Kill Team in 5th ed ?
my son keeps bugging me to play a Kill Team game with him but I am not sure how to proceed?
1) Does anybody play kill team in 5th ed?
2) If so, what house rules do you use or do you simply refer back the the 4th edition rules for composition, etc.
3) Do you use Army Builder to make a legal Kill Team roster?

I use Necromunda rules. Generally we play 0-1 HQ and as many squads as you can fit into 500pts. No elites, fast attack or heavy support.

There is the "official" Battle Missions Kill Team. Personally, I think it too heavily favors large groups of shooters.
At my flgs, we do play Kill Team based games, based loosely on the 4th edition ruleset. We have taken to a few basics that never change.
Determine a player point size.
Players pick any infantry or jump infantry unit. No bikes, no MCs, no vehicles. You may also wish to disallow characters and "loner" models like the Assassins.
Purchase additional models for the unit. Also, purchase additional models from any other unit that would be eligible.
Purchase any upgrades for any full units you have accumulated.
Purchase upgrades for any models that are not part of full units. These models can only take upgrades available to every model in the unit they were purchased from.
Example: I have 200 points. I purchase a squad of Space Marines and a plasma gun. I also bring along 2 scouts. I can buy the scouts both camo cloaks, but not a Missile Launcher because camo is available to all scouts, but missile launchers are only one per squad.

kill team
HM = do you use the necromunda HTH rules (2nd ed 40k hth) or 5th ed 40k rules?
thanks for the input everyone

I use Necromunda rules in their entirety, except for model selection and wargear.
Basically, I play Necromunda with a squad of Space Marines/Orks/hormagaunts/whatever in place of the gangs.

There are a couple of homebrew rule sets for Kill Team.
This looks like but they are still working on it.

You do have to register to see the download section with the rules.
I think this is the better option.

I just use the old 4th edition rules, though I usually make exceptions to the armor rules to allow Dreadnoughts.

Intgeresting ideas. After recently reading Kill team and seeing the Kill team rules in the 4th ed hardcover rulebook, I was wondering how to play that with 5th. Good to see people still like to do something different (like kill team) with 40k
