Just an editing note, it would've really elevated the visuals if you'd cut in some transitions with b roll footage of the killteams as you were talking about them and transition back to the wide shot as you close out the review of the killteam. It would do a ton for audience engagement in terms of the visuals. Otherwise fantastic videos guys, keep them coming

Viewer Service If you happen to be impatient, here are the teams with their final scores. The video is still a great watch, I'd recommend watching the entirety of it! 1:05 - Void-dancer Troupe - 14/20 3:39 - Hierotek Circle - 14/20 5:17 - Phobos Strike Team - 15/20 6:34 - Blooded - 17/20 8:06 - Farstalker Kinband - 16/20 9:40 - Kommandos - 12/20 11:31 - Elucidian Starstriders - 17/20* 13:29 - Imperial Navy Breachers - 12/20 15:16 - Novitiates - 13/20 17:32 - Corsair Voidscarred - 18/20 *Initially had 18 points, but had 1 point deducted around 15:35 Keep up the good work, you two!

Great video as always - like the focus on fun rather than meta etc

I loved the navis breachers but then when I painted the kroot I fell in love with

This is the absolute first time...I've ever seen a Kikkoman soy sauce shirt. You boys are true pioneers. The video was top tier as well.

Can't wait for the updated version!

I wish you'd gone through all the teams. it'd be fun to see if any of the "less fun" teams ended up with a surprisingly high score or good discussion.

I really enjoyed this video. I couldn't care less about win rates or competitive stuff; in the end its all about fun. Your perspective was really cool to hear. Now I want to go and buy more kill teams lol.

Loved this video and the approach you took to evaluating each team ❤

I loved this video and your personalities, bringing real fun- I've played only Phobos so far but I LOVE their playability and their ability to reward you the deeper you go. They are also fragile so your opponent feels like they can win at anytime

Also thank you guys for sharing your games and growing the hobby ❤

Fun video, I LOVED IT and would love to see more styles like this

My top 3. 1) phobos 2) corsairs 3) starstriders

When we did our ‘funnest killteams’ on the Once upon a killteam podcast Kommandos were by far the most voted. I appreciate they have some feel bads to play against. Great vid!

This a cool idea for a video. Hope to see more teams in that format!

Fun video really liked the format

I love the farstalker kinband, one of my favorite kill teams to play, especially with how difficult it can get to play it with correct positioning and use of abilities, especially for someone new to the game like me! Though while I've played some teams already, I have to say I've got in my top favorite the hearthkyn salvagers, they don't feel particularly strong to play but I love focusing on security missions for lots of points with them, stole a victory by one point with them! I'm currently waiting to get my warpcoven models, I hope they'll be really cool, but I'd definitely get the starstriders next, especially since you placed them above the kroots I just have to play them! Also, I have to agree with the kommandos' placement, but I love playing against them for one single reason... My sister plays them and she does perfect roleplay as an ork commanding her troops, which is so absolutely funny even if she melts me every time 😂

Those are some great picks. I love playing exaction squad and legionaries

This is an awesome topic idea

Love fun videos like this. I have played one game with my Kasrkin so far so I can understand how the dice fixing could be a feels bad. But at the same time, that team feels very predictable specifically because it's just fixing attacks (vs the Novitiates for example) so it can be really easy to predict the minimum damage output they're going to get on you each time. Also every time a large amount of points is used to save a situation, they're really hurting themselves for later activations. It's so sad to hear that my Kommandos are a feel bad! I play mostly open with my friends, and we've had some crazy games. I just love the random quirkyness of the team, especially the bomb squig potential to completely destroy something (maybe myself, which is also hilarious). They usually win by a decent margin in our games. They're such a great team at playing the mission, but I don't abuse things like multiple forward deploy. I like having the extra Kommando Boy from the last buff they got, but honestly if they just take that back away I think people would be happy, and I wouldn't mind at all. It used to be a big decision to choose either 2 Boyz or Grot and Squig. Played my Corsairs against a friends Legionaires, open map. He was basically just picking up that team for the first time, and I was playing my new Corsairs that I had really studied up on. Poor map design funneled all his elites together, turn 1 first activation I killed his heavy gunner with my gunner, then free dashed to safety. Second activation I used the sorcerer to slow a melee elite in the front of his group. The game was basically over for him at this point. He was down a massive operative, I'd crippled his melee operative, and the rest of his team couldn't even get around the pile ups and poor map design (on my part). It was a major feel bad game for him. Basically it felt like I had an operative specifically built for every situation, and the speed to do almost anything I could think of. Very cool team, surprising to hear they're not a feel bad to play against, but I'll take it! I have to share a feel bad of mine that I haven't cracked yet. Playing a 2APL team into Warp Coven..... the movement debuff that my Corsair Sorcerer used to cripple that death guard melee operative, except that movement debuff is on my ENTIRE team..... it's a nightmare! Open map 2APL it feels almost impossible to play against, even with a fairly dense terrain layout.

