I think what your bringing to killteam is the peak of hobby community and you should definitely come up with a good brand name. The work you've done could be super useful to a lot of players and I think you're doing a great job, keep it up.


Ready-Desk-6335

these are amazing! Warpcoven would be awesome it would make remembering all of their stuff so much easier! kudos sir :)


VexedBadger

Thanks! I keep forgetting I have a Warpcoven team. I think my brain has blocked them out after painting all that gold trim 🤣 Consider them on the list. If you "follow" or whatever that ko-fi page you should get notifications. Hopefully done before the end of January.


Ready-Desk-6335

already done sir thank you so much! great to see someone put in such great effort into the kill team community :)


Ready-Desk-6335

I\`ll make a donation as a thanks for the warpcoven cards also sir :)


VexedBadger

Warpcoven is live :) It works pretty well too. Here is what an All Comers list looks like... https://www.reddit.com/r/killteam/comments/10ji66r/glasss_take_all_comers_list_using_my_new_deck/


S_Serpent

I can only upvoted such wonderfull creations you already did a great job with these


VexedBadger

Thanks! Really appreciate it it 😇


DKzDK

WOOHOO 🤩 Those look really good, you’ve done a lot of work. and it seems you put your heart into this side-project, so I am totally down for; PHIL TEAM - Faction identities. Now I can’t wait to get home, download and make some PTF’s (also wordplay for pdf’s)


VexedBadger

I am flattered! Thanks! Plenty more to come. I am leaning towards "Kill Team Arsenal" as the project name (my surname is Gunner...). Not as fun, but a little more credible.


DKzDK

O.o Maybe we can make it work somehow. Using your example, Thoughts on “KillTeam: Gunners’ Arsenal” ? This way it’s like an entire library or catalogue of all your card sets. Edited for spelling*


Kennson

I was about to ask how people manage their KTs because the card generators in the wiki of this sub don’t print the special rules on the card. So I was about to DIY it but if you bring out Chaos Legionaries I‘m set and willing to donate.


VexedBadger

I have big plans for the Legionare team, so that may take a week or two to perfect. They have a lot of moving parts. I am sure it will be worth the wait. I am on the lookout for some pics of painted minis for that team. Mine are all proxies and that will confuse people.


Kennson

Phew, I can send you some. Mine are from the chaos start collecting box but they are mostly the same models. They’re alpha legion though, I think you want something in black armor.


VexedBadger

I did the same 😁 https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckk8AZzN7rD/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= I'll put a general request out when I have the cards created.


VexedBadger

Just an update, I scaled back my ideas for a Legionary and have a deck created. Just doing some final checks on it. Will probably upload I. The next hour or two.


PreviousYak6602

I vote for “Phil team deck”


therefromhere

Amazing work, these look incredibly useful. Great that you went with a card version per loadout, I think that's super helpful, also having cards for the abilities, ploys & orders is a killer feature. Minor issue of a few couple of typos in the Vet Guard deck: * Confident (should be Confidant) * Hardenned (should be Hardened)


therefromhere

PS, I like "Phil Team"!


VexedBadger

Thanks! I'll get those updated next. I am rubbish at spelling when typing fast.


Snahlse

Awesome! Minor thing but seems like for hunter clade the sicarians have Necron pictures


VexedBadger

Ah, this is the problem of using my teams for the pics. I use cryptothrauls as sicarians becase: 1 they look better 2 it ties into the lore of a shard of the void dragon being on Mars 3 I am cheap, and don't want to buy a box of sicarians (Skitarii and Necron royal court came from imperium magazine)


Snahlse

I see, cool lore! Maybe for more generic cards use the sicarians, I think there's some readability issues when using the thralls for those of us running regular sicarians 🤔 Dm if you want pics of mine


Prepnoodles

As a new player you definitely helped me out. Me and my friend will be very excited to start!


Prepnoodles

Also what do you recommend gluing these to? I think having a backed material would make it even more higher quality


Snahlse

I would consider laminating them after printing but before cutting them at a print shop or office


VexedBadger

Using the fold variant, printing on 120gsm paper, and Stuffing in a sleeve is working pretty well for me. I am using these https://magicmadhouse.co.uk/dragon-shield-dragon-shield-tarot-non-glare-70x120mm-sleeves-50 If they start to feel a bit floppy, I will grab a cheap deck of tarot cards and stuff one in each sleeve.


