Warhammer 40k Kill Team Advice

[Celticbear]

I decided to finally pick up the "new" kill team rules and a couple of Harlequins since I always loved their fluff but kinda didn't like playing them. Anyway, I built up a listing that seemed relatively decent to me that adds up perfectly to 100 for battle forged, but I want second opinions on it, maybe some ways to make it better.

Spoiler: Battle Roster

Show

KILL TEAM
1 Player (Leader Level One, H. Kiss, Fusion Pistol) 19 pts

1 Player (Veteran Level Three, Practised, Survivor, Neuro Disruptor, H. Caress) 25 pts
1 Player (Zealot Level Two, Flagellant, Frenzied, H. Caress, Neuro Disruptor) 21 pts
1 Player (Comms Level 1, Neuro Disruptor, H. Embrace) 16 pts

There's not much more that you can do with Harlequins, to be honest. They have so few options available and their base costs are so high that while I would recommend trying to take a 6th player if possible, I'm really not sure how you'd squeeze them in.

The only thing that I can really suggest is that you currently have 4 Specialists, plus your Leader. If you're playing a typical game ("Battle-forged") then you're only allowed 3 plus your Leader, so check with your opponents to make sure what is expected of you in that respect.

Personally I don't think you *need* a Level 3 Veteran - as I said above, several decent models tend to be more effective than one really good one - but once more I'm not sure what else you'd spend the points on, since it won't equate to another Player.

You have reached the point when you just need to play a few games and see what works, I think, and react accordingly.

to follow up about Battle-forged, you also can only have level one specialists in matched play.

That was not known to me. In the only game of kill team I've played, we just grabbed random models and chunked levels on them. Then again it was kind of "We've never played KT before, we should try it" though not all people are casual. If not, all I have to do is shrug off levels, and pull out an extra player.