Absolutely love your content guys. As a Kill Team fan and hobbyist, it's great to see folks playing the game for fun. I would love to play against you at some point, but being in the UK, seems like a pipe dream. Keep it up.

Thank you for sharing.

I've learned to not underestimate the killiness of the Farstalker Kinband when played right, they're easily one of my favorite teams ever.

now this is some top tier kill team content, i'm not biased because i commissioned a corsair team a month ago, its arriving soon!

Great video!!! 👏💪🍻

I’m with you on novitiates hobby. I painted them up and was just bored by the time I was done. Thought about stripping rhe paint but just left it. Great video guys!

Hard disagree on the starstriders, only in so far as I've recently finished a set and I loved painting all the fiddly little details! That said, I think that speaks to your point about them being 5/5 for hobby, because they're a kit you can paint to exactly your own tastes and basically always have them look good. In a lot of ways I didn't really follow the box art either.

Definitely feel Hierotek for a super fun team to play that just puts opponents on tilt. Non of my local group is happy when I pull out my self rezzing Androids and their Krak-Grenade beams.

great video , my list , Kommandos , Phobos , Hand of the Archon .

Just bought Heirotek circle and I’m super excited to paint my first warhammer figures. Bought them because they are one of the easiest to paint but also cool lore and decent team to play as though much more interested in painting and lore right now. If it goes well I will consider buying a second kill team. I’m thinking Hearthkyn. Also considering which army to start collecting, maybe necrons, maybe a space marine chapter. The hard part is that it’s such a large commitment and I want to invest in more than one army but have to narrow it down to one.

Omg babe wake up, mountainside uploaded a new vid!

Love this. I want to know your thoughts on Gellarpox!

This is a very cool top 10

When I see Void Dancers on table, I just want to say "I give up! You win, good bye!" - not that I have no chance wining, but how awful it's to play against them. They have no regards for basic game rules. "Oh, I go through walls", "No you can not shoot me", "I rolled a 6 on one of my 5 dices, so you die", "I don't like results of our melee rolls - we don't fight, I go behind this wall", "you know, I now earn 2 CPs per round" To much of this x__x - it's like playing with 8yr old who just jumps with toy solders around and yells how he kills everything with his uber weapons.

YUSS!! "Most Fun" lists are the best lists!

Would be nice to hear your take on Compendium kill teams (even though they are not dedicated "competitive" Kill Team with unique dodads).

I can't pass up Ork Kommandos right now, at least until they give me a Blood Axe detachment for 40k. Great video!

My top 3 1. Pirate elves 2. ✨ striders 3. Sneaky gits

Love Corsairs too!

Victor being a Jays fan is an instant subscribe. As is the video quality.

Not what I said expected but it's still a good video. Yay!

Glad you shared the correct way to reveal on rock paper scissors, most important part of the video.

Great video! Have a sub!

I should pick up Novitiates. I am always the player that rolls a bunch of ones. One time I was hitting on threes with 5 attacks. And I rolled 4 ones.

would have enjoyed seeing the teams as you described them. just starting and couldn't find teams you were referring to.

I was not expecting corsairs to be on top, but yeah I love playing them too even though I suck with them and they all die turn 1

I really Wana see ya guys play Hearthkyn. I know they are "bad" but they look fun to me.

i had to google most team to know what you are talking about :')

Sad my Hierotek Circle wasn't higher or that any compendium teams made the list, but all in all, great stuff.

when your talking about the teams , should of show an image of the box and some one playing with them on the table and skills on what they do.

Blooded is my #1 fav to play. You kill something? You get a blooded token! Get killed? You get a blooded token! Also the best tac. In the game YOU CAN SHOOT YOUR OWN GUY 😂 Then there's some hilarious operatives a cannibal, grenadier that blows up upon death I love em.

Please, more reports with Farstalker Kinband in open terrain 😍😍

Good chat video guys

Would love to see a Warcry followup...

