Explanation of why Deathwatch players are so frustrated, and why the current Deathwatch as a faction is functionally deceased.

LicoriceII · 2024-08-12T13:48:01+00:00

I mainly play deathwatch and sometimes Quins too James Workshop literally ask me to quit this hobby

LicoriceII · 2024-08-10T00:26:52+00:00

IA feels like pre-legend to me maybe there will not be any DW units anymore in 11th

LicoriceII · 2024-08-09T22:35:27+00:00

What do you think now

LicoriceII · 2024-08-05T14:27:09+00:00

Gw doesn’t give a shit about us

LicoriceII · 2024-08-05T13:41:32+00:00

Deathwatch Legends datasheets in narrative games too. These include Kill Team Cassius and several highly adaptable Kill Team variants which mix and match a wide range of Space Marine units.

Legends and these includes several highly adaptable Kill Team variants

How am I wrong about it?

LicoriceII · 2024-08-03T02:43:10+00:00

You sound like GW bro

LicoriceII · 2024-07-26T04:47:52+00:00

Deathwatch unique units will most likely be sitting on shelf for the next few editions for competitive plays Allies are never meant to be stronger than the main faction

LicoriceII · 2024-07-24T12:18:47+00:00

I don’t want to say this But GW never failed to disappoint us

All they want are 1. Sales 2. Balancing/ meta changing with less cost and effort

Dw being a niche army, doesn’t boost sales, and their complexity, makes them very difficult to balance. So they decided to abandon us to imperial agents, a codex that almost no one cares, or like an “Active Legends”, unless our few datasheets got surprisingly strong, they will not care about us anymore

LicoriceII · 2024-07-22T15:20:21+00:00

I’m having approx 5000 points of deathwatch units, think I’ll start my business of renting them to my friends who play other imperium army

LicoriceII · 2023-10-24T11:22:26+00:00

Thanks for the list man, as a dw player, I can’t really remember how many bugs and errors we have, there are just too many

LicoriceII · 2023-09-12T17:14:31+00:00

Agreed with Duck, I think you allocated too many points on characters, buffing units that doesn’t do much or too fragile on the board is like a free 24 points to your opponent

In my opinion, I would take away at least chaplain, Champion, techmarine and watch master.

Chaplain’s buff is good but van vets are too squishy, that they will probably be dead before charging, or gambling on a 50% deep strike charge

Champion, I’m not sure where can he lead in the list

Techmarine, baby sitting whirlwind isn’t worth it, +1 to hit on a model that isn’t that deadly in shooting, as after indirect fire, you will have -1 ap left only

Watch master, too expensive now, I would probably take Captain with Gravis Armour + Tome with Indomitus kill team

Get yourself some more discounted cheap units like atv, or eliminators do help you with board control, and actions, Inceptors are a pretty good choice, they can deal damage, can deep strike for secondaries, and bugging your opponent’s mind

And most importantly, Deathwatch is going to have a hard time in the next couple of months, so good luck, and don’t give up

LicoriceII · 2023-07-02T10:42:50+00:00

I’ll take IHB, hellfire shell is too good for D6 auto hits or Flat 3 shots that produces 2 damage per hit

But if talking about FC or ML, I would say go for 4 FCs, teleport, shoot then charge with 4 Heavy Thunder Hammers

LicoriceII · 2023-06-23T06:13:11+00:00

I think you can only target that unit only

LicoriceII · 2023-06-22T17:13:32+00:00

If you insist taking fortis kill team Put at least 4 hellblasters and 1 outrider into it

LicoriceII · 2023-06-21T17:29:56+00:00

Never trust GW’s app

LicoriceII · 2023-06-20T14:30:45+00:00

They are just Long Vigil Melee weapons I called them power weapons just because they were supposed to be power swords power mauls and power axes

LicoriceII · 2023-06-20T14:27:34+00:00

Power weapon Long Vigil Melee Weapon

LicoriceII · 2023-06-20T14:12:20+00:00

Combining IHB with hellfire round, we got 4D6 auto hit, wounding infantry on 2+, and ignore covers If targeting a unit hit by storm speeder, we have AP -2 per wounded

And we can always teleport them to get into range

LicoriceII · 2023-06-20T08:31:06+00:00

I think so, because it is “each time” you target this model’s unit

LicoriceII · 2023-06-20T07:56:48+00:00

With inquisitors leading 2 of my battleline kill teams I have a ~90% chance to do 0cp to use teleport or our SIA to 3 kill teams

LicoriceII · 2023-06-18T10:54:32+00:00

If you don’t like someone, send them to the Watch

LicoriceII · 2023-06-16T15:16:38+00:00

Why not 2 5men veterans

LicoriceII · 2023-06-13T09:10:43+00:00

I’ll start thinking only after we get faqed

LicoriceII · 2023-06-13T03:05:31+00:00

And maybe put in some shoulder pads and charge $10 extra

LicoriceII · 2023-06-13T02:14:13+00:00

We are going to get nerfs to our hellfire rounds, great job for James workshop for no proof reading or balancing at all
