, and he also couldn't have used it to overwatch. You guys have already been getting a lot of corrections, so I'm sorry if it's starting to seem like dogpiling. Kill Team has a lot of little finnicky rules, and it's really easy to get tripped up if you're not looking for them. I hope this doesn't discourage you all from making more Kill Team content in future, because the production value you guys have is phenomenal and it's so much fun to watch you all play

Great episode, never considered Kill Team till I watched this. Now ordered It

Wow, the production quality and clarity of play makes this such a joy to watch.

This is wicked! It’s so good to see more kill team channels. There was a few mistakes others have brought up already, but I’m really eager to see more of this even after the series ends!

Absolutely loved this video and am really hoping that this will be a long running series.

I'm loving this I honestly like Kill Team more than regular 40k but still I enjoy all the episodes that come out

Man these are so well produced! And since they are naturally shorter, it feels like there is less skipping! Please make this a consistent thing, I love it!

Super happy to see Kill Team back! Love the new edition and loved your previous content, looking forward to a great season!

Kill Team is my favourite GW game at the moment and I am so glad you're showcasing the game. Well played on Krieg Nick's end... If only the Ork Nob had 'Just a Scratch' Available!

Glad we're getting to see some Kill team here. Thank you!

Great start, gents! Can't wait to see the rest. Has my legionnaires itching for battle!

GG. Finally Tau Nick has seen the Heresy of his ways and has become Guard Nick, excellent. Those Ork Kommandos look awesome, Great Paint Job too. Kriegers always are cool to see.

Love seeing you play the new edition! I see a few other commentators have picked up some mistakes, but at the end the Nob was injured so would of been hitting on 3's. not 2's. Would love to see Tac Ops/secondaries included in games going forward. Great stuff!

Huge fan of these guys. Huge fan of army painter. Really like this channel.

awesome batrep, awesome sponsor, awesome work, awesome competitors. And 40k views in (a little over) 40,000 seconds. I hope this video absolutely BLOWS UP.

It's great to see how much you guys have grown! From 1.4k when I started watching to 200k+🥳🥳🥳 always great watching you guys

Awesome game and great production quality. Keep the KT BR's coming. Would love to see some Novitiate play in the future

soooooooo glad to see kill team come back to the channel!!!

This is crazy! I was just thinking about getting into the hobby through the kill team octarius set and wanted to see it on the table! Thank you Play On!

This channel has increased their production quality so much (from already being great) and I'm here for the variety of different games. It makes me happy to see you all doing well. Cheers

This is some of your best content. Love how friendly and causal the players are

Love it! Just got into kill team like a month ago and played my fussy game Tuesday

New killteam is pretty interesting! Also I love Steve telling me things.

I really enjoyed this even though I'm unfamiliar with kill team. I think a lot of viewers might appriciate a slightly longer format game or two just to get a bit more familiar with the rules!

Oh god, i died when the vocals came in with the "pray to the emperor real hard" , also the cut out at the Waagh. Such amazing audio editing on this episode, whoever did it. Also thanks a bunch for whoever decided to add a Music Credits at the end. I always love the song choices in these games.

One thing I really hope for is a Triarch Pretorian kill team box, they're such a cool unit in the Necron lore, and could be equipped with any such weapons.

What an ending, what a game! This could easily have made for an animated short story or something similar. Good stuff!

Probably one of the best 40K tabletop videos I've ever seen. Top notch.

Hope to see the new kill team sets soon or even the using the terrain from the into the dark box

Love seeing kill team on the channel again! Pretty good match for a first go! You guys did forget the "sidequests" though (tac ops cards) since those might be more "scinematic" and achievable goals for you guys they might be good. and to a lesser extent, how to determine who starts the first turn (the 123 triangle thing with an extra barricade, a dash, or being able to change one order) Aditional tip, might also want to display key team stat info, stuff like "special dudes left" and "% of army still alive" those usually give a good idea if a team is trouble or not.

Really fun! Very much looking forward to the rest of the series. Really happy to see Killteam, Conquest and Legion in addition to 40k on Play On :) You guys rock!

Sweet!! Awesome to see some killteam content again, loving it!

Just started playing Kill Team. Another great match guys. Thanks!

very cool battle report. loved the editing and small rules explanation inserts. also, both players did a good job explaining their actions just enough to make it easy to follow without slowing things down too much. pls do more!

So happy to see you guys playing this game! And wow wow wow that was a agressive deployment

As someone that just discovered "the Hobby" last year at 45 and only in the last few months has learned of, tried and played Kill Team twice I have to say thank you! I love your videos that have taught me so much.

