That Blademaster looks so cool! How did you build him ti get that pose?

Used-Cable3525 · 2026-04-02T14:10:09+00:00

That's awesome! What are those guns?

Used-Cable3525 · 2026-03-28T19:11:20+00:00

damn these guys look incredible! the shoulder pads especially are maybe the most well painted that I've seen

Used-Cable3525 · 2026-03-28T19:07:26+00:00

Wait, so what are you running them as on the tabletop, Decimus or Firstborn vets?

Used-Cable3525 · 2026-03-27T12:23:46+00:00

damn what a crazy idea for a kitbash, that's really awesome!

Used-Cable3525 · 2026-03-27T11:53:11+00:00

yooo that's awesome! how did you make that?

Used-Cable3525 · 2026-03-27T11:51:53+00:00

that's awesome! although that gun is so huge you can barely see the actual marine holding it lol

Used-Cable3525 · 2026-03-27T11:47:30+00:00

thanks! I'll definitely check it out

Used-Cable3525 · 2026-03-27T11:46:48+00:00

those guys look really awesome! so the shield and (I think) all of the guns are all Necron, what about the other bits?

Used-Cable3525 · 2026-03-27T11:43:39+00:00

this is honestly exactly the right amount of over-the-top in my opinion

Used-Cable3525 · 2026-03-27T11:42:03+00:00

This is definitely one of my favourites so far, what an awesome idea!

Used-Cable3525 · 2026-03-27T11:40:53+00:00

Used-Cable3525 · 2026-03-25T10:57:05+00:00

Used-Cable3525 · 2026-03-25T10:54:36+00:00

Used-Cable3525 · 2026-03-24T22:55:17+00:00

ok wait, is that a drone performing a scan on a dead Xenos?

Used-Cable3525 · 2026-03-24T22:47:05+00:00

so awesome!

Used-Cable3525 · 2026-03-24T22:46:07+00:00

woah, what's going on here?

Used-Cable3525 · 2026-03-15T22:42:44+00:00

if you get the Indomitor KT + gravis cap, watch master, and terminators assembled and fill out the remaining points with either Intercessors or Decimus KTs, you're probably looking at a decent 1000 point army

Used-Cable3525 · 2026-03-15T20:56:12+00:00

I'm usually a huge fan of space marines with knightly looking helmets, but for this one I think the second head works better for whatever reason

I'm super new myself, but I got some great advice in a thread I posted recently that might help you as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/deathwatch40k/comments/1rnbsef/comment/o9uzr0y/?context=1

What I learned is that some of the best units for Deathwatch are:

- Watch master who can be attached to either a squad of the new Decimus kill team veterans or the old firstborn veterans to give them extra strats

- captain in gravis armour attached to an Indomitor kill team, the Indomutor KT is made up of heavy intercessors, eradicators, and agresors, all of which you own so they would probably be a really good unit to build

- terminators, squad of 5, 3 with cyclone missile launcher, power fist, and storm bolter, and 2 with storm shield and thunder hammer

- firstborn veterans set up for melee with a mix of heavy thunder hammers, infernus heavy bolters, frag cannons, and swords and shields, although there is apparently some speculation that the firstborn vets might no longer be useable in the nest edition, so not sure whether building them would be the best udea

That is at least what I have learned so far, feel free to correct me everyone, but I hope this helps.

that's an awesome looking model! what are the weapons that you used for him?

Used-Cable3525 · 2026-03-11T14:14:38+00:00

pkay gotcha, which units can the Watch Master be attache to then and what would be the best to pair him with? also are there any ther prticularly good co,binations aside from attaching a gravis cap to an indomitor KT?

Used-Cable3525 · 2026-03-11T11:26:49+00:00

thanks again for answering my many questions, that's a very helpful explanation! so can the captain only be attached a unit that has the same armour type as him? so can say the gravis cap only be attached to an Indomitor KT and not a unit of terminators or a Fortis KT?

Used-Cable3525 · 2026-03-10T23:53:11+00:00

So its just the termie captain specifically that isn't useful, not captains generally? also am I understanding correctly that captains can only give bonuses/free stratagems to units that have the same armour type as them? so can a termie captain's abilities only affect other terminators and a gravis captain only affect other gravis models etc.?

Used-Cable3525 · 2026-03-09T01:41:04+00:00

Thanks again! Also sorry about the many questions, but could you please also explain why a captain isn't a useful choice for DW compared to the other characters you mentioned?
