Some Resolution Progress

In partial fulfillment of my hobby goals for 2020, I joined a local Kill Team league. I don’t anticipate being able to play the full schedule of games, but I’ve gotten one in so far, and it was incredibly fun and reminded me why I got so obsessed with Kill Team in the first place.

I have resolved to play Astra Militarum until I’m decent with them. Well, I have a ways to go yet, but I certainly did better than my first two outings–as I texted a friend after the game, I’d gone “from salty embarrassment to mere failure!” So, progress! Steps in the correct direction! I even got a decent little story out of the game, which was the Disrupt Supply Lines mission, versus Tau: Karsk, my Medic specialist, was a total MVP, shooting up the Tempestor with Stimms so he could punch drones out of the sky, and then dashing towards an occupied building to burn an objective–all the while being shot at by Tau! My Comms specialist, Kolson, wasn’t so lucky, getting blown off his feet by a sniper shot and succumbing to his wounds in the Casualty Roll.

But Kolson’s death presented me with a fun opportunity to modify Karsk: I took a Servo Skull from the Tempestor Prime, filed the top of it down so I could put a Guardsman helmet on it, and then replaced the attached brazier with a speaker from an extra vox-caster. So now Guardsman Kolson serves the Emperor by broadcasting tips on health and hygiene and assisting Karsk with field surgeries. Here’s a picture:

I’ve had a great time with the league so far, and I can’t wait to see what horrible deaths modeling opportunities the next missions afford me!
