I haven't gotten around to painting the past few days. Kids have been waking up in the middle of the night and NOT GOING BACK TO SLEEP! So I have been too exhausted. I may try tonight but my youngest fell asleep way earlier than usual so I may just go to bed in anticipation for her were-wolf transformation when the moon is full.
I did want to mention something else about 30K that you all may not be aware of. There is a special mission type called "Zone Mortalis." It is meant to simulate either a space ship boarding action, an assault inside a bunker system, or in some sort of fortified tunnel. You have an attacker and defender. The attackers get 1 more elite slot available but no heavy option and the defender gets one more heavy but no fast attack.
You set up a board kind of like kill team but with rooms and corridors. The attacker deploys on one side with their units (representing the hull breach, boarding torpedo, sewer system, etc, they are entering from) and since this is suppose to be unknown ground for them, the defender deploys on a piece of paper where his units are on the map (they're hidden from the attacker). When the attacker breaches or opens a door that room is then revealed and the defender puts their models there. It allows the attacker to set up ambushes and the attacker needs to prepare themselves for whatever may come. Neither side can have transports, vehicles, or walkers bigger than a 60mm base (since they wouldn't be able to get through a bulkhead). So just infantry models, more or less. And no squad can be bigger than 15 models. Its meant to be a fast and brutal game (usually on a 4x4 board).
Here's a 1d4chan article that explains it in more detail:
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Zone_MortalisIt may be a fun way to play smaller games while you're still building an army or learning the game. I also imagine it would be fun in 40K with imperials of all kinds clearing out cults (either chaotic, tyrannic, or mundane) in the underhive or assaulting a ship to capture someone or kill something (Dark Angels Fallen anyone?). Its like a step up from kill team and different or smaller than a regular game.
Edit: Oh, also this is where breacher squads (Like a space marine tactical squad but they all have big riot shields) really shine.