Wow what a great intro to the series. I cannot express how excited I am now to play another game of Kill Team! Bring on more KT in 30mins!

Not sure if it was for dramatic effect but I was concerned James wasn't going to call the WAAAGH!! It wouldn't have been right Also as someone who wants to get into playing 40k games but feels like the bigger game is daunting seeing this made me more excited about kill team and excited to give it a try :)

Honestly, the only reason I watch this channel is for Kill Team. Its awesome!

I have always wondered about Kill Team. Thanks for the video.

Great bat rep. More kill team content please!

Might want to clarify next time, but conceal orders don't prevent models from fighting, just charging and shooting. So you won't be able to *fight* on your turn, since you have to charge to get into engagement distance, but you can still technically *fight back* if a model has charged your operative.

First time seeing an actual table top game of 40k! This was really good!

First kill team battle report I’ve watched and it looks like a lot of fun. Reminds me of a condensed game of legion with the action points doing 2 actions and the alternating activations

Love kill team and seeing the players having a great time!

Steves narration and rules commentary was excellence, thank you

Unless there’s an FAQ on it, I think conceal only stops charging and shooting, not fighting as an action. So in the case of a concealed model that gets charged, he can still fight as an action on his turn without having to switch to an engage order.

Liked the reference to shifty powers, a guy I served with was related to him. He told me some of the stories his family knew, very amazing person.

Awesome enjoyed a lot. I think you guys forgot about how characters wear down. If they're under half wounds they get -1 to hit.

Really enjoying the Kill Team match. I like the explanations of rules and moves as well. GJ.

Glad to see ya'll getting into the new edition of Kill team

Nick playing guardsmen?!? Now this is something I have always wanted to see!

Hey guys, 6.10 when explaining Conceal you say that you can't charge fight or shoot. You can fight from concealed. It just requires that you are already in engagement range or you have some ability to reach it like the orks throat slitters or locus quicksilver strike.

What an awesome game and I’m so glad I found you guys!!!

This looks super fun and I hope you'll do more of these after this series. It makes me think I'll give Kill Team a go soon. The new Blooded look awesome.

YES. So glad to see this back.

I really like the sportsmanship shown in this game. Very nice.

This is kinda nice. I have been missing Kill Team Challenger!!

Loving it, would love more kill team plays in future!

I bought the speed painting kit because of this episode. You guys are my heroes, keep it up!

Wow that was a great game right down to the end. Thank you

Always save that 1 CP for just a scratch! Would have changed the game!

This is super fun, like what I wish watching sports were like. Looking forward to (hopefully) more kill team! Also, love the positive & good natured play.

Seeing Army Painter as the sponsor, I know some people have been crapping on them for years... but their paints have always worked for me! Fun times and at a reasonable price too. Good enough for me

This is so rad thank you for adding kill team to the channel again.As a hobby-er with little time for my passion, kill team has been an amazing way to get into table top war games as an adult. 40K is very appealing to me but I don’t have the time to paint my collection, read endless rules etc unlike kill team. so it means a lot to me that you cover this game! I think it is much more inviting to an average joe like myself

Love the game, though I hope you guys play with secondaries. They really add another layer to a game of killteam, especially since drawing secondaries is sort of random and you get to hide them from your opponent until it's your time to shine.

recently discovered your channel and this video decided me to grab the kill team starter set! I really enjoyed the vibe during the game plus one player wearing a NOFX tshirt is nice :)

The paint jobs on these models are crazy good! Gonna have to look into this paint set as my brush skills are less than perfect

Wow, that was really fun to watch! Great game Nick and James!

This was a very enjoyable video and battle report! Subscribed

This was an amazing watch,I'm just starting/learning kill team..this gets me really hyped to finish painting my kommandos & pathfinders teams 😁

I think the comms guy for the guard couldn’t have charged and fought since it costs him 1 apl to relay the orders to everyone on the team. If he didn’t do that then not everyone would get the order - only those within pentagon of the sgt (or leader). I think generally you announce whether that happens or not during the strategy phase and reduce his apl accordingly.

So happy to see killteam return!! Im so excited to see more!!!

Glad to see you've added KT back. Can't wait to see more videos.

YEESSSSS! At last thank you!!! Great game, I’m looking forward to seeing the other teams we saw.

I’d love to see more kill team content in my feed! Its my favorite way to play 40k right now

Love the kill team games! Grey knights next maybe!?!

Loved it! Keep them Blood Axe content coming!
