Twin Companies of Phoenix

As the primary Sergeant of the Kill Team, and the Sergeant representative of the Raven Guard successor in the lore, the model is lightly armoured and carries with them the colours of their Chapter.

The model is equipped with both a Boltgun, and Pistol/Sword combination both by having the Boltgun be slung over their shoulder. If built like this, declare which loadout you use before starting the match, and stick to it.

On the pictured model, the chainsword has been replaced with an actual sword to represent the lore better - but no changes to stats.

This particular model comes without a grappling hook. In order to match the rules of the Hunter, however, it was made to appear as an already-climbing knife maniac whose spear sticks out so aggressively it may be their chosen weapon - still on their back - when they dive to charge an enemy below them.

This is to signify the Hunter's "+3 Lethal" weapon rule upon a charge featuring acrobatics.

A unit heavily fitting the lore and vibes of the Raven Guard. To signify the Sniper being a Sniper, more scopes were added, and a woodland camo for a woodland base adorns their otherwise dark suit, chosen black in honor of the chapter that was as this unit possibly exemplifies the Raven best.

The 'Scout', Scout of Scouts, was modified to match the Scout class of Long War. This includes the Bolt Gun in question being a modified Eliminator weapon, trimmed to have the profile of a potential Marksman's Rifle, a middle ground between Assault Rifle and Sniper Rifle.

This is to bring in the fantasy of Long War's own Scout, a class born from a more mobile and aggressive Sniper. Believe it or not, the Scout in Long War is likely the most stealthiest of them all - yet keeping your Scout hidden is folly. Their ability to evade Overwatch fire is paramount, you want the enemy to see them run by.

The Auspex is added to the gun itself, integrated into its design. The camo of the Scout pictured is that of a paved road with yellow markings, to prove that many kinds of camo exists. Even ones suited for unorthodox urban warfare.

No changes in the rules despite using a 'different' weapon model.

Akin to how the Raven Guard's Starlight half is better with subterfuge and stealth, the Salamander Sunlight half excels in shock and awe, fire and bullets. The Sabotaging half of a Scout's mission. Thus, the Heavy Gunner in both forms with their weapons match them well.

The Gunner of the Heavy focuses on his heavy bolter much akin to the Gunner of the Long War, who themselves originated from the vanilla Heavy class - back then wielding both LMG and Rocket Launcher. Uniquely, the Gunner of Long War wields no pistol, unlike the Kill Team equivalent.

Slow, heavy, lots of bullets. The Gunner in the picture has been given a Salamander-like dark Green in honor of the chapter that was, as this unit possibly best represents the Dragon that was. Notably, a silver sheen on metal pieces was added for visual player interest.

The Rocketeer carries a big gun and little else; while the bright orange with stylish silver is optional for recreations intended to lean on stealth, it does add a layer of flair and 'danger' to the Rocketeer.

The Rocketeer exists in Long War as one half of the split Heavy class, where the XCOM Rocketeer half can notably equip rifles - this is not an option in Kill Team, and so the Rocketeer here only has a Pistol and their Fists in order to respect the game's rules.

Whilst the Scout Kill Team has no dedicated utility item expert, it's still fun to make one that looks like them. It has been a recurring element that the Engineer, above all Warriors whether by circumstance or convenience, has most often been the one to throw grenades during play. In Long War, the Engineer is the class specialised in all utility items; most relevant to most player being grenades, both offensive and defensive grenades. And while everyone can bring a grenade in that game, only the Engineer can bring three and make them all dance.

The Engineer leans on the Adaptive Equipment element of the Warriors, but changes no rules despite their lore.

Modelled after the idea of the Assault of Long War as well as vanilla Enemy Unknown. The Assault prefers a Shotgun, the skills to make it useful, and the courage to run into its range of use, though it can be made to hold a rifle for those so inclined. There is not much more to say, for all else is deafened by the blast of such a weapon. Ideally at close range, where in Long War its crit chance increases with proximity.

There is no actual "medic" in a Scout Squad's Kill Team; all wounds lost are permanently lost. But the idea of one is still one that completes the circle and adds in a final Long War class to the team. In that sense, the model pictured is the black sheep of the family. The one class that cannot translate well. But that is fine.

The Medic was given a shotgun slung over its back and a pistol/blade combination in its hands. Neither of these weapons are ideal for the XCOM Medic, but they are highly prized for Scout Warriors. The choice made should be declared before the match begins. The pistol on the pictured model is specifically an Apothecary Biologis', chosen due to the emblem. No changes in the rules should be made to adapt this additional lore and change in the model.

But it could be fun for a more homebrew, narrative and unofficial game to have a Medic Scout.

The Trooper carries both a Shotgun and a Boltgun, but can only use one during the match, declared before it starts. Given both to signify the Trooper class' roots in the Assault of Enemy Unknown; both weapons can be used with good proficiency. Although the Rifle may be a better choice in Long War. Native to the Long War Trooper is the ability to shoot twice if you do not move; this is reflected in the Astartes Training Firefight Ploy, and has been further reflected on the model by giving them Primaris arms and bolter, rather than a Scout's.

While the shotgun is in his hands, the boltgun is slung on the shoulder. This is to allow for both loadouts to be a viable pick, should this be desired. Can be run together with the other Sergeant IF you turn one of them into a mere Warrior with equivalent gear.

The character is painted more ostentatious and 'cleanly' than the Hunter in order to signify them as a higher rank.

While the other Hunter isn't nearly as bloody and mad as the original one, a knife throwing arm still signifies the intent of ... unorthodox combat. The model is equipped with a bolt pistol in a holster, but the model also has no less than seven knives; five holstered around the model, two in each hand. It is entirely possible the true ranged attacks, while following a Bolt Pistol's profile, is actually just knife throws.

This little twinge of madness is what marks them as a Hunter, and the slightly less ostentatious painting marks them as a lower rank compared to the Sergeant of the same scheme.
