TNT Kill Team - Week Three

Week three of our Kill Team League has now been completed. The Crit Op for this week was Orb. In this phase, we had match ups and results:

On Octarius James held the home ground and beat off Jake (Binky)'s Sanctifiers
On Beta Decima George continued his winning streak again Leo
On Moroch Jess's Legionaires saw off the challenge from Kevin's Sisters of Battle
On Tomb World Jake (RTK)'s Necrons proved two strong for the Murder Wing of Richard
On Outpost Vince won a very close game against Jake

This week the mission will be Stake Claim:  where players pick an objective marker and a condition each turning point (TP2+): either controlling it or denying enemy control. Successful claims earn 1 VP, plus 1 VP for holding the majority of objectives. It focuses on positioning and control rather than mission actions.
When: Starts from the first strategy phase of TP2 onwards.
The Action: Choose one objective and pick one of two claims:Friendly operatives control it.
No enemy operatives contest it.
Restrictions: You cannot select the same objective more than once per battle.
Scoring: 1 VP at the end of the Turning Point if your claim is true. An additional 1 VP is gained for controlling the majority of total objective markers.

At the end of the second week the leader board looks like this, we have two plays on 9 points just separated by a few victory points...

1, Jake (RTK) 9 points, 59 victory points

2, George 9 points, 41 victory points

3, Richard 6 points, 43 victory points

4, James 6 points, 35 victory points

Halo Flashpoint Update

 

First Off, something BIG is coming to Halo Flashpoint!

The Noble Team boxed set includes an expansion book with rules for playing bigger games of Halo: Flashpoint, alongside the fantastic MasterCraft Resin figures for Noble Team, and the UNSC Man Cannons. Fireteams in these bigger games will be 400-500 points each (so the perfect way to use all of Noble Team!), rather than the current standard size of 200 points, and you'll play on a much larger battlefield - 8 x 16 cubes!

As part of this expansion booklet, you will see 4 new scenarios for use with the BTB game mode

There are a few differences to how BTB is played compared to regular games of Halo: Flashpoint. So far Mantic have revealed, a couple of the changes, which are:

• 3 choices of Respawns - Regular, None, or Single Use!
• The normal limit of picking only 2 of any type of item is doubled for BTB, to 4 of any single type of item.

In the future, more scenarios will appear in large expansions. Mantic seem to be very committed to BTB and there are likely to be a lot more updates coming this year.

Part of the new ruleset is also covering cooperative play - so if you wanted to play with a friend and each of you had 250 points, there are now rules that support that method of play in BTB

What about the rest of 2026?
