Astra Militarum Kill Team part 2

We've seen the specialists and gunners, but no kill team, especially not a guard one, can operate on specialists alone, as such you need a few guardsmen to fill out the roster. I've split the guardsmen up in to smaller

Desetnik (Master corporal) Schonnen of the Yophouliv Infantry Regiment - In contrast to his fellow Yophoulivian, Schonnen is a force to be reckoned with, taking orders in there loosest terms. While he will always complete the order, he'll more often than not ignore the details and do things his way, usually by brute force and overwhelming firepower. As far as Schonnen is concerned, There are few enemies or problems that can't be overcome with the application massive amounts of firepower. 
Trooper lasko of the croydinian mounted rifles - Lasko is often seen close to Pavlo and Bask, stalking the shadows in their wake, looking for any threat to the rear. While not as competent as Bask, Lasko is nonetheless an excellent shot, more so at the close ranges  of urban combat, where quick reactions are key. If only he hasn't lost his shotgun?
Private 2nd class Gryf  of the Librara Infantry - Gryf is not a man to anger, constantly looking for a fight, he will explode from the slightest comment or look. It takes a good leader to channel this energy in the right direction, but when it is, Gryf is an excellent soldier. Gryf's anger comes not from the actions of the enemy or xenos but the attitudes and opinions of the officers around him. If an officer is killed in mysterious circumstances somewhere on the battlefield and Gryf is nearby, there's a good chance it wasn't an accident.
Trooper Storm of the Onus Third Grenadiers - Storm is a man out for retribution. Born and raised as part of a peaceful farming village that was destroyed by Dark Eldar raiders, Storm is set on destroying as many of the foul xenos as possible, making little differentiation between the various Eldar races. Storm is never more aggressive and concentrated than when facing the Eldar, although if there are no Eldar around, then any xenos will make a suitable substitute.
Lead Rifleman (Lance Corporal) Ushad of the Earia 656th Rifles - Ushad is Khabir's usually sniper partner and has been for many years. While Khabir is lining up the perfect shot, it is Ushads job to secure the rear and flanks, to ensure Khabir is not disturbed. While Ushad is superior in rank, there partnership has evolved in to an equal partnership, as both men recognise the strengths and weaknesses of each other, in other words, Khabir can't navigate his way out of a base and Ushad can't hit a barn door at more than 20 paces.

Lead rifleman (Corporal) Stryker of the  Xieyama Legion - Like many guardsman, Stryker has a hatred of all things xenos. Strykers is derived by desire for vengeance against those that decimated the legion, namely the hedonistic cults that sulk in the darkness underground. 
Trooper Niems of the Seonov 2934th Regiment - Niems is considered by many to be the perfect soldier, dutiful, respectful and always well presented, with polished boots and clean kit. In truth, Niems will follow every and all orders to the letter, as he has absolutely zero imagination or capacity for independent thought, relying on those above him to tell him everything he needs to know. This is great in many respects, especially in line infantry, where following orders and standing and firing are excellent qualities but no so good in the free flowing and chaotic fire fights that the unit usually finds itself in.
Senior Sapper (Lance Corporal) Brett of the Zenrov 53rd Highland Dragoons - the Highland Dragoons pride themselves on there courage and professionalism and Brett is no exception to this. As courageous as they come and after several years as a soldier, very little phases him. Often seen at the front of an advance, leading from the front. 
Sapper Lance of the Zenrov 53rd Highland Dragoons - Lance is another typical Dragoon, courageous and fearless, especially when there are other troops in front of him! This is not a sign of any weakness, just practically, as while Lance is as courageous as any other Dragoon, he's generally a lot smarter, and is not blinded to the fact, those at the front tend to die first. He will advance like any other but will always do what he can to ensure he is safely in the middle somewhere.
Recruit Mortens of the Hrossey Yeomanry - Mortens is a man who has shown a maturity well beyond his years. While only a recruit, he has shown himself to be an excellent and reliable soldier, often seen in the center of the line, standing firm, shoulder to shoulder with vets several times his age. It is not often that a recruit is welcomed openly into a new squad but Mortens actions and abilities meant it didn't take long to find his place around the camp fire.

Corporal 1st class Erlen of the Hrossey Yeomanry - Erlen aspires to be one of the greatest soldiers in the Imperium and can always be seen standing tall at the front of any assault. Courageous to a fault, this man does not know the meaning of retreat and is always looking to take the fight to the enemy. He is also a good leader, fair and even to the men under his charge.
Yeoman Thenmann of the Hrossey Yeomanry - Thenmann was raised on the plains of Hrossey, away from the small hive cities that dot the planet surface. As such he learnt to use a rifle to hunt from a very early age and this knowledge has served him well as a guardsman. Thenmann is one of, if not the best shot in his company and possibly the regiment.
Naik (Corporal) Mohal of the Milriuq 21st Raiders - The planet of Milriuq is an irradiated waste land of old manufactoriums, a result of a catastrophic industrial accident. From these ruins the remnants of the population survive and continue to serve the Imperium. Mohal is a dutiful soldier, who has wanted nothing but to serve his whole life. Having absolute faith in his seniors he will follow them and there commands no matter what.
Sapoy Asphret of the Milriuq 21st Raiders - born and bred in a small ecclesiastical community on Milriuq, Asphrets faith in the emperor is unshakable. While he does not shout and scream his faith to those around him, his faith is still strong enough to influence those around him.
Sapoy 'Swiftrider' of the Milriuq 21st Raiders - The history and story from swiftriders youth before he joined the raiders is unknown to all but himself. He never speaks about his past and if pressed, he will react with open hostility to his would be questioner. What is evident is that there is something in his past that haunts him, something he is ashamed of and is not willing to share with anyone. 


So that's the complete Kill Team, all 30 members, yes its 10 more than allowed, but I wanted to build all the options and have the options for special weapons. As we tend to play very casually having lots of options is good.