Man, I'm working on painting the legionnaires because the reddit said they are so fun and they don't even get mentioned here. FeelsBadManWithABolter

Can you guys show a paint tutorial on your Thousand Sons? I really like the alt color scheme

yep

N1 Video. Thanks.

poor Kasrkin they need love on this channel

Can't say the Phobos take is very simpleminded make a guy unhelmented and dude can be any sort of vanguard marine you want all you need is a knife and bolt pistol and everyone has those things around. Or you can trade for the bits with someone collecting marines. My phobos team is space wolves and they fill whatever role I want since have no helments. Now about mahnetizing someteams are easier than others, like intercessors are easy but novitiates not quite so, the poses are vsstly different for it to work.

Fun discussion. You guys are lucky to have each other for regular gaming. Enjoy it while it lasts. Don't get burned out on cranking out content. One bit of unsolicited feedback, I don't think it's necessary to stare at the camera for these. Part of the fun is the banter between you two. Probably would work better if you talked at each other. Keep up the good work.

Thoughts on Hunter Clade? How would you guys rate them? I'm looking for 2 teams to pick up for a doubles tournament and paint and lore them up and loved your list, super helpful. Im curious about this team bc my brother likes the asthetic and it fits into a couple different lore options we have cooked up.

12:09 "I think they're fun, as long as you ignore the box art" I can only agree as I squeeze my third layer of Thunderhawk blue into this fucking armpit.

Nice

What would you guys rate as the best teams for mental load? IE, simplest to play? Sounds like The Blooded might feature here. Anything else? How about a Tau all-Stealth Suit crew? ;-)

Corsairs make it hard to play other teams, they have a little bit of everything and they’re so fun to play.

Damn I wanted report today so much but this was fun :) Thank you

I enjoy the longer videos

Honestly I could have watched you talk about every single team this way. How about just a walk through all the teams in each season and ranking them like this? 3 videos?

My favourite team to play is orcs all day, paint orcs all day, play against i mean shoot orcs are still great. Only thing I don’t like is them being too charts, I don’t like playing S class teams at home with buds

Taking a break from studying Power BI to watch this video. Let's hear it, boys.

Dont know how you would like this but it would be cool if you guys did a "salt" tournament where you pit the game's meanest teams against eachother either in an actual games or just how you did it in this video . I nominate pathfinder, wyrmblade, gellerpox pre-de-buff, inquisition, and novitiates.

Great video, would have been nice to see pictures of the Kill team you are discussing instead of looking at your mugs....lol.

1. Blooded 2. Gellerpox 3. Salvagers

Sad you guys don't play Kommandos , the sculpts are awesome and they're very fun. And it's cool that an Ork Killteam is one of the best contrary to wh 40k.

Hell yeah corsairs babyyyy

Long live corsairs. Speed is life

I agree with this scientifically derived list, 10/10 no notes 👍

Can we get this for Warcry ? I don’t play kill team and would love to get more warcry videos from you guys ❤️

For me: 1st place - Corsairs all the way

Veteran guardsman - where?

Visualization would up the Production Value and Followability much more

Corsair best team lets gooo

if hunter clade isnt here i will be very upset

No montage in the background to look at while you talk about them?

Death Guard.

I fully agree with the Novitiates summary. Having played 3 or so games against a friend, myself with Chaos Legionaries, on an Open board and I can also say... Dice fixing sucks... Unlimited range pistols on every operative, sucks... The Condemnor's silenced weapon is a ball ache to fight against, especially when you can just fix for crits... And the auto-chastiser on the plasma, every goddam game so she essentially cannot miss 😶 They're definitely not impossible to beat but my god, it make for a tense and frustrating game, in this specific match-up. Not a fun fight at all

I give starstriders a 5/5. They all get their own little color like power rangers

👍

definitely need visuals for who your talking about

I gotta say, with your recent foray into Shatterpoint, I'd love to see you guys give the new Marvel Crisis Protocol starter set a try. You make some of the best batreps out there and I think you'd really like MCP.

Even though I don't exist, I have to pop into existence say for me Kinbad was not fun to play against Death Guard. Ok byebye **poof**

Chaos Cult, Vet Guard, Legionaries 😢

Now for the rest?

Kommandos all the way. most flavorful; most fun >: ) and a joy to paint IMO; building always sucks for me; so that didnt factor in but I get what Brad was saying.

12 days no Brad or Vic.. you guys alright??

No new vid in 8 days!? You guys alright???

Am I missing something or did you guys skip grey knights and traitor marines?

Yo jays hat nice are you dudes Canadian?