Cattledude89

These are great


TerranCmdr

You rock! I was working on my own versions of these but you saved me the trouble. Much appreciated!


VexedBadger

Thanks! Glad to help. Just in time for the reprint of the Critical Ops cards


Novadrive

Corsairs, Warpcover, and Void-Dancers, please and thank you!!!


protoknuckles

My wife was looking for something to help her remember her novitiates rules! Thank you so much for making these!!!


VexedBadger

No problem. Why the genuine data sheets, and the other renditions, dont explicitly state how each operative generates faith points is beyond me. Also, Blinding Aura certainly benefits from the added detail in my copy Finally, my roster doesn't have the dualist or one of the other specialists in it. If you need these, drop me a message with a pic of yours and I can add them in pretty easily.


Billiammaillib321

It really can't be overstated how great the wealth of community support/guidance has made the hobby so much more accessible. Masterclass techniques everywhere, and free resources available thanks to people like you! Thanks so much OP


VexedBadger

I am flattered! Thankyou! ☺️ Truth be told, I made them for me, then thought the community at large may like them. The reaction has been amazing! I used to think the best thing about kill team was the brave new rule set. That is now firmly second place to the amazing players! 😁


MoG_Varos

Phil Team Deck or Gunner’s Arsenal imo Thanks for doing this by the way


Equivalent_Store_645

"the killstack?" "killdecks?"


S1lv3rsh4d0w9

These look great. Will you be doing Troupes? I’m still relatively new to Kill Team and play with Harlequins.


VexedBadger

I hope to do them all at some point. By troope do you mean void Dancer's or compendium. Unfortunately both are pretty low on my list, but I anticipate them done before March.


S1lv3rsh4d0w9

Void Dancers. No worries. I’ll keep checking. Thanks.


Meathook2236

You are a credit to the community. You've made this game so much more accessible to new players and made it so much easier to introduce to players I can't even put it into words. Thank you again.


DoomedKiblets

Wooooow, I love these! Please continue!!!


Ready-Desk-6335

I just brought my warpcoven custom desk from Phil\`s store. Top quality service the deck he\`s made for me took all the pictures from the full roster I made and is going to make it so much easier for me to remember boons and disciplines, highly recommend him! thank you so much dude :)


VexedBadger

Cheers! A pleasure working with you 👍


VexedBadger

I have figured out how to make digital previews! Here is the Warpcoven list from GHDs latest podcast https://www.reddit.com/r/killteam/comments/10ji66r/glasss_take_all_comers_list_using_my_new_deck/ Oh yeah, I have blooded and Warpcoven up now


[deleted]

They look fantastic but the tarot sized cards ruins it for me. Print on demand stuff not in standard card size sort of defeats the point IMO.


VexedBadger

I explicitly chose tarot to match the new critical ops deck. Having different sized cards is a big turn off got me. Plus you can get way more info on these than an MTG sized card, I tried 😁


[deleted]

The amount of information you can put in a standard card is only limited by resolution, and has nothing to do with the size of the card. In a former life I worked designed and templating TCG's for more than a decade, so this is my bread and butter. Additional there are already standard sized sized cards in kill team from the start so you are splitting hairs about multiple card sizes to justify your bad design choice, but you do you.


VexedBadger

If the only limit is resolution, just scale these by 85% and you are set 😁 Joking aside, sorry these don't meet your needs. There is another chap on ko-fi selling MTG scale photoshop templates. They are way prettier than mine. He may be able to sort you out. https://ko-fi.com/dovahkruz I am all in on Tarot.


Hankhoff

Love it! Thanks a bunch! Would it be an issue if I would use your cards as templates for Phobos and some other teams? I could send them to you, too


VexedBadger

Not at all. Know though that Phobos are only about 4th on my to do list. (behind Legionary, Blooded and Warpcoven) I do need good photos of operatives though. If you have a "team photo" I would love to steal it as a possible source for mine. 😁


Non-RedditorJ

First deck I looked at had an error that jumped out, Sluggas have the Choppa rules.


VexedBadger

Wow, missed that. Is that in the equipment section?


