Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Combat Patrol: Deathwatch

Product Information

Make models troops that otherwise wouldn’t be. Kill Teams are all Troops, but they can still use Combat Squads. This means you can take five of the default troop model and five of something else, then split up pre-deployment and hey presto, you have a squad of specialist models that still has ObSec. This is especially relevant with the recent clarification on when Combat Squads happens pre-game, as you can now choose to put one half of the unit into deep strike with a Teleportarium. These have all their normal wargear options, e.g. Intercessors can take auto, stalker, or regular bolt rifles, or Eliminators can swap their bolt sniper rifle for a las fusil. There’s also some adjustments to unit abilities, e.g. Outriders keep Devastating Charge but only for themselves. Similarly, only Eradicators can use Total Annihilation. Probably most unique is the Spectrus Kill Team – Omni-scramblers requires at least 1 model in the unit to be an Infiltrator, but it continues applying to “the unit” as normal; the same is true of Terror Troops from the Reivers. The Multi-spectrum Array only applies to Incursors, however. For a long time, the Start Collecting! boxes have been a great way to begin a Warhammer 40,000 army or to add to an existing one. Now, as new codexes and codex supplements come out, they will start to be replaced with Combat Patrol boxes instead. Making a cameo appearance from the Ultramarines codex is Chaplain Cassius, here thanks to the Kill Team Overdrive box (or whatever it was called) and the self-titled Kill Team Cassius. He gets a Deathwatch bolt pistol instead of a regular one, a slightly fancier crozius, Fiery Conviction which gives him +1 to litany rolls without being a Master of Sanctity/Wise Orator, and really nothing else special except for a designer’s note which says you kind of shouldn’t use him with Primaris models for fluff reasons. That’s fine, because you’re not gonna use him at all. Codicier Natorian Buy from Element Games) Warhammer 40k Combat Patrol Analysis: What’s the Best Value and What’s the Worst Value?

That pretty much rounds things out here, and completes a spicy overall recipe. Excellent ranged damage, mobile, flexible units for early positional play, and powerful set of tools for adapting to any situation – what’s not to like? Congratulations to John for another event win. DeathwatchSH – East China Open – 2nd Place The List Once again, we have another solid Space Marine box. This is one of the few boxes to not include a larger unit, but this is Death Watch, and they don’t need one. The combination of a Lieutenant and an Apothecary is a much more tactical pairing and will force you to use cover and a range of tactics to slay the xeno filth. Which is much more in keeping with the Death Watch lore. Are They Difficult To Paint? Field a battle ready force of Warhammer 40k Deathwatch Space Marines straight out of the box with the Combat Patrol: Deathwatch starter set. With everything you need to build a 'combat patrol' sized battle force of Deathwatch specific models this new boxed set is ideal not only ideal for new players but for established players looking to expand their collection of Death Watch marines. The 40K Combat Patrol Adeptus Custodes is a great way to get started with this army and get a lot of excellent miniatures at a bargain. The box includes 1 Shield Captain, 1 Vexilius Praetor, 3 Custodian Guard, 3 Vertus Praetors, 10 Sisters of Silence Prosecutors, and 2 Burning of Prospero transfer sheets. The set is quite versatile, and you can combine and build the miniatures in multiple ways to get maximum value.Apothecary [5 PL, 90pts, -1CP]: Chapter Command: Chief Apothecary, Stratagem: Hero of the Chapter, The Tome of Ectoclades Fortis: 5 Intercessors, 5 Assault Hellblasters. Assault Hellblasters are very nearly good on rate, but their fragility is killer. This build lets you bypass that by putting five brave Intercessors in between them and death.

Special Issue Loadout – 2CP –Use in your Shooting phase when a DEATHWATCH INFANTRY unit is selected to shoot. Until the end of the phase, bolt weapons (except bolt sniper rifles for Eliminators) other than those that already have it gain Special-Issue Ammunition and change their Type to Heavy 1. Nice for getting to make a bit more use of the Special-Issue Ammunition rule, but quite expensive and limiting as it reduces your shot count and imposes a potential movement penalty as well. B Narrow focus. The flip side to the alien-hunting speciality of the Deathwatch is that it limits their options – even in your best-case scenario facing off against a xenos army you have four of your stratagems that do nothing, and against other Imperium armies or Chaos a full six of your stratagems do precisely nothing, and half your Chapter Tactic is inoperative. That’s a whole lot of your stratagem sheet which is only conditionally active. Crank up those rookie numbers. Kill Teams let you bypass the three model cap that normally exists for Eliminators and Outriders. Dominus Aegis. Replaces a storm shield, relic shield, or combat shield, gives the bearer +1 to armour saves, and gives a 6″ aura granting DEATHWATCH CORE and DEATHAWTCH CHARACTER units a 5+ invulnerable save. An exceptional relic for increasing the durability of your expensive Space Marines, and particularly fantastic handing out an invulnerable save to your Redemptor Dreadnoughts, a real unique strength for Deathwatch. A Today’s build takes one of Deathwatch’s definite strengths, namely buffing Redemptor Dreadnoughts, and turns it right up to eleven. You’ve got your standard Dominus Aegis to give them a 5++, and the expected Tome of the Ectoclades to give them one turn of absolutely evaporating something off the board (along with the VolCons, who also benefit hugely from this relic) but the extra anti-Drukhari spice here is the addition of the Vhorkan-Pattern Auspicator, which is an aura of +1 to hit against units with FLY. This list has very clear thoughts on the subject of Raiders and that opinion is “no”.Assault Hellblasters in Fortis teams let you concentrate a much higher volume of flexible high value shots into a single unit than you can trivially get access to in Proteus builds. This is on show here in the Fortis Kill team, which cranks the value even higher by running as Malleus. Thanks to having the Tome of the Ectoclades as well, this list has multiple ways to get full wound re-rolls onto the plasma here, which will let them do spectacular damage to key targets. We have previously written about the various Start Collecting boxes to see which ones are the best value, but since that article was written there have been a LOT of changes to Combat Patrol Range. There are currently 18 Combat Patrol boxes available–the replacement for the Start Collecting box–and more coming out all the time. Given it's been so long and primaris weren't even a twinkle in a dead guilliman's eye when I stopped I've gone all primaris.
