I got to play
Kill Team using my mate's figures and scenery last weekend. We're both quite inexperienced and aren't up to speed on all the nuances and quirks of the system, but gave it a fair go.
I borrowed his Deathwatch: five marines including a Frag Cannon, a Black Shield, a Bolt Rifle, a Thunder Hammer, and a leader with a Phase Sword.

I didn't get a good picture of his Harlequins, but there were Harlequin's Kisses and fusion pistols.

We played a mission where I was defending three objectives. He could capture or destroy them.

| Harlequins prepare to run down the board... |

| ...into a Frag Cannon shell. Kaboom! |
 |
| Harlequins swarm the Sergeant... |
 |
| ...and attack my left flank. |
 |
| The Sergeant cannot hold them off... |
 |
| ... but his death opens an opportunity. More Kabooms! |
 |
| The last Harlequin goes down. |
We also played a game of
Kill Team Arena, which is a more 'balanced' scenario in closer confines. The Deathwatch pulled out a win here as well.

In both games the Harlequins were, as expected, blisteringly fast. They didn't hit as hard as expected, however, and were very fragile. Their fusion pistols are still very nasty, but the Deathwatch Frag Cannon is devastating, particularly in overwatch.
It was great to play on nice scenery with gorgeous painted figures.

Now that looked like a lot of fun!