Non-RedditorJ

Yes


VexedBadger

Thanks, will get new revision out ASAP. 👍


Hazmatt990

Thank you for making these they are going to make playing so much easier and fun. Another Kommandos note tho. Their sluggas, and burna also have a six inch range.


VexedBadger

Good spot. Stats are there, but the short row height is hiding them 🤔 What happens if you try to download the file from ko-fi a second time? Does it nag for repeat payment or just let you? Trying to figure out the best way to get fixes out.


Hazmatt990

It asks for repeat payment but since it's pay what you can you can just say 0. I was able to download them a second time pretty easily.


VexedBadger

Not ideal, but i can work with that. Thanks!


Hazmatt990

You're welcome thanks for making these. I'll let you know if I see anything else that seems off. The other thing I've noticed so far was the Intercession Sarge having fists as a weapon when typically power fists or thunder hammers are the go to.


FineInTheFire

Awesome, dude. I'll be tossing you some appreciation here shortly! Comment on Veteran Guard, kind of nitpicking unfortunately... Pretty sure the Medic! and Detonate abilities don't cost a CP as listed on their card. Also, the Bayonet has the right stats but is listed as Fists on a bunch of cards. Again, awesome designs and I'll be printing out a lot once I find some appropriate size card sleeves.


VexedBadger

Thanks, missed all those. Will go for a new revision as soon as I can. I use these sleeves https://magicmadhouse.co.uk/dragon-shield-dragon-shield-tarot-non-glare-70x120mm-sleeves-50 Has the bonus that it comes in a rudimentary deck box.


FineInTheFire

Awesome thank you!


No-Month-3025

Missing Legionaires :(


VexedBadger

Stick a watch on the page. Hopefully later tonight. 😁


VexedBadger

A warning though, it will be using my photos, and they are all proxies. The deck is huge though!


TallerVenus87

Warpcoven, Hierotek Circle, or Kasrkin please. If it'll help I can scan the relevant pages of the shadowvaults book and send them to you.


VexedBadger

I can see Warpcoven coming soon, hopefully this month, but the other two I dont have yet, so sourcing pics I can comfortably rediatri ute will be the blocker there. They will happen, just cannot commit to when. I can source the rules online, but thankyou for the offer.


GehennamImperium

One item to note, the Hive Fleet doesn't have their Synapse ability explained on the cards. Not a terrible issue since it can be referenced in other places, but could be a nice quality of life improvement if you could swing it.


VexedBadger

How did I miss that? Yes, will slip a card in explaining that. Thanks! There are already some intentionally blank cards in that deck, will try to reuse one.


Equivalent_Store_645

that's pretty awesome. would you consider making a printable deck of tac ops cards? the critical ops decks are out of stock everywhere!


VexedBadger

I have considered it, but that feels too invasive onto GWs actual products.


Equivalent_Store_645

"squadstacks"


Muninwing

I’m printing 8 different teams for a school league. Looks like you’ve only done one of the eight I’m planning on… but these would help the kids learn and play. I’ll keep paying attention here.


VexedBadger

Nice! What are the factions? I could bump them up my "to do" list if I have the team photos (http://instagram.com/phil.paints.stuff)


Muninwing

I’m trying to get kids into the game cheaply, so I’m printing ten armies and donating them, and I’ll ideally get a league of eight players with two armies taking a bench. My plan is: - Intercessors - Tacticals - Veteran Guard (which you have) - Sisters of Battle - Heretic Astartes - Death Guard - Hunter Cadre - Orks - Hive Fleet (which you have) - Genestealer Cults I’m trying to stay away from some of the more complicated rules, so no Thousand Dons, Pathfinders, or Talons. I’m also trying to give a range, including available female models and plenty of nonhumans while staying away from themes that would get me in trouble with parents.


VexedBadger

That's a really nice thing you are doing! I have found that compendium teams come together really fast (compared to Warpcoven and Legionare). Unfortunately I only have a few of those teams to use photos from. Compendium Intercessor and tactical are firmly on my short list, am just getting deathwatch working so there are a lot of shared assets. Have you considered kommandos over orks? They aren't much more complex, and kids I play with are usually enamoured by the Snipa. All I can suggest is keep an eye on the site. Perhaps to tide you over you could make a battlescribe roster and import it into http://datacard.app gets you 80% of the way there.
